The Box

I just saw this movie tonight. It was really fucking bad. I can honestly say that hardly any of it made the slightest bit of logical sense. The art direction was really good. Other than that, it was a complete waste of time.

Did anyone else see this piece of shit?

good, i hope donnie darko guy never makes another movie

i am never going to see this... can you make a spoiler tag and tell me what the twist is? who dies? is there some moral?

well, of course it was awful. you're a brave soul for giving it a go, though

It's fucking stupid. There are no explantions why.

lol, wat

but does it ever say who dies when they push the button? or should I just stop asking questions right here...

Exactly what I was going to post.

What a great fucking song. Never realized it was Tilda Swinton in the video before now.

I saw the box too. Didn't found it especially good but not particulary bad either. At least it has the merit of being an original movie, unlike the average american blockbuster.

there was so much hype for that movie and it ended up being the biggest, most expensive disaster ever. nothing about it made any sense

what company would ever trust him again to be in charge of a project? he's probably a master of working the movie-biz politics

i enjoyed southland tales, i think its a much better film than donnie darko

uh, i don't think so,, this is a remake of the short from a mid-80's Twilight Zone tv episode,,,.

The Box is a 2009 horror film based on the 1970 short story "Button, Button" by Richard Matheson, which was previously adapted into an episode of the 1980s incarnation of The Twilight Zone

ive never seen a single episode of the 1980s Twlight zone, is it any good?

hahaha. Southland Tales is the only film i have ever walked out on. we laughed at everyone who was still watching it as we walked out XD

thats the only movie youve ever walked out of?

off the top of my head i've walked out of: Sin City, What Dreams May Come, Mission Impossible 2, and Return of the King

yeah, first and only time! maybe in some other crazy universe, it would've been the second time had i've seen mission impossible 2 at the cinemas. sin city isn't that bad.. and you HAVE to see lord of the rings at the cinemas. i dunno why but ... you have to man!

I walked out on the original bad lieutenant. I was a sensitive lad.

wtf that's like a list of my favorite movies of all time.

almost on topic.. yesterday at this oldschool cinema in melbourne they played all 3 lord of the rings back to back on the big screen. i was half tempted to go just for a giggle, but i knew the lolz would quickly wear thin after a few hours or so :D

i grew to like the lotr movies , but when i saw return of the king in the theatre i couldn't handle the seemingly endless fadeouts
