[Sir Squid Diddimus]

this movie?

Butterfly effect fucking pwns! 

number23 was monkeywank

[AFK]

Wasn't that Ashton Kutcher's "serious" movie?

At the end of it I was left with the moral that it would have been better if the movie had never been made.

"Dude, What's My Line?"

eh, it sounded funny in my head.

Wow.  if # 23 is this bad, I'll have to go rent it!

It's all become one big clusterfuck of similar plot twists. "Oh dear, I seem to have been dead all along", or "so, if we're two people then which one of us is me if we exist anyway?" and plenty of variations along those lines.

Precisely why I hate the majority of the movies coming out these days.  They take the style of plot twist that worked good in Fight Club and maybe a few other earlier movies (I'm sure there may be others but I can't think off the top of my head) and have just beat it to death. 

So sure, I liked The Number 23 until about 10 minutes in when I realized "Oh hey! This movie's gonna end with the same stupid twist that every other movie is leeching off of!! Can't wait!"

"No, Jim Carey, YOU are the killer."

And Jim Carey was the killer.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Yes. Yes, exactly.

I love how quickly the internets twist sayings...

I looked at this and was like, how is the # 23 a tarp?

OK, this actually made me chuckle aloud.

The plot twist at the end of Fight Club was blatantly inspired by Persona which was made back in 1966 I think.

The plot twist at the end of Fight Club was blatantly inspired by every other suspense movie ever made.

"No, Edward. You are Tyler Durden"
And then Edward was a zombie.

The difference in Fight Club is that it wasn't obvious 1/4 through the movie.

[Xooxe]

I didn't mean it in a bad way. It just seemed obvious to me, and I think it was done on purpose maybe.

Edit, because I think I misread your post due to the imaginary tone of voice in my head. Yay.

I haven't seen every other suspense movie ever made.
