Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Didn't God (or, you know, lightning) smite the little girl at the end?

Lightning. In the novel, she survives to continue her murdering ways.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I hate to bring this discussion lowbrow with a slasher movie (but it's John Carpenter, so stop judging me) but Halloween-- oh, that movie fucked my shit up. What scared me: every single time Myers would be in a shot, then the shot would cut away, then cut back, and he would be vanished. Second, of course, is him rising behind Jamie Lee Curtis.

Is Bravo going to rerun that scariest moments special? I watched that all the way through and I usually do all I can to avoid horror.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I want to rewatch that now that I've seen Audition. Because I didn't watch the moments from that, because it seemed like a movie I'd want to see and be surprised by. Now I want their PoV.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I've not seen the film, but just the clips they showed were enough to freak me out. Not at all implausible the way unkillable camp counselors or dream-haunting burn victims are.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Was Audition as fucking creepy as it seemed?

God, yes. And not least of all because of the switch in tone. There were bits I really knew I couldn't watch, but I'm not sure the sounds alone weren't worse.

So nasty.

t puts Audition on list of things to never never never see

Joe still still curses the inDemand listing if it shows Ring 2.

I kept my eyes closed at the Audition part of the Bravo special. When Rob Zombie is admitting that a movie is fucked up, that movie is Fucked. UP.

I wonder what Criss Angel thinks of Audition...
