I Have Just Seen... III -

I didn't see it.

I also have never seen any of the other ones.

The other ones are as you'd expect: silly Horror from a time when silly Horror was frightening.

What really gets my goat is that in every single new Slasher film (let's say...2003 onward) the Protagonists never survive. Never. Sometimes they'll make it allll the way to the end, and then pop! Antagonist wasn't dead. That's like pulling the rug out from somebody and saying that you didn't trip them, it was the carpet.

That was actually a terrible analogy but you get my frustration. It's wonderful.

One of the things that made the originals so memorable was how surreal the horror was. I mean, Freddy is an eldritch abomination that can manipulate dreamscapes ffs. That's pretty tits. Turning into a giant snake and devouring people, gorging a girl on rotten food until she's distended and chokes on her own vomit, and using a kid's tendons and ligaments to make marionette strings so he can control him like a puppet just to name a few of Freddy's famous hallucinogenic murders.

If you take the movies at face value then you may not like them. Plenty of new wave synths and outdated special fx to go around, and by about the third one they had completely jumped the shark and made Freddy a cartoonish pun factory. Your mileage may vary, but I haven't met a single person who's seen them and didn't like them to some extent.

Finally saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and thought it was fucking brilliant. And I don't explete casually.

One thing though; it's not really a boy-meets-girl story. It's a story about breakups. Many, many breakups. And I'm meeting my ex for coffee tomorrow. So that felt kinda wierd.

i saw my mother kissing Santa Claus.

***Nate*** · #**905** 12-10-2010, 03:53 AM

Was there tongue?

MA · #**906** 12-10-2010, 04:01 AM

it was getting a little further than that. but don't worry, i hit him over the head with a lead pipe.

sorry, kids.

***Nate*** · #**907** 12-10-2010, 04:03 AM

Did you steal his... I was going to say 'sack', but I'm sure that 'round here that would be interpretted as a pun. His toy-carrier?

MA · #**908** 12-10-2010, 04:06 AM

nothing but cigarettes and cheap booze. fucking fraud.

on an unrelated note, i'm selling an authentic Santa suit and some fresh reindeer meat. drop me a line if you want some.

THIS IS SPAM GUYS!

That would be a good name for sketch comedy show.

Now we just need to make one. Half of the conversations we have here would be pretty wacky in real life.

Saw Four Lions. Surprisingly tasteful.

I watched Deep Blue Sea yesterday, I've seen it three times now. It's not that good, but it's not that bad either so meh. It was funny how stupid some of the scenes were.

T-nex · #**913** 12-12-2010, 11:20 AM

I watched 'Another 9 ½ weeks' with my sister, in the belief that it was the first movie... I didn't even know a sequel existed. But oh well. it contained boobies, so all is well. The story made no sense at all though, or maybe I just didn't get it.
First one is bizarre and weird and so is the second one, and is one of those really limit-pushing movies about certain relationship dynamics.

I also tried to make her watch The Dark Crystal with me. I've never watched it myself before this.
But of course she couldn't take it seriously cos it was a puppet movie, and was laughing her ass off the first third of the movie X_x
Then I watched the rest by myself. I actually liked it. It was a sweet fantasy movie, and I don't think the effects seemed lame at all. So yea.. Good movie =)

I have just seen Science with Ricky Gervais. And I was kinda bored and disappointed. The second half was def better, when he started with spiders and how they always seem to be ready. and when he came up with this pedophile joke, it was great how the audience fell silence. although the punch line wasn't that great, the joke fully worked and had his effect.

Emesdee · #**915** 12-13-2010, 08:47 PM

Saw the new version of The Crazies. Overall I found it more enjoyable than the Romero original, which was a bit of a disappointment. Though this movie's "shocker" scene didn't pack quite the punch.

STM · #**916** 12-14-2010, 09:13 AM

Saw Marble Hornets, pretty cool for an amateur horror flick!

Phylum · #**917** 12-14-2010, 02:54 PM

I saw HP7 yesterday. It was ok. The Nagini attack was intense. They weren't affraid to sacrifice clarity for a really fucking fast moving snake.

Sadly, they spent too much time doing nothing.

All in all it was good, but I won't be seeing it again.

Wow so they really were book accurate.

Did you think we wouldn't notice that you'd posted the exact same thing twice?

Wings of Fire · #**920** 12-14-2010, 09:40 PM

Three times actually.

I forgot how I worded it last time so I had to go back to OANST watching it and check.

Emesdee · #**921** 12-14-2010, 11:24 PM

Watched Ponyo and it was sickeningly adorable. Of course, I had a bit of a hard time enjoying it because someone told me it had a depressing ending, so that was in the back of my mind the whole time.

thank you very much you dumb idiot!

Ponyo loses her human form and reverts into a fish. Sōsuke and Ponyo are taken by Fujimoto into the ocean and down to the protected nursing home where they are reunited with Lisa and meet Granmamare, both of whom have just had a long private conversation. Granmamare asks Sōsuke if he can love Ponyo whether she is a fish or human. Sōsuke replies that he "loves all the Ponyos." Granmamare then allows Ponyo to become human once Sōsuke kisses her on the surface. The film ends with Ponyo jumping up and kissing Sosuke, transforming into a little girl in mid-air.

Nah, doesn't sound depressing.

I was like that in Inception, because I'd read somewhere that in an unexpected plot twist, Ariadne was the Greek goddess of dreams and that she took revenge on all the other characters for their actions.

the dog dies in the end.

He's a ghost.

Well of course, but I didn't know that while watching, and the whole way through I was expecting something bad to happen. It was like the last two Rocky movies. Everyone told me they have downbeat endings, even though they were about as upbeat as the first two.

Wings of Fire · #**929** 12-15-2010, 11:00 AM

An adaption of The Little Mermaid
Aimed at a very young demographic
Written and directed by Miyazaki
For his son

So what on there shouts out mind blowingly tragic?

Emesdee · #**930** 12-15-2010, 11:09 AM

I was told it was a more accurate adaptation than the Disney version for one.
