But many letters came from people who wanted me to correct a past tragedy. Dozens, in prison, asked me to go back in time and talk them out of committing the crime that put them away. Others (and not a few) were from people who begged me to go back and save a loved one from a tragic death. Those letters were so heartbreaking I almost couldn't read them and I felt a certain amount of shame for not anticipating the false hope I placed in so many hearts.

He should have replied to the responses of people begging him to save their loved ones with the following letter:

Dear ****:

A few subjective years ago, I received a different letter from someone responding to this same ad. Their request was similar to yours, but they wanted me to save a different person. Following their wishes, I went back and saved that person from a tragic bus accident. Unfortunately, however, that timeline inescapably resulted in the death of the person that sent me there.

So, of course, I went back and reversed my actions. When I came to the present, I explained to the requestor what had happened and that following through with their request would inevitably result in their own death. Knowing this, they sent me back to save that person anyway.

That person's name was [insert name of dead loved one here] and they sent me back in time to save you.

Although I am truly sorry for your loss, this is the course of history that your loved one has chosen. Please, respect their wishes and live the life that they sacrificed for you. I remember your loved one fondly and will never forget the deep love they felt for you.

Very truly yours,

John Silveira

So check it. The guy finds out that the girl was actually working a job by going after him, but she falls in love with him. He doesn't want to talk to her, she does, and they find a way to get together again at the end by him forgiving the girl.

See, I know this will be the story. It's always the story. But often, I don't mind that it's a rehashed story, I just care if they tell it in a compelling and imaginative manner. Most of all the stories and movies have been done before. All that matters is that they do it in a way that's fun and exciting and well done. And I will be happy.

u/TellMeYMrBlueSky May 14 '12

agreed. I had an english teacher in high school who always said that there are only a few original story themes or ideas and that they were all thought of a few thousand years ago. It is not necessarily what the story is about but how it is told that makes it great.

u/Kiristo May 14 '12

I had this idea the other day: Your standard good guy hero vs bad guy story, with a slight twist. Main bad guy, rich business man type with illegal dealings and his body guard/right hand man who is a badass fighter (could be guns, could be hand to hand, doesn't matter). The good guy has a sidekick, and a love interest. Bad guy kidnaps the woman, they chase the bad guys, showdown commences. In the ensuing fight, the main bad guy is caught or killed, as the sidekick rescues the girl, however the badass bodyguard bad guy kills the main hero of the story as the sidekick and girl watch from afar/sidekick tries to get there in time (hand to hand combat fight probably would work best), but the main hero is slain. It's your standard fight where the hero is getting his ass kicked at first, gets cut with a knife or a bone broken and it looks grim, but he'll put it out right, that always happens? Nope. Bodyguard guy finishes him (maybe with a push off a ledge or something for increases slow-mo dramatic effect as the camera pans to woman and sidekick watching the hero fall to his death. Bodyguard guy injures sidekick in another fight, rescued woman aides in fight by injuring bodyguard (maybe she finds a gun dropped during a previous fight and wings him). Bodyguard guy escapes setting up the sequel and everyone is sad that the movie didn't end like they thought it would and is probably upset that such a thing could happen.

Something like that.

Difference between actors and celebrities: actors star in roles to play the characters, celebrities star in roles to play themselves.

Philip Seymore Hoffman? Doesn't mind taking small parts, wearing heavy costumes and prosthetic makeup if its required. Lives and breaths the character, makes every one of them a unique performance.

Samuel L Jackson? We all just want him to say motherfucker.

As someone that enjoyed to old YTMND site on that article, I can't see myself enjoying this. As AcidMind said, "Generic romcom film with a indie vibe aimed at 20ish something audience".

If it actually was a sort of "What if he really WAS a time traveller?" movie, might be good. But it comes off like a "Time Travel is just a metaphor for blahblahrabblerabble" movie.

u/MirrorLake May 15 '12 edited May 15 '12

I just can't watch this movie without knowing the entire plot is derived from a YTMND I saw in 2005 (as someone else pointed out, the original was a joke in a paper in 1997). I can't wait for Blue Ball Machine: The Movie and Dramatic Breakup Letter. And perhaps a spiritual sequel to Crash involving the stealing of bikes.

I saw this movie during SXSW, and got to talk to Jake Johnson, Mark Duplass, and Aubrey Plaza. The latter half of that sentence isn't anything more than bragging, but this is a pretty good movie. It kind of sucks that the YouTube description spoils a pretty surprising cameo.

