    Default The Number 23 sucks

    Literally one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Just a warning, don't waste your money! Well, unless you go in looking at it like a comedy...it is pretty hilariously bad.

    I'll admit the promos I've seen for the movie are pretty good, but Scarlett, I'll take your advice and wait for it to come out on DVD... or I might just download it.

    lol I haven't heard of it, and I thought you were saying that you actually hated the number 23, and I was thinking "Why? 23 is my favourite number, it's my birthday!"

    ^ lol! I think I do hate the number now tho, because of the movie!

    The best (worst) part:

    "My favourite color is pink! Pink is red + white! Red =67, White = 25, that's 92! There are 4 letters in the word pink. Divide 92 by 4 and you get.....23!!"

    Fuck. you.

    Or "2/3 is .666". No it's not.

    I am way too susceptible to that kind of retarded, self-fulfilling stuff. I read this interview with Crazy Jim and his love of 23...I got all thinking, just for say whatever, if i could subscribe to the religion of 23.

    The first thing I thought of was my birthday- 1985...1+9+8+5= woooaaahhh

    So then I thought of my mom's birthday, which is August 31...31-8= freaky!

    then brother's- April 1990..1+9+9+0= 19; 19+4= holy craapppp!! (haha, it's so like stoner logic, but I confess, I was doing it)

    then my dad's, which was trickier, but I came up with: April 21, 1956: 4+21+(1+9+5+6)= 46; 46/2= JIM CARREY IS THE NEW HUBBARD!

    Then I showed this to my friend, and she snarked "do me then, nostradamus", and I was all "hahah! You're born in 85 too! nah nah!". Then she said "this is so retarded, you could do that with almost any number, probably". And it's true, but whatever.

    It's like astrology, but that favourite colour of pink thing...haha. That's about how bad it gets. Incidentally, my fav colour IS pink (tie with black). And my favourite horse lived in stall number 23. That's right, is so deep and profound. Lol.

    I don't like the number 23 because its prime. Prime numbers are weird. I didn't think the movie would be that good. However, 300 is going to kick ass!

    I actually thought it was a good movie. I mean aside from all the numerological shit I think as far as psychological movies go this one was pretty good. It totally misleads you and at the end your like WTF, but then you get it and it's like okay that makes sense, so all the number crap was just misdirection, but it shouldn't take away from the experience.

    By the way 2/3 is .666, 1/3 is .333. I don't know why this point was refutted, but whatever.

    well, 2/3 is .666, but it's one of those numbers that goes on forever so techinically .66666666 infinity or rounded off to .67 or .667



    I saw smoking aces. It had alot going on, but me and my boyfriend still loved it.

    Ah, I kinda wanted to see this too. What does everyone think about the new movie coming out that was made by the makers of the Saw movies? I forget what it's called, but it's with the ventriloquist (spelling?).

    That being said, 300 is going to be amazing!

    I wish I didn't read this. I was looking forward to it to see Jim Carey in a serious role.

    What is 300?

    I was entertained...something about a good conspiracy theory that gets my attention. Of course I don't buy into it, but it's fun nonetheless. I thought JC's acting was pretty good too.

    No, 2/3 is .667. Totally different number. 1/3 is .333 because 3 rounds down. Get it?

    Different strokes for different folks...I read some reviews on imdb and seems a lot of people like it. Which confuses me a whole lot, but meh. I will say I thought JCs acting was good too. But good acting can't save a shite plot, imo.

    Stupid premise, stupid plot. Even the trailers don't hide its ridiculousness from me. Seems a study in becoming a obsessive, compulsive, schizophrenic paranoid. No thanks, there's already one of those around here!
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    It's six repeating... so technically it's 666 and 667... so nobody wins.

    No actually, I still win. If you stop a repeating number at 3 decimal spots, and the fourth decimal number is 5 or over, the preceding number gets rounded up. Those are the rules! It's like, grade 4 math.

    I didn't think anyone was going to actually argue that when I posted it, lol.
