1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Hello, Welcome back to Movie Mix Movie Podcast. 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: I am movie Mike on Twitter and Instagram at Mike destro. 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: If you're new to the podcast, I just want to 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: say what up and welcome. What I do every single 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: week on this podcast, well just talk about movies, and 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: today I am talking about good movies with bad endings. 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: I asked a bunch of you guys on Twitter, what's 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 1: a good movie you think had a bad ending? And 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: I found a bunch of different responses, and I want 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: to get into my list I came up with, and 11 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: also get into the ones you guys submitted, because there's 12 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: some good debate here, because a bad ending can be 13 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: seen in different ways. Either it really ruined the movie, 14 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: or maybe it just didn't end with the way you 15 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: wanted it to. So does that make it a bad ending? 16 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: Well we'll discussed that here in a bit. And I 17 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: also want to talk about some very famous movies that 18 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: actually had alternative endings. So either they didn't test well 19 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: in theaters or they just realized in the script it 20 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: wasn't going to work. So really famous movies that could 21 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: have been an entirely different type of movie if they 22 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: would have ended this way. I'll get into my list 23 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: of those. I also want to give a movie review 24 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: this week on something I watched on Netflix. It's Extraction, 25 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: Sorry and Chris Hemsworth, So we'll get into that. But 26 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: it really means a lot that you hit play on 27 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: this podcast today.

You can even follow them on Twitter 35 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: and get in on the action. Tell them about it. 36 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: Maybe they'll enjoy it too, and you guys can talk 37 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: about it together and even send me an episode idea. 38 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: If there's something you think I should talk about on 39 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: the show, just send me a tweet and I'll look 40 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: through those and maybe bring those up on a future episode. 41 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: And finally, if you're listening on Apple Podcast, just leave 42 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: me a quick little review in that five star rating, 43 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: because it really helps me kind of get out there 44 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: being a new podcast to have more people come on 45 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: and kind of discover the podcast when they're just scrolling 46 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: through them for something new to listen to. When you 47 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: leave those that kind of boost me up and gets 48 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: helps me get seen out there. So that would mean 49 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: a lot to me. And it really takes like five 50 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: seconds to do, so by the time you listen to this, 51 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: you could have already done it. So and before I 52 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: get into this episode, I know I like to keep 53 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: this a spoiler free podcast, but obviously you can't really 54 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: talk about endings of movie without kind of spoiling them. 55 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: I did try to keep them to movies that came 56 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: out at least over ten years ago, which I believe 57 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: is kind of the rule. If it's been out ten years, 58 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna watch it at this point. And 59 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: there is one I review that's fairly newer, but I'll 60 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: give you a spoiler alert before I do that, so 61 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: if you want to skip ahead a little bit in that. Anyway, 62 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: I just wanted to explore this topic, and I am 63 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: kind of breaking my own rules of not spoiling movies, 64 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: but it will be the only time, and if there 65 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: ever is a spoiler in the future, I will always 66 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: teach you with that spoiler review because I'm not that 67 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: kind of podcast. It's going to ruin a movie for you. 68 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: All Right, With all that said, let's get started. In 69 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 1: a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast. 70 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: One man stands to infants the years of listeners like 71 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast, A man with so 72 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: much movie knowledge. He's basically like a walking AUMTV with 73 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: glasses from the Nashville Podcast Networking Movie movie Podcast. Alright, 74 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: so today we're talking about good movies with bad endings. 75 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: That has to bunch of you guys on Twitter for 76 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: your opinions. I got my list going. But first, before 77 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: we get into this, let's set the criteria. So first 78 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: of all, it has to be a good movie. It 79 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: has to be something that is seen as all the 80 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: way up to the ending was great and then it 81 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: really just lost people. Maybe it kills the moving entirely, 82 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: or maybe just kind of takes it down a peg 83 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: in your book, But that has to be the first 84 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: part of it has to be a good movie to 85 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: begin with ruined by a bad ending. And also in 86 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: this just because the movie ends the way you didn't 87 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: have in your head, it doesn't wrap everything up nicely. 