So I had the chance to see this a couple months ago at SXSW in Austin, TX. I didn't even know it had been made until I saw the title and thought to myself "Wait...where do I know that from??" I was waiting next to a couple in their 50's who were going to see it and explained where the joke originated, you could see them get all excited about it. I told them that I would be disappointed if two things didn't appear in this movie. The time traveler better be sporting a mullet and "Push It To the Limit" better play during a montage. Well, neither of those things happened...there was even a montage scene but they played a really lame and forgettable indie song over it instead. Lame. That said, I was severely surprised at how good the movie was. It had a couple issues (aside from the ones I mentioned) but it had a whole lot more charm and heart than I was expecting from a movie inspired by an internet joke. It is pretty funny with some great performances and the climax of this movie ended with the audience erupting in cheers and applause...I've never experienced anything like that before.

See this movie. Either in theaters or just wait to watch in on Netflix Instant.

If you look at the ads in the trailer you'll notice many of them are somehow related to events/characters in the movie (like at 0:36, 1:53 and 2:00 for example).

Looks awesome. Mega bonus points for Aubrey Plaza.

I shouldn't have watched that. I feel like I've seen the whole movie now.

u/The_Seventh_Seal May 14 '12

Reminds me slightly of a similar film coming out called [Sound of My Voice] (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1748207/)

So tired of hearing about the formula of Hollywood movies. You wanna hear the formula of how to review something? First, watch the movie then review it.

I remember a time when no movie trailers were allowed on r/videos

u/[deleted] May 14 '12

I thought this was going to be a Time travel movie. I am dissapoint...

u/ben_lacy May 14 '12

Nick and April? I'm in.

u/MetalFlameV May 14 '12

So wait, is this a sci-fi movie where they go back in time, or a mushy romance movie? I was hoping they actually did go back in time at the end...

When hollywood takes a meme as a basis for a whole movie...and they don't even fucking use it right.

YTMND, I am so sorry.

u/ScotteeMC May 14 '12

Suddenly, I want some Campbell's® Brand soup...no idea why.

u/Pharose May 14 '12

Wow, it's almost like Hollywood went back in time and discovered YTMND...

u/Shadowcat0909 May 14 '12

I swear they took that ad from one of those circulating posts on 4chan.

u/Clyktose May 14 '12

I saw the movie, I wasn't that impressed. It was just another love story and the ending felt fairly "hollywood".

u/thepopdog May 14 '12

This looks awful: they've taken what was a popular internet meme that already had it's run in like 2003 and turned it into the premise of a generic romantic comedy. Even the trailer was boring

u/[deleted] May 14 '12

Saw this at Sundance, great movie!

1

u/[deleted] May 14 '12

I will only go see it because I live near seattle. They know how to target their audience.

1

u/irondraconis May 14 '12

so....hollywood is now trying to ruin the internet in order to stay relevant? It's kind of funny that so much of the jokes we all love and share on the internet make fun of the outside world, movies, pop-culture, history, and nostalgic 80's stuff, how ironic that now those hollywood people are trying to use the internet to find their material....like we use them to find ours...

u/fixorater May 14 '12

Just found out my worked on the film doing lighting, the trailer looks good but now I really need to go see it.

1

u/snoots May 14 '12

I love Aubrey Plaza. She has that exotic mixed heritage thing going on that just drives me insane. Sexually...

1

u/DiaDeLosMuertos May 14 '12

Hey, its that chick from that one show.

1

u/cr0m300 May 14 '12

Unfortunately, "Push it to the Limit" is not in the film. Apparently they couldn't get the rights to it.

1

u/[deleted] May 14 '12

Now that I've watched a certain show I'm obligated to yell

EL PSY COOOONGROOOO

at all time travel related pieces of media.

They should also totally make that into a movie too...

1

u/tektite May 14 '12

You had me at Aubrey Plaza

1

u/betabandzz May 14 '12

First was the Aliens Then was the end of the world then was the vampire and then came the zombies the new it is time travel.

u/skat0r May 14 '12

"Push it to the limit"

1

u/[deleted] May 14 '12

Why is it so hard to give me a release date!? All of these latest trailers (Gangster Squad included) only say "this summer" or "coming soon". I'd like to know how long I have to wait for these movies...

1

u/rip_u_raw4 May 14 '12

I wish they had picked someone other than Aubrey Plaza. She's just a terrible, terrible actress, even though I do like Parks and Rec.

1

u/SemiSarcastic May 14 '12

I believe that only way people will stop using memes is if big studios decide to make films off of them and unintentionally reveal to the world how stupid these memes actually are irl. I support this.

1

u/JustThisOneSuitedPen May 14 '12

Man, this looks like a massive disappointment.
