Juh-howh Cable (8:54:30 PM): Emerson heard a radical right wing blog radio or whatever say something good about this movie, so he must call the movie into question. ~_______~ Harry Lime Arrl :( (8:57:21 PM): Stone overtly Christianizes 9/11 in ways that go beyond the beliefs of his characters. A glowing apparition of Jesus appears twice, but the first time it just comes out of nowhere, and is followed by a memory-image of McLoughlin's wife. Harry Lime Arrl :( (8:57:32 PM): let's just soak in this mental image for a minute. Juh-howh Cable (8:58:29 PM): OOOOOOO Juh-howh Cable (8:58:37 PM): One other moment that exemplifies how "WTC" loses credibility above ground: a former paramedic (played by the great, underused actor Frank Whaley) who has lost his license finds his better self in helping to rescue Jimeno and McLoughlin. It's movingly done, up until his very last moment in the picture. When a volunteer asks him what he does, Stone cuts to another of those low-angle shots he weilds like a club, and lets a heavy pause hang in the air before he replies: "Paramedic." What an insult -- to the character and the audience. It throws you out of the movie by reminding you that you're watching a Hollywood movie. Juh-howh Cable (8:58:42 PM): HE SAID PARAMEDIC Harry Lime Arrl :( (8:58:46 PM): lololol Juh-howh Cable (8:59:06 PM): EMERSON IS READYING A TOP 10 LIST OF MOST INSULTING MOVIE MOMENTS RIGHT NOW SO HE CAN ADD THIS TO IT Harry Lime Arrl :( (8:59:12 PM): AHAHAHAHAHA Juh-howh Cable (8:59:41 PM): They dialed 9/11, like any piggy would, THEY SENT OUT RAAAAAAMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Juh-howh Cable (8:59:43 PM): JUST AS FAST Juh-howh Cable (8:59:45 PM): AS THEY COUUUUUULD Harry Lime Arrl :( (9:02:43 PM): where did he get that kubrick quote? i've never heard that before Juh-howh Cable (9:02:58 PM): No clue. :( Harry Lime Arrl :( (9:03:06 PM): he probably made it up Juh-howh Cable (9:03:14 PM): PSH Juh-howh Cable (9:03:19 PM): Kubrick won't be able to refute it. 8( Juh-howh Cable (9:03:22 PM): BECAUSE HE IS DEAD Harry Lime Arrl :( (9:03:35 PM): I'M JIM EMERSON I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK I WANT B) Juh-howh Cable (9:07:45 PM): I thought emerson was gonna go somewhere with this whole RIGHT WING SYNDICATED DUDER quote but he doesn't say anything else about it. :( Juh-howh Cable (9:08:09 PM): Because blog writers have no editors to question them. Harry Lime Arrl :( (9:08:34 PM): it's insane to me that newspapers have paid bloggers now btw Juh-howh Cable (9:08:39 PM): :( Juh-howh Cable (9:08:42 PM): BLOGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Juh-howh Cable (9:08:49 PM): I don't know if this guy is getting paid. Harry Lime Arrl :( (9:08:49 PM): ahaha :( Juh-howh Cable (9:08:57 PM): I think he's just writing on the site because he can and no one can stop him. Juh-howh Cable (9:09:13 PM): And Ebert might've been like "okay whatever just as long as you point out the reviews are by YOU and not me." |
