Even He Got Game which was mostly weak as piss had a good ending I thought.
He got games ending is one of the worst ever. He throws the ball over the prison wall and it bounces into the gym where ray allen is shooting. SYMBULIZM IZ DEEP.

Do the right thing did end well though. Inside man ended decently too, if I recall. But pretty much every other one just either flew of the rails or got incredibly corny and heavy handed. Have you seen Girl 6? holy shit...the last hour of that is a nightmare.
Oh shit I got it mixed up with Life where that dude runs cross the gun line, that is actually shit. Forgotten Girl 6 but it was all turrible iirc

:lol:

Here is what I don't get why is Bay now synonymous with trash yet no one talks shit about Abrams being a hack director. Abrams will never make a movie as good as the Rock and Bumblebee from the transformers was better then Super 8.

call it what you want. i think boogie nights is a very enjoyable watch & i would rather watch than any QT movie any day of the week. QT is talented, but different people are attracted to different things
