21 Grams

Awesome movie I just watched it last night. From the beginning til the end it felt like a fucking rollercoaster.
Crazy how it flips all around from different points in the characters story, a little confusing, but it all comes together in the end
I liked this way better than Crash, very similar, but this was a little more gritty
And Naomi Watts

The motivations of pretty much all of the charicters seemed totally contrived and unrealistic.

DVDfab has a free version and will copy everything, and DVD shrink doesn't work by itself on all movies, but will shrink anything that DVDfab ripped.
So, I can get 'em all, and the software was free.
DVD burners are cheap now too.

I'm going to get the better version of DVD fab soon and I wont even need dvd shrink anymore.
You can get USB or firewire dvd burners, but why not just swap your cd burner or whatever you have for a dvd burner? dvd burners burn cds too. External is more expensive and less reliable too.

21 grams was one of the most boring nonsensical movies I've seen in years. It tries to be clever by mixing up the story lines of what otherwise would be a truly boring story. So it takes half the movie just to get any idea of what's going on.

By the list you just made I'm surprised you didnt like this movie.
Memento and Magnolia weren't the easiest movies to comprehend.
especially when it started raining frogs wtf

At least Memento has some chronology to it, even though it was backwards.
21g was just random flash forwards and flashbacks
But there's no arguing tastes..

Pulp Fiction was great and it really wasn't that confusing to me atleast
Great acting can only lift a crappy storyline so far

If you think that Memento was played "backwards", then I suggest you watch the movie again and pay special attention to the split of color / b%w scenes...

Oh yeah there is also another storyline spliced in where it's not clear if it's his history, a story or just a delusion.

When i saw 21 grams, i thought " Eh.. that was okay ". It was one of those movie that had the potential of being great, but somewhere along the way fell flat on its ass.
-------------------- No point in mentioning these bats, I thought. Poor bastard will see them soon enough "There's a uh, big machine in the sky, some kind of, I dunno, electric snake, coming straight at us." "Shoot it." "Not yet, I want to study its habits. "

Well thats up for interpretation, as everyone sees that movie differently.
The black and white scenes play from the beginning of the movie and end at the very middle of the story. The color scenes play from the very end of the movie to the middle, where it meshes in with the opposite set of scenes.
Every time I watch that movie I catch something I didn't see before and it completely changes my whole perception of the story. Good movie.

That happens to me too. Might have to watch it again. The first time I didn't notice that they all spit in his drink at the bar
