You can't be serious :?

First of all, the movie was made that way to be entertaining to the widest possible audience.
Secondly, to want to kill yourself from watching a fictional movie is just idiotic.
And lastly, NEVER say you have nothing to look forward to, there is always something to look forward to, all you need to do is to find it.

Please don't talk about killing youself, people always have someone who cares about them.

Good luck

Movies that don't turn out the way you want is not a logical reason to kill yourself. It might make you sad, or upset that you wasted money on it, or remind you of something distasteful. But death is forever, and a bad movie is only 2 hours long.
You must find your own reasons/purposes to want to live, no one can do it for you. If you can not do this on your own, there are people trained to help you do so, as well as medications. There is always things to be done, and so on. But you have to find the will and reasons to do it. The reality is that for every great movie released, there are many mediocre ones and plenty of bad ones also released. This holds true for music and books, too. Choose the ones you like, disgard the rest.
But thanks for the warning--- I might wait for this one to come out on DVD now.

I'm not serious about the killing myself part, but I'm serious about the being depressed part.

When I was younger I remember feeling like movies (not all) were a whole world that was sort of known, familiar and comfortable... and if something messed up the fun or comfort (like a sequel that added something bad/distressing, or just messed up the "feel") it was like losing an entire world... or something like that. Erg, not sure how to explain that right...

Things that would get my mind off it would be to get absorbed into another one, i.e. sketch/"design" a city or an invention, build a map for a game, look through art books, read some fiction, etc.... It just would be kind of upsetting to "lose a world" like that (if that's what the original poster is experiencing, anyway -- maybe I'm nutty).


I identify with Apple_in_my_eye

People watching this topic should not be put off watching the movie. I found it rather enjoyable. :D

I welcome death... though that isn't quite the same.

I mean... I intend to embrace death, but only in its own time. No need to rush things and ruin the experience.

First off....jut because someone has money, fame or popularity does not mean that they are happy. If that were true you ouldn't see all these stars ending up divorced, in CD treatment or killing themselves. I am sure they also thought that once they had those things that everything would be great...life doesn't actually work that way.

Agreed.

Secondly...the reason we have painful feelings is the same reason our bodies experience physical pain...it is a warning system telling us that something need to change. When I have a rash my body is warning me that I should not expose it to certain chemicals or I have to much stress in my life. One is easier to "fix" for me then the other unfortunately. I can avoid Sulfa but I haven't been able to over come my anxiety reaction to the jobs I have to work to not end up homeless and even more stressed (chosing the leser of evil is the best I can do at this time).

I feel like my emotions, and to a lesser extent my physical pain sensors, are like those annoying car alarms that go off all the time for no apparent reason. Or maybe the boy who cried "wolf!" For me, and I would guess for MW99 and others here, it's hard to know when we have an emergency, when everything feels like an emergency. I don't remember getting that upset about a movie but I know there were times when I was just as upset about things that really didn't matter more than a movie.

...the depressed part is for real. I came out of the movie theater feeling depressed.


I know exactly how you feel. It'll pass.

As for the movie, as with all things, I will see it with low expectations ;) Unless it's a Uwe Boll movie, it's usually not half as bad as I think it will be.

Shame to hear it'll be full of CGI =/ I didn't see any in the trailers, and I was hoping that with Spielberg at the helm, at least what little there is will be incredibly tasteful (A.I. for example).

I see recent pictures of him and I can't recognize him at all...not to mention his voice change, and the huge decrease in lyrical quality...I'm almost convinced it's not really him, but a sneaky doppleganger ;)

it reminds me of that south park episode, in which george lucas and steven spielberg want to re-re-re-re-release the raiders of the lost ark or something, and at premiere everyone dies of the horribleness of the movie.

personally, I think or this movie is really bad,

or you need to snap out of it, and dont be so lame. you have reason to want to die when you have real problems, and not because of some stupid movie. like a few months ago, a french woman had an extremely rare disease that made horrible and painful tumors all over her face. she was 24/7 in agony, and she commited suicide a while ago. she, she has the right to do that. she had such a horrible problem that f****d her entire life up. I woulnd't call indiana jones such a problem, would you?

It's pretty impossible to generalize about one's self to deeply understand desperate feelings but, as a good many people on this site, I feel separate from society in general and have little sympathy for much of the absolute stupidity which seems to motivate much of the world. Being alive is an opportunity to observe and appreciate much more than the limited aspirations and beliefs of any local society. We are only one of many species that attempt to deal with the world and I still find it fascinating to merely have the basic capabilities to do so. In general I am much older than almost anybody on this site but still can play with many of my acquired skills and understandings. I am beyond the age when I can compete socially or even financially in society but there is still much to observe and enjoy. Death will come soon enough and I loathe the idea so I more or less put it in the back of my mind. In the meantime there is much to explore and enjoy. Even a bad movie is done with more skill than I can muster and observing the elemental techniques involved yields some rewards, if only to point out how it shouldn't be done.
