Huh! We are as one in our bet and our shock.
Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Kubrick was probably thinking, "Hey, I think I'll try out this wacky ending! If it doesn't work, I can just blame Spielberg."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Kubrick was probably thinking, "Hey, I think I'll try out this wacky ending! If it doesn't work, I can just blame Spielberg."
And then he went and died, and everybody blamed Spielberg right on schedule and he wasn't around to correct them! Well played, Mister Kubrick, well played indeed. Except for the whole dying part.

I bet Kubrick convinced George Lucas that what The Phantom Menace needed was Jar Jar....

Yeah, the ending of AI was Kubrick's idea. But then, he'd spent 20 years fussing over various versions of the script and still wasn't happy with it. And the rest of the Spielberg script was based on a treatment that Kubrick had rejected 10 years earlier.

Nah, that was Scott Baio.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I remember some discussion of an ending where they don't tell David that she'll disappear, and then she does and David is shocked...or something like that.
Also t stands by P-C

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yeah, the ending of AI was Kubrick's idea.
And what's Rueben Stoddard doing now? Nothing that's what. Effing Kubrick.

Have I been under a rock that I didn't realize there is a new Robin Hood coming out?
