Yay! Thank you! This is great, as it uses the same formatting code as IMDb, it's like continuing where we left off.
Jim, you're the greatest!!!!!!!
Same in the UK -- there's an early-retired cop in my building. Now he's lording it over us as if he's still a cop. . .
I agree -- King of Queens could be quite funny, well written, etc, so I gave this show a chance based on that.
It's CRAP.
And once again you have the guy who looks like him married to the gal who looks like her -- I'm not saying that doesn't happen, but when you KEEP ON being in sitcoms where you chose to have the hot wife and the schlub, sorry, not buying it again.
At least I don't have to add this to my list of time wasters.
As a woman I do actually find Miles Teller more attractive than Zac Efron, yes!
I don't care much for "pretty boy" looks -- I fell for that when I was a very young girl but later in life I'm drawn to the more interesting looking man with more of a personality. I find Miles's looks interesting and attractive. Zac doesn't do anything for me.
It's not all that unrealistic. In real life most people in the western hemisphere do try to wear all-black for a funeral.
I'm not saying there won't be someone in a grey suit or navy blue dress because that's all they have. But most people do try to find or borrow black clothing. Men may not find all the items in their closet, but many women would already have black outfits --- because it's slimming and they may wear it for regular clothing too.
Also, many funerals we see in many movies tend to be in a comfortably-off family, and movie characters with money can afford to go out and buy a black outfit even if they think they'll never be at another funeral -- though in a normal life they will. These characters seemed quite well-off for money and if anyone didn't have it in their closet they could buy it.
When my parents died I had no problem wearing all-black as I'd been into black clothes, first for Goth reasons, then because it was slimming.
I have no problem enjoying foreign language/foreign made films, but I have to say I feel most at home with American made movies.
Like it's fun to eat other cuisines but there's something about coming home to home cooked you were raised with.
That's a good point actually -- in real life I hear those cars are basically bullet proof. Quinn actually should not have been shot at all. . . .
Perhaps it's only the official presidential car that's fully protected against gunfire, but Carrie, Keane and Quinn had to get into one of the "lesser" cars for members of staff, and it wasn't built to withstand the firepower?
Emmy, Golden Globe, the works! An incredible performance.
I hated that they killed off Quinn, but even worse than that, I hated how rushed the episode felt, flashing forward several weeks, Quinn's already buried, and we never even got to see that memorial service as a scene in the show, after everything Quinn as a character was to this show.
Shame on the writers. His character deserved better than that. And Carrie having very little grief, just one moment of breaking down over the photos. Carrie's a cryer -- we should have seen her feel the loss way more deeply than this, after everything Quinn has meant to her over all these years.
Just sheer will to hang on as long as he could, I think. He knew he had to just stay upright and keep driving even though he was bleeding-out. He was determined not to succumb before he got them out of there.
Brilliant acting and also kudos to the makeup artists who helped give the impression physically.
I agree, we've now lost the second truly interesting, vital character who leaves a vacuum in the show. First Brody, now Quinn. I was very sorrowful to see him go.
They kept going out there to wander because they didn't believe the lead girl, at least for for a while initially. They all spent a lot of time dismissing her claims as the ravings of a mentally ill girl; therefore they still went walking around.
And also the 1972 Hammer movie "Tales From the Crypt," where a group of strangers get locked in together and have to face their pasts. I liked the way this made me feel like it was almost a modern take on that old movie.
I've just now seen this, and I would say it's worth watching, yes. I like how it reminded me of old Hammer "moral tale" movies.
Thanks for everything you're doing here Jim; it's amazing to have the IMDb board content here.
The Sixth Sense.
The twist was spoiled for me by, of all places, an item about something else, which mentioned the twist in passing, in Entertainment Weekly magazine. Even though it was a couple of months after release and they probably thought everyone knew by then, still I was pissed off.
I had tried to forget but couldn't when I saw the movie in theaters. I know people say "Oh come on it was obvious as soon as {spoiler, spoiler happened}, I knew it all along."
But honestly I know how I watch a movie, and I'm really good at *not* guessing stuff like twists. The joy of the revelation is fun for me that way.
Still, it's a good movie anyway even when the twist is no longer news for you. But I would have loved to have been one of the earlier viewers who never saw it coming.
Old thread archived from IMDb but what the hell, I'll reply -- I enjoyed this, and totally expected to find out it had been or is an ongoing TV series. I'm quite disappointed to find out that it never was picked up.
I think the settings and the characters could have been rich pickings for some good storylines and continuing crime and drama.
I really liked it too; I'm surprised to see it getting such a bashing on here. I found it atmospheric and compelling.
Yep, I kind of think nesting is the only sensible way for forum posts to be, but I guess people have their reasons for seeming to prefer in-line -- I can't fathom why! But I guess having options would help give everyone their choice.
I really like nest though, so I'm happy with what MovieChat has here.
