Did you like Momento? Did you like Batman Begins? Then go see "The Prestige." it's the same director. I'm not even going to review it. Don't read any reviews on it. Go see it and come up with your own opinion. It's worth the price of admission! It's worth the not knowing anything going into it! Is it THAT good? YES! IT! IS!

I kid you not, there was a group of 4 or 6, 60-70 year olds in the theatre I saw it in and a couple of them actually clapped at the end. RARE wouldn't cover it. Just trust me on this one, it's a DAMN good movie.

You know the previews you saw for it?

CRAP. . .Utter crap. the previews don't do it justice. it doesn't cover it. Nothing covers how good this is. Period. Why are you still reading this? GO SEE IT NOW! and PAY ATTENTION!

Ah well, here's the lyrics to the song they play during the end credits;

Analyse - Thom Yorke
A self-fulfilling prophecy of endless possibility
You roll in reams across the street
In algebra, in algebra

The fences that you cannot climb
The sentences that do not rhyme
In all that you can ever change
The one you're looking for

It gets you down
It gets you down

There's no spark
No light in the dark

It gets you down
It gets you down
You traveled far
What have you found
That there's no time
There's no time
To analyse
To think things through
To make sense

Like cows in the city, they never looked so pretty
By power carts and blackouts
Sleeping like babies

It gets you down
It gets you down
You're just playing a part
You're just playing a part

You're playing a part
Playing a part
And there's no time
There's no time
To analyse
Analyse

Jared: I understand people don't agree with the whole Nirvana thing, but I do know my movies. 
 
And, yes, I'm looking forward to Saw III as well (those movie posters are freakin' awesome!).  
 
As for clapping at movies, I agree it's stupid, but it's cool when a film is so good that it inspires it (not The Prestige). Films like Saving Private Ryan and (my personal all-time fav) This is Spinal Tap ... those deserve the applause!
haha!

People who clap at the end of movies do not rule. They should never rule and if they ever do rule they need to be overthrown.
What!!

People that clap at the end of movies rule. Have you never seen Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, how moving is that part!! 
 
And Jared no offence but you thought Nirvana ruined rock by being down beat and depressing...I will never trust your opinion. I'm sure you are a nice guy but come on. I'm saving my movie going cash for Saw III though so that pretty much negates my taste in movies. 
 
Too Twisty
Written by Pikachu on 2006-10-24 15:09:31
Too many twists at the end kind of made me angry. 
 
Plus, I dislike people who clap at the end of a movie! It's not a performance where the actors can hear you.  
 
However, I do like Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. It was a good movie, but I do want to see the Illusionist. Jared you're the second person to say it's a really good. 
I beg to disagree

Jared: 
The audience I saw it with was silent. We were all trying to figure out why nobody can make a good magic movie!  
 

I won't ruin anything in case people want to see it, but using out of time technology is just a cop out!  
 
 
The Illusionist had better acting (but the same tech problem).  
 
If you want to see a flick that is incredible. See The Departed. By far the best flick out now (Dono, Dan and I are going to see Flags of our Fathers on Friday, so I might change my mind).

3 Wise-asses (15)

3wiseassesWe're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!) We call it insight, you call it what you will.

Ravings, rantings, and gibberish. (36)

DrewWhat is up FoCo? I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado. I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks. Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know! --Drew
