Yeah. And then have the characters stand around, not sure what to do. (Except that territory has already been mined by Pirandello.)
And of course, Aruthur and his men being saved when the animator dies of a heart attack.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Mikey, I hear great things about Ong Bak and am definitely going to give it a go.
Oddly enough, The Protector, in retrospect, is making me appreciate Crank more than I did at the time. Not sure what that means except that I like my freaky, violent, jump cut/hallucinatory/chase-y cinema with a bit more humor and a few less endangered haffalumps .

In Reversal of Fortune, the narrator's brain-dead, but she does technically survive the movie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh gawd. Now I'm imagining movie narration along the lines of Terri Schiavo's Blog....

She's also the ghostwriter for Ann Coulter, I bet....

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and FULL METAL JACKET both have surviving narrators (Kubrick had other narrated films, but they were 3rd-person omniscient ones).
As does APOCALYPSE NOW.
Oh, TAXI DRIVER, GOODFELLAS and MEAN STREETS too (although that last one only has it near the beginning).
