Though DEM's can be cop-out endings, DEM's also serve primarily as plot devices with a conception that one imagined took place in the writer's room as the last dead stripper with whom they'd been thrown on a train to Adventure Land spit out a drop of blood inexplicably, and hours after she uttered her last breath, signifying to the writers that the dealings with which they'd grown involved, particularly the destruction of the Gremalian ship in the hangar that happened to be owned by Gremalian Ambassador Mirakia, would lead to a permanent case of IRL plagiarism, typically if the hupu trip to Krion happened to occur during the plotting of a critical scene in the narrative which is being told by said writers, a resolution to an important plotline taking cue from the events, given their being fantastical, which is, in most literary circles, not an ideal form of storytelling.
The Mist (as mentioned earlier). The revised ending was so different and crap compared to the open ended ending of the book, which held the smallest glimmer of hope amid the horror and despair. The movie ending was really forced and just pointlessly morbid, like pyschological torture porn suffered upon the main character by cruel fate
In Transformers, Megatron wasn't trying to get the Allspark shoved into his chest. It overloaded his circuits.
I agree with War of the Worlds. It's kind of lame, yet sensible I guess.

The whole MOVIE was strange, that's why it was awesome. Perfectly weird ending for a perfectly fucked movie.Aedrial said:
That, and why the fuck did the Tripods start breaking down? Well, ok, I know why but...Birras said:
it's an enormous plot-hole! The aliens develop machines that shoot disintegration rays and nearly take over the earth, but they can't make protective suits? WTF is up with that?
deus ex machina is an act of god, or more correctly in this context, when the result has nothing to with what the protagonists are doing. Like, if the protagonists get to the end of the story, and the ending has nothing to do with them..Motti said:
just a little example, in Two Towers novel, Aragorn, Gimly and Legolas are racing to Isengard at an exhausting pace, to save Merry and Pippin, but when they get there, the Ents have already rescued Merry and pippin, and destroyed Isengard. And then after it tells Merry and Pippin's side of the tale, but when you first read it, it's anticlimactic. The movie corrects this by showing the scenes in chronological sequence, but in the book, that's not how it happened.
The book has an entirely different ending... and it's sort of funny, he talks about how he liked the books ending, but everyone else seemed to hate it, and wish he had a more conclusive ending, in the book itself.mooncalf said:
Deus ex machina is when something randomly happens to resolve a conflict. Waking up from a dream is just an easy way to create this.
Skinned Deep.
Killing a knife wielding villain with a motorcycle, when he JUST survived an explosion? Yes!
Getting attacked by an alien-like creature from the innards of a decapitated god-man? Sure!
Entering a policeman's shack to report that your family is dead and you were held captive by freaks that were killed by an ancient, almost mezozoic, biker gang and ask him to call the cops? Of course.
Screaming for the entire lenght of the credits? Sure, why not!
