Re: Cabin in the Woods

I'm very much not go-to-the-theater-to-see-horror-movies guy - this is the first time I've intentionally done so since The Sixth Sense. I almost didn't go at all, despite really wanting to see the movie based purely on pedigree.

But went I did, with Brian, Dorkman, Trey, Cloe, and Jeff. We had fun.

And I really liked it. Jeff and I have been talking about it all night, he's not as into it as I am, maybe I can coerce him to come in here and share his opinion. I thought it was a blast.

Re: Cabin in the Woods

That and "The Raid" are the two movies out right now that I really want to see. I'll have to wait until next week, tho, cause I already spent too much money this week tongue

Nah, smoking that much weed was a part of his unadulterated character. There was a throw-away line about how him smoking so much was neutralizing all the other chemicals they were trying to get into his system.

Which echoes those lines from the beginning about chemistry fucking up.


The movie was a lot of fun and well considered.

The Angry Molesting Tree was my favorite part of that first elevator foyer shot.

Right, I get it now, thanks, Paulou. I think I missed that line smile

Re: Cabin in the Woods

I had a great time. By the time the INSANE third act rolled around, I was totally sold.

I saw this today, the only one at the noon showing (a huge flock of teen girls were getting tickets for something, though). I liked it, but... it would have been better if people didn't keep saying "don't read spoilers!" It's a straightforward tale where you know what's going on for the most part by the time the eagle shows up. The expected big twist never really came, at least for me.

Re: Cabin in the Woods

Spoilers don't always mean there's a traditional twist. There are details to the execution that are best experienced first hand.

Re: Cabin in the Woods

But that makes it no different then most other movies. Not being told not to be spoiled would have helped me not be looking for something that wasn't there smile

Re: Cabin in the Woods

The whole third act is the reason why people are saying 'don't read spoilers'. I think people expect it to be just a 'cabin in the woods' type film with a killer or a monster. The fact that it goes in a different direction is reason enough to tell people to avoid spoiler, to let them experience that wonderful final third themselves. It takes a 'seen-it-all-before' horror premise, fucks with it and creates a batshit insane film that plays with convention and stereotypes. I think it is a pretty big twist.

You would think I thought the film was excellent when I'd give it a solid 3/5. I did love the last act though, that was awesome. smile

Re: Cabin in the Woods

The growth of Spoony's fanbase went to his head. The Phantasmagoria 2 Let's Play is amazing, but nowadays he's kind of a pretentious knob.

EDIT: Jesus, the longer that video goes on, the more respect I lose for him. He thinks that namedropping Joseph Campbell somehow makes his opinion superior. Can't stand people like that.

Re: Cabin in the Woods

I'm not even going to watch the video. I think Spoony is a bit of a twat. I never watch his videos on TGWTG any more.
