Meet Joe Black

[Blanton 170]

Watched this movie for the first time tonight and the ending was...ambiguous?

Can someone give me some sparknotes?

gracias

Death didn’t care, had sex.

[HouTex 1867]

Forlani and Pitt finally get together after Pitt's body was occupied by the Grim Reaper for several days while the GR followed Forlani's dad (Hopkins) around to learn about life. All that was after Pitt and Forlani met at a coffee shop and then later, while his body was occupied by the GR, Pitt and Forlani had sex.

I like the way Forlani whispers.

[Sleepygrad 1029]

This was after Forlani’s dad had auctioned her off on a dating show in the mall.

[Don Johnson 4753]

That movie was 20 years ago.  How long has Anthony Hopkins looked 70?

[Doc Holliday 199]

for 20 years

[Drew 2409]

Surprisingly rewatchable movie.

[South Austin 52511]

This was another excellent Thomas Newman movie score.  And I really liked Jeffrey Tambor's character.  The movie is corny in some places, but I liked it.

[DougO 5250]

I don't even remember the ending, just that it seemed decent at the time, though I don't think it got rave reviews. The chick was hot, probably carried me through most of it.

Never seen mallrats, but otherwise agree.  She was great to watch in the corny movie about Bobby Jones.  I watch it every time it's on.

Ok what was death’s ultimate goal? Just to experience what it’s like to be a human being? 

I just found it bizarre that Brad Pitt’s body’s original host (that was weird to type) returned after Death and Hopkins cross the bridge (to represent the afterlife?)

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

It did well at the box office due to the Phantom Menace trailer running before it.  What an ass time to be alive.

That's what I got out of it.  IIRC, in the early scene with Hopkins Death explains that he wants time with Hopkins to experience what it means to alive, and I suppose, human, and in return Hopkins gets to live a bit longer.

Yes, Pitt coming back to life at the end was a huge stretch.  He surely was killed in the accident after the coffee shop, but he's good as new after Death gets his body after several days.  I guess we are supposed to believe that Death can heal his body if he chooses.

[RomaVicta 29908]

I don't think I got all the way through it. Didn't care about anybody in it.

[Saint Tacky 1614]

That movie was like climbing Guadalupe Peak.  There were about five times I thought we had reached the end but it just kept going.

They should have used the Heaven Can Wait method.

I always enjoyed how comical him being hit by the car looked.

[Underdog 28656]

Damn, didn't know it was a comedy.   Dudes reaction in the BG cracks me up. 

[futureman 22464]

I thought the movie was great.  I mean, if you screwed Forlani, wouldn't you want to take her back with you?

[DDD Dad 14339]

csb my little brother knows Claire.  He says she's dumb as a post.  That said she's very easy on the eyes.

[utee94 15824]

She has a brain?

I definitely watched this movie because she was in it.  Not at the theater of course, probably on HBO a couple years later.

[Mo Horn 8843]

One of my favorites, both the movie and Forlani... as you can tell by my avatar.

That movie’s end was bullshit too. Joe wasn’t supposed to die, fought through a bunch of shit, much of which was the heaven’s agents’ faults, and when he finally lands in ultimate body they strip his memory from him, effectively deleting the soul of Joe Pendleton from existence. Should have let old boy keep his memory.

Problem here? Prior to looking for a wife, these types were the best.
