What was the last movie you've seen?

That's just an asshole remark my friend...

Really...

you don't take jokes very well.

Disguised condescending semi-jokes. No, not really...

It was a mediocre movie. Nothing more, nothing less...

I'll just assume from your previous posts that you were high while watching it.

That's just an asshole remark my friend...

Really...

Cabin in the Woods



Pretty good. Basically a horror fan's love letter to the genre.

"pretty good"? Is this a joke post?

Are you joking? You're acting like I said it was bad movie. I'm saying it was a good movie.

No secret that I screen a ton of movies. No secret that's due to the fact that a few people in the industry highly value my opinion. No secret I view movies differently than everyone on this board. I also think Full House was a great show, so my opinions are as open to interpretation as all. That said:

"Mediocre" is the last word I would use to describe CABIN IN THE WOODS. "Brilliant" better described the film. In the age of spoilers, sure, if you knew what was going to happen a lot of the fun is sucked out of Cabin.

Going into CABIN with no knowledge of the film, I thought the projectionist started the wrong movie. Besides my one minor complaint CABIN is one of the genuine films I've seen this year. Completely original, and accomplishes everything it set out to do.

Yes, I loved this and Marvel's The Avengers, but I'm not on the Whedon tip. Buffy, Firefly, Angel, did nothing for me. Nothing. CABIN was fresh, new, well produced, well written, well acted, and was a well needed breath of fresh air. It's one of a kind. The good kind.

weird. @chris/stickem... what are your tastes in horror films generally? I'm just kind of curious because up til now I hadn't heard anybody tell me they saw Cabin and disliked it.

@BurningDoom... I was just asking for clarification, really. "Pretty good" to me sounded like "eh... it was OK." I was trying to figure out if you meant it like.

Really? Besides the twist ending, it just throws horror movie cliche after horror movie cliche at you. It does this very well, which why I liked it because I'm a horror movie fan. And is the reason I described it as "a horror movie fan's love letter to the genre." But "completely original" is definetly something I would not use to describe the film.

it is the explanation of the cliches that makes it original. You know what I'm talking about without having to go into spoilers.

i can appreciate the message/satire of the film, but don't watch movies for that. i just simply want to be entertained. a few horror movies i've liked over the past few years were high tension, the strangers,the hills have eyes, the saw films, midnight meat train, house of 1000 corpses. i know they hit every cliche in the book, but really that's what i want to see. and generally hate zombie, ghost, or demon type movies, mainly cause they don't frighten me.

CABIN has a Reaver and a Kevin. If that's not enough for you guys, well...
