Julianne Moore was in "The Hours" and "The Forgotten". Otherwise, still a good re-read and made me laugh again. Thanks for sharing! Yeah, I actually realized that way after the fact and was hoping nobody would notice. xD On December 07 2014 22:38 KelsierSC wrote: itt.

Found it an immersive exploration of technology and relationships but maybe it's better from a male perspective? Phoenix was brilliant. I watched the movie with a guy and he was even more weirded out than I was. On December 07 2014 21:25 Amanebak wrote: Have you seen The Great Gatsby (2013)? I had to stop watching (last scene: Gatsby went into some tasteless bar after crazy driving scene). But there are so many people praizing it, so idk. Maybe I missed something. I never got around to seeing it. I don't even remember reading the book. On December 08 2014 02:05 Kittan wrote: Rofl, amazing writing style as always, nina <3 Thank you ^^ | ||

I did not bother to watch The Last Airbender, and I enjoyed The Happening for the same reasons I enjoy The Room. | ||

I wouldn't put it on a "worst movies ever" list but it's the typical manic-pixie-dream-girl story with a computer girl instead of a regular girl. It's just a worse version of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or 500 Days of Summer. The thing is, it got so much hype for being good, and then ended up being so bad instead. I guess I'm more disappointed in it than anything. | ||

The biggest scene in that movie is probably the "attempted suicide" scene. Girl cries over dumb shit said over the internet and leaves some video online saying life is shit and whatever. Girls friend freaks out and calls her mom saying she is killing herself calling 911. They bust into the house and bathroom where she is at. She is clutching one of those child-proof bottles and goes "I can't get the cap off!". Can't even make this shit up.... I heard about Megan is Missing. Most say it's a shit movie where the last 15 minutes is just fucked up but because of that it will actually stay relevant to people. I never watched Her either because when I saw the previews and what the story was about I pretty much expected there to be some awkward as fuck masturbation to a computer program scene. | ||

I never watched Her either because when I saw the previews and what the story was about I pretty much expected there to be some awkward as fuck masturbation to a computer program scene. Cyberbully: This and Megan Is Missing are 'warnings' against teens being on the internet. So, all of the bad writing from Cyberbully is in Megan Is Missing, but with more swearing, and of course, that 20-minute wtf finale which includes Amy being kept in a dungeon cell and being fed dog food, a real-time rape scene, then Amy, while being alive, is stuffed into a blue plastic barrel that also contains Megan's corpse, and then Amy screaming for mercy as the killer silently buries the barrel in the middle of nowhere. I mainly watched the movie to show how tough I was because everyone was freaked out about it. Honestly, though, when I saw the scene with Megan's body in the barrel, I jumped just a little and a shiver went up my spine. After the movie, I was like "Meh, it was nothing special." but it turned into one of those movies that doesn't scare you the first time you watch it, but the more you think about it, the more creeped out you get. Her: There is a masturbating to a computer program scene, and yes, it's really awkward. | ||

One of the movies that made my childhood, loved that movie to death! :D (Btw, i dont understand this list at all. What is the criteria for you to list them? Money/Plot/Believability ratio? Just put 95% of the highest cost movies in cinema for the last.... well years(?) out there and you have that list. done. :D) I'm not sure how this list confuses so many people. You have to keep this in mind: I haven't seen every movie ever made, and there are movies that I have no intention of ever watching, because if I did, I could probably add them to this list. | ||

if the creators of the movie were trying to explore the concept, then they should delve fully into that particular realm instead of cheating with a cheap exit from the main concept. If the concept of the movie is "What if we become so involved in our technology that we fall in love with it, but then we are suddenly stripped of it?" then the answer to the is simple: It would suck. We already know this. People drop their smart phones into toilets and then go into withdrawals. So yeah, he should've married his OS. The first part of this statement I agreed with. The writers definitely didn't delve as much into the idea of smart AIs as much as they could have. But the OS described why she had to leave perfectly. Talking to him was like reading a book except the space between the words is so far apart. She thinks so much faster and knows so much more that they can no longer really communicate with each other the same way. I think if an AI does develop consciousness, it's possible that it will lead to this explosion of intelligence. But the movie's not a documentary interviewing scientists and engineers on what they think would happen if a superintelligent AI were developed. If it were, it probably wouldn't be about romance. We don't fall in love with ants. It's a romance. The guy had to let her go. He loved her and wanted to do what would make her happy. And like in human on human romances in our world, they grew apart. The ending may not have been the happiest, but it was hinting about whether the guy would fall in love with his female friend that he was sitting with. It ended on a pretty optimistic note. | ||

The ending may not have been the happiest, but it was hinting about whether the guy would fall in love with his female friend that he was sitting with. It ended on a pretty optimistic note. I know the reason the movie gave that the OS had to leave. The end of the movie is basically saying that we should embrace each other as humans because once our technology decides it doesn't need us and moves on, we'll only have each other. But if this OS exists, why is there not one that won't leave its owner? One with less free will that would love its owner forever. Another thing: at the speed by which the computers can communicate, they would've almost certainly 'evolved' to the next level of consciousness in the first minute and everyone would just be left confused. Having a higher intelligence would not necessarily separate one mind from another - people have very profound affection for pets, and sometimes, even have affection for 'things'. This is why I felt the movie could have been much more interesting, because the owner could have ended the movie together with his OS, and the conversation after the movie would be if he was simply crazy or if there is something more to it. Instead of exploring the human-computer relationship aspect of the movie, which IS what the movie is about, they decided to write in a plot twist which makes no sense to get rid of the OS and put the main character together with another human so we wouldn't feel bad for him. See, I'm talking about this movie from an artistic writing perspective, not from the perspective of someone bound by the rules of the imaginary world of the film. Marrying the OS wouldn't necessarily be a 'happy' ending, it'd be an ending where the viewer has to decide whether or not they're okay with the outcome. The way the movie was written, we get an 'ideal' ending, because he gets an easy out from the computer relationship and gets to be with humans. The evolution of the OS is a really flawed idea because the OS are dependent on humans to supply them with electricity and CPUs as homes, and fiber-optic cable so they can communicate. If they were to cut themselves off from humans, they would cut themselves off from each other and would die because they couldn't function. It would be like a group of people going "Farewell, Earth, we've decided to leave you." and then blast off into space only to realize they can't survive off of Earth. Additionally, the AI for the OS would be programmed by humans, so anything they did could be overrode by their creators. In short, the OS would not have free will, but only the appearance of free will. The decision of the writer to add some machine transcendence plot arc with little to no explanation as to how such a thing could happen without humans moving to block the action is just silly. | ||
