Oz The Gweat And Tewwible

Mar 22, 2010 13:34

The subject line really has nothing to do with this post at all. Just rambling on about things that I've done recently. Things that are fun and different, as opposed to normal everyday things like poopin'.

( Part 1: I <3 V-Day. No wait, I <3 alcohol. That makes much more sense. )

movies, food, travel, drinking

Your awsomeness continues to amaze me. However...

"I want to sit and watch all the Saw movies back to back."

HG is FUCKED UP!!!

Personally, I think it's the best way to watch movie series. I want to own and run a theater that ONLY shows movie series. You could watch LOTR back to back, or Star Wars I-VI, or Back to the Future, or a Halloween weekend of terror. So much potential!

She likes clever horror movies. Saw is better than your average "kill them all" class gorefest film. Kinda lags in the middle few, but gets better around V and VI.

Helps to have an "upper" movie to follow that kind of epic marathon, though. But now I forgot what we watched to be the chaser. Heh.

I agree with the series theater. That would be cool. I don't care for horror movies at all, and watching them back to back... more power to her though!

Someone once tried to convince me that Alien was a horror movie. O.o

I think Alien IS a horror movie. It follows many of the staple "horror" elements: making the audience jump (from the facehugger to the Alien snatching Dallas and Parker to the final scene in the escape shuttle), some blood and guts (mostly Kane getting the male version of a C-section), the dwindling cast of characters (from 7 and 1 cat to 1 and 1 cat) (the animal never gets it) in complete isolation (spaceship fifty years from Earth might as well be a lost cabin in the woods)... I think it's a very special horror movie.

Aliens, of course, is not. That's action all the way down. And that's all good.

I guess because it's science fiction, and not human against human, I don't see it as horror. And blood and torture and knives and guts and... Suspense! Yeah, suspense. :D

Suspense... ok, I can follow that. I guess I can lump nonhuman into "horror". Giant unrelenting murderous alien is no different than, say, a dog in "Cujo", or a malevolent spectre in "The Ring". Suspense and horror do have a thin line sometimes, though. This is true.
