AFter about 30 minutes of the film, I tried to do that.....even then it was horrible.Sacman said:
It was a good movie to go to with friends, you just shut off your brain and laugh at how stupid it is... It's like a cheezy 80's B movie there was no way it was going to be good so there was no point in having expectations...Julianking93 said:
I imagine that would be good. Like watching MST3K.Sacman said:
Though when you have no friends to go with and went in completely serious, you leave disappointed. Especially after defending the movie for so long >>
It wasn't as bad as he made it out to be. Yes, there were people acting retarded by putting themselves in danger for no good reason. Yes, there was the stereotypical latino catholic guy there. But Bob is missing a few things. First, the toast had jam on it, not butter. Second, the fact that nobody believes that one guy is pretty reasonable. Third, there is a message in the end which is actually the whole point of the thing. I'm pretty forgiving about movies that I go see, and especially so if the movie makes you think or has a message. Granted this is a straightforward message, but it's not shoved down your throat, just presented there. Finally, the detective character really held everything together.
Devil Toast.
Also wouldn't Butter Side UP mean the devil?
Since Jesus could appear on the other side.

I would go to the movies with you if I weren't on the other side of the country... but going to the movies with friends especially now is terrible especially if it's something you want to see, that's why I went to go see Metropolis alone, that and no one wanted to go see a 2 and a half hour long German silent film from 1927, and I can't tell you how many black eyes I got from balled up Swedish fish...Julianking93 said:
and ouch were you a Shyamalan fan?
Butter toast? Really M. Night? Are you fucking kidding me? Ugh, screw this guy. Good review Bob
.....I would have totally gone to see that with you. I love that movie. ^-^ Seriously, what the hell is wrong with your friends for not wanting to see it?Sacman said:
And no, I only ever liked Unbreakable but I was getting pissed off that everyone just said this movie was going to suck because it had M Night's name on it. It's not even his movie people, give is a chance.
Well.....despite it not being one of his movies, amazingly it retains every bad thing about his movies right down to the shitty directing he's known for >>
Well my friends are idiots when it comes to entertainment, you know there the kind of people who genuinely liked Micheal Bay's Transformers, and only play Call of Duty, and Madden despite owning all of the current generation systems...Julianking93 said:
And I didn't think Devil was going to be bad because it had his name labeled on it I just thought the concept was utterly stupid... come on? a bunch of people stuck on an elevator and one of them is the Devil...
No offense, but I hate those types of people. Anyone who actually likes Transformers is just.....ugh.....I don't even wanna go there >>Sacman said:
I thought the concept was good, it was just executed horribly. If it was done in a more......I don't know.....good way it would have been better. And with better actors. I thought something that could have made it better was if the camera never left the elevator. That way, it would have given a far more claustrophobic feel and the feeling of actual isolation. But, I have Buried to look forward to for that kind of entertainment ^-^
But what can I do I just convinced a few of them to join my band as the drummer and pianist/keyboardist? (I don't know what you call them)but anyway what can I do? a good band is a happy band...Julianking93 said:
I don't know about Buried either I think it's just that this type of movie, you know the claustrophobic character driven thriller, doesn't appeal to me very much...
Meh. Can't help you there,, but it would be both if they did both. If they played both regular piano but also played a synthesizer or a keyboard with all the crazy effects, then both.Sacman said:
Hm. I think it'll be good, honestly. From what I heard when it was released at Sundance, it's supposed to be one of the best films of the year.
They play both and actually they play the organ too but that's not the point... were gonna have our first practice as a full band tomorrow so well see how that goes...Julianking93 said:
Hm, maybe I'll check it out my GF is interested in seeing it anyway... but I'm more of a Sci-fi man myself...
That was a great picture of a walrus.
...So I've been reading a dumbed-down adaption of the bible?Sylocat said:
Wow, you have no concept of metaphors, do you? For one, I was joking, for two, it's not a literal, actual copy of The Sims, just a cosmic-scale clone of it.Lukyo said:
Secondly, your theory about "it's just a reference to the Trinity" is preposterous for a number of reasons, including that it makes God look like a gigantic asshole, that it causes nothing that any character does to make sense, that it sets up massive contradictions within the story itself, that it makes none of the character actions make sense (God's OR humanity's), and that historical records indicate that nobody actually believed that at the time Jesus was alive.
This is the type of movie that sounds bad from the very premise. Five people trapped in the elevator and one of them is the Devil? What is the Devil doing inside an elevator? Why? Is he that bored nobody has nothing to give him to do that he goes pestering bystanders on an elevator?
Thank you MovieBob, for leting us know how this movie fairs. But I need at least another two movies from M. Night Shyamalan to totally lose the faith on him. He has two more of these "Night Chronicles" left to do. Let's wait and see.
