Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Re: I don't think it would have made a difference

[quote name="Bill Dungsroman"][quote name="FABIO"]But yeah, fuck the Sixth Sense. A complete borefest whose sole redeeming feature was that most people didn't see the twist ending coming. Started a trend that tapped the twist ending angle so dry that it's impossible for any movie to have one anymore, even smart ones where it would otherwise work; if Hitchcock were alive today he'd be screwed. Film makers started getting the idea that <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0309698/">any movie</a>, no matter how <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133152/">shitty</a>, can be instantly redeemed by throwing in a twist ending.[/quote] As Fussbett has astutely pointed out, Identity is made a million times better when linked to Adaptation and Charlie Kaufman. Well, not a million times better <I>to watch</I>, but to sort of occasionally think about. And even though your point is well-taken, using PotA as an example is a little cheap. I mean, <I>no shit</I>.[/quote]
