Hey kid with the big head, get out of the way!

Blair Witch (2016) squeal. I didn't know they were doing this.

The original "Blair Witch Project" is the single most haunting film I've ever seen. I went to see it opening night in a small Chicago indie theater before its mass release and the "spoiler" of it not being real found footage was well known. It was such a simple film, and that's what made it great. The actors were perfect; they didn't look like actors, didn't act like actors. It was like you were really watching actual found footage. And you have to remember this was at a time when the internet was still "new" and we believed anything on it. The marketing was pure genius. The website was the main outlet of media for the film and even with the slightest inclination the movie was real your reaction to the film was amplified. I thought those kids were dead.

There is no way that feeling can be captured again, but this looks like a pretty good movie. It will actually get me in the movie theater for a horror film again.

yep! and it was the first of the "reality" type horror movies...nothing like it had come out before, hell we thought it could be real.

i saw if with my gf at the time...and we were the only people in the theater...the only [expletive] people there (and it was opening night). and this wasn't stadium seating bull [expletive] where you can see all around you. you sit in the middle of the old time theater style seating and it's scary as [expletive] when it's pitch black and you're the only 2 in the theater. you keep thinking you hear [expletive] all around you.

i dont think any one else other than Adam Winguard could pull this off. I'm excited about this one.

[The Third Man]

Yeah, to be honest, I'm actually kind of less hyped for it now that I know it's a Blair Witch sequel, even though I really like the original Blair Witch Project. It's a great film in a lot of ways, and Wingard is a great horror director, but I don't particularly feel the need for a sequel to that film. Still, should be damn good.

suicide squad isn't getting great reviews

[go birds]

its somewhat disappointing to hear that because i such high hopes for it

[Jocephus]

the scuttlebutt i've heard is that after the [expletive] storm of BvS the studio freaked out. the director wanted a "darker" interpretation while the studio wanted the funny pop music friendly version you see in trailers. so they came to some sort of agreement and what we have is what we'll see on the screen but the two sides do not mesh well together so its just a big hot mess.

also being pg13 may not help. i mean, these are murderers and such. but hey, need that teen money.

suicide squad isn't getting great reviews

awesome! means i'll love it!

Man Of Steel? terrible reviews? loved it.

BvS? terrible reviews? loved it.

the new vacation movie? terrible reviews? loved it.

i can't remember the last time i saw a film that got bad reviews, and i didn't like it.

but films that get great reviews? sideways? [expletive] that [expletive]...that movie and those that gave it like a 97% review, can kiss my ass...i'd like a refund please.

if something gets above, say 50% on rotten tomatoes? good chance i'll hate it.

I see why Suicide Squad didn't get great reviews. It started really well then died around the 45 minute mark. I couldn't wait until it was over.
