    Um I think the assumption was meant to be that ghosts only appeared when they were needed or, had some message to communicate e.g. the girl with the videotape and so on.

    I dont think he was meant to be a constant presence.

    I think it's mentioned in the film that Ghosts do not realise they are dead and roam the earth as if nothing has changed, which is why they were coming to the kid. To fix the problem that forced them to repeat themselves over and over.

    The whole premise of the film was ridiculous, I mean, ghosts? wink.gif

    Anyway, if you pay attention to the story and what was said in the film it was made pretty clear that ghosts don't know they are dead and SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE! That's why Bruce thought the door to the basement was always locked instead of just blocked by that table with all those books.


    You gonna to finish that?

    If you think about it, this film is utterly ridiculous.....
    Are we supposed to believe that Bruce Willis walked around for a year and never noticed that no one saw him...that everyone ignored him...I mean, if no one said anything to me for more than a day i'd get suspicious....
    good film....a tad ridiculous though......a smart guy like that doctor Willis, not noticeing he' s dead..........COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    tct

    PS.. For anyone who had not seen the film and read this and is now pis.sed at me....it's your own fault, I warned you not to look at this!!!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Excelsior


    And I think TCT may have been building his statement as being completly preposterous from the beginning for comedic effect Chubby wink.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 842 ✭✭✭the celtic tiger


    I'm very sorry to inform you that that last post had nothing to do with my original complaint. Also, if he only appeared when he was needed, how didn't he realise that huge chunks of the year were missing from his memory.....So we are supposed to believe he was stupid!!!!!!!!!!!
    Ridiculous film......none of your replies make any sense whatsoever....

    it's not that he didn't realise, it's just it was like (to him) that the parts of his year that were missing actually happened, as was said "he only saw what he wanted to see" and so his memories were affected aswell smile.gif

    It's a film, designed to entertain you. Plot inconsistencies, just get over it. I mean Superman, how can he shoot lasers from his eyes!?!?! or fly, I mean that just defies the laws of physics!?!??

    I dont understand it, I must destroy it!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 577 ✭✭✭Chubby


    But but, TCT, how can Bruce's character have memory or be stupid when he didn't have a brain to think with or to hold memory wink.gif He was a ghost. If you must attack anything about the film then target the existence of ghosts heeh.

    You gonna to finish that?

    "he only saw what he wanted to see" did not include oly remembering what he wanted to remember!
    ****ING RIDICULOUS!!!!!

    As for that Fight Club movie, I mean how arew we meant to believe Tyler is yer mans alter-ego. Edward norton and Bradd Pitt look nothing alike!

    yeah, but don't forget the Matrix, so many plot holes. Cypher talking to Agent Smith in the matrix when you clearly need someone else there to hook you up. The next scene Morpheous tells them to surface to transmit depth so they can enter the matrix so how did Cypher get in in the first place even if he can do it himself wink.gif There're a lot more and don't even get me started on Star Wars.

    ****ING RIDICULOUS!!!!!

    maybe he didnt require a brain or a body to exist maybe he was just a residual emination recorded into our reality somehow
    and when a film is supposed to be "thought-provoking" that doesnt mean that you attack the film, you just appreciate it for what it is and discuss it's ideas and views.
    i havent even seen this film btw i just heard someone talk about the ending and the rest i just pieced together from ads wink.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 842 ✭✭✭the celtic tiger


    YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HERE!!!!!!!!! I SPECIFICALLY SAID "ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THE FILM SHOULD READ THIS". YOU JUST COULDN'TKEEP YOUR BIG NOSE OUT OF IT COULD YOU!!!!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Excelsior


    I dont think you guys realise that the Celtic Tiger is at this point just testing how far he can push, how little you can criticise others over.

    I need a photo oppurtunity
    I want a shot at redemption

    well, i enjoyed the film

    cant wait for stigmata


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,438 ✭✭✭TwoShedsJackson


    All reviews emanating from the US thus far about Stigmata have said its utter muck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    I haven't seen it, but those that have had mixed opinions, overall it's not supposed to be that great.

    End of days is getting a slagging too. smile.gif Should be seeing Sleepy Hollow finally sometime soon, looks good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭whitetrash


    dogma is coming out to though wink.gif


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,275 ✭✭✭Shinji


    Saw a prescreen cut of Dogma, it ROCKS.

    Funny thing is, I don't think it's anti-Catholic at all. It's actually quite pro-religious, but it just presents religion in a more modern sensible light.

    I love the way they constantly poke fun at the "we're just good friends honest" relationship between Matt Damon and Ben Affleck... And the character of God is rather a shock smile.gif

    End of Days is getting a lot of comparisons to Terminator 2, and apparently while it isn't up to the standard of T2, it isn't half bad when considered in the same genre.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    Funny you should mention WWF.

    Apprantly Star Trek Voyager will have guest appearances of WWF fighters to help improve the ratings. smile.gif

    They had the bald guy from Seinfield the other night on it, and actually a good episode. I can see him coming back into it too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭whitetrash


    yeah we really need to be infected by the WWF and Star Trek wink.gif
