Did you know that Oz is meant to be a real place in the book?

What spoiler did I give away. That there is text on the screen at the end of Unbreakable? I am sorry if that ruined the movie.

Oh by the way, Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father.

Edit:

Putting your foot in your mouth (accidentally saying something that causes embarrassment or harm)

I see what you did there. You were not ragging on me, just prefacing your nonspoiler tags.

Then you'll definately not like the movie Sideways. Though its personally one of my favorites.

Sideways was great. The four leads gave great performances.

Neat the ending of The Hunt For Red October:

Invasion with Nicole Kidman was the last movie I saw that had a cop out Hollywood ending. The Donald Sutherland movie was so much better.

I always thought that the end of Man on Fire was a cop out. With the girl being alive. It wasn't as dark. It seemed safer and ruined the rage that he had, for me anyways.

The ending is so intimate...

I thought it was appropriate.

Did not know that. I've always said i'd get around to reading the actual book someday, but never have. How did they manage to make it a "real" place? Did the bump on her head allow her to time travel or seek alternate dimensions?

Wow, a reference to the 1966 Batman with Adam West.
