I'm so confused. I am desperate to know what was Kubrick and what was the S-man. first i'd like to warn anyone going out to see this that if you want to have a good time LEAVE WHEN YOU THINK IT'S OVER. (hint:"we are in a cage, David") because after that, there's no turning back. You are about to whitness the most incoherant thing ever filmed. See, it had a perfectly good ending, ..... then they added on another half hour of the biggest, useless, nuttiest crack dream i've ever seen. Don't turn back. Run. I wish they kept Joe the way he was rumoured to be in Kubrick's treatment, which was considered too dark and perverse to keep in for rating reasons. Joe had potential. Joe was reeaal good. Teddy is good too. i have few comments about this movie. Only questions. |
Mr.Cranky says: Having Steven Spielberg take over a Stanley Kubrick film is sort of like letting Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, raise the Wicked Witch of the West's kids. Glinda is constantly dressing up those bratty little bastards to look nice and teaching them how to act nice, but at their core, they're just nasty. that's about it. For all the sunlight, it was a dark thing. Very dark. |
I Love Kubrick's fucked up shit. Full Metal Jacket, The Shining, Dr Strangelove, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, have not seen Lolita or Spartacus yet, and have no desire to see Eyes Wide Shut |
|
no really....ever. that is was way too long, and just too stupid. kubrick was known for his long winded movies, but they worked. i heard this failed, that people were actually laughing at it in the theater. speilberg is a schmuck, and should never be touching kubrick's work, fucking vulture. |
People were laughing in the theater at AI, it’s true. Don’t go to see a good movie, go to see potential. Real amazing potential, the interpretation of someone else’s dream. I look forward to renting it later on and seeing what new things i can get out of it. It’s a mystery, a very strange project. I still don’t know what i think. |
Also see it if you like Jude Law, he did well. One person I went with cried at the movie and said it was deep and thought-provoking, but that's because she's a moron and thought that saying such things would make her seem intelligent. |
Jude Law is a handsome man. |
|
man that was an awesome movie. Hated him in the Tallented Mr Ripley |
|
|
I have a feeling it is one that will added to my collection. i bet it is better then pearl harbor |
one that snuck by me. I didn't even know about it until it was rentable. There aren't many movies that i dislike... I tend to find some good quality in a movie and hold onto that... But I didn't like Mr. Ripley. Haven't seen AI yet. |
|
well, not like I was going to see that movie anyway. Saw Snatch last night. I enjoyed it. Much better than I thought, and I didn't lose track of all the characters like I thought I might. |
I think there was supposed to be a progression from killing someone by accident to killing someone out of necessity to killing someone for the hell of it. That last guy *was* the last person who had any ties to the goings-on of the past, but he was good. I liked him. He spoke Italian pretty well, too. |

teddy should have been the scariest thing in the world, but somehow it wasn't. less scary even than snuggles. fucking aliens find him. ALIENS. or advanced robot people or whatever the fuck. jesus. it dropped every real issue just after it was introduced and carried ridiculous bullshit idiotic speculation of the universe on and on. spoken by 'aliens' of course. |
|
that's just rude. |
The alien crap at the end was total bullshit. I love Kubrick. And I think Spielberg has done a great job with some of his movies too...but the two just shouldn't be mixed. It's like taking 3 shots of tequilla and then eating a jar of mayonaise face first. |
|
Skooter, face it. The movie fell flat on its face because Speilberg is a fucking wuss. He makes some good movies, but he never wants to kick you in the balls. Kubrick lived for kicking you in the balls. I'm going to go see Jurassic Park 3 this week. All the critics can just shut up about it because no one is going for any other reason than to watch dinosaurs eat people. There aren't enough movies out there where people get eaten. I think AI would have been much better, for example, if when David was falling into the water, a big ol' mosasaurus leapt up and gulped him down. I would have stood up and applauded. |
But the end being as cheesy as it was actually fits into the whole movie. It was a fairy tale, and David was trying to live out a fairy tale, so it only makes sense that the creatures would provide that. |
thanks for ruining it for those of us who didnt see it. fucknuts |
there is no way that anything i could say would ruin it more than the actual experience |
Plus, Ministry's in it. |
maybe they'll make a director's cut with all the voice overs taken out. oh wait, no, the director's dead. sorry. |
also, Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy is also dead. |
|
YOU PROBABLY ARE. ONE. |
