And it's just a bad movie in general, so be warned if you dare bother with it.<BR/><BR/>Why is it there's more examples of poorly done plot twists then good ones?The Monkey Rodeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411022400011274794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34496979.post-25849416641746578152008-12-05T05:09:00.000-04:002008-12-05T05:09:00.000-04:00ANDREW:You have to watch Sleepaway Camp for a WTF ...ANDREW:<BR/><BR/>You have to watch Sleepaway Camp for a WTF ending. <BR/>The Village was utterly pathetic and obvious from the beginning. <BR/>The Usual Suspects and Fight Club were amongst the few that caught me off-guard, but I'm still looking for the perfect twist...Everything seems to revolve around time discrepancies,aliens, seeing or being dead people,or a events told by a unreliable narrator...they have to be creative, if not, the should stick with a normal ending, for christ's sake!<BR/><BR/>I REALLY don't want to see the "It was all a dream" cheap trick ever again!!!<BR/>That's robbing people's time and a perfect excuse to explain inconsistencies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34496979.post-49104592890144160722008-08-09T21:20:00.000-03:002008-08-09T21:20:00.000-03:00I couldn't agree more. Just hearing someone say, ...I couldn't agree more. Just hearing someone say, "you'll never guess the twist in this one!" ruins the movie for me. I try to just watch the movie, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking, "Okay, so how could this be all very different from what were being led to believe....?"<BR/><BR/>And then I think of it. Wasn't surprised by the Sixth Sense nor The Village. Hell, even way back in the 90s I figured the "girl" in The Crying Game was a guy. Not fun. And you hit it on the head--I wouldn't have figured any of those out without all the pre-film hype about "utterly shocking twists!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945225927949838470noreply@blogger.com
