Apart from the end, which is ****.

Annoying that, lots of great films struggle with a decent ending. Does that undermine the film?

[Pat Vegas]

you hanging and you don't know what happened.

Personally I don't have the brain capacity to sit there and ponder what might have happened. I need to be spoon fed and I like my movies to be all sewn up at the end with a conclusion.

I still don't know what happened to The Wrestler.

[Luis Anaconda]

I don't think it does at all. I look it like books - many quality books and films don't need "endings" - climaxes maybe (not that kind) - but so much of the best literature is a snapshot into one part of the life of a protagonist that to tag on a conclusive ending is fake. Stuff happened before, stuff will happen after - move on

Unless they all die at the end of course

[Classic Jorge]

Plenty of great films have **** endings, or even just plain formulaic 'happily ever after' stuff, when you think about it there are very few brilliant endings to films.

[Brentwood]

[Luis Anaconda]

that has to have a "proper" ending. I am reading a Jack Reacher novel at the moment. I would disappointed if he doesn't pound the bad guys in the end. Similarly I love Bond novels and other detective stuff when you always know the hero will solve the crime

[Pat Vegas]

like leaving a New Years Party at 23:55pm.

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Who could write a rip-roaring tale but had no idea how to end it.

[Classic Jorge]

Still, from what I've heard over me sticking my fingers in my ears and going "lalalalalalala" it's pretty much the same effect.

[PSRB]

bit........he looks nothing like Tom Cruise in my mind!!

Good to see that the film utterly bombed :-)

[Luis Anaconda]

Never actually read any Wyndham - maybe I should try

[The Tony]

[Classic Jorge]

More realistic that way

[Luis Anaconda]

Got me through some very long journeys in Oz. I'm reading one of the later ones but as Child says you can read them in any order mostly. Quite a relief after getting through the first Game of Thrones book which was a cracking read but took some effort

[Classic Jorge]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

and 3 films for The Hobbit. I thought they were taking the piss, probably are, but the first one was decent.

[Luis Anaconda]

and the whole people insist on dubbing it into German thing of course

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

[modd]

rest sound meh

[Luis Anaconda]

I have an allergy to him

[Red N White Army]

It's good stuff. He's double hard.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Classic Jorge]

[Alexism - Atheoist]

Though apparently he wanted to write a sequel.

When I read the final book, I was sad. I thought, this guy hates this series and doesn't ever ever ever want to be bothered by it again. Turning the Guide into the destroyer of the universe seemed very Freudian.

[Luis Anaconda]

I know the feeling sometimes. Wish he had finished Salmon of Doubt.
