Well, instead of finishing up those T-buffer images I got yanked out to see Blair Witch Project at the last minute tonight instead. Guess what, the movie did just about nothing for me. The majority of other people who watched the movie seemed to get a kick out of it though but I just pretty much couldnt get drawn into the movie. Probably didnt help that some knobgobbler's cell phone rang in the middle of the movie and he wouldnt even answer it to stop the ringing. Pffft









  • Alright alright, the movie wasn\'t the best ever, but it sure was chilling at the end, you have to admit. Yes the camerawork was vomity, the constant bickering annoying, and the fact that they had a compass, but got completely lost dumb. But I swear I had goosebumps in that ending scene. That was downright disturbing and I haven\'t been able to shake that image for the past few days. I just think we\'re all accustomed to movies with constant action and eye candy. Novel idea for a movie, but could be improved upon. Mostly by not telling ANYONE that it\'s not real.

  • I say \"BAH!\" to all you uncultured fudge packers who didn\'t like that movie. It freaked me out more than any other \"horror\" (translated: gore intensive) movie I\'ve ever seen. However, there were several people in my theater who voiced opinions similar to yours in loud and blaring (no pun intended) manner. These people I could pretty much all lump into one of three groups: ignorant and boorish hicks, punk ass high school kids, and bitches who probably thought it was cool but were too weak to say anything in front of their friends who are in one of the first two categories. BAH to all you naysayers!!

  • #25: If you check out a lot of plot outlines to other great (action/thriller) movies you\'ll notice that they too have just as much plot:

    The Terminator(http://uk.imdb.com/Details?0088247):\"A human-looking, apparently unstoppable cyborg is sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor; Kyle Reese is sent to stop it.\"

    Terminator 2(http://uk.imdb.com/Details?0103064):A shape-shifting cyborg is sent back from the future to kill John Connor before he can grow up to lead the resistance; a protector is sent, too.\"

    Aliens(http://uk.imdb.com/Details?0090605):\"The planet from _Alien (1979)_ (qv) has been colonized, but contact is lost. This time, the rescue team has impressive firepower, enough?\"

    I could go on forever. The plot outline doesn\'t mean a thing and who needs a plot in an Arnold movie... 8)

    If you want to excercise your brain go see \"The usual suspects\" (which btw has this plot outline: \"Five villains in New York are rounded up by police in an unconventional manner that worries them. After release, they get together for a spot of revenge, but someone else is controling events.\"

  • I just got back from \"Blair Witch\", and I too agree that it sucked much ass. HOWEVER, after much contemplation, I figured out that the lame ending was not what everyone thought. Turns out there was no witch if you really think about it. I don\'t want tp spoil the ending, but if anyone wants I\'ll explain why there was no witch, and who really whacked the filmakers. It\'s kind of obvious when you think about it. Anyway, speak up if you want my idea on the ending. It will at least make paying $7.00 more stomachable when you know what happened.
