The original or the new one? I've not seen the original, but I thought the remake was super-abso-awesome-sweet.... until the end. Oh, the end.

The remake.  The ending was a lame excuse to finish the movie.  I realized that everything the characters did had no significance whatsoever.

SeanBateman:
NOOGA NOOGA!

Hat:
I haven't seen either of the movies, but I heard they ended the remake the same way as the book, with all the aliens succumbing to the common cold or whatever it was. Have I been misinformed, or did the ending manage to balls it up anyway, even sticking relativly close to the original idea?

I never went to see it, because I know I would spend half the time singing the songs from the Jeff Wayne album, and pissing people off.

"The chances of anything coming from mars, are a million to one, but still they-"

"Hey shut up, arsehole, I'm trying to watch the damn movie"

"Sorry.....  Farewell thunder-----Child, chi, chi, child!"

*Sounds of pummelling*

I don't think that was the point of the movie at all.

I thought in this post-modern age the point of a work of art is whatever we, the viewer, make of it?  Regardless, if nothing else this is a thread about opinions.  What I wrote is what I took away from Fight Club, and no amount of telling me I'm wrong is going to change the fact that that's my overwhelming impression, and that I find it utterly repugnant.

I thought that the creator of something usually has a purpose in mind.

And you know, "think", I thought (w00t irony), meant my opinion. As in, I didn't think that the movie was about that.

WOOPS ME SUPID LOL

Bunnyman:
I've come to a revelation during my time here.  (I'm wearing a shirt and tie, roll with me here)

All modern art is just one giant metahumoric joke.  That, or it's posers too fucked up on crystal to "get" the joke.  I mean, look at Duchamp's "Fountain," or half the shit in the SFMoMA.  Every time, I can see the artist laughing their ass off that people are analyzing the fact that some dude tipped over a urinal and signed it, or that some dude meticulously erased a De Koenig sketch, or made a tryptich out of formica.

Similarly, Jean-Luc Godard must have bene laughing his ass off during and after making Alphaville.  I mean, random photo-negative shots?  A fight and an attempted seduction happening simultaneously to a character, with no character realizing the other is happening?  The entire last half hour?

Gonna get back to you on Donnie Darko.  There are some total "Richard Kelly is so busting a gut right now" moments.  In the Director's Cut, anyway.
