trinityvixenI rented Suicide Club, a movie I vaguely had heard of before and that was recommended to me via Netflix because I rented Audition. I'm really getting tired of these movies ending without making sense at all. Suicide Club started out interesting enough, with an eerily cheerful group of girls charging to their deaths at a subway platform. Then there's this random Japanese Dr. Frank-N-Furter-wannabe scene in the middle (complete with singing randomly), then children...WTF?
What's funny to me is that I recognized the guy who was the victim in Audition as the cop in Suicide Club. And Lisa kept calling a character named Shibu "Shibby," so, thanks Dude, Where's My Car? for making it impossible to take the movie seriously. And another thing: Japanese movies waste too much time on following every small step that's acted out. We don't need to see the girl try to get out the gate then fail and then go find the guard to let her out after taking the long elevator ride down; edit, Japanese auteurs! Edit!
And LOST tonight...whew, almost missed it because of that stupid movie...
Man, I had just gotten around to going, "Boy, am I glad the Charlie was severely reduced in this ep," when he popped up. First genius use of Charlie in the whole series, you ask me. And I heart Sawyer mightily, but I'm utterly confused as to why he would seek to hoarde the guns himself. He started basically giving away his stash in season one, so there wasn't any reason based on pack-ratting alone to get them. If he wants to avoid getting shot by them, I would point out that trusting Charlie to hide the weapons wasn't the best idea. There has to be a better reason than pissing on Jack, sneaking around Locke, et al. I give him major props for having the relationships on the isle all worked out--he's like a fan of the show or something.
No, he's in it for the long con, but I'm blasted if I know what that is. I'm a little shocked (and I thought it was a little out of character) that he got Charlie to jump Sun. He and Jin are (and I refuse to believe he's been faking it the whole time) close, and I have to think respect for what they went through together would keep him from doing that unless there were no other way (why not jump someone else? someone less important?). He went after Michael, too, so I don't buy the "I don't give a shit about anybody" attitude. Where's the sudden reversal come from? Or has the long con been his every step (despite the perils to his health when he passed out) since the raft? gaaaahhhh
