    Watched it last night and that's about what I thought.

    Possible spoiler alert ...














    I did think they borrowed a little heavily on Star Wars story arc though.

    Re:Saw

    I don't like Horror movies at all.

    I was on a 5 hour bus ride thru Cuba on a tourist bus and one of the passengers must have given it to the driver to play. I thought the story was cool and well executed but talk about a wildly inappropriate movie to show to a captive audience.

    It's so damn dirty, isn't it? I thought it was a very tight script with fantastic dialogue and the best acting of any movie I've seen in theaters this year. Gosling might get a Best Actor nod and Seymor-Hoffman should no doubt get a nod and possible victory from BSA. Clooney was great, too.

    Fail-Safe. Oldie but a goodie. Henry Fonda as the president. And a young Larry Hagman as his Russian interpretor.

    I was a kid going to grammar school in SF during the murders and it was damn scary (I read the newspaper). I remember being scared whenever it got dark.

    I saw the movie and while it looks like Avery (the suspect at the end right?), I'd think more concrete evidence would come out eventually.

    We saw 'Paranormal Activity 3' last night.
    I like this franchise. I just really get a kick out of these movies.
     
  7. I don't mean this to be a jerk but what, exactly, do you get a kick out of? I'm asking sincerely. I saw the first two and found them incredibly dull and boring and not scary at all. As someone who enjoys them, what is it about them you like?

    I have a free PPV movie from Dish. My choices I've limited it down to:

    Horrible Bosses
    Margin Call
    Father of Invention (mostly because I like Spacey, though it got horrible audience reviews on rottentomatoes)
    Source Code
    Unknown
    Cedar Rapids


    Or wait and see what's on the list next month?

    See, I'm torn. Bateman? Gyllenhaal?

    My loins weep.

    Watched documentaries "Winnebago Man" and "I Think We're Alone Now", the first dealing with finding the man who did that hilarious infomercial for the Winnebago in the late 1980s and cursed up a hilarious storm while doing it and the latter dealing with two mentally disturbed people who are stalkerishly obsessed with 1980s pop singer Tiffany.

    I was in the mood to watch films about crazy people, I guess.

    Both are fascinating in a Can't-help-but-watch-this-trainwreck sort of way.

    "I Think We're Alone Now" is so surreal, you almost wonder if it isn't a mockumentary along the lines of Spinal Tap. One of the men has Asberger's Syndrome and has a restraining order against him from Tiffany. The other is a hermaphrodite who is addicted to running and taping pictures of her creepily head-high along his walls and appliances.

    Creeeeeeepy.