88 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: And in with everything perfect in the and it doesn't 89 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: mean it's a bad ending. I saw a bunch of 90 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: those responses too, and for me and myself, sometimes I 91 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: like it with everything that end perfectly and it's all 92 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: nice wrapped up in the end and everybody ends up 93 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: together and in love, or everything works out of the end. 94 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: Sometimes you need that ending that hits you in the gut. 95 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: It makes you feel like, oh man, well that kind 96 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: of sucks, and I think that's fine. That doesn't make 97 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: it a bad ending. What I hate is when I 98 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: feel ripped off or when I feel like there was 99 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: lazy writing. So the reason I thought of this episode 100 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: is because I watched the movie this week called A 101 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: Simple Favor. So first of all, before I started this episode, 102 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to talk about endings to movies 103 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: without giving spoilers, so I normally try to keep this 104 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: a spoiler free podcast. I tried to pick a lot 105 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: of movies that have been out for at least ten years, 106 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: but I kind of feel like that's the role on spoilers, 107 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: Like if it's been out ten years, you probably haven't 108 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: watched it up to this point. But it kind of 109 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: started with the movie that I watched and didn't enjoy 110 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: the ending, So I won't ruin this entire movie right now, 111 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: but I just want to explain what I got um 112 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: the idea for this episode with. Anyway, if you haven't 113 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: seen a simple favor, maybe skip ahead like a minute 114 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: or two, because I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm not gonna 115 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: give the ending away. I'm just gonna give away. I'm 116 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: just gonna say why I didn't like the way this 117 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: ending made me feel. So it starts Blake Lively and 118 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: Anakendrick and what happens at the end of this movie, 119 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: Like it was a great first and second, I'm not 120 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: gonna ruin it now. I'm I've made up my mind. 121 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm not hurting the movie, So you're good. The first 122 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: and second actor so intriguing, and it had a potential 123 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: to be a really good movie. But by the time 124 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: it gets to that third act, it just goes in 125 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: all different kinds of directions. You're confused as as as 126 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: you're watching it, you don't know where it's going, and 127 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: it just ends and it falls flat. By the time 128 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: you get to those last twenty minutes, you don't really care. 129 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: And I think that's what makes a good movie have 130 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: a bad ending, and it just ruined by that. Another 131 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: thing I felt this movie was really lazy, like there's 132 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: a there's a troop, a thing that happens in movies 133 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: that I despise, Like I hate it when you just 134 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: take out a main character with like an instant like boom, 135 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: They're gone, Like that makes no sense. It's such lazy 136 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: writing when it's like an attack out of nowhere and 137 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: there everything just ends up clean, like you don't have 138 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: any kind of intention behind it. They're just gone. So 139 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: I think this movie is a perfect example of that, 140 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: and I want to get into some other ones now, 141 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: but I just think when there's lazy writing and it 142 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: just gets confusing to the point where you're like, Okay, 143 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: just end this movie already, like I don't care. I 144 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: think that's what makes a bad ending. So I'll get 145 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: into some of these. What I had first of all, 146 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: probably the main response I had was Titanic, and by now, 147 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: if you haven't seen Titanic, I'm sorry. It's one of 148 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: the most iconic, highest grossing movies of our lifetime. If 149 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: you haven't seen the ending Titanic, you're missing out. You 150 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: haven't seen it. By now you're probably not gonna watch 151 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: it now. But it famously ends with Jack dying and 152 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: Rose staying alive on the door. Now, I don't think 153 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: that's what makes that movie a bad ending, because I 154 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: obviously if he could have fit on the door, he 155 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: would have been on the door like they You think 156 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: they didn't try that, maybe they don't show it in 157 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: the movie, But I don't think that's a bad ending. 158 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: I think Jack had to die in this movie because 159 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: otherwise he wouldn't really remember it. If they ended up 160 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: together and they were both rescued, that would be a 161 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: lame minting. That would be terrible. He has to die 162 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: in this movie to make this movie a great movie. 