53. Frailty

I enjoyed the first two thirds of it, but I can't pretend it isn't stupid.

52. Falling Down

HI DERE, Friday, 7 September 2007 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link

Michael Douglas was a serial killer in that? I thought he just threatened people.

something that has actually happened is by definition more probable than something that never has

wtf with logic 101 over here...

Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 7 September 2007 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link

I never saw it, I am making spurious assumptions.

HI DERE, Friday, 7 September 2007 21:33 (sixteen years ago) link

I think pretending that serial killers as they exist IRL and serial killers as they are portrayed in cinema are on the same level of improbability is wilfully naive.

Wow, somehow you just managed to be wrong according to both logic and math in a single sentence. I'm impressed.

It's amazing how much of Falling Down is a mediocre Robert Duvall vehicle when the ads were all THIS WHITE MAN'S MAD AS HELL AND NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE. But then Robert Duvall vehicles don't really sell.

gabbneb, Friday, 7 September 2007 21:40 (sixteen years ago) link

latebloomer see my comment upthread re: slasher movies... I'm talkin about a specific kind of serial killer film portrayal - where the killer is some kind of crazy genius playing intricate games and killing people in incredibly convoluted ways all because of some grand design the killer has.

Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 7 September 2007 21:40 (sixteen years ago) link

(I guess that would include some slasher movies but it excludes quite a lot)

Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 7 September 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link

42 - 1. Identity

latebloomer, Friday, 7 September 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Alex in SF, Friday, 7 September 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Donald Kaufman: Listen, I need a cool way to kill people. Don't worry, for my script.
Charlie Kaufman: I don't know that kind of stuff.
Donald Kaufman: Oh, come on, man, please? You're the genius.
Charlie Kaufman: Here you go. The killer's a literature professor. He cuts off little chunks from his victims' bodies until they die. He calls himself "the deconstructionist".

Identity was cool, except for the twist.

milo z, Friday, 7 September 2007 21:44 (sixteen years ago) link

As I remember PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, it's so silly that it's obvious that it's a fairy story.

Soukesian, Friday, 7 September 2007 21:45 (sixteen years ago) link

Re: "Identity", If you're going to do that type of twist, though, that's about the only way you can do it.
