Of course, everyone knows that the real story of Trey's life can be found in the film Die Hard.

Can we have a : holden : type thing that inserts a picture of the Orson Welles clap? I think it would be very applicable to a variety of situations.

You know, I heard that Holden once brought down an entire race of villainous space-slugs with nothing but a laptop and his wits.

I dunno if this is just because it came out so recently, but the first one that comes to mind is Milk.

Finally, someone who agrees with me about that movie! Everyone I talk to about it seems to hate it, which baffles me.

He also made Benjamin Button, which I like a lot.

So, a good movie and a bad movie! I like Brick, but Winter's Bone was repetitive and dull. But both of them are great DiF movies.

His username is "HACK_Nolan". I'm guessing troll.

EDIT: He clearly doesn't know a whole heck of a lot about filmmaking. "I didn't like that film they did. Clearly it's because they're a bad director, and not for the millions of other reasons why a film could be bad. Also, anyone who thinks that Trey Parker and Matt Stone aren't good is clearly a dumbass.

FURTHER EDIT: "Don't try to act all tough and knowledgeable about movies, because you fail every time." That sentence is so dense with irony that it could pull a space station out of orbit.

/not my cake

Yes, but if "Vader duels Luke and chops off his hand" was cut out entirely, the story wouldn't make sense. If the Paris sequence in G.I. Joe was removed, the story would not suffer at all. You could cut the Vader fight and just have Luke explain it later, but it's the climactic moment of that film, and it is essential, unlike the entire Paris scene.

***SPOILER ALERT***

No, I agree with you there. Tons of happy endings work without cheese. But in the context of everything that came before it, this ending didn't for me. And this one was definitely forced. When your ending requires you to invent some completely new sci-fi bullshit to justify it being optimistic, don't do that ending. The movie was totally uncomfortable with allowing its main character to die a happy death, even when the audience wasn't. I may be a cynic, but I thought the movie was cynical as well. In that way, the ending was a total cop-out.

EDIT: And even if I did buy that absurd "alternate universes" crap, the ending raises dozens of questions that it refuses to answer in favor of watching our hero walk happily into the sunset (in someone else's body, by the way. I guess there's no room for that poor guy in this brave new world!)

Terrible ending, but the rest of the film was brilliant.
