The anticipation builds . . .
So. Horror movies. Somewhat controversial in some of the circles in which I run. I personally am not into gore flix, but a good scary movie? Always a plus. And how does one classify Sweeney Todd the movie? A horror musical? 'Cause, dude. The movie? Yeah, there was gore. Cringe-inducing gore. But anyone who follows this LJ knows how much I love the stage production, and I give the movie points just for being Sweeney.
I've got several reviews in my archives for horror movies, too. So apparently I'm not adverse to the genre.
But seeing the pop-up ads for My Bloody Valentine 3D? I'm getting way more excited than is strictly necessary, considering: A) it's a re-make; and B) it's gore.
However, every time I see a pop-up, I can't help but think, "Jensen's new movie! In actual theaters! On actual big screens! And in 3D to boot! This is gonna be fanTAStic!"
Because seriously, I'm very excited for the man. Probably more than I should be considering I've never even met him. But his first big-time movie! That's exciting!
I've read here and there that some people are worried he's going to be typecast in the horror genre. But seriously? I don't think that's a concern. He's done a lot of genre stuff, yeah, but that's not where he got his start, and he's done other stuff, too. I really wish you all could see Still Life, because that is an excellent example of his work in a little bit of everything--family drama, mystery, romance, even crime drama to a lesser extent.
I just am all a-squee that he's having the opportunity to expand his resume into feature film. And the horror genre is commercially successful, so this is a plus in my book.
Even if I do have to watch the goo through my fingers.
