]The irony of the fact that PSH's character was worried that he would die through the whole picture and outlived almost everyone[/B] is great. It doesn't matter. These are just opinions. I could spend all day explaining to Bread why Bud Light is awful. But at the end of the day, he'll still drink 10-22 of them.

It's cool to exchange ideas, but lots of people will still go see the new Twilight movie with a couple gay vampires and a bunch of CGI instead of going to see something that could change them. At least for a little while.

I gotta see this Paris, Texas movie apparently.

that's a good point.

In fact all of you guys are like fucking master movie critics.
 
no sarcasm. I remember that character having some terrible physical sickness. And as I watched I expected it to be the center of the plot.
It never really was, and I didn't know what to make of it.
Your take on it seems pretty good.
 
I also don't care for Bud light. If Bread makes it down here he can have all the Busch Light some guy left here. Been sitting here for months.

And yeah, I don't watch many movies, I prefer ones that have something to say. I'm annoyed at movies that throw numerous interesting themes together but fail to ultimately resolve them in any meaningful way.
 
Damn, my superpower failed. It was the ultimate irony that he survived everyone else in the film after having such horrible medical problems.

Every time those parts come and go in the film I always think I am missing some other point they are trying to make

I'm sure there are plenty of movies we'd agree on. I think Eyes Wide Shut is excellent.

wtf? are you serious?
That's that movie which I saw once and didn't know the name of it, or what the fuck was going on. This guy keeps running around, for no apparent reason, trying to get himself in trouble with some secret society of masked men.

And then of course there's some girl that's in trouble. and he sacrifices himself to free her.
Looks like a bunch of overly dramatized nothingness.

Agreed. I hated that movie. I also didn't care much for Synecdoche either. If I don't care about the characters, it's not a good movie to me. And just because you have to rack your brain to search for meaning in a film, doesn't make it art to me. I don't like David Lynch movies. I don't like Charlie Kaufman movies. I don't like much of anything from the avant garde genre. I didn't like Maya Deren or Stan Brakhage movies from the 50's and 60's either. Give me a story with identifiable emotions that makes a statement over a story that runs itself in circles any day.

I really didn't get irony out of those parts at all. All I got from them was a statement of the hypochondriasis that pharmaceuticals and the media attempt to place on us.
 
And that's all good. Love SPR and like the other 2 as well. But my God SPR is one of the most heartfelt movies I've ever seen. I almost vomited during the first 20 mins at the theater. What an amazing movie.