163 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: Jack has to die. So I'm fine with that. I 164 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: don't think they even needed to attempt to put him 165 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: on the door. Jack dying is fine. It's the fact 166 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: that she throws the stone into the ocean like that 167 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: that makes no sense, Like that's how the movie ends 168 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: of her, like looking back on that entire story and 169 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: then just throwing the ocean diamond back, the heart of 170 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: the ocean back into the ocean like that, that part 171 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: of it makes no sense. And I think even just 172 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: that kind of narrative in the movie Titanic, I think 173 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: it could do without. So I don't think it's the 174 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: fact that died and they could have shared the door. 175 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: I don't think that was ever a possibility. But the 176 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: fact that she gave up maybe like a twenty million 177 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: dollar diamond and threw it into the ocean, that's what 178 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: makes that movie a bad movie ending. Moving on to 179 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: War the World's starring Tom Cruise back in two thousand five. 180 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: Now Steven Spielberg one of the greatest directors, but this 181 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: one I feel just kind of falls flat. Like what 182 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: I've been saying earlier, I hate it when a movie 183 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: just ends with kind of oh, everything's cool now, and 184 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: the whole time in this movie, it's Tom Cruise in 185 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: Dacoda fanning chaotic scene after chaotic scene, and I mean 186 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: the movie starts off right away with action and it 187 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: gets I really enjoyed this movie. Maybe to could have 188 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: fanning streaming gets a little annoying here and there. And 189 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm not even the biggest Tom Cruise fan. Like, he 190 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: is one actor that for some reason I just I 191 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: don't I can't stay in him in movies, But in 192 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: this one, I actually liked him, And I think it's 193 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: mainly because I like alien End of the World movies, 194 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: and I thought he was fine in this one. He 195 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: was at least tom crazy as he could have been. 196 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: But you go about two hours into this movie, and 197 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they realized that aliens can't 198 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: survive on Earth, and everything just kind of turns out, Okay, 199 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: Tom True's are good. You're you and your family are safe. Now. 200 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: This whole time you've been running from aliens at the 201 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: just trying to survive, and then the aliens are just like, oh, 202 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: they can't live here. Turns out everybody go home. The 203 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: entire city is actually an okay, decent condition. I thought 204 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: that was just kind of a bummer ending, kind of 205 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: lazy and didn't really give me what I wanted out 206 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: of an ending. All right, next up, keeping it in 207 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: the alien family for the next one. Now. A very 208 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: controversial director is m Night Shamalan. Now, he's very famous 209 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: for having twist in his movies, and I think oftentimes 210 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: he'd be that it's being kind of his movies are 211 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: kind of teach is not as having bad anything because 212 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: you don't like the twist. Every movie he has has 213 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: a twist, and I think it works sometimes. I think 214 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: it's really great when you go into a movie kind 215 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: of expecting, like, Okay, something gonna be totally different, and 216 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: I think that's cool. I don't hate him for that. 217 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: But a movie I was so invested in with Signs 218 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: and I saw this movie in theaters and I remember 219 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: watching it and being really scared, like the whole time. 220 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: That movie just had me like, holy crap, like this 221 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: is one of the scariest things I've seen and it's 222 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: not even supposed to be a horror movie. But I 223 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: still remember the feeling I got the first time when 224 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: I was sitting in the theater. And what I like 225 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: about this movie is they don't show the aliens a 226 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: whole lot. I think what a really great action adventure 227 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: movie does, and any kind of horror movie, is you 228 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: don't give away the monster because that image you have 229 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: in your head create such a better picture of not 230 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: seeing it so much until the very end, until it's 231 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: all out, third actor going for that final battle scene, 232 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: but when you just really kind of subtly show a 233 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: glimpse of them here and there, but it's more just 234 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: talked about in that anticipation. I think this movie did 235 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: a really great job of that because that first time 236 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: I remember seeing the alien walk across in the news footage, 237 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: I was like, holy crap, Like for some reason I 238 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: thought that was a real alien. I was like, am 239 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: Night Shamalan has proved the aliens exist. And I was 240 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: so scared in the movie theater and that part was scary. 