It is official. Redietz will never be on Dan Druff's podcast. "too much integrity"
"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ

I just finished up revisiting this film.
I like the way they ended it but I could of lived with him dying.
It's clear that he made the decision to choose Real Life and his Real Life Relationship over his addiction to his Lucid Dream World.
What isn't exactly clear is if he came out of the coma right before the end scene.
I didn't run it back to see if he opened his eyes with Paltrow at his side as I was just enjoying the End Credit Music.
I like an abrupt ending like that.
And I kind of like leaving it open to interpretation.
I feel like he is going to wake up at that moment since that is exactly how he wakes up every time throughout the film.
Another interpretation could be that he lucked into Perpetual Dreaming which is what DeVito was trying to stumble upon or invent his entire life.
Either way the hypnotic music and visuals bring in a nice flood to the emotions and I really like the jolt you get from the taxi/accident scene.
An interesting note or feeling about this film is how it is directed.
The story and characters feel disconnected as if you are in a dream.
And when we experience the dream sequences they feel more alive or bright.
Very Clever Story Telling in my opinion.
DeVito/Mel Quote: Sometimes I wish that you could just hit the sack and never wake up.
If your favorite song never ended, or your best book never closed, if the emotions mustered from these things would just go on and on, who wouldn't want to stay asleep?
The guy who discovers that perpetual dream, he's my man.

Great insights Monet. I don't recall seeing him come out of the coma. If he did, it was implied somehow or it happened as some sort of epilogue after the ending credits (which I didn't wait for). But, as you described, he clearly wanted to restore his real world relationship and Paltrow definitely understood this since she saw him try and run across the busy street to salvage things.
Yeah, I missed some of the jokes the first go around back in 2007.
A couple I noticed this viewing.
Hobbit Joke when they are in the book store.
Funny since Martin Freeman is Bilbo in 2012.
Reading the Middle East Crisis Book (Mid-Life Crisis) before bed which was hilarious but I'm sure I noticed that in 07 but forgot about it.
Or was it Middle East Conflict... same difference... all the jokes still work as he is constantly fighting with his wife/life.
I'm not sure if they made an "Open Your Eyes" joke/reference but I feel like they did or they should have, giving a nod to Vanilla Sky.
I did notice they certainly seemed to be referencing Vanilla Sky in the Dreams when they would intertwine Paltrow's voice over Cruz's.
Just like they did in Vanilla Sky with Cameron Diaz and Cruz.
You noticed that it was a Dark Comedy more so than I did but I see it now.
The movie sort of disguises itself as a Drama but it seems more clear now that they are goofing and making fun of many things.
Heck, I read somewhere today that they are spoofing on several Dream Type movies.
I guess the biggest joke is that all you have to do to direct or get a movie in Hollywood is have a Famous A-List Sister.
I probably missed many of the subtle jokes they were making.
Danny DeVito sure did have a lot of jobs!

[QUOTE=Dan Druff;148633He might come back, but yeah, this seems to have been his (planned) swan song. Dumb.[/QUOTE]
He wanted that swan to sing, but instead it laid a stillborn egg.
What was he thinking, trying to pull his $1.5M jackpot claim off?
As if...
He posts at GF and I wouldn't be surprised if he returns here, most especially if KJ were to ignore him at GT: KJ is his primary target, but then Rob seems to be somewhat misanthropic.

What, Me Worry?
Ron, you should take some of the $1.5M bank roll from your super big win (congrats again BTW - I hope you and your family are enjoying some of the proceeds) and go for the gusto at $10000 a spin 10-hand $100 denom UX. Even Cerveza Fria might be slightly reluctant to play at $10000 a spin for more than an hour a day. A natural royal dealt (and held) with all hands at 12x will pay you $48M.
Don't think that guy won't fuck your wife. Rob Singer will do it! Don't trust that man with your wife or children.
When Rob stole the double up bug claim, he told us that he couldn't provide tax documentation because he had throw away the tax documentation being that it was more than 7 years old. He told Shackleford the same thing in a video interview.
So guess what. The above picture and claim is last year (2022). Rob should now have documentation from the casino in his hands as required by law and be preparing his taxes for the year in question. How about it Rob?
How in the hell does weakness even prevail in the first place? If weakness prevails, then it is not weakness.
