Vanilla SKy

Post by POOPERSCOOPER »

I just saw the movie last night and I kinda liked the first half but then the second hald or maybe the last 1/3 turn into a giant cluster fuck and I hated it. I remeber there being a lot of controversy when it was released, my parents saw it then and said it sucked too.

It got bad reviews when it came out but it did really good numbers, was everyone just wanting to see Tom Cruise or were people actually saying it was good?

What did you guys think of it?

I thought it was good, even though it was a chick flick.

Never heard of it.

Anyway, I totally watched Versus today. Neato zombie/wacky Japanese stuff flick.

Obre Los Ojos is superior. Wouldn't be particularly difficult, either. :drunk:

Vanilla Sky was pretty neat, though like Aptyp said it's a chick flick. See it with your girlfriend and she'll cry, you'll get to tell her everything's ok and fuck her.

I hated it. Tom Cruise is high on my list of actors who always suck. There was potential there but lost to Cruise & an ending that blew.

Cruise was pretty good in that movie with Jamie Foxx as the cab driver.

Edit: Collateral, that's it.

What, because it was in a different language? Pretentious twat. They both sucked.

(See also: The Ring versus Ringu. Lameness is universal.)

The ending was sort of an afterthought, heh. The hint in the very beginning of the movie was completely forgotten by the time Cruise's character "figured it out".

Because it was better than Vanilla Sky.

I have yet to claim Obre Los Ojos a good film.

If you are so certain of the answers, why question ?

I liked some of it, though it seemed a bit scattered. So I like Jacob's Ladder better. It didn't really seem like a movie, just a bunch of star trek:tng episodes mashed together with tom cruise and penelope cruz and he wears a mask sometimes. I liked the dude though, sup.

Cruise should be electrocuted for being himself. All movies where he appears are horrible shit. Got all parts from scientology friends in business. And it shows.

I thought "Born on the 4th of July" was pretty good and probably the best movie of his career? Maybe? Dunno. Oh, and Top Gun.