241 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: But then you get to this third act and the 242 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: whole time it just turns out that aliens are somehow 243 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: allergic to water, and it plays off the fact that 244 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: this girl, the little girl in the movie, would leave 245 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: have drink cups of water throughout the house and they're 246 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: all around the house, strategically placed when the aliens come 247 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: and invade their home, and then they're in this fight 248 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: team with the aliens, and I feel like even when 249 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: they show the aliens at this point it I mean, 250 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: this was early two thousands, but the c g I 251 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: just looks pretty weak, and the aliens almost like cartoonish, 252 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: and it goes full on cartoon whenever the alien brushes 253 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: against like a piano or a bookshelf, and a couple 254 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: of waterfalls on his shoulder and he starts dissolving, and 255 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: then you realize, oh, crap. The aliens can't handle splashes 256 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: of water on him. So then you got Joaquin Phoenix 257 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: with the bat the whole time. You're like, oh, what's 258 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: he been doing with that thing the whole time? And 259 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: he just starts going to town and breaking glasses of 260 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: water and suddenly aliens are gone. There's I mean, the 261 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: whole time, they're trying to figure out why these crop 262 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: circles and all this mysterious stuff that went on with 263 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: mel Gibson's family, and it was just glasses of water apparently, 264 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: And why would aliens invade Earth that's almost entirely made 265 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: up of water if they were allergic to water essentially? 266 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: So I just thought that was a bad ending. All Right, 267 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: we'll go into the superhero vein. I'm a big fan 268 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: of superhero movies, mainly the Marvel stuff, but uh, like 269 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: everybody else, I love Batman and I thought the Dark 270 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: Knight trilogy was almost perfect. But when you get to 271 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: the Dark Knight Rises, I feel like that third act 272 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: just fell pretty flat because in that movie, Bane is 273 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: such a dominant force and he just can't be stopped 274 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: by Batman. From that opening scene where he takes over 275 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: that plane and then just the whole build up of 276 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: him breaking Batman's back and just being this undeniable villain 277 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: that you don't really see like how he's gonna be 278 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: taken down. And that's what I loved about The Dark 279 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: Knight Rises, and even more so than Joeker in The 280 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: Dark Night, I felt like Bain was a stronger villain 281 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: and the fact that you didn't really know how he 282 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: was going to be stopped all up until then you 283 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: get to the third act of this movie where just 284 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: kind of gets blurry and fuzzy, because then you have 285 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: the Dark Night and you have Bain battling against each other, 286 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Bain is essentially defeated by 287 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: Selina Kyle a k a catwoman running him over, and 288 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: he's gone very anti climactic, like you have being this 289 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: guy who can't be touched and he does all these 290 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: crazy schemes, but he's just run over. I really think 291 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: that running over somebody in the movie is the is 292 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: the laziest thing you can put into a movie. They 293 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: do with so much in like horror movies where somebody 294 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: just gets hit by a bust, even if it's not 295 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: the ending, just anybody getting hit by a car should 296 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: be taken out and never written into a movie, so 297 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: I hated that in the movie. And then Bain doesn't 298 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: really become the villain anymore, and it's this woman who's 299 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: been there the whole time, And just so getting into 300 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: the very ending of the movie, I feel like it 301 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: doesn't really make sense because you have Bruce Wayne and 302 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: Selena Kyle. They go off, you think he's dead, and 303 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: then they're just living together, and then you have Alfred 304 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: see them from across the restaurant, and just it's it's 305 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: just very just a very unsatisfying ending, just for how 306 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: impactful that trilogy was. To kind of end on that note, 307 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: was just like, ok, you're not really gonna tell with 308 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: anything else, and you have to pretty much assume that 309 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: Joseph Gordon Levitt's character becomes Robin. So it's all just 310 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: kind of like us assuming what happens. And I get 311 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: that they don't have to tell you every single thing 312 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: in an ending, but I just feel like that one 313 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: was just like, Okay, we don't really know how to 314 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: end this one. Um Batman go then he goes into hiding, 315 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: all right, see you later, all right. The next one, 316 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: I saw a lot of you guys tweet about was 317 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: La La Land and I love La La Land. Now, 318 