Two versions, one literal and one more figurative: Literal version: Back in 1988, a 16 year old schizophrenic teenage boy literally prevents the world from ending...and nobody except him realizes that he has. Figurative version: 16 year old schizophrenic teenage boy lives a fantasy/dream in his head right before he meets his death...it feels like a month long experience to him, but in reality it's only about 30 seconds in length. WHOA  I might have to check that out. Since it was always hyped I never made a point to check it out. So basically, in the figurative version, the movie is like his life flashing before his eyes?[Edited 2/16/06 0:44am] One of Dansa's org hornies

[Edited 2/16/06 0:44am] If you've ever read "Occurrance (sp?) at Owl Creek Bridge" (or saw the Twilight Zone episode based on that short story), then the figurative version is a lot like that...  | |

I really, really tried with Desperate Housewives - I really did. yeah, i have that issue too, and i'm sure it has as much to do with me as it has to do with the value of the thing being hyped. i just have a feeling that the more something is hyped, the less of it there is to discover. and that leads to me thinking it'll just be boring and predictable. i feel exactly the same way like all this fuss and too-rah over "cutlery" i mean what's up with that? like we NEED forks and spoons to eat with. that's what fingers are for | |

i don't belong here. I liked 'Brokeback Mountain', Harry Potter, Desperate Housewives and Monty Python. not because anybody or anything said i should (other people, media etc..) but because they are of interest to me personally. i think its great that people have the right to choose what they watch, read and like. its all a matter of personal opinion. you're only as old as you feel..............so how old do i feel 
Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants. | |

JPW said: exactly. to like what someone else likes simply cause THEY like it reminds me of kids...it's all subjective, ya know?
. [Edited 2/16/06 18:42pm] i know. i like stuff cause I LIKE STUFF. not because the media says its great or because 3 million other people like it...but because the story/picture/whatever touches me or relates to me somehow. you're only as old as you feel..............so how old do i feel

charlottegelin said: Justin1972UK said: Oh yeah! I hate the way that people attach an importance to the movies as if they're a deeply enlightening quasi-mystical life-lesson. I'd also apply this to The Shawshank Redemption and Donnie Darko. just cause donnie darko did not make sense does not mean it has some deep meaning (though I am crazy about Lost Highway, which makes no sense whatsoever)Actually I thought Donnie Darko made perfect sense.

I loved that movie, but I did not try to understand it, just went along for the ride. | |

'Friends'
'Kill Bill' and within the same range 'Crouching tiger, hidden dragon' Queen and I prefer Fawlty Towers over Monthy Python | |

only the Monty Python movies make me laugh now. I was obsessed with the TV show and Fawlty Towers as a kid, but I just can't laugh at those anymore, with a couple of exceptions. Fawlty Towers is certainly overrated by those people who hail it as the best sitcom of all time  | |

It's easier to understand the hype if you've read the book or seen the movie...etc. Like people who say, they just don't GET Prince, but havn't heard any of his music. | |

I like certain things. Other people like other things. I don't think that people that don't like the things I like are stupid.

Unless, of course, it is Harry Potter books, Lost, Desperate Housewives, 24, Pop Idol, Monty Python, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Gangsta Rap or Sudoku. 
Anyways. So. Can I show you my collection of hand puppets now? | |
