Films That Teach Stupidity


Intelligent viewers can be entertained by films like this, but they rarely give them high ratings. This script was so lame it insulted the intellect of people who live in reality. This woman would not have been charged with murder under all the circumstances they presented. Total ridiculousness.

We turned it off after about 1/2 an hr pretty bad and very slow moving.
JUNK!

We? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? Form an opinion after you(and your mouse) finish the whole movie.

WE is the wife and I didn't line it so "I" turned it off.
No reason for you to insult anyone.
AND No reason to watch something that's a bore

That guy obnoxiously insults you and than doesn't post an opinion about the movie himself. Strange.

Well sometimes you just ignore people like that and they go away, far away and one hopes soon

I started watching this movie out of lack of anything else early in the morning while drinking my wake-up coffee. Halfway through I did actually feel like my intelligence was being insulted, but I stayed on board just to see the ending. Can't say it surprised me; it ended exactly how I imagined it would after watching the first 15 minutes of it.

My husband thinks I have this incredible, unique power to figure out how movies are going to go after only watching for a short period of time. I usually say, "let me guess...it's going to end like insert one of only 3 possible typical endings here." I can also usually guess "who did it" at least halfway through a movie. It's no secret power, I think I am just (unintentionally) really perceptive of the small things going on because the general storyline is boring, and usually a hack. There are only so many ways a story can end, even with a "twist" ending, and at this point, twist endings have all been done & are easily predictable, too. I am always really surprised when am movie catches me even slightly off-guard these days. One of the ones that did that just recently was "My Joy."

I have ADD and I think because I get bored so easily, it enables me to look even closer at the details of a movie. I don't do it on purpose, my attention just starts focusing on other (little) things because I'm so un-captivated by the plot &/or characters. If you look too closely, you begin to see the fabric rather than the whole sheet, and things start to unravel. I wish I wasn't like that, but I can't help it. In a lot of movies I always spot the goof-ups (cigarettes changing length during the same scene always bug me) & inconsistencies. I wish when I was younger, there was a way to have gotten into forensic science easier...I think my "powers" would have been well-applied.

Err, back on-subject, yeah everything about "Borderline" was friggin predictable. And when you think about it, NO borderline personality disorder psycho would every concoct such a twisted plot that far ahead of time, especially people who see things in such a "mental fog" as the bad guy in this movie is shown to be in. People who really commit murder are almost never that clever, in fact people who commit murder usually lack the forethought to consider the repercussions of their act, they react spontaneously and live more in the immediate present than "normal" people. They often lack the ability to consider (or care) about the possible later outcome of their present actions. I forget what part of the brain controls that, but it's up front, and typically guys have less of it than women, and it's almost completely lacking in serial killers & murder spree perpetrators.
