Explain? Why is that? I bet you cannot name one reason....Am I not allowed to make a point or a statement. Stop sticking up for shit that you cannot back up.

I think 1408 looks very good! I really like John Cusack too! Haven't seen it yet, but am looking forward to it!

You'll love it, Mona. I really can't recommend this flick enough.

And I like Cusack, too, and he puts on an excellent performance.

I love John Cusack and try to see everything he's in. I also enjoy King's work, so this flick was a given. Cusack's acting was the best part for me. I enjoyed the story and got to jump a few times. So yeah, pretty decent, and as I posted in the "last movie seen" thread, I give it 7/10.

SodaGirl: Where are you at in Iowa, if you don't mind me asking? I'm moving out there (Iowa City) next year to be a Freshman at the U of I.

Black people being loud in a theater is a stereotype. Like all stereotypes, there is some truth to it, but they are sweeping generalizations about a groupbased on a select few.


Just like saying someone who thinks black people are loud in theaters is a biggot. Perhaps most of the black peiople he knows or have been exposed tyo ARE loud in theaters. Most white people I know are WAY to sensitive about the feelings of other races. But again, that is a stereotype ;)


Anyway. I thought the movie was decent, of course cusack's acting was great, and he went a long way to sell what i thought were some pretty mediocre scares. However, the tension and atmosphere was greta, the scares just didnt deliver on the promise the atmosphere made.

The point was that it was completely irrelevant.

It would be like me saying: I went to the theater and bought a ticket for a movie. The ticket-seller was white. Then I watched the movie, and I really liked it.

It was a pointless addition of a detail, that was all I was saying.

Agreed - totally, absolutely, utterly, definitely!

So.. you were high? On what? Are you perfectly sure the people behind you were black? Could they have been purple or cerise, even? I know a lot of purple people who happen to be noisy, but I do not know if their colour is relevant or not - after all, I have a tendancy to stare at purple people so one could assume that I am a very rude person. And white. And my house is pink. And my dog has the same ginger hair colour as me but I dont know if that makes him a copy cat??!!! :confused:

um..... that makes me a rude, white person, who lives in a pink house with a ginger dog, who is possibly a copy cat - what a colourful and surreal world I live in - indeed!

1408 ey... saw it on some website the other day. Reminds me of the shining but theres no wife and son to make it more interesting.

Not my cup of tee..pretty boring. The scary parts weren't really scary because they were either too predictable or took so long to happen.

5/10
