I can watch it tonight on Amazon on Demand and push Troy back.

Would you recommend me doing that since they are both your recommendations?

I'm intruiged now!

You giving me far less grace than I actually have, I can search for clues while watching the film (

[Show spoiler]I could tell she was going to wind up being the killer just by looking at the poster with out knowing anything of the story for Christ sake

, I'm not a dumb teen boy)

Plus I still stand by, first 30 mins (mainly the stuff involving the Yacht) are abysmal

Sorry to offend. I guess none of it really matters though since she is

[Show spoiler]in a coma. But I have to wonder, if she is in a coma, why does she repeat the loop? Because of the guilt for killing her son in a REAL car wreck? NOW I have to wonder, if the car wreck was real, why was she driving around with another one of herself in the trunk? And why was there a dead Jess at the car wreck and one that walked away? If its a dream inside a coma, why does she dream about all the other versions of herself? If she feels guilty about her sons death, why does she dream about killing all those other innocent people?

Wait, I thought Troy was already pushed back a week.

It was originally going to be this coming Friday.

I attempted to push it up to yesterday, but it didn't work out and I needed to watch Aviator instead, so Troy went back to the original time.


But....that is irrelevant now, as I checked and How to Train Your Dragon isn't available for rental on Amazon or PSN, so I can watch Frozen tonight and then Troy next weekend. Then get to HTTYD eventually when it is made available.

Like I said, more answers than questions.

[Show spoiler]I must have missed the part she was in a coma. I'm definitely going to rewatch this.

I say take your pick based on YOUR mood TODAY. Gladiators and warfare or college students stuck on a ski lift. You pick. I love them both.

It's ok, I guess it just comes across slightly patronizing, like I said, I have only really watched it once, so it's hard to piece everything together, and I only watched it about 30 mins ago, I never really thought about the stuff you brought up, mainly because the film never brings it to up front attention, I guess you could say it's full of hidden meaning, but is never thrusted upon you and never gets in the way of the story.

OH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Show spoiler]99% of us do NOT think its a coma. I and many others believe it is all really happening and it not in her mind, not a dream, not crazy etc. ALL those questions I posed to Foggy were just based on his belief that she is in one. I am trying to get him to see that there is more to it than he suspects, but he has perceived that as if I am talking down to him, which I am not.The only way for him to appreciate the film is by doing what you are doing, TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. And, to come up with a workable solution. Frankly the coma angle has a million holes in it. Most of us here have been able to support our theories with good, fun evidence.

Carry on.

You and I have extremely different interpretations of the word "abysmal".

Oh I dont care about hidden meanings. I just had fun trying to put it all together in a logical structure or puzzle. I, personally wasnt satisfied to sit back and accept it as an ambiguous "art film". I really thought the director was trying to put forward a complicated tale/riddle/puzzle that COULD be solved if one chose to invest the time to analyze it. (Surfedude ) He actually gives us all the pieces, we just have to assemble thwm in the proper sequence.

In other words, I dont think its a throwaway piece.

The Acting and dialoge are really bad, I almost turned it off.

I strongly disagree. To me, this is abysmal.

I don't think it's a throwaway piece either, it's very intricately put together, it makes sense on first viewing, but one second viewing I'm sure I will pick up on more, and will make me go, didn't notice that, that's snazzy, I just think meaning is being thrown into it more than it seems, it's open for interpretation.

I'm debating on what to watch tonight and am tempted to watch Frozen on BD now. Hmm...

Now that is talking down to me

That literally popped of the top of my head, the worst thing I was going to reply with was that the entire film is a drawn out metaphor, but then I realized I would hate it if it was all that.
