Poll: My Bloody Valentine 3D
I was unexpectedly overtaken by a bout of glee over "My Bloody Valentine 3D" at work today. It was very unexpected since I'm not into slasher films and had been kind of neutral except for the "Oh cool, Jensen's in a movie that might actually make it to my hometown theatre and video store" factor. However, today I am suffused with glee so here, have

I've never liked slasher movies either. I haven't seen any of the Halloween/Friday the 13th/Nightmare franchises, at all. However, from what little I know, MBV has a bit of a 'whodunnit' air to the plot. Even that might not normally be enough to get me into a theatre to see it, but add Jensen in a major role? I'll make an exception. :-)
I made the same exception for "Ten Inch Hero". I do not like romantic comedies. At all. I find them insipid, boring and pointless unless there's zombies in them or some sci-fi or fantasy element or a non-social puzzle involved. But I took part of my extremely limited vacation time, spent over a hundred bucks all told to go see "Ten Inch Hero" when there was a showing within a feasible distance. I didn't regret seeing the movie because it showed a different facet to Jensen's abilities as an actor.
Jared's movie is a bit more of a hard sell for me to see in the theatre because I'm not (yet) as much of a fan of Jared's acting as I am of Jensen's, and Jared's movie has no element of 'whodunnit'. No puzzle to solve, just the traditional slasher formula, gore and screaming. Also, it's coming from an already well-known franchise of movies, and will likely have a moderate to decent box office presence. I'll probably wait for DVD.
I'm definitely not trying to shift you from your stance on the movie, just explaining why I'm going to see it. It's so out-of-character for me to be this excited over this type of movie, I'm kind of shaking my head in amazement. :-D
