I watched this again today, and I was reminded on how much I enjoyed it. Great ending.

The Prestige
"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."
"They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."
"I like to bike. I could beat Lance Armstrong, only because he couldn't pass me if he was behind me."

Given that I am a disturbed person, this would explain my gravitation to the same.Originally posted by doctorcoug View PostI thought it was a unique story, which was refreshing. I also think it was a disturbing end."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

Meh. Cop-out ending, IMO.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Pirates of the Carribean was much like The Matrix to me. Stunning opening chapter, that went straight down the toilet with Vol 2 and Vol 3 was an abomination.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostDon't feel bad. I did that once with Keira Knightley and YOhio humiliated me for it.

+1 on both series.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View PostPirates of the Carribean was much like The Matrix to me. Stunning opening chapter, that went straight down the toilet with Vol 2 and Vol 3 was an abomination.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

I watched this again the other night. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
One thing that bothered me, however, was the part where Angier's wife drowns in the tank. Why didn't they unlock the tank at the top and pull her out? They spent all that time trying to crack the tank with the ax and could have just unlocked the tank the way they showed. It was a plot-advancing mistake to be sure, but it didn't matter what knot was tied.
Still a fun movie.

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
