The thing at the end with the dad and his daughter. Tears?

A little. The worst for me was Coop watching the video messages after he'd lost 23 years.
The little actress that played his young daughter was a powerhouse. She was killing me too. Most of the negative reviews all say pretty much the same thing. Too long. Too ambitious. Too grand. WTF? Thank God for dudes like the Nolans.

The end had me at tears. That live monologue was stupid though.

You mean love?

Yup, Hathaway's darkest moment. I loved the film quite a bit though, especially the water planet. Those waves were awesome in theatres.

The love speech was totally uneccesary.

I don't know what the writers were thinking with that one. If you got your inspiration for a scene from an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh, then perhaps you should go back to the drawing board.

Indeed. I thought some of the dialogue was a little lazy too. 'Were you thinking about the crash daddy?' They could have introduced that backstory a little better. It's a great film but I have to admit that it's pretty easy to poke holes in.

Hell no. I was too busy trying to wrap around how terrible of a father Coop is. Good person. Kind of a bad dad. The end sealed it. Without spoiling it, I'll let this scene from Dumb and Dumber basically sum up the end for me.

Heat - (1995) Re-watched this one recently while I was clearing out some old VHS tapes from my collection. The bank heist scene is probably my second all-time favorite after the bank heist scene in 'The Wild Bunch.' |
