White Noise
 
I saw this movie last night. Let me tell you this, above all else. I had High hopes for this movie, with a topic of this magnitude, you can't mess it up. I'm serious, like, it was such a good idea, and such a strong subject, hwo could you mess it up?

Well, they did.

I'm not saying I didn't like a good majority of the movie. I did. But there's parts that just ruined the whole experience. It taked 45 minutes before you even hear a voice from the dead. Ok, I let that slide. The middle of the movie is the great part about this, it's really all about the super natural, and the dead, and there's some good jump-parts. But then it starts coming to an end. And You'll feel great, you'll be in the position to love this movie. Then You see the end..... You'll feel so used, so cheap, cheaper than a Hooker in NYC. You won't understand the end. Don't try, you'll only end up getting a head ache.

What bugged me the most, was the fact that they spent the entire first half of the film explaining the people, and the idea of 'White Noise', but at the end, they decided not to explain anything.

Spoiler:
They kill off Micheal Keaton, within 3 seconds, they dont explain why, or the three figures....Why?

Aww, I really wanted to see this... I had such high hopes for it.


...Well, maybe I'll still see it. I dunno. Maybe the cheap theater. Hehe. ;) :)

The middle of the movie is really good.

Aw man... I had high hopes for this flick, too. But if the ending is as terrible as you say it is, maybe I'll just wait for a DVD rental. I don't like walking out of a theater without any sort of closure.

I agree with everything Brodie said.

Movie was great until the credits rolled.

Also, here's a photo of supposed "white noise."

And I'm surprised Michael Keaton still has a career, I haven't seen him in anything since 1998.

I remember thinking while watching White Noise "If he has the Batman suit in his closet, this will save the movie."

Heads up:

He doesn't.

That does it. I'll be waiting for the DVD for sure now. :lol:

I don't know if it's authentic, but it's certainly a freaky idea. If some strange dead person ever decides to show up on my TV, I won't hesitate to destroy it (the TV, not the dead person...).

1) Brodie obviously missed the A)Bat signal in the night sky near the middle of the movie.

B) the 1989 Batmobile parked on the street in the beginning.

C) the Adam West cameo in the office building.


Also, Azure. When and if stuff like that does happen, you don't notice it. You will never see a dead man on your television screen. Put down the shotgun...it's ok. Shhhh...

Brodie 01-09-2005 11:07 AM

You're only telling me that so I go back and spend another 8 bucks on the movie....

Oh, okay. So stuff like that only appears when people take pictures? And I'm keeping the shotgun. It stops those meddling kids and their dog from getting into my front yard.

I saw this movie on friday and it was horrible. I was really excited about Michael Keatons return to the big screen, but alas, I was dissapponted.
