Your Highness, just an ordinary comedy with sexjokes.
I dunno. I wasn’t aware they had multiple theatrical endings. Though…
I saw the one where the demon possessed Katie, sat up and stared at Meeka an extended period of time, drew off the sheets, walked downstairs and with a deathly shrill, screamed his name. He then rushed downstairs only to be met with a sudden silence. Next thing you see, is his body flying into the camera.
Apparently the ending was changed for it to be shown in theatres. That was the theatrical ending (I think I read that it was suggested by Spielberg). I’m not going to post the other two endings here but look them up. I think that ending is kind of cheesy.
There’s an ending where she sit at the bed for 2 days rocking back and forth and then the police come to the house for some reason. The police officers walks upstairs and sees her and she get up and starts walking towards them asking “Where is Micah? Where is Micah?” and the police panic and shoot her.
That’s the one I saw and I think it’s the original.
That’s the one that I didn’t see. I saw the one where [color=Black]after sitting in bed for 2 days she cuts her throat.
I thought it was a pretty pointless movie, and questionable military-ism. Like when the Marines mix up “Grenade” and “Frag out”… Which happened at least once.
I wouldn’t know all the details of authenticity though.
I said “military-looking tactics” which is far from “total military realism”, and yet still a few steps up from movies like House of the Dead 2 (a block-ops type threw down his fully loaded unused rifle to fight a zombie hand to hand).
I want to use other examples of movies that get it completely wrong, but honestly all I can think of with military personnel is that, Mars Attacks (intentionally stupid), War of the Worlds (remake), and Them. Not a great cross section of movies there…
There’s this Navy Seals movie that’s coming out soon that I saw a trailer for when I went to watch another movie that said it shows fictional military missions based on real ones or real tactics. I think it looks pretty cool. Not sure what the name is but it has Valor in it.
^ The trailer I saw had “JOIN THE ARMY NOW” written all over it.
Actually this and “GUNS AND EXPLOSIONS FUCK YEAH”.
It was about the Navy Seals though…
Well, excuuuuse me sir and let me rephrase it:

Well those endings would totally destroy the continuity of the sequel, which I saw just last night. Pretty good. Certainly had its moments, but it lost its mysterious allure because you already know what’s going on, so therefore you’re expecting things to happen. I’m glad they had less useless tongue wagging. The end result was better for it, and as a result, I had more of a vested interest in the characters.
Apparently ‘Micah’ is spelled like that, yet pronounced like ‘Meeka’.
The original ending (which I think is the one that I mentioned) probably was not shot with making a sequel in mind.
Just finished Limitless I enjoyed it. The end left me a bit dissatisfied though.
I agree with that. I feel like Limitless could have had a great ending with poetic justice, but in the end [COLOR=‘Black’]he just beats the system because that’s how awesome this drug is. To me it felt like it was building up to something different, maybe an ending where [COLOR=‘Black’]he actually learns a big lesson or dies saving someone or something. With their ending it almost seems like they were saying that abusing the drug was ok because everything will work out in the end. Seemed like a happy ending for the sake of a happy ending, when a different one would have been more appropriate.
That’d be Immortals. It blew dick, it held Greek mythology down and raped it in the ass, none of the gods did ANYTHING related to their area of patronage, the action was overdone and humorously dramatic. None of what the characters did or said had any consequence, which I guess wasn’t a problem since the characters were too stupid and/or boring to care about in the first place.
And they completely fucked up Theseus’ story. It’s a sword and a pair of sandals, god damn, not a bow.
But it had cool fight scenes :3 .
Also, I think it was Poseidon that jumped into the ocean and caused that wave but, yeah, that was it. I didn’t even know which god was which most of the time.
I assumed as much, considering that your descriptions all included Katie’s death in one form or another.