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: I have come on the podcast and said that I 319 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: am not a big fan of musicals and I didn't 320 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: want to like this movie. And I went to see 321 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: it because it was nominated for a Best Picture that year, 322 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: and I was like, I'll go watch it, and about 323 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: five minutes into it, I ended up loving it. And 324 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people said that they didn't like this ending. Now, 325 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: I think this is a great example of movies that 326 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: don't end the way you want them to. But I 327 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: don't think this was a bad ending because the fact 328 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: that Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone didn't end up together, 329 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that makes it a bad ending. I 330 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: think that's great. I think it's an unconventional love story 331 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: and if they would have ended up together, it would 332 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: have been just It would have taken out how artistic 333 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: this movie was. And I like it In romantic movies 334 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: where the two don't end up together, where it doesn't 335 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: quite work out, I think that's a really it's it's 336 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: tough for audiences, and it's tough for people who get 337 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: so invested and want to see two people be together 338 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: and not end up together at the end, But I 339 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: think in this movie it really works and it makes 340 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: more sense for them not to be together than to 341 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: kind of adapt into this okay, perfectly magical ending, and 342 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: it ends on a really great, happy note. I think 343 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: this movie takes you on a bunch of ups and downs, 344 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: and it's fun and parts when they are together. But 345 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: the fact that it ends up that they don't go 346 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: off and get married into the sunset, I think it's great. 347 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: So I don't think The Land has a bad ending. Sorry, 348 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: all right, And there's another movie that a bunch of 349 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: you guys tweet to me about that I want to 350 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: talk about in another segment. I'm gonna do because I 351 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: am legend with Will Smith. Some people said they had 352 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: a bad ending. I don't think it was a terrible ending, 353 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: But it's a movie that actually had an alternative ending 354 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: that was shot and not put into the movie. And 355 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: not only that, the book that it was adapted for 356 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: had a completely different ending that I think was even 357 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: better than either the alternative or the one that ended 358 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: up in theater. So what I want to do next 359 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: to talk about alternative endings to popular movies, and in 360 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: some cases it would have made for a better movie, 361 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: but a lot of these it's like, Okay, I'm glad 362 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: that they went with the ending they went with, So 363 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll do that segment next. 364 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: All right, Gonna get into now alternative endings from very 365 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: famous movies, and the first one I wanted to talk 366 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: about is I Am Legend, which ends with Will Smith's 367 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: character essentially finding the cure to the virus that has 368 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: caused all these dark Seekers that he's been fighting the 369 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: entire movie. But as he finds it, he ends up 370 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: having to sacrifice himself to give the vaccine to this 371 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: other woman and a child who go on and give 372 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: it to the world, but he has to essentially blow 373 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: up the lab, blow up himself to take out these 374 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: dark Seekers that are trying to break in. And that's 375 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: the version you saw in movie theaters, and a bunch 376 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: of critics didn't like it. I thought it was fine. 377 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: But there was also an alternative ending that they filmed 378 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: and didn't tests so well on the screen when they 379 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: were first showing the movie, and it was Will Smith 380 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: still finding the vaccine, but he ends up befriending the 381 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: dark Sneakers and they're like learned to essentially live and 382 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: coexist because they just realized that they've been misunderstood from 383 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: each other, that they saw Will Smith was trying to help, 384 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: and they take the female dark secret that he's taken 385 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: into his lab, and they learned to kind of live 386 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: in harmony and audiences andn't like that. Maybe rightfully so. 387 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: But there's another version that was actually in the book 388 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: that the movie is based on, where I think it's 389 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: kind of the darkest and I think would have even 390 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: been a better ending to the movie. Is that essentially 391 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: these dark Sneakers have taken over the world and they 392 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: kind of become and are seen as the main people 393 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: like inhabiting Earth, like they are the majority, and will 394 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: Smith in turn becomes almost the villain and the monster 395 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: because they see him as the one trying to take 396 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: them out and cure them and a threat on their 397 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: lives that he in turn is scene as the monster. 