K-PAX the pseudo religious good timey Kevin Spacey flick

[jobycom]

Was it any good?

[Warren DeMontague]

1. No.

[merwin]

12. I thought it was pretty good. What didn't you like about it?

[Warren DeMontague]

25. It struck me as more than a bit hokey. Maybe I was feeling cynical when I

watched it, it was a while ago.

Ditto what is said below on "Man Facing Southeast". I'm usually partial to the little-known original before the Hollywood re-do.

2. See "Man Facing Southeast" instead

An Argentinian film from the 80's that it's based on; far, far superior to K-Pax..

[enigmatic]

5. Couldn't sleep

We're ok, just banged up a little:)

But man, I need a beer...

6. You will probably experience a little PTS

I had it after my accident.....

It passes......

[enigmatic]

8. There's somebody I want to go PTS on!

But I'm a lover, not a fighter:)

[WCGreen]

10. I bet......

Did she get a ticket

[enigmatic]

14. Got cited

It was open and shut, so we're not worried..

[WCGreen]

15. Good, now think about something else

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. PTS: Post traumatic stress??

I'm guessing that's what it is since PTSD is post traumatic stress disorder...:shrug:

[murielm99]

7. I am glad you are both okay.

[enigmatic]

9. Thanks

:)

4. The last time someone told me the original foreign film was better than

the American remake, I spent one of the worst evenings of my life watching Wings of Desire. I think I'll pass on both this time.

[CanuckAmok]

11. are you serious?!

Wings of Desite is one of my favourite movies ever. No...it IS my favourite movie ever!

You can't possibly say you prefer that American good-timey remake better... is tha what you're saying?

[enigmatic]

13. Wim Wenders is da man

What a great film..

[jobycom]

19. Now I know not to watch the Brazilian thingie, too!

[CanuckAmok]

20. Actually, that's the only Wenders film I like.

Yipes! Sorry to hear about your accident!

"on metal, on tarmac, on skin & bonebonebonebone..."

[enigmatic]

22. Thanks bro

We're fine, and it was time to replace the car anyway; just got a head start on it, I guess..

[jobycom]

18. God damn right that's what I'm saying

I tend to like movies that actually have a plot, rather than a couple of people picking up a book of pretentious poetry and reading it as though they are saying something while pretending there's a movie happening around them. Would have rathered watch wrestling or something. Well, maybe not wrestling. Happy Days, or Rachel Ray, or This Old House.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. I'm so glad to see you tonight, my dear enigmatic!

I'm so sorry about your accident; I'm also glad that your car absorbed most of the damage, and not you or your wife...Of course, it's bad enough about the car!

It is replaceable; you and your wife are NOT... :grouphug: :pals:

[enigmatic]

23. Thanks Peggy

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. I've heard that it is good...

But I can't say for sure, since I never saw it..But I do love Kevin Spacey! I'd be willing to see ANYTHING that man was in! He's one HOT dude...

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[KT2000]

24. I liked it

But I didn't think it was very religious or good timey, probably more the opposite.
I would watch it again.
