[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 114997, member: 8"] But it's fun to ramble about stupid movies. I'm almost tempted to watch that shockingly stupid ending, but I already know how it ends. The interpretations of the clues (well at least it made sense why there were clues in the first place) were so extremely far-fetched and nonsensical, I mean, I don't have to know and believe everything but in the story itself it should look like something clever, but not [I]sooo[/I] clever that I-the-viewer is being completely excluded. It's like one of those Star Trek episodes when the ship is in danger because of some previously-never-heard-of-before-entity, and then the only way to battle it is to *activate* some previously-never-heard-of-before-and-never-be-mentioned-after-that device, usually a device with a very flashy but nonsensical name. It's exactly why I can't enjoy science fiction movies, or supernatural shows like Hemlock Grove, that wants to do drama when everything else is already so extreme. If I'd see a person turning into a vampire or animal then that would be the end of the world and make any kind of [I]human[/I] drama completely irrelevant. Stupid movies, stupid tv shows - where would we be without them? [/QUOTE]
