Title: The Prestiege
Post by: GilloD on May 27, 2008, 08:52:14 AM
is a better Sci-Fi film than a thriller/drama/whatever it was supposed to be. The ending is fuckin' ridiculous, but the parts with Tesla are awesome. I wish they'd played up the clone drama.

i loved the bowie parts as well, and overall it was alright. you should see ''it'' coming from a mile away, though. but i already knew about it beforehand, so maybe i'm wrong.

yeah, i saw the ending coming before hand.  Watch it in HD and you can tell even more easily.

still love it though.

Its a really solid flick, but, like everything Nolan does, is vastly overrated on the internet. I swear, GAF is trying make me go from thinking Nolan is fairly talented to hating his guts.

He's Tesla..

WHAT THE FUCK. That's the big surprise ending for me. Holy shit, I never would have noticed.


zomg. It's like the movie pulled an illusion on me and Spencer just did the Prestiege. I've been ILLUSIONATED by EB.

That's because GAF is simple minded and easily wowed.  Look at their anime obsession as "art" LOL

Or the people that thought paying money to sit in a theater that happened to be playing Speed Racer was in any way a good decision.

I think Christopher Nolan is a very talented director.  He's not the Second Coming or anything, but he's one of the best directors in Hollywood.  This is a case of Solo being corrupted by that foul cesspool on the other side of the Internets.  Stay here.  Where the air is crisp.

Its true. GAF is a cesspool that will kill your enjoyment of Nolan, Bale, and Batman.

self righteous crusading: evilbore exclusive :bow

I agree. I thought The Prestige was great. Batman Begins is good but nothing special; it's a serviceable action romp, nothing more, like Casino Royale.

i've only seen momento, the prestige and batman begins.

of those, i can't really say that i liked any of them.  i didn't hate any of them, but i don't really feel the need to re-watch them either.

jesus christ dude. most of us Batman fans on GAF exaggerate a lot of stuff. it's also pretty sad that other people loving something kills your enjoyment

See, I DONT think a lot of the GAF BB COCK OUT DEFENSE CREW are exaggerating. I genuinely believe some are batshit obsessed. Are certain ones just joking and having fun? No doubt. But I dont believe everyone is quite that stable.

TOYS was awesome

Post by: The Fake Shemp on May 27, 2008, 09:37:03 PM
TOYS was an abstract trainwreck, but memorable for that fact.  I think it survives despite Robin Williams.
