Whoa I just watched the car chase and ending, yeah nah, that reminds me of The Hitcher (1986 not the terrible 2007 remake), the kind of movie that could actually happen, and there would be nothing you can do about it! Terrifying stuff! Since I'm planning some more road tripping around the States, I won't watch the whole movie right now!
As for Zoe, oh man she's brave, no way I'd do that, but I'd kill for that arse!
Off to see hidden figures tonight, using up the last of the gold class tickets hubby got for his birthday last year, I reckon I'll be asleep in 15 mins! I wanted to see XXX the return of Xander Cage, not sure how I copped to this instead!

OK, lay it out for me. Is the whole thing (writing the novel, sending it to his ex and then standing her up at dinner) just an act of revenge on Edward's part? Because if so, that's just about the most ridiculous premise I've ever heard.

Did you see it coming or were you expecting happy ever after?
I think she did and so did most of audience.
Did she deserve it though?
I don't think so.
The film is about the consequences of decisions and feelings of loss by the actions of others.

I didn't know what to expect! I don't mind a film leaving me puzzled (in fact, some of the best films do leave questions unanswered), but I just find that explanation by far the most likely one and also totally bizarre. I mean, what kind of revenge is standing up someone at a bar? And if we're to buy this concept, does that mean that the novel is supposed to be a metaphor for their relationship (because if so, ookay, being broken up with is totally comparable to your wife and daughter being raped and killed!)?swoop42 wrote:Really?David wrote:OK, lay it out for me.

I downloaded La La Land for my mum but she didn't think it was anything special.
I haven't seen it so I could be wrong but it strikes me as one of those movies that critics love because it's celebrating the world in which the live of Hollywood and how wonderfully fabulous they all are (or so they think).

I just read the synopsis for nocturnal animals on wiki, sounds like they got married, she didn't think much of his writing ability, she cheated, left him, aborted his baby so she was free to marry the new guy, he gets really upset, channels that in to a reallly really nasty book, he send her a copy to 1, prove he has talent, and 2, scare her a bit! She takes a look in the mirror, realises she's not a very nice person, arranges to meet him to get closure or something, but he has filled the hole in his soul, and moves on!
The fat women are probably symbolising all those apparently unhappily married plumpish housewives that cheat and go to the doctor Phil show to feel normal about their crappy lives!
Ps I love Jake, but I wouldn't watch that movie!