398 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: And I think that's almost the darkest ending and would 399 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: have been a really great, great twist to this movie, 400 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: because the whole time you think, oh, it's will Smith 401 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: trying to save humanity and he's the last human on Earth. 402 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: But from their point of view, it's this guy trying 403 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: to take out of their people. So I think that 404 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: would have been a great alternative ending. In this case, 405 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: I was fine with the ending that came out in theaters. 406 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: I never thought this movie had a bed ending, but 407 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: I think the fact that it had all these alternative 408 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: ways it could have gone that could have been interesting. 409 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: All right, and I have your note. The original ending 410 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: to Dodgeball actually had kind of a dark humor type ending. 411 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: So the original ending was the average joes and up 412 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: pulling off the wind and everything is happy and the 413 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: bad guy loses. But the one they tried it out 414 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: with audiences before that was the fact that Ben Stiller's 415 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: team just ends up winning, like I don't know, We're like, 416 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: oh we win, everybody goes home. You see Vince Vaughn 417 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: kind of in a slow motion, oh well we lost, 418 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: And that was the ending. So it was almost like 419 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: an anti joke type ending of this whole build up 420 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: off it's supposed to be these underdogs winning a sports 421 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: movie that kind of thing, and just being like, oh, 422 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: we take a total turn and bad guy wins, which 423 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: I could see going to watch that and being like, oh, 424 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: well that kind of sucked. But it was also could 425 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: have been kind of funny, because you don't really expect 426 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: that it had all the other makings of a of 427 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: a sports movie of the underdog story. If it would 428 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: have had that kind of killer kill, the comedy kill 429 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: the ending, I think that could have been kind of 430 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: funny to see. And in the movie that was already 431 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: so ridiculous about Dodgeball, why not give it a totally 432 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: crazy ending could have worked. All Let's go way back 433 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: to Star Wars Return of the Jedi, because you're original 434 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: script actually included the death of Han Solo. Now, this 435 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: is according to a producer of the movie who said 436 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: they wanted to kill Han Solo and essentially a raid 437 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: on the Imperial base. But George Lucas was so concerned 438 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: about the death of Han Solo and he didn't want 439 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: to kill off a major character because, I mean, he 440 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: thought it would affect merchandizing sales, like if you kill 441 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: up Han Solo, you can't sell Han Solo action figures 442 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: for years to come. And also you kill off a 443 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: main character if there was any chance of at the 444 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: time there being sequels and all the other movies they 445 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: ended up making, you would lose Han Solo, which I 446 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: think in the end this was probably a good move, 447 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: But I am not opposed to killing main characters early 448 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: on in a movie franchise. I think it makes it 449 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: really impactful. And yes, it would have made the newer 450 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: Star Wars movies a bit different, but it could have 451 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: also made him just that much more legendary of a character. 452 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: But in this case, probably a good idea to leave 453 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: the beloved Han solo in this movie Pretty Woman. So 454 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: Pretty Woman is essentially a Cinderella story. You take Julia 455 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: Roberts character, you have her meet this charming guy. He 456 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: turns her into a princess. But in the original movie 457 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,719 Speaker 1: it had an ending that was a lot darker, and 458 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: the whole movie just kind of had a more serious 459 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: and darker tone. And then the original ending, she was 460 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: supposed to end up back on the streets. So Julia 461 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: Robert's character, Bibby and We was just supposed to get 462 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: the money from this guy and ends up going back 463 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: on the streets and living a really dark and depressing, 464 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: horrible life. And this guy just kind of turns out 465 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,719 Speaker 1: to be another horrible man. No Cinderella story, no happy, 466 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: lovely ending. It just goes back to being sad, and 467 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: if that would have happened, this movie would not be 468 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: as beloved as it was, so good call on that one, 469 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: all right. And last up we have the Lion King, 470 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: so Disney always has to have a pretty heavy ending, 471 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: and the original one that this was a lot darker, 472 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: and there's even some test footage on YouTube if you 473 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: want to search this out for the alternative ending. But 474 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: what happens is pretty close to what happens in the 475 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: movie with one little twist. So you have them battling 476 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: out on Pride Rock and it turns into almost what 477 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: happened at the beginning of the movie with Scar and Mufassa. 