Most annoying thing ever: Not being able to watch the last 2 minutes of a movie...

In the Butterfly Effect, in the very last two minutes of the theatrical version have been scratched off the bloody Blockbuster DVD. So now I gotta go back to Blockbuster, exchange it (we got that Movie Pass thing...very nice...), and come back to watch two minutes.

I had a similar problem with the final 15 minutes of "The Village." Renting from Blockbuster is the video equivalnet of Russian Roulette.

You aren't missing much. The movie sucked, the ending was a cop out.

I know this guy who watched all of Fight Club except for the last 15 minutes where he switched it off because "it was bullshit, it didn't make sense" :D


Idiot :rolleyes:

I didn't like Fight Club either. It was violent and hypocritical, and it seriously didn't make a whole lot of sense.

The movies allright. Kinda liked how he brainwashed everybody into doing terrorism. :)

What I find more irritating, is a fantastic show, but then the last episode, it's suddenly a botched up lame ass ending that doesn't make any senes. (Usually happens to anime's).

I saw it 3 times in the theatre, and own the DVD.

The first time, I didn't know what to make of it. So I went and saw it again. I got SOOOOO much more out of it, I saw it a 3rd time. And then got even MORE out of it. It's one of those movies that you get out of it what you put into it.

It's also a little like The Passion of the Christ -- you NEED to see it in the theatre. At home, where you can talk or fast forward or be distracted, you lose something.

I know something worse.

The last chapter in a book getting messed up before you finish it.

I knew an ex-cop who told me the staff sergeant in charge of the cells in the town we were in who always and very carefully tore out the last couple of pages of every book available for the prisoners to read.
What an evil bastard!

The first time I watched 'Boogie Nights' was on video. Perfectly fine up until the final scene where he flops it out to talk to it. The tape was absolutely buggered by everyone b4 me who had hired it pausing it at that point.
Which is kinda weird and a bit sad really. Doesn't say much about the 'length of men' in that town. ;)

BTW I don't come from that town and I have very big hands, thank you very much. :)
