Saw = porn for the gorelover, I've explained myself several times somewhere on this board. Buckethead should disassociate himself from it asap.
Saw pretty much spells the newage city hillbilly. Ahyuck love Hostel! |
Please. You can say that about pretty much any horror movie. They're all purposely filled with gore and random, nonsensical violence for a reason: it appeals to their audience.
I didn't only like the Saw series for the gore factor. I mainly liked the series because it was much different from the horror flicks I've seen before. The story itself is a relatively good one, and the plot twists make it quite interesting to watch, as, in my opinion, you honestly never see them coming. If I was looking to watch a movie mainly to see some blood and gore, Saw would probably be one of the last one's I'd watch. I mean, the first one has only one disturbing scene, and that's near the end of the film. So much for porn for the gorelover. There are gorier films out there. |
Saw is pretty good, but Hostel is way cooler! Even though the first half is almost like..porn lol, not complaining though
|
Eh, Hostel didn't even really have a story. It just went from porn, to gore, to what-the-hell ending. I really imagined it being much better.
|
Last film I watched was Space: A 2001 Odessy.
I still have no idea what the **** it was about. |

Watching Saw for things other than gore... That's just like watching pornography for it's lighting. Heh. So much for intellectual horror movie fans. |
Well, I wasn't watching Saw for the gore. I was watching it because it was much different from any other horror films out there.
What's more, I'm not a horror film fan. I gave up on that genre a long time ago. None of their films have ever instilled the fear I so desire. None of them have evered deeply disturbed me that way I want to be disturbed. It's really a shame. That genre is a mere shell of what it once was. It's all shitty remakes of the "classics" and ton's-o'-gore-without-a-story movies now. That department has gone to shit, and it really is a shame. |
Ya, Horror films mostly suck now. They don't seem to know how to disturb people in a new way. My favorite kinds of movies are comedies (the dark, witty, and stupid ones.) Weird stuff like Monty Python, and I like the stupid movie Freddy Got Fingered that Tom Green was in. I don't know, I just think Tom Green is hilarious when he messes with people, kind of like Borat
I like some action movies, but weird oddball ones like the Tarintino movies, and A Clockwork Orange kind of stuff. |
I watched Shaun of The Dead today, and I think it's pretty funny. I mean, it's got gore for whomever may enjoy that, but the comedy of it all is pretty hilarious...
|
Oh man I love Shaun of the Dead!
|
I just finished watching Munich last night on my Ipod. It was a very powerful movie. It really makes you wonder why no one sees that all this senseless violence around us will never get us anywhere.
|
Has anyone seen "GingerSnaps"? I've seen the beginning on YouTube and it looks amazing.

omg, I finally saw the Borat movie. It has to be one of the funniest movies ever. It was the first time a laughed so hard my sides hurt in a loooong time, because it took no boundaries. It's awesome.....
|
I watched 'Along came a Spider' the other night. It had Morgan Freeman in it.
|
And?
|
It was a good film. Though, you have a good point, I had no reason to bring that up. Sorry.
|
It's fine to bring up as long as you also include the commentary (ie what you thought of it, any other discussion). You're original post merely said that you'd watched it, which is not contributing at all.

I watched alot of movies this week that I forgot to post on here. They were:
Borat - A hysterical film. I thought that it wouldn't be as funny the second time around, but I couldnt be more wrong. I was in hysterics. Fresh - This was a movie about a young boy who was worked for drug dealers in Queens. One day, he plots his revenge, as he one of them accidentally kills the girl he was extremely fond of, and the other uses his sister's addiction for crack to get her into bed with him. His plot was quite clever, incorporating the boy's mastery of chess to "checkmate" each of the drug lords. The Longest Yard - I just watched this last night. It was alright, although I don't really understand why it was considered a comedy. There wasn't much humor throughout it, and a majority of the movie was football-based. Sandler's movies really are straying from the original genre he chose to be in. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle - I was hesitant to watch this film for awhile, sicne I thought it was jutst another one of those movies that dim-witted teenagers and fratboys were obsessed with, but after I found out that my girlfriend found it hysterical, I simply had to see what it was all about. I couldn't have been more wrong about the movie. It was hysterical. My side was honestly killing me by the time it was over. This is definitely a movie I'll be watching over and over again. There were a few more, but I just can't remember them at the moment. I'll probably just edit this post when I remember 'em. |
I recently watched "Barnyard." I thought it was pretty funny, and had a good message, but what still bugs me is that the male cows have utters. I understand why, so that little kids know they are cows and not something else, but still. Bugged me....
Good movie though. |
I just watched Happy Feet.
Good movie for kids, but when you're mature enough to see it differently, it's like the equivalent to the aftermath of taking crack. |
Then that "happy feet" is a movie I want to see.
And I also watched Ant Bully over the weekend. It was a good movie. It was pretty easy to guess what would happen next, and there weren't many surprizes, but it was still a good movie also with a good message. "Ants can climb up walls and we can't." |
Trust me, Short dancing Mexican penguins = Epic win.
|
Just watched the Pretige.
Awesome. Just wondering, but has anyone seen 300 yet? I'm to lazy to be bothered to go back a few pages to check. |
I saw Bridge to Terabethia about a month back the movie is now my favorite.
It is the best and saddest movie I have ever seen. |
Pan's Labyrinth.
Watch it. Now. Beautiful, poignant movie. |

I recently watched the 1931 version of Dracula, and found it to be fairly good. I also saw Mrs. Doubtfire; it was really funny and I enjoyed it a great deal. |

I hope it doesn't. It started off too well to just go down like that. It would be a complete and utter waste of a good plot.
|
I didn't think they would make a third lol cause that dude died.
Also Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was pretty good. |
Which dude died in the second? Certainly not Jigsaw.
|
Yes he did he died in the car after that one person went in the house I cant remember if it was the girl or the guy
|
Um, no he didn't. You could see his mouth twist into a smile in the car. Besides, he's alive in the third movie, so how could he have died in the second?
|
Thats what I didn't understand I though it was some plot twist or something.
(Also sorry for turning this into spam) |
Yeah, a plot twist that involves ressurection. That sure works. Why don't we add a mysterious shaman and indian burial ground to the mix while we're at it?
And it isn't spam. This is a topic about movies, and you're discussing movies. So you're on-topic, you goose. |
Ok then; didn't blood come out of his mouth in the car?
|
Yes, it did. What, does blood coming from someone's mouth symbolize death now? I wasn't aware.
|
It could depending on the illness.
|
Paramite of War, I thought Jigsaw died too in the second one. Because he was all talking about how that girl would take his place, and after he smiled he stopped moving and then the dramatic music came on. It really did seem like they were showing he died. But then I saw the Saw 3 trailer and he was in it. I thought that was skind of stupid, and made that scene less dramatic.
|
That is exactly what I thought down to the letter.
