Last movie you watched......

I can't believe how much money those are making. Considering how cheap they are to make, I wouldn't be surprised if we have Saw 23 and Paranormal Activity 17 in our future.

 

No more Saw movies, please! (I'm pretty sure it's over anyways). I really liked those at first but they milked the shit out of that franchise and it paid dearly with plot.

 

@DickWhitman - I loved "Black Swan" and it remains one of my favorite movies. Clint Mansell's score is fucking spectacular.

 

The first Saw movie was one of the scariest movies I've seen. It stuck with me for awhile too and that doesn't happen very often.

 

I think if I had seen it opening weekend in the theater I would have been pissed. Watching it on PPV was more what it deserved.

There's nothing bad about it, it just doesn't live up to the bar set by some of the Superhero movies, although that bar seems to be getting lower every day.

Plus, Blake Lively is smoking hot.

 

Loved that one. It obviously, I believe, remains the best of the series. And what a twist. Wow.

 

I thought the acting was so bad in the original "Saw" that I couldn't get into whatever else was going on. I recognize that this may be idiosynchratic on my part, though, and it's not meant as a knock against people who did enjoy it. Because the acting was poor, I couldn't buy the characters, and therefore I couldn't buy the stakes.

 

Zodiac. Had seen it before, but it was on again last night.

Obviously, a fascinating story and the Chronicle connection. Oh, and Chloe Sevigney is always nice to look at it, even if she plays a rather homely character as Graysmith's girlfriend-wife.

 

Great movie...

 

Mizzou, IIRC, you're from NoCal. Any thoughts on the actual case? Or Paul Avery?

I realize the actual events probably predate your existence, but curious what you might have picked up over the years.

 

It was before my time. I was born in 1973, but it was definitely something you grew up knowing about.

I'll never forget the guy who was one of the main suspects died during my first week of college in August 1992. I'm spacing his name...

 

Ides of March. A helluva lot of fun if you like skanky politics.