478 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: Now it's Simba and Scar, but instead what was supposed 479 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: to happen instead of Simba jumping back up fighting Scar 480 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: and then essentially the hyenas taking out Scar. And really 481 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: what you don't see bull was supposed to happen was 482 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: as they're fighting on the top of the Pride Rock 483 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: is he was supposed to throw a Simba off just 484 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: like it didn't move fasta but unlike what happened to 485 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: mu Flassa, Simba was supposed to hit a branch and 486 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: be saved, but then Scar was supposed to be left 487 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: up on Bride Rock essentially burning down with all those flames, 488 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: which when you watch this test footage to be searched 489 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: on YouTube, the alternative ending of the Lion King, it 490 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: looks pretty dark because Scar is just up there laughing 491 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: maniagally and then essentially being taken out by the flames. 492 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: And I think that would have scared little kids and 493 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: scared of five year old me watching this. So there's 494 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: probably a reason why Disney isn't known for having brutal endings. 495 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: All right, Gonna get into a movie review now, talking 496 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: about the movie Extraction, starring Chris Hemsworth, directed by Sam Hargrave, 497 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: but more important than that, it is written by the 498 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: Russo brothers, who also directed the Avengers movies, So essentially 499 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: you have those two teaming up together. It's essentially a 500 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: movie with thor again if you think about it that way. 501 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: But I saw I had been in the top ten 502 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: on Netflix for the past couple of weeks and I 503 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: finally had time to sit down and watch it, and 504 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: if nothing else, I was going to have an enjoyable 505 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: experience of seeing the stunning Chris Hemsworth on the screen. So, 506 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: first of all, here's a little bit of extraction. Best 507 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: thing you could do for that kid would be pulling friends, 508 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: but you couldn't even the kid behind. Are you going 509 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: to leave me in the street? All right? So for 510 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: the plot of this movie, there's really not a whole 511 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: lot to it. You have Chris Hemsworth character. He plays 512 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: the guy named Tyler Rake who is hired to essentially 513 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: rescue this kid who has been stolen by these drug 514 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: smugglers and hild for ransom. That's pretty much all you 515 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: need to know going into this movie. Nothing crazy as 516 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: far as the storyline, very easy to follow, and it's 517 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: just the all out action movie. So it starts out 518 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: pretty simple enough and it wraps up pretty quick. So 519 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: it's a movie that goes right into it. And what 520 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: I liked about this movie not that I wasn't expecting 521 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: to like it, but what's not about the first ten 522 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: minutes you kind of know what it's going to be, 523 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: and you kind of have to make that decision of 524 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: the mindset you want to put yourself in, like are 525 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: you gonna some movies you just want to go into 526 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: and enjoy no matter what. Different movies have kind of 527 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: different levels of how you rate them. I think this 528 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: one's on a whole different spectrum because it's just one 529 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: you can sit down and watch and enjoy. It's when 530 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: I could probably watch with my dad, who doesn't watch 531 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: any movies whatsoever, but he could watch this one and 532 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: know what's going on because it's a guy with the 533 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: gun shooting bad guys. Not hard to understand. But what 534 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,959 Speaker 1: is different about this movie is it it's so violent 535 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: and intense and shot in a way then I really 536 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: haven't seen before, because there's almost sequences of action where 537 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: it feels like one entire shot in one fail swoop. 