Instant-death stabbing (regardless of location) is one of my peeves, but more so, the bullshit ending.<BR/><BR/>Nothing quite makes me slap my forehead over how, three months after the killings (which started with a phone call right at midnight), our heroes think life is back to normal... only THEN--<BR/><BR/>12:00am--<BR/>RRRRIIIING.<BR/><BR/>NO. Augh. NO.<BR/>That's not edgy. That's cheating. A movie is something that must have payoff: it's like a romance. If you change genres, it shows how bad it is: imagine you went to watch a flick where the guy is trying to get the girl. You spend 2 hours in the movie theater watching this man do EVERYTHING to win her love. FINALLY, true love's kiss! HELL YEAH--<BR/><BR/>And then you get a cut over:<BR/>"3 months later, they divorced."<BR/><BR/>I'M IN DESPAIR. THIS SORT OF MOVIE ENDING HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063879040422407463.post-2653796187567308692008-12-21T05:15:00.000-08:002008-12-21T05:15:00.000-08:00Keep the complaints comin'! If there's anything I...Keep the complaints comin'! If there's anything I enjoy hearing, from a TRUE Horror movie fan, (Not one of those casual PG-13 Horror fans.), it's some hearty conversating about things that bug them about our favorite genre. <BR/><BR/>Probably out of the complaints you've registered, I particularly latched on to two items. Namely the shit-ending and the shit-boyfriend points. Look, I'm not saying the Horror genre has to have a nicely tidy "happy ending" to satisfy my viewing experience. (In fact, the happy end to "Mother of Tears" was almost a bit TOO schmaltzy, compared to the rest of the movie.) But if a director insists on a downer ending, it HAS to make some sense. You can't just tack on a remainder of the threat you THOUGHT was destroyed, just for the hell of it. It just makes what could have been an enjoyable movie experience into a "What the FAAACK?!?" exit. <BR/><BR/>As for the stereotypical asshole boyfriends in movies, I'm only just against them because they get WAY more women action than I do. Yeesh! Even in fiction, nice guys get their asses kicked in the dating department!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
