Alternate Ending

Alternate Ending was formed when three friends realized that they all shared a passion for movies. Tim had been reviewing films at his old blog Antagony & Ecstasy for over a decade, and Rob & Carrie had found great success with their year-old podcast, when they all decided to combine forces to create a new site, dedicated to their desire to watch and discuss the best (and worst) that cinema has to offer. The result is the website you see before you. What makes Alternate Ending different from all the other film sites on the internet? Well, we humbly suggest that it's the three of us: very different people with very different thoughts about the movie. Too many film sites cater to the same kind of audience, with one overwhelming voice in the writing, but what we treasure at Alternate Ending is diversity: diversity of opinion, diversity in belief about what film should do and how it should do it. We want to celebrate our different opinions, and celebrate yours as well. This isn't a site for people who just want to talk about the latest hot new movies in theaters right this minute. This is a site for people who can't get to the theater until the third week a film is out; a site for people who just want to find something great to stream online after the kids have gone to sleep, a site for people whose favorite pastime is to grab a bunch of classic films on DVD from the library and watch them all weekend. It's a site that believes that every great movie is a wonderful new treasure, whether you see it the night of its premiere or fifty years later. It's a site about discovering good movies, one bad movie at a time.

The Top 5 Movies to See Before You Die, it's a catchphrase you've heard before. It's also a catchphrase that you assume has straightforward criteria. Movies critical to cinema? Movies about the afterlife? Movies to see if you have exactly 24 hours to live? If there is something we do well here at Alternate Ending, it's complicate things.

So we do indeed come up with our Top 5 Movies to See Before You Die, but it's a curvy path to get there.  Tim also agrees that Carrie's list is the best, because he in fact, he would want to pass on after viewing her choices.

In a new trend over the last few episodes, we've also been adding to the list of reasons of "why Rob Jarosinski is a sociopath" with a rousing story about public urination. Behind the scenes, Rob explains that he was comfortable sharing the story because quote "everybody has done it," to which, we will let you respond to the accuracy of that statement.

As always, tune in, and we hope you enjoy!
