Shutter Island

Post by POOPERSCOOPER »

I saw it yesterday and it was pretty good but I don't think many people will like it since when I polled people who came out of the previous showing 2 out of 3 said it sucked. Anyways, its about 2 federal marshals investigating stuff at a mental hospital and it has lots of crazy scenes like dream sequences and everything. The movie is kind of dense with lots of stuff to swallow but I liked it even though I probably would have preferred a standard detective story. I think the best way to describe the movie is to look at this picture that st. toxic drew some years ago;

If I hadn't seen Blade runner, K-Pax, Fight Club, and Secret Window, it would've gotten a grade better than C+. For a first psych thriller from this director, it wasn't horrible.
Appearing stupid is sexier than being stupid. Although I hear stoopid was a cut perk in fallout three, but was abandoned when the devs found out it could be simulated by simply playing the game...

Did those polled have reasons to why it "sucked"?

The question posed was to PooperScooper regarding Shutter Island.

I think they just said it wasn't their type of movie. They were older people so maybe they just don't get them movies.

Hmmm. The crowd watching with me was well sprinkled with older ppl. A few shifted in their seats during the.... "war" scenes. The theater was quiet enough to hear a heartbeat when the odd reveal came.

No, I'm pretty sure its Nicolai. I once asked st. toxic about it.

the figure is copied from a photo that was posted at DAC by Lunchmeat. I've got this photo but maybe shouldn't re-post it without lunchmeats permission.

It also doesn't look like Nico. If Toxic said it was Nico, maybe he got confused which photo is showing who.