538 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: So it goes from this advantage point of seeing Chris 539 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: Hem's worth with a gun taking out these bad guys, 540 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: but you follow him like with him, like you're right 541 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: behind him, and the camera just moves in this kind 542 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: of way where it never kind of cuts between scenes, 543 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: which isn't something I haven't seen since maybe like nineteen seventeen, 544 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: which is all shot and one continuous shot. It's not 545 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: to that extreme, but I think it gives this a 546 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: whole different feel of the action, and that's very apparent 547 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: within like the first maybe thirty forty minutes of this 548 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: where it's so intense and it goes from him being 549 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: like inside a building to all of a sudden you 550 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: follow him falling out and fighting in the streets. So 551 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: the violence in this is so brutal, and I think 552 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: that kind of cinematographery aspect kind of gives it that 553 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: whole other level of Okay, this movie is a bit 554 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: of a step up, and it's not just your running 555 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: the male action movie. I think that gives it so 556 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: much more of an authentic feel and it just doesn't 557 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: feel like some slap to get their action movie. And 558 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: I think that it's partly due to the director and 559 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: also the Russo brothers who are in this as well. 560 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: And I think Chris hess Worth is pretty good in this. 561 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: He's a really great action story like aside from being 562 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, thor that we love is being funny but 563 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: also um heroic on the screen and being seen as 564 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: somebody who can you know, take someone down. I think 565 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: he's a really great action storry and we haven't seen 566 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: that a whole lot from him, so that was kind 567 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: of cool to see. But it's a very brutal movie. 568 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: There's some really intense parts where like you almost not 569 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: expect him to go there like literally like throwing children 570 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: off of a building. It's pretty crazy. But also there's 571 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: the thing, I guess it's kind of a trend now 572 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: in movies, and I guess it's kind of, I don't know, 573 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: the cool thing to do in action movies, but head shots, 574 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: like straight up shooting people in the head is kind 575 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: of a an extreme action movies they're taking right now 576 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: because it's it's very dramatic and it's very like old 577 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: Crab that really happened, and no matter how you shoot 578 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 1: it and how you present it, that's gonna be an 579 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: intense thing to watch. So there are some head shots 580 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: in this movie that are pretty brutal in it it 581 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: almost goes on like I guess maybe john Wick kind 582 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: of started out of the kind of intense, bloody violence 583 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: for sometimes no reason, and this one, I feel it 584 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: has a little bit more of a purpose because it 585 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: is kind of an a war zone situation and it's 586 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: a little far fetched. It's not as far fetched as 587 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: like john Wick, but I mean, how you're gonna expect 588 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: one guy to take out essentially an entire army of 589 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: people without it be a little crazy. So in that aspects, 590 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: maybe it's a little unrealistic and maybe a kind of 591 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: action not cheesy but cliche in a bit, But I 592 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: thought the action was great in it. Overall, the story 593 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't really need much until like the very end, 594 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: you maybe get a little more of what you want 595 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: from it. But I think throughout the entire movie you're 596 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 1: pretty invested in it, and it's one where the action 597 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: is pretty NonStop and you care about it till the 598 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: very end. So I know, in the sceentire episode I've 599 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: been talking about movies and bad endings, I think this 600 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: one actually has a great ending and it keeps you 601 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: invested until that final scene. So if you're looking for 602 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: something to watch in your house right now on Netflix 603 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,719 Speaker 1: into action movies, I think this is a pretty good 604 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: one for you if you're into that. I give it 605 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: four out of five rounds of ammunition for sure. I 606 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: think a lot of that, like I said, has to 607 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: do with the way it's shot, in the way it looks, 608 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: in the way it feels, but also that it's just 609 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: NonStop action and it was something for me to watch 610 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: and be able to take my brain off of anything, 611 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: and the fact that I really like the fact that 612 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: Netflix is putting out these bigger action movies right now. 613 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty good space for them to 614 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: work in because I think sometimes an action movies that's 615 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: something that really gets me to go to a theater 616 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: as much. And the fact that we can have this 617 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: in our home now, where you have people like Chris 618 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: Hemsworth and Mark Wahlberg doing these kind of movies that 619 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: you can just watch on Netflix, like, that's a pretty 620 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: great thing. So I think it's worth checking out. I 621 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: did hear they're gonna make a sequel to this in 622 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: the works already, um so that could be pretty cool. 623 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a good action we with 624 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: essentially thor killing bad guys, I'd say check out Extraction. 625 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for this week.
