: 1. What type of movie endings do you like? (Brutal reality, the Hollywood happy, etc...) * generally the more realistic sort, with a teaser of what possibly happened afterwards...
: 2. What is your favorite movie that gives you that SPECIFIC type of ending that you so-enjoy? *...so glad you asked! Y'know like in Raising Arizona - H.I's little dream at the end was cool.
: 3. What movie ending irks you so bad that you practically want to claw your eyes out? *Most stupid slushy Hollywood endings wind me up. If you've paid to see a cheesy film or an out and out romance its excuseable, but what I really hate is when they kill a decent, gripping film by giving it a happy crappy ending.
: 4. How would you have seen that movie (as mentioned in question 3) end, if you had the power to do so? *I don't have a particular example in mind, mostly I'd have the main characters go home alone to a cold beer, a tv dinner and their faithful pet cat - y'know realistic, slightly depressing, but life goes on and its not so bad type stuff.
: 5. Have you ever walked out of a theatre, not even caring WHAT the movie ended like, and asked for your money back? What movie? *Yeah, I took my son to see The Emporer's New Groove - it sucked so bad when I suggested we leave he was out in the foyer already!
