All <b>you</b> have to do is re-read my post and comprehend it. It’s laughable that you expect me to jump through hoops for some sad woke little shit, trying and failing to gaslight readers into thinking ‘there’s nothing to see here’ 🤣
I didn’t ‘undercut my own narrative’, I just copied and pasted the exact same text, dumbass.
In the absence of contravening evidence then the assumption is that he was straight, just as he was ‘cis-gendered’, or human, or whatever the obvious statistical norm is.
This was then retconned once it was financially safe for Johnson to do so, and Blanc was transformed into a homosexual because Johnson’s woke cult dictates that you cannot have a straight white male hero.
Stop pretending you don’t already know this. Stop trying to gaslight people. It isn’t working.
First you’ll make a huge <i>sincere apology</i> for your obnoxious behaviour in this thread, then <i>beg</i> me to fetch the evidence… and I’ll consider doing so.
You’d like that I’m sure but I’m quite happy here speaking the truth here in <i>my</i> thread. You weren’t invited and you’ve made no worthwhile contributions so feel free to sod off on your own walk.
Unfortunately for you the mods will see that I was perfectly decent towards you until you started hurling abuse, ya nasty little shit.
Eh, no. Skinny little schoolgirls are weak af, they have no muscle mass. No way could one toss a full sized 40 year old woman across the room 🤣
<blockquote>I would have preferred something along the lines of while he's planning to execute her murder she'd been taking down murder mystery notes from that author and in the end gets him before he got her.</blockquote>
Exactly. The film needed an ending that drew on all the little hints we had been given along the way and then blown our minds with a surprising, yet in hindsight inevitable, twist. Something like how Psycho ended.
I too would have liked to see Lina win. Not only because she was adorable and innocent, but because she had been so suspicious throughout the film that emotion needed to climax somehow, the agonising pressure should have compelled her to taking decisive action.
Nah, the ending spoiled an otherwise good film. It needed to be something surprising but inevitable. It felt arbitrary and thrown in, not an ending that grew out of everything that had gone before.
The heart of the movie was Lina’s mounting <i>suspicion</i> about Johnnie, she needed to do something, like turn the tables on him - get him to drink some maybe-poisoned water, or make <i>him</i> suspicious somehow.
All kinds of hints were dropped. Was he going to shag the maid? Was the novelist in on his murder plans? Was Beaky? Did he murder her father? Seeds were being sown and some kind of gobsmacking revelation that brought all of these suspicions we the audience had together in a final twist would have been epic.
The original ending of her choosing to die would have been too tragic. She was so adorable and innocent, it was already like torturing a puppy for 90mins and to kill it would be too depressing. The happy ending felt unearned and tacked on. This needed a rewrite to really embed a deeper theme and have it expressed in a knockout ending.
Perhaps Hitch was too green at this point. I’d like to have seen older Hitch remake it without the studio and star constraints, and when he had matured into the master that gave us Psycho and Vertigo. That Hitch would have given us the wallop of an ending this film deserved.
Verhoeven will show you EVERYTHING.
You link to a CNBC article in which some skank launches yet another false accusation against Trump, while the Left are doing everything in their power to keep him from running again, and expect to be taken seriously? 🤣
Oh well, you were right about Cosby at least, he’s a rapist. Weinstein isn’t, he’s just a molester.
Either way, Verhoeven was smutting it up well before those two got active, even before he started making Hollywood movies. So if anything, he inspired <i>them</i>.
No.
Is it good? Everyone says it’s dreadful and the review scores are down the shitter.
Verhoeven was smutting it up well before Cosby and Weinstein started diddling. If anything they were inspired by <i>him</i>.
Who did Trump rape?
No, only Sarah is a ‘mouthy bitch’. Linda’s fine and Matt is just a normal, decent guy. If you detest normal, decent people that’s a <b>you</b> problem, not the film’s problem.
It didn’t make ‘us want them to die’ at all. <b>You</b> might want people to die for being in a normal, healthy relationship but most people don’t agree with you because they’re not psychopaths.
It’s no surprise that Verhoeven’s films are filled with smut, sexual perversion, and rape. No surprise.
Wrong. Their relationship made the already nuts Sebastian become insanely jealous, which is what tipped him over the edge into a full blown killer.
It also adds some more interesting dynamics so we’re not just watching a bunch of colleagues get slaughtered, a love triangle complicates things, and the stakes are higher when a loved one could get iced.
🤣 Yep. Not untrue but way off-topic.
It’s baffling. They’re perfectly decent protagonists, who cares that they’re fucking? Is being in a relationship evil now?? 🤷🏻♂️
