Speaking of evil dead...went and saw it today. Prolly the goriest movie I've ever seen.

Did you watch the Bruce Campbell version of the 90s?

I tried watching the other night but fell asleep and never got around to finishing it.

I LOVED THAT MOVIE even though it was terrible. I want to hear a review from someone who loved the Bruce Campbell version.

Bruce Campbell can't do no wrongin my book. I need to finish it tho to see how they compare.

It doesn't have nearly the cheese or camp or fun of the original but it's gory as all [expletive] get-out. I was really glad to have seen it.

I winced four or five times during this thing, and I NEVER wince at horror movies. Of course, I also laughed every time I winced because I couldn't believe the director was a big enough dick to do that to his audience so many times. And the whole theater seemed to have that vibe- lots of laughs at the truly crazy gory stuff.

There were a couple throwback moments in the movie--one that immediately comes to mind is the scene towards the end where the fire goes out.

But yea, I'm the same way regarding gore. The only other movie that made me cringe was hostel.

The gore in evil dead was so damn realistic.

I don't understand the appeal of seeing bodies dismantled, disemboweled - or sewn together, for that matter.

I know it's a couple years old, but has anyone seen Take Shelter, w/ the always awesome Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain?

What'd you think? I really enjoyed. Pretty mesmerizing. Mental illness, tough times in America, heavy, stuff.
Though, I know it's open to multiple interpretations.

Was the "storm" in the last scene:
- a storm indicating his life as he knew it, marriage, etc... was over?
- a sign he wasn't Schizo after all?
- or a sign that, yup, he's Schizo, but this time his wife and child saw the storm, so, his family will help him through it?

I loved that movie, and I'm a pretty big fan of Michael Shannon in general. I thought it was one of the better movies from that year and probably deserved a best picture nomination.

it would have been 80s, not 90s but im guessing thats a typo

original evil dead series is incredible. not really even interested in the new one...

evil dead 2 is the best of the series. one of my favorite movies ever.

I have had "Take Shelter" on my DVR for a couple of weeks now. As soon as I get through "Blue Velvet" I'm gonna watch it.

Nice, let me know what you think.

I still haven't seen Take Shelter, rather inexcusably. I need to get around to it before Nichols' next - Mud, starring Matthew McConaughey (who, go figure, is about 75% of the reason I'm excited for it - never thought I'd be using him as a barometer for what movies to see) - is released.
