Author Topic: Shutter Island Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-13-2010 10:56 PM                     Is there actually a part in this movie where someone gets stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer? Or perhaps a fountain pen? Any stabbings at all. Or is that only perpetrated be cellular phone using assholes in the audience?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-13-2010 11:14 PM                     Bobby, This is more along the lines of a Hitchcock movie... if someone did get stabbed you wouldn't actually see it happen.  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 03-14-2010 12:50 AM                     Wow! So many questions raised here... ..like how did the stabbing be allowed to happen? ..didn't anyone see this happen? ..what are the operators doing about it? ..and was it cooked properly?  |  IP: Logged Tony Gallimore Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Willis, Virginia, USA Registered: Jul 2009 posted 03-17-2010 10:24 PM                     Like many other's reviews, I was fine for the first 2/3rds, but I got really restless as the later third began to drag. I sought out a 35mm version, which was excellent (I'm still not too fond of digital, like 3d glasses, it gives me a headache)... the tragedy was with the story line. Leo did a pretty good job in spite of the weak script.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 04-19-2010 08:36 PM                     I enjoyed this movie, but the theatre I saw this at hampered the experience, given the number of dark scenes, Regal Bethesda has the WORST exit signs to the right and left of the screen that are SOOOOO bright, you'd think they were there for the visually imparied, needless to say, my eyes kept on wandering off the screen, I so wanted to take a hammer and smash the exit signs. It also didn't help that the film was not being decoded in 5.1 digital sound, the soundmix as a result came across as lifeless and undramatic - will more than likely rent the bluray to hear and see this movie properly.  |  IP: Logged
