Sure, Jan. You know what they say about people who have to resort to name calling!
No, I'm neither. Care to refute my OP?
$99,000,000 for this movie is f'ing absurd. But I spotted at least one of the reasons during the end credits! They hired Kristen Chenoweth to voice Fifi WHO DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANY SPOKEN DIALOGUE! If that wasn't a flying waste of money then I don't know what is.
I found it so corny I nearly rolled my eyes.
This movie wore out its welcome for me after about the first half. It became very repetitive and was clearly being streeeeeeeeetched out in order to get to that 90-minute mark! This was made even more obvious by the THIRTEEN-MINUTE-LONG credit sequence! Absurd.
Wow...you make a lot of great observations that I either hadn't considered or didn't notice! I really enjoy reading your posts. Thank you!
Interesting take. It never crossed my mind while watching this that David had BPD. But now that you mention it, I do see some of the signs! I'd just chalked it up to the filmmaker turning David's personality traits 'up' a few notches for the sake of the movie. I mean, David's mother was the exact same way. She was extremely quick to ingratiate herself to Alex and then just as quick to cut him off.
You have a very pragmatic take on dealing with BPD. I'm assuming you either have first-hand experience with it or are a counselor of some sort?
Also what did you think of the ending where Alex rides off into the sunset with a new guy? I wasn't crazy about it because to me it sort of insinuated that people are replaceable. If one dies, you just dance on his grave and then move on! A bit of an odd thing coming from Alex's character.
Yea, this movie certainly demands complete & utter suspension of belief.
Okay but she's still skipping school while out driving around and fuming about Ferris doing...the same exact thing.
I meant in the movie.
I'm more interested in the logistics of how exactly dude managed to swing a fucking axe at her hand and only chopped off her index finger. Huh?
I never said he killed anyone? I said he threw a perfectly good gun into the river which makes no sense. Who does that?
She's not that crazy.
I'm a guy.
Another negative: The colorful parts (which is what I think of when I think of Willy Wonka) are very short-lived. Most of the movie is dark and dull.
Also idk that TC was the best casting decision. Every time he'd attempt comedic humor I'd cringe a bit.
I actually thought Steven Weber was one of the better actors in this! His love interest (Steven) had the acting chops of a porn performer. Terribly wooden and 2-dimensional, bordering on cringe.
I'm pretty sure those life support machines keep a record of everything and "tattle" if anything goes awry. Anyone checking the diagnostics should see it was tampered with and/or experienced sudden suspicious behavior. Not to mention, Oliver would've had to put the tubing back into her airway the exact same way it was before and that's highly unlikely given he had no medical training and had RIPPED that thing right out of her along with all of its peripherals.
She looked fine but played her character as being a bit masculine which detracted.
I was waiting for him to cough up the hairball afterward.
That was small?? Red Rover, Red Rover, send him on OVER!!!
