Spike ,'Sleeper'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Really? I missed that somehow
Yeah, I missed that too, and don't think it was made very clear in the end bit after the credits.
Also, if that is the case, then who takes over the Flying Dutchman? Because part of the job is to ferry/shepard the dead to the other side, right?
Right before Will had to leave on the Dutchman.
Ooooh, right. I had to go look at a summary; I'd forgotten that scene.
Though I'm kind of disappointed; I was hoping there was something scandalous going on.

I think it's a Dread Pirate Roberts type gig where you pass it on. I suppose there are always some folks willing to make that trade.
Fucking ridiculous. It's a heavy special effects movie, so you have to sit through about 8 minutes of bullshit, waiting to pee, to see a substantial piece of the narrative? I can't recall if I waited to the end of Pirates or not, but I rarely do it anymore. It's NEVER WORTH IT.
I always wait to leave until after the credits. Sometimes there's a little sump'n sump'n, sometimes not. My fave might be Matthew Broderick at the end of Ferris Bueller, coming out in a robe and peering out at the audience and saying "Why are you still here? Go home!"
We watched Hud the other night - it was really excellent. I especially liked Lonnie (Brandon de Wilde, who also played the little boy in Shane). I went to imdb to see what else he'd done and saw that he died at 30 in a car crash. Sad.
It's NEVER WORTH IT.
Although I very much enjoyed watching the footprints wandering around at the end of the Harry Potter #3 credits. They never particularly went anywhere, and nothing was revealed; just, watching invisible feet dance around was funny.
Also, at some point I think the footprints changed from those of a person to those of a dog. It was kinda cute.
Terminator Salvation. May 22 '09 set for release. First of a trilogy, apparently. Bale as John Connor.
