Bruce Almighty

[Raf]

Not bad, for what it was. Enough laughs to make it worthwhile, enough honest questions to provoke an interesting discussion about faith.

I've always thought Jim Carrey was the cinematic equivalent of fingernails on a blackboard. Yes, no?

I think I'll wait for the video...

I saw it a few days ago.

There were laughs?

Carrey's character was so unsympathetic and annoying, you just can't believe God would pick this spoiled crybaby for a little lesson in creation management, or even let him live.

Then again, "God" (Morgan Freeman, as a janitor, which rips off another movie whose title I've forgotten - Bill Bixby was in it) doesn't seem too concerned about much, letting Carrey pull the moon out of orbit to impress his girlfriend which generates a "tsunami" on the other side of the globe.

How dumb does it have to be before they look at the next script?

Couldn't watch it to the end but I saw enough to know it wasn't going to improve.

The plot failed on so many levels, you have to wonder. That's it - you just have to wonder.

You must be a movie critic for a living. :D-->

[QamiQazi]

No, but I play one on TV.

[Raf]

Sorry, I forgot about the typhoon thing. Silly me, I was just sitting there thinking, "this is a MOVIE. No one really died in a typhoon."

Anyway, I found the movie enjoyable and quite forgettable, so I won't defend it too much. :)-->

[QamiQazi]

But really, it wasn't a movie. It was a story told.

But instead of telling us a well-told story, it gave us old clichés, hackneyed formulas, and it wasted our time.

All of those resources, Rafael. All of that production money. All of those top writers. All of the talent at their disposal.

Bruce Almighty should have been good. They make more money in a year than you or I might in a lifetime. Why make excuses for them?

[Raf]

Because it was more watchable than Moulin Rouge.

Or Ishtar.

Dude, take a Percoset. Yeah, it could have been better. Gone With the Wind could have been better. Hudson Hawk could have been better.

Laugh a little.

[QamiQazi]

Rafael, drugs aren't the answer. Guns don't kill people, bombs kill people. Hollywood knows a thing or two about it.

[Raf]

what EVERRRRRRRRRR.

[jezusfreaky]

Ahem...hey Raph...don't forget about Exit to Eden...now THAT was a cinematic masterpiece!!!

Yes, seeing Dan Akroyd and Rosie O'Donnell in full BDSM regalia changed my life!!! ***sniff...sniff*** -->
