High Fidelity. Edit: Don't click if you haven't watch the movie.

[lupin]

I just saw it on DVD. The beginning was ok. But the ending?? WTF is he doing?? Going back with that girl Laura? I mean she never even explained why she acted the way she did.

Either it has a lame plot, or I didn't get it.

Anyone want to comment?

 

[MC]

i am gonna watch it sometimes this week. Will let you know.

 

[Ornery]

I don't know a damn thing about this movie, but it sure as hell sounds like you're SPOILING it! :|

 

[lupin]

Ah! That's very nice of you Ornery.

No one told you to read the thread, I have no idea you haven't watched the movie, and I have no intention of spoiling it.

And now you're BLAMING me?!!!

Give me a break man! I don't even know it's a new movie! I thought it's some stuff from last year released on DVD.

 

[Ornery]

Sh!t, I thought this topic was about music equipment. A few of you guys really gotta work on better topic titles.

I just saw the movie "The Sixth Sense" for the first time a couple months ago. I had no idea how that ended and I am extremely happy and lucky that nobody spoiled it for me. I've never even bothered watching "The Crying Game" because so many lamers had to blurt what that was about before I got a chance to see it. Why do people do that? :|

Ornery,

I thought it was about the movie. Then again I've seen it.

I love seeing all those records he has. I would kill to have a collection like that.

 

[lupin]

Damn.
What a spoiled elite member.

I had no intention whatsoever in spoiling the ending for you Ornery!!

I just saw the movie, I didn't know it was a recent movie, and I just wanted to ask about something I didn't understand.

And now you're whining and complaining?? It's not a very big movie, and it's not like you were thinking of watching it anyway.

There are TONS of new movie out there, many of them better than this one, why do you have to get all mad about ONE movie?

 

[yakko]

lupin,

The only thing you have t remember is that it is a John Cusack movie. They are all basically the same. He wants the girl and at the end he gets the girl.


EDIT> Check out Better Off, Say Anything, Gross Pointe Blank and One Creul Summer.

 

[Ornery]

Hey, sorry lupin. Must be lack of sleep catching up with me.

Peace

The book was a thousand times better than the movie. I liked the movie a lot, but High Fidelity, and all of that guy's books...aww, shit, I can't remember his name. All of that author's books I love. About A Boy is another one of his. Great stuff. I highly recommend you read the book.

Thanks for the edit lupin

Stop spoiling the movie man.
Some of us would like to see it for ourselves.

<< I was surprised the subject wasn't what I thought, but nearly as annoying. IMO, you should add a warning about being a spoiler to the title or something. That would be the considerate thing to do. Of course, if you are one of those kids that drive around annoying people, being considerate wouldn't likely be a high priority... >>



YES, I'll add a warning to the title next time. But still you're over-reacting.

Annoying old man.

IDIOT, can't you see that I edited the thread at 10:32 pm?

Guy loses girl, guy get girls back at the end of the movie. Either you've never watched a bit of american cinema before or you're not too quick, which one is it? Hollywood Movies are generally patently obvious and you can see the plot coming from a mile down the road.

 

[lupin]

but why did he wants to go back with that girl?? She's been a slut to him.

 

[Capn]

Cause no one likes a story with out a proper conclusion of course.

 

[konichiwa]

Except The Sixth Sense. Everyone seems to like that. :disgust: <-- link

 

[Spoooon]

I thought it was a great movie. That part when he was rehearsing in his head various scenarios involving Tim Robbins in the store was great! My favorite Cusack movie up to now would have to be Grosse Point Blank. Though Being John Malkovich was really good too.

 

[geoff2k]

I really enjoyed this movie as well, thanks for the reminder that it's out on DVD, I'll have to go find a coupon now to buy it with.

The parts I liked about the movie the most were where he starts talking to us (the audience) while he's in the middle of doing something else. Other people I saw the movie with thought it was very distracting and jarring, but I thought it was a pretty good movie-land replacement for the thought bubbles you'd see over the characters heads had it been a comic book.

I liked &quot;Hi-Fi&quot;. Loved the stuff in the record store with Jack Black and the other guy who looked like a wimpy version of Moby. Music snobs can get pretty violent.

lupin,



<< WTF is he doing?? Going back with that girl Laura? I mean she never even explained why she acted the way she did. >>



It was all about John Cusack's character coming to grips with what he thinks the perfect woman is like and what a real woman is like. The fact that it wasn't about sexy lingerie and hot sex, that's subjective. It's about overlooking the really valuable things in a relationship and then appreciating them, not always looking for the things he could never have (because they really don't exist). As for why Laura acked the way she did, it was because even though she loved him and wanted him, and was patient (to a degree) waiting for him to &quot;grow up&quot;, she needed to know if she was short changing herself by not exploring &quot;more stable and empathetic&quot; partners (the Tim Robbins character). The reason she accepts John Cusack's proposal in the end is because he expresses that he finally understands why he was unable BUT now able to appreciate her. (BTW, the multiple scenerio scene where Tim Robbins confronts John Cusack in the record store was hillarious!!)
