I think you should listen to the commentary, Alicia. The way it was explained, I don't see how they would have been able to do it the way you wanted. However, I do have to say that I was completely expecting him to just leave, go back to LA and never see Sam again.
Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I can't wait to watch Garden State with commentary. The hairs on the back of my neck still stand up when 'Let Go' starts.
Signed,
I have an abnormal, deep, and entirely too emotional connection to this movie.
Oops, too late. My copy of Garden State is already on its way back to Netflix. Alas. I'll take your guys' word for it.
I saw The Life Aquatic on NYE, and I muchly liked it, if I did find it a little rambling. It has many great moments, and I thought the acting was all great.
I saw The Life Aquatic last night. Loved it. Funny and sad. I loved how Steve Zizou was utterly honest all the way through it, even when it made him look bad.
Watching Garden State with the roomie now. She isn't loving it.
Cereal:
I don't care. Third time, and I still get full out chills when the song starts.
That's a character whose best accessory is a ball gag.
Really, are there any Ryan Reynolds characters that's not true of?
I haven't seen any of his other stuff. Though I'll probably be seeing the new Amityville Horror when it comes out. The lad does look much better with a beard.
Wheeee! I just got back from seeing Phantom of the Opera, and it was everything I had hoped it would be. Yes, gloriously overblown, bombastic cheese with wall-to-wall pretty costumes and set design. I want a copy on DVD now, because when I'm tired and cranky and just want to watch something overwhelmingly pretty and with a silly plot, Phantom will be the perfect thing to watch. (Phantom trumps Moulin Rouge in that regard for me, because I still get emotionally manipulated by MR and cry during parts of it. Phantom, however, just makes me go oooh, pretty! and giggle a lot.)
