  I feel so honored to be the last comment. All of my hard work and dedication has paid off. Getting the last comment has been a dream of mine for many years, and i would like to thank those who have helped me along the way. First and foremost i would like to thank god for giving me this opportunity. Next i would like to thank my parents. I want to thank my friend Josh Arcaro, for being really skinny and always there for me. I would also like to thank my pet tadpole for surviving against all odds for over a week. Next i would like to thank the squirrel that lives in my backyard for climbing trees because that gives me inspiration that i need to get through the day. This is a special moment in my life and i would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be a moment that i will never forget. I just remembered a few other people i would like to thank; spill, the fish i caught in the third grade, my light in my room bc i wouldn’t be able to see the keyboard without it, the internet for letting me go on spill, my house because without it i would be homeless, and last but not least i would like to thank all the people out there that actually took time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal to me this is. I have been trying to be the last comment on a post for years, but that has not been possible until this amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare occasion. If you asked me how i did this, i would say, you can achieve anything you set your mind on. To all the kids out there reading this, i would like to tell them to follow their dreams. Being the last comment is amazing, thank you everyone!

  Willem Dafoe as a normal, nice guy? See "Inside Man".

  Oh......Oh?......?

  The best way this movie could end was if the fireflies got together with a giant flyswatter and swatted Willem DeFoe.

  Ryan Renolds is just like Bruce Campbell. He just wants to make shitty films be remotely watchable.

  now I haven't seen this film, but what I was thinking from the review was that When the dad says that it wasn't always bad, and Ryan reynolds agrees, what it sounds like is that the movie shows everything through Ryan Reynolds hateful perspective, and that when you fully look into it, that it really wasn't all bad, but all you're shown is why reynolds hates him so much. I dunno, I'm just looking at this from the outside in, and as what I as a screen writer would have done. Because that's how I am with my father in a lot of ways, but I think that in the long run, he wasn't this horrible guy, it's just the torture that sticks out to us. 

   

  THEN AGAIN and sorry for this being long, there is no one who calls for a view from the father's perspective more than Leon, so if even HE isn't calling for that, then I dunno, maybe his perspective is just as bad or the movie doesn't offer any hints towards it being from Reynolds perspective. Maybe he's just kind of a turd.

  I was kind of excited for this movie, but now I'm not sure. I don't mind familiar story elements because cliches are there because they work and have worked. So if you can buy into it, then there's no real issue. However, Aaron Sorkin told me once "the worst thing about this moment is that we celebrate stupidity. Fuck incompetence. and the only way to get rid of that incompetence is to acknowledge it and be perfectionists about it." Don't mean to pull a carlyle, but I got to eat dinner with the guy and he's my idol so I basically remembered every word. But Aaron is right, and the fact that there is such shitty edits and mood swings in the story should not be tolerated because it is incompetent that a multi-million dollar project should be filled with such shit. Also, the fact that it was made in 07 is kind of hilarious. I don't know if I want to see this one now. Great review, and sorry for typing so much, I'm really high right now, and I guess this is what I do.

  I don't know what it is you guys see in Ryan Reynolds. I can't think of a single movie he's in that I like; I even thought buried was pretty bad.

  @The Frizz
  It's because spiders are fuckin scary.

  The odd thing is that I saw the trailer for this film years ago... It was listed among a bunch of other films on some blogger's list, which they deemed obscure. I discovered Mary and Max this way, but I also saw this trailer. It seemed odd that Julia Roberts would do an indie, I don't think you really see that all that often.

  Your comments on the firefly-smashing scene were fucking FUNNY. Although it is kind of interesting how people react to these things- fireflies aren't much different from, say, spiders, they're just prettier and so we sympathise. Spiders are fine for smushing.

  Anyone else think that this was related to Graveyard of the Fireflies?

  I'm going to find a theater showing this just because it sounds so fucking hilarious, that firefly scene especially.
