5. Vanilla Sky
Unfortunately for you, this friend of yours is also somehow one of the few people in the entire world who actually saw the original foreign movie that Vanilla Sky was based on (whatever its called), and whenever this kind of movie night happens, theres nothing you, your friends mom, the local film critic, or Ron Perlman can do to make it right. Every chance your friend had during Vanilla Sky, he sighed significantly. You thought that maybe that laxative you slipped him might have finally kicked in, but since hed built up a tolerance for it at that point in your friendship it turned out to in fact only be because the movie annoyed him so much for being exactly like the foreign original movie that people care about less than Pay It Forward. And true to form, he had to point out those similarities to you on your first viewing. At the start of each scene, he told you how it would end, maneuvering his laptop into your field of vision to prove each scenes almost shot-for-shot similarities to the original, despite your appeals to his humanity to just let you see Tom Cruise interact with Jason Lee. They dont even try to keep me from guessing! your friend shouted to what had to have been himself, as he was clearly the intended audience of the movie. This follows the original movie word-for-word. And if theres anything your friend hates most in this world, its when someone else tells him that everything is a dream before he can tell you. And to add further insult to my intelligence, your friend whined childishly, adjusting his Assassins Creed T-shirt that would be blotted out if this screening were being filmed, They have to make all of Tom Cruises life in this version into a corporate pastiche. Is that the best they can do to differentiate it from the original? I guess the use of To Kill a Mockingbird is pretty cool.
