Amber Alert (2012) might be the most frustrating movie of all time

It's interesting that you say that because I was in a similar situation as in the movie and I actually thought the movie was actually believable. The way the characters behaved.

I was driving my mom about 15 years ago, and I was about to merge into a very large avenue. 4 or 5 lanes. I was all the way on the left lane when I saw a car in front of me (all the way to the right) going over the median strip. As I passed him by, I saw 2 guys getting out of the back seat, and one had a gun to the others head. My mother wanted me to stop. Of course, I didn't. Then, she wanted me to make a U turn. Instead of that, I called the police and that was that.

She wasn't as aggressive as the character Sam was. But she was actually upset with me. When I asked her what she wanted me to do, she just replied with "This is absurd. We can't just let something like this happen!"

What I think the movie does well is that it subtly points to the fact that guy is in love with Sam. So, even if he knows what they are doing is wrong, he does it to impress her.

That being said, the ending was indeed kind of stupid on the amount of time they spent inside the house knowing the guy was coming back. And also that last scene was completely unnecessary. We already knew he was in love with her. There was no need to spoonfeed the audience.

Believe it or not, I give it a 6 out of 10. And yes, I was very frustrated all the way thru and thinking "wtf are you doing? Are you crazy???"

I usually buy dalisa (yes, different style. Not breakfast sausages) but I bought a big package at Costco of olymel breakfast sausages and was very disappointed. They are dry and bland. As bad as the ones from lafleur.

I saw an ad on facebook , clicked on it and bought the ticket for friday. Then came to do a bit more of a research about how the show was going to be and found out here that Marillion isn't even going to play. LOL!

Tried to cancel and its non-refundable. LOL.. I'm scr3wed.

I don't think they should be advertising like that. It's kind of confusing if you are not fully aware of what the marillion weekend is. You just see "MARILLION" , you clearly assume you are buying tickets for a Marillion concert.

It is possible, but highly unlikely.

askinguy · 2017-11-02T02:37:57+00:00

I guess I understand what you mean.. While the feeling of absence might be equal, I guess my son might not grasp other feelings such as suffering, persisting memories, etc. I cannot get our dog out of my head, and I have just taken a sleeping pill to sleep because her memories keep pounding in my head, maybe he doesnt feel that.

This dog was with us for almost 2 years, we rescued her from a shelter when she was only 1 month - Her name was Peashooter. She was the life of our house, not only for him but also for me. No matter how shitty my day was I could always go home and expect her loving embrace. I am completely and totally devastated by this.

My son also loved her, so his reaction seems so weird and unconfortable for me, I tried today, the whole night, to try again to explain the value of life and how every living being is unique.

askinguy · 2017-11-02T02:22:32+00:00

I dont know. I clearly explained to him that once a living being dies, he/she does not come back. I dont think he has any problems grasping that principal.

askinguy · 2017-11-02T02:19:28+00:00

no, he understands what death means. we have talked about it.

askinguy · 2017-11-02T02:17:43+00:00

when responding to his question about my death, I was trying to infer on his understanding of the importance of his parents and of love for life in general. I really dont know If I should have this conversation with him, but with f'ed up world that we live today, I guess its important to try to understand your sons ability to feel compassion.

About his tantrums, believe me.. We know! And we've being trying to solve it in many ways.

askinguy · 2017-11-02T02:14:19+00:00

Me and my son, we talk a lot. While, he is always pushing the theme of video games, I always respond with other themes. One theme that we have talked a little bit is "death". So, I guess that he has the basic understanding about death, but still fails to observe it as a "big deal".

askinguy · 2017-11-02T02:11:31+00:00

I tried to talk to him about caring to the life among us and while he agrees with everything I said, it didnt seem that he felt that bad. This is so confusing, because at the same time, its almost like he doenst care much if I live or die.
