Now I'm all for Moore turning the charm on, and he's as charming a fellow as there ever was, but the ending of the film is so convoluted and random. Allow me to elaborate.<br /><br />The end of Moonraker takes place in space. I will throw this movie the proverbial bone; one truly must turn a blind eye to factual unlikelihoods in order to allow yourself to be entertained by Bond films. But when Bond is in orbit and needs backup, and a team of Space Marines, equipped with laser rifles, who ar apparently already standing by for an epic space battle, reach their space destination in 3 minutes, the house of cards just collapses on me.<br /><br />The automatic response is either "what???" or "No. Nope. No way. Uh uh. Sorry. Nope."Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17946072466651357087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848471753025049912.post-30189306751163899212009-04-14T01:26:00.000-04:002009-04-14T01:26:00.000-04:00:-D wiley coyote

I can't believe you don't know how to spell my last name.<BR/><BR/>3. Scotty's picture is PERFECT.<BR/><BR/>4. I saw Garden State after I had my wisdom teeth out on a pain and Ice Cream bender after watching every Kevin Smith movie (except Jersey Girl) in chronological order. After beginning withdrawal I put in Garden State because it too had to do with New Jersey and I thought it may give me a fix. A bunch of people had said 'i would love it.'<BR/><BR/>I did not. At all.<BR/><BR/>It was my ex's favorite movie though so I always thought at some point we'd come back to it and I'd give it another try.<BR/><BR/>Now I don't feel quite as bad for having never done so, and likely never doing.Jason Heathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411144857939292461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848471753025049912.post-81767243801176796712009-04-13T18:20:00.000-04:002009-04-13T18:20:00.000-04:00I'm a little late on this, but whatever.

Well played indeed, Mr. Pratt.<BR/><BR/>Hancock - Oz and I have already discussed at length that we both agree with the WTF-turn that this movie took. I'd like to add, though, that Jason Bateman met Charlize Theron DAYS after his wife died in childbirth, and she was his "angel." NOT COOL, DUDE. That mourning period was so not over. NOT. COOL.<BR/><BR/>I actually thought about choosing High Fidelity as my movie. I thought the car-sex scene was going to lead to more awkward Laura/Rob scenes where she tells him to please get over it. I didn't want them to get back together. I still don't understand how that relationship is supposed to magically work out now.<BR/><BR/>Steve - you were speaking Chinese to me in your post, but you are definitely Paul Giamatti<BR/><BR/>And finally, THANK YOU, Damo (and Chanan). Garden State was stupid. I'm pretty sure she was just tired of burying hamsters. Waste of my life. I hate that it's considered this paragon of movie amazing-ness. I didn't write about it myself because I wouldn't change the ending, I'd change the whole damn thing.ali dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315380273775485622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848471753025049912.post-50354593644187978122009-04-13T15:08:00.000-04:002009-04-13T15:08:00.000-04:00Since you were all patient enough to wait out the ...Since you were all patient enough to wait out the credits, a special bonus scene is your reward.David Pratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741107987673246357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848471753025049912.post-90195336634150730012009-04-13T14:27:00.000-04:002009-04-13T14:27:00.000-04:00I'm with B.
