At least we both hate the movie... and everyone else out there :)Maynard Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484689288762406307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934442331703842391.post-82993053557701394392012-02-01T09:56:55.782-08:002012-02-01T09:56:55.782-08:00I don't actually see a lot of movie posters, b...I don't actually see a lot of movie posters, but I do occasionally get sucked in by ads on TV and such. Insidious was one such instance- gave me the impression it was gonna be like Paranormal Activity with a bigger payoff, but then... that. Honestly I didn't hate it, but it was a big disappointment. Another would be the remake of Friday the 13th; my first impression was something like "Woo! New Uncle Jason movie!", and then... I couldn't even finish the damn thing, and I forced myself to finish Audition and A Serbian Film.Mad Jesternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934442331703842391.post-35810533014748026692012-02-01T09:29:28.232-08:002012-02-01T09:29:28.232-08:00Check out the poster for A*P*E (1976) sometime.

Technically speaking, everything on that poster happens in the movie. But the processes used to achieve them in the movie were so cheap and threadbare they can't legally be called special effects. They are mandated to be called ordinary effects. The only thing true on that poster - it is NOT to be confused with Dino's King Kong. That movie was a masterpiece compared to this one. Of course it goes without saying I love A*P*E and own it on DVD.

Whomever decided to have the little kid voiceover in the Woman in Black ads do the "she'll be here on Friday" or whatever they've changed it to now? That idiot should be drawn and quartered. Seriously. Changes the entire tone of the ad!<br /><br />The Happening made me so angry I started quoting The Lorax in the middle of the theater. But I have such a stalkery girl crush on Zooey Deschanel that I watched the whole blessed thing just because I was mesmerized by her fringe. I will give M Night this: if I go in stoned, I might not notice that he wrote a short story and stretched it out to 18 hours. I might like the pretty pictures!<br /><br />Also- The Unborn has Gary Oldman? I love terrible movies, and Hubby loves Gary Oldman. I am ordering that for Valentine's Day. It'll be sweet.pensive pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228801550471279348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934442331703842391.post-14134794845813634832012-02-01T08:52:37.587-08:002012-02-01T08:52:37.587-08:00Long time reader, first time poster..... :)
All I...Long time reader, first time poster..... :)<br /><br />All I have to see to know the movie is going to be crap is the name <br />M. Night Shyamalan. He did 1 movie that did not suck so hard I felt my skull was being pressed into a cheese block. The Sixth Sense. That was it. I walked out of The Village in the theater. And I will never watch The Happening again. Nor Signs, Unbreakable, or any of the others. So much suck....like a black hole sucking in my time and giving nothing in return.Kenkirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934442331703842391.post-79172725286497761032012-02-01T04:39:27.135-08:002012-02-01T04:39:27.135-08:00Insidious was pure crap!
