Event Horizon was on the spooky space mystery movie track until Kathleen Quinlan took a header onto a metal deck twenty feet below. Then it took an abrupt left turn onto the incomprehensible gore fest track. And then Sam Neill put his eyes out.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Oh, man, I shouldn't have looked at Paul W.S. Anderson's IMDB page. I didn't actually realize he did both movies we'd been talking about. But Mortal Kombat and Soldier didn't suck. I wonder what happened to Event Horizon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dana, Mortal Kombat did suck. There was a memo.

I tolerated Mortal Kombat flying!kicks much better than Event Horizon which I saw on laser disk at the insistance of a professional movie reviewer.
I was speechless with disdain and excused myself politely from her lvoely home...then never read another word she wrote.

I liked Mortal Kombat. Again, it didn't pretend to be anything other than what it was. When Christopher Lambert is your big mystical guy, you can't take yourself that seriously. (Hear that, Highlander 4?)

Also, all the chickfighting was appalling. I used up my suspension of disbelief on Buffy.

Okay, I've worked very hard to eradicate all traces of Event Horizon from my memory so everyone can just stop talking about it RIGHT NOW.
