It was a decent movie. Some of the twists at the end seemed a little forced, like Lillian needing Annie at the end and Rhodes just sort of showing up at the end. I would have rather watched Annie get her shit together which is still up in the air at the end of the movie.
I enjoyed Ewan's monologue contrasting the plenty of Alaska to where they had just come from in Siberia and Mongolia. It's hard when you are surrounded by so much commercial and resource availability to imagine it not being there.
For some reason I kept thinking the movie was a giant metaphor for student loans.
The lead gal had some awesome leg form. I wonder how they've held up in 2023.
I'd probably sample Charlotte's.
Maybe I am confused, but I thought the fax was like from his kids or something.
Nice job. I definitely agree it was nice to see no CGI action one scene after another.
It's not racist. It is a movie made from a realistic American perspective where part of the movie is about trying to navigate in a country where many people do not speak English. I would take no issue in a movie where a Japanese man came to America and had a confused look on his face while dealing with a mysterious language (English) and stereotypically American culture.
And you don't have to be Japanese to decide if something is racist towards people with Japanese heritage. You can still have an opinion about right and wrong and make some best guesses about what is not appropriate. I doubt all Japanese people 100% agree with each other what is racist towards them anyhow.
I'm sure that is what they were going for. It was quite one-sided on purpose then, as there are many benefits to a life of daily routine while certainly not as rigid as depicted in the film. But it would not have been interesting to watch then.
Wherever Tom and Gemma were, their only purpose was to keep the creature alive until it could leave the nest. "Release" in the creature's terms meant death. The food they ate and even the air they breathed was not meant to sustain them in the long-term.
This is true. They could have made this into a solid 30 minute Twilight Zone episode.
Was there a deeper meaning to this movie, or was it just watching Frances float around for a bit? If that is all it was, then I guess it was ok.
I guess I do not try to count the number of people of each race in a movie. Sounds like a fun hobby. Maybe I will pick that up.
I think she would make a better fwb
I agree, too many coincidences to give this more than 6/10.
I have to mostly agree there is little these kids were saying that 13-year-olds in the 80s weren't saying. As for doing, hell, Bart Simpson worked at a burlesque house in one episode. I think I even walked into a couple bars on lingerie night back in the day without anyone noticing.
The primary thing that was weird for me though was why was the kid sitting there watching the porno with an adult? Maybe I need to go back and rewatch the scene as I can't recall the context at the moment.
I liked it. Sad to see the bureaucracy win.
Got it, so the deception trumps her consent. In the end you're right, Louis got lucky. Not with Betty (well he did), but with Betty's reaction to the deception. They probably shouldn't have installed those spy cameras either, but that's for another thread.
I did laugh when they were having their angry who could jerk off more contest.
Yeah pretty much around the time The Real World kicked off and they started moving away from music videos. VH1 followed them not too long after. Even CMT went the same route. I just use Youtube now to watch new music videos.
