Falling Down
2007-02-26, 10:22 PM #1
Somebody briefly mentioned this movie in a comment on a blog I visit a few days ago, so I looked it up and it sounded interesting. I just watched it, and it's an awesome movie. It's almost 15 years old, and yet somehow I had never heard of it.

I really encourage everyone to go and rent it. Michael Douglas, 1993.

I saw it... almost 15 years ago. You fail.

Saw when it was new as well.

Anecdote:
One of my philosophy instructors told us about when he saw it in the theater as a kid, with his very religious father and grandmother. It totally offended them and they left about a half hour in. As they leave the theater, his grandmother turns to him and wonders, "I don't understand why Jesus didn't kill the film makers."

So I think about Falling Down and his grandmother whenever I play Painkiller ("Heaven's Got a Hitman.")

Probably one of my favorite movies. We talked about it in the chatroom the other day.

I disagree with people's claims of racism.

I saw it when I was younger, and ended up watching it again recently, too. It's pretty good.

Yeah, that's a good one.

I saw a bit of it like 10 years ago and wondered what the hell it was. It seemed neat.

Maybe I'll watch the whole thing someday.

"Yeah. And now you're gonna die, wearing that stupid little hat. How does it feel?"

Excellent movie.

One of the first movies I bought on DVD - first time I saw it was at the McDonald's look-a-like scene.

I still want my burgers to look like the pictures. :mad:

Very good movie. One of the only good movies made by Joel Schumacher.

Yeah, one of the things I kept thinking was "...this guy actually created Batman & Robin?"

Usually I don't like Michael Douglas, but this movie is awesome.
Sorry for the lousy German

I think I heard that Joel Schumacher straight up apologizes for making batman and robin on the dvd commentary.
