wow, I never thought I would get the chance to say that a love story was more dull then the one in "the dark tower 4: wizard and glass", but this takes the cake. its even got less of an impact then the last part of hans alfredsons book "the long nose on the law" wich is a short story colection of dark comedy/crime with the last one about a guy watching someone he loves commit suicide without beign able to stop it. why this deserves its own topic is beyond me.

Because it's fucking brilliant, that's why. It's the first thing since My Immortal that made me tear up, and this time it wasn't because of sheer hilarity.

Because it's cool. I never noticed until everyone pointed it out but you really do hate everything that anybody likes for reasons that could apply to literally anything ever, making them completely moot criticisms that come across as pointless trolling. And then there's like, two things ever that you do find cool and they're the same as everything you bitch about

well, there is the love between Eddie dean and Odetta Holmes from the 2nd ad 3rd dark tower books, the complicated love between Carrot ironfudersson (a human that grew up in a drawf comunity ) and Angua von Übervald( a wherewolf) in the discworld books, the qliche forbidden romace between christian and satine in moulin rouge!, the one that takes place in " the butterfly of tibet( being about a man chosen to lead the armies of hell and his struggle to reach his wife before the end of the world), the love between newt and bueller in aliens: outbreak and the love between Johnny and sarah in the begining of the Dead zone.
is that enough our should I continue?

well, its not really "fucking brilliant" compared to eider love stories,my Immortal or stop motion animation in general, except if the stop motion is of really bad quality, but then you could call most stuff compared to it " fucking brilliant"./while I wouldn't call the quality of this short bad, the story are nothing to write home about.)

lol, who is everyone? And I don't really hate everything, I don't hate amnesia, I just think its fails as a horror game and playing it is like watching a B-movie and skullgirls charatcher designs are a bit meh and it fails as a multiplayer game in general but could probably give you some sort of enjoyment playing it alone, a miracle could probably save the american movie industry in general and american comedy in particular, wich basicly leaves the fact that you on principle hates Phill Jupitus and some nit-picking about mortasheen monsters together with the video that started this forum post on the things that I hate.

Wortcov, out of honest curiosity, what didn't you like about it? You say "It was worse than both this and this!" but frankly that tells us nothing. If you really hate it that's perfectly alright, nobody can please everybody and maybe this genuinely didn't please you. It's no skin off my nose, but because I have a differing opinion I would like to know what saw (or didn't see) in it that made you hate it.
To start the dialogue (if we get one) I'll do my best to defend my stance:
I felt that stylistically the film (especially in the first half) conveys a profound sense of loneliness, for both characters, which is important to the story. It moves slowly in the beginning but I feel that the lonely effect would be lost if it wasn't. It also manages to make the viewer have ambiguous feelings towards the male character. He is clearly the protagonist but he is seen raiding a dead woman's belongings and putting her corpse under his bed. At the same time he does these things clearly because of the aforementioned loneliness, as he only takes a photograph to place with his own and he places her body with deliberate care. The film intends to make the characters both disturbing and sympathetic to viewers, and does so very well in my opinion. The end is much the same, the half-rotten, maggot-woman crawling out from under the bed. initially there is almost a feeling of dread but it fluidly transitions to a much more peaceful air as the maggot-woman crawls to the bedside, clearly wanting to end her loneliness as well. Overall I think the guy who made this knew what he was doing and does it very well. It's fun when the bad guy wins and the ending is creepy but happy endings aren't so bad when well-executed.
Again you are free to tell me I'm wrong and to tell me how I'm wrong, but whatever the case I would very much like to hear your take on it, and I mean that without any hint of sarcasm.
