Well, back to the last 40 or so minutes of Cell, not much happened for about 20 minutes, with a scene where they met a hunter who decided to kill himself (making his scene largely pointless), and John Cusack comparing his rescuing his potentially zombefied son to Orpheus and Eurydice after he's repeatedly told it's a suicide mission. Um, John, in the original myth, Eurydice died for real before they made it back to the upper world.
And then we have an ending so convoluted that I had to actually resport to one of those "The ending of X explained" videos to make out what was even going on: Apparently, he blows up a cell phone tower with his phone, has a dream about his son, and then he's part of the zombie horde.
I haven't read the novel, but apparently, King got complaints about the ending, and apparently, this is his attempt at righting it. Apparently, in the book, it ends with Cusack trying to fix his son with another dose of the radiation to cancel out the original dose with the book ending just before he mashes the last button, but seriously, that can't have been worse than this shit.
Well, fortunately, it looks like next week in the Deep Hurting Project is going to be a lock: The Last Airbender. Why? Because when I decided to start it, I decided to alternate between genres, like, for instance, Action/Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Musical, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, World (Foreign Language), Youth, "Nonfiction." And maybe Christmas movies if they're on display, which they're usually not. Musicals, World, and "Nonfiction" films are all out, and at the moment, The Last Airbender is the last Sci-Fi/Fantasy film in the Project. Except, of course for two sequel films: The NeverEnding Story 3 (I have not seen the first two; I guess I'll have to see those sooner rather than later, even though I won't go into them like I will the third), and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (I have not seen the original film; also, it looks like my local library's copy has been checked out and overdue for 4 1/2 months. If it's not back by the time NES3 is out, I'm officially removing it from the list.)
