| The way it was wrapped up did so nicely without pandering at all: the boat arrives, which was the entire goal of the characters' little adventure through Warzone City, and fade to black. Eerie sounds of hope. The end. |
Yeah, I was totally satisfied.
The bleaker ending would have been interesting to see though. I would have felt really sympathetic for Kee, because I really like her as a character. I mean, just leaving her alone on a boat with the dead hero would have broken my heart a little. It would have been really memorable, for me at least. Just an ending full of despair and bleakness. It would have been awesome. Like the end of Sympathy for Mr. Venegance.
I woulda been like "aww, poor Kee. I hope she's okay" all in the middle of the night and shit.
But no, I really like the current ending! Seriously!
Also, Grindhouse is coming out this Friday. I'm looking forward to it. A lot!

| Just watched Stranger Than Fiction, and it was fantastic. Probably a very SELECTBUTTON kind of movie! |
I think Stranger Than Fiction might be my favorite movie of last year. I saw it on a plane again recently, and cried during the, "you're asking me to knowingly face my certain death," scene with Hoffman and Farrell.
That scene kicks me in the stomach.
Also: Tim, I love your avatar. It's great. |
Thanks!
I usually can't stand Will Ferrell but he was really likable in StF. Maybe he'll do the whole Adam Sandler/Jim Carrey thing and start taking more serious roles. It's interesting when that happens; they play a subdued, maybe depressed role, but they still retain traces of their wild and crazy selves that made them famous in the first place.
Michel Gondry said that he wanted Jim Carrey for the lead role in Eternal Sunshine because he had seen him in In Living Color. But not for "Fire Marshall Bill" or anything like that. It's because at the end credits of every episode, Gondry would notice all the cast members - Tommy Davidson, Damon Wayans, Kim Wayans, etc - "hip hop dancing,"
and Jim Carrey was always nervously standing there behind the crowd, looking really self-conscious. |

| I've been hearing good things about the The Crazies remake. Anyone here seen it? I might just consider it on Tuesday when tickets are cheapest. |
I saw it last night! It was rollicking good fun and had lots of good tense moments, although they kind of overdid it with the jump scares. Way too many and not all (any?) of them were necessary. Either way, it's one of the best zombie/whatever type movies I've seen.
I was satisfied with the ending too, though I haven't seen the original.
