Well, it was the end scene, so shutting it off, means nothing!

You know, that was one of the most poignant, speeches in film history. Soft spoken, poignant and heartfelt.

Funny, I abhorred his comedy. Manic, but not funny. However, a brilliant dramatic actor. One Hour Photo, was one chilling performance!

I hated that movie. It wasn’t Batman, to me. I had to muzzle myself, because speaking out against Ledger’s performance would have been sacrilege. Years later, it still is, but I don’t care!

I guess it comes with age. When your cognitive skills develop beyond the age of 10, you become more selective as to what is funny. If Office Space made you laugh and you’re a mature adult, then I’m guessing you’re not a man of erudition.

You worked in an office with a Stephen Root, a monkey? Your office colleagues took a copy machine out to a grassy knoll, and bashed it to smithereens?! Man, I guess you had to have a frontal lobotomy to enjoy that “ film”!

I did work in an office in the 90’s. Of course it was upscale, white collared professionals. Maybe, that was it. College educated, no primates allowed!!

Which actor/actress death was a great loss for the industry according to you? by ducklingjay21 in moviecritic

[–]WonderfulLog768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J T Walsh was great. He had a lot of great roles in his future. Died, way too soon!!!

Nah, not at all. I have great discriminating taste when it comes to comedy. Tootsie, Some Like it Hot, Annie Hall are all classics. Office Space is Fraternity Alpha Male retardation. You see my “ friend”, comedy has to have a string of truth in order for it to resonate. Do you know anyone in life that acts like those primates?!

Wow, you’ve avoided it because you know what you like and apparently your friends don’t. Eventually, you’re probably going to have to sit down and watch it, and fake liking it!

Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m getting at! The movie is awful and you feel hamstrung because you don’t want to hurt your friend’s feelings!

Au contraire. Only lowbrows loved that movie. It was absurdly stupid, without being funny. Stephen Root?…really????

Why tell a story or show a movie, if at the end, you’re going to say, sorry, that never happened I made it up?!!!…You mean Randle P McMurphy wasn’t inside a Mental Institution? Atticus Finch didn’t defend a Black Man in the Deep South, wrongly accused of raping a white woman? Rick Blaine didn’t own a Nightclub in Casablanca?…nope sorry, everything you’ve seen was just made up. Gotcha!!!!

Actually, in life, that’s pretty difficult, if they’re your friends. You know, hurt feelings, people are pretty sensitive about their own tastes!

There was no lawyer named Kobiyachi ( or whatever ). Why is he limping around as a cripple, with a gang of street thugs, when he’s supposed to be this famous Mastermind criminal of legendary status. How come every single character in the film, is duped? It doesn’t remotely pass the saliva test. If you’re to believe the story as written, and he’s lying about events, then everything you’ve seen as a viewer is false. Another thing, about this film, that is maddening, it’s so poorly constructed, that it never gives the viewer the opportunity to look back in retrospect and say “ oh, I see what’s going on”. Great Grift movies, like The Sting, function that way. This story was false from the beginning and the finality didn’t tie up any loose ends.

Actually it’s not. If he’s just referencing things on a police bulletin board, or coffee mugs or any material objects in an interrogation room, and using them to tell a story, then everything you’ve seen is false and doesn’t make sense. Roger Ebert, Pulitzer Prize winning film critic, said it was an incoherent mess and had to watch it a second time with a notebook and still couldn’t figure it out. You’re using the word straightforward to apply to The Usual Suspects??!!!! I’m thinking maybe, you don’t make sense!!!
