The End

I hate "the end".

It really marks the end, but at the same time it the beginning of something else. So, if the end starts off something else, it's really not the end, is it? Why do they call it the end then? I have just proven that it's not really the end, it's just a mid-section. Why don't they call it "The pause"?

Definition of false advertisement: Saying that you will get something, then just giving you some other crap. So… What to do now? You just been told that the movie you have been watching for the last 2hour is over, “THE END”. One year later, you find yourself reading trough the cast of the sequel. “Cool, Danny De Vito is in it!” There might be one or two famous rappers in it too. By now, you know this‘s just a lousy spin off to make money off the good name of the first one.

Now… Think back. What did the first movie say? “The end”. “WTF” you think. “Where’s my money?” It did say “The end?” Why the hell is there a sequel? Did I just pay for seeing a half movie here? Just because you add numbers to it, doesn’t mean that it’s a completely new movie and plot, it never is. Did Terminator 2 turn into a Drama-comedy? Did Rambo 2 turn in to a love-story? It’s the same thing, just with new faces.

How would you like it, if you just got out from a 14hour long surgery, then the doctors tell you: “Ah that was just half of it, wait 2sec and we’ll prep you up for another 16hours of fun".

There are these fake "the ends.” Like the last Matrix.
“Man that was the last one, leave Matrix alone!” you’re thinking.
No! Matrix didn’t end! It started IT! Tons of movies passing through the Hollywood blockbuster filter were filled with stuff stolen from Matrix! “Yeah! Let’s do one of these slow motion jump kick! It’s gonna be awesome!” they’re thinking. NOOoooooo is what I’m thinking! Matrix spun a wheel that’s still spinning today. Everyone is trying to rip off the special effects. The end? Hell no!

Hollywood: Stop using “the end” unless you mean it! Or give us, faithful movie watchers a refund or at least a half-off coupon! Don’t say it’s the end, and publish some table scraps two year later after the DVD-sales have gone down!

So, next time I see a “the end”. I’m taking everyone I know to town to celebrate a great movie, and an end of an era. And if you decide to make a sequel, I know who I’m gonna see about that bar-tab of mine…

The end…
