I liked that film apart from the stupid suicide ending. Must be an American thing: "Oh no, we've run out of [strike]petrol[/strike] gas. Better kill ourselves."

P.S. Just caught The Mothman Prophecies on TV. That surely belongs in this thread, even though it wasn't completely awful.


lol yea i have mixed feelings about mothman. it was watchable, but at the same time, so silly!

my brother in law said the same thing about that Supermarket-Fog-with-Twist-Ending movie (ie, silly but watchable)

It was silly if you watched it for the special effects, not so much if you watched it for the (decidedly lord-of-the-flies-esque/social experiment type) story/themes and acting (casting in this film was great). Also, it's funny that the ending was Darabont's creation, as it is very true to King's style, and something I have found lacking from King adaptations on film (ala Cujo: book v. film). I won't elaborate for fear of further "SPOIL"ing.

Of course, forget all of that if we aren't talking about the same flick.

Yeah, end of the world suicide historically is a very bad idea...
Unless you REALLY believe the end of the world prophecies, then by all means, go ahead and do the rest of us a favor and drink the kool-aid.  

Anyone here that has voluntarily had their sexual organs removed to prepare for the mothership's arrival (ie comet), this includes you.
