  • What the hell is it with these non-endings pervading movies recently?

<div style='font: 10pt arial; text-align: left; '>First the Fast and the Furious, now Final Fantasy... Are writers out of ideas or just lazy? *I* can do better than this...granted my idea of better would be as many lesbian strippers cavorting across the screen as possible, but still, it'd be an ending at least...</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold"; text-align: left; '>Non-ending? Fast and Furious? What was so non-ending about that? There doesn't have to be complete closure for a movie to end. There have been MANY classic movies over the years that left loose ends *cough*Star Wars*cough*</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>It's probably the production companies faults for having such horrible endings because they aren't sure if they want to have a sequal to a film or not, so the endings are always cliffhangers. It's a way for the industry to make money. In my opinion, the Final Fantasy ending was Final (the punning never stops!), but it didn't give anyone a sense of closure, but I guess if you've played a couple of the games (still tryin to beat FFII and FFVII) you'd figure out that's how it was supposed to end, crappily.

As for Fast and the Furious...I haven't seen that yet.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt arial; text-align: left; '>There's too many loose ends, like what Brian was going to do (not only did he let Dom get away but he also shot Johnny Tram while undercover and without giving warning, etc.), and what happened to Mia. I guess it did have an ending but it wasn't very satisfying.</div>
