- Geewiz! I thought the movie was first class! I mean, since when did a
- movie have to "make sense" for it to be good? I really thought it was
- a very refreshing change from your run-of-the-mill stupid American movie
- with the tediously predictable happy, see-how-you-HAVE-got-your-money's-worth,
- clear-cut, logical, and very sensical ending. Talk about a waste of
- time: an ending that disgusted me and just made me give up on American
- movies was that movie with what's his name Tom Cruise (I think) in that
- movie about an Irish (or Scottish, or I don't know what) immigrant.
- Talk about a waste of time, and just a condescending ending: there's
- a ridiculously empty-headed, mercantile ending that just slighted my
- intelligence and made me groan.
