Saw had some pretty interesting deaths. Also Audition. I can't think of any that I couldn't actually watch though. The only thing that I have to watch through my fingers is people embarrasing themselves.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

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.

Thrive to spite them
I definitly did not see Saw. I wish I hadn't seen the trailer for Saw 2 before Serenity.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I saw a preview for Prime that had a dog pulling the exact move (minus the couch) that Ollie did to Kristin.
For those who don't know the story, Ollie has a citronella collar, that shoots him when he barks. Except when he looks up at Kristin and barks. Then it shoots her right in the face. He, of course, had no idea.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Egad. Grave of the Fireflies is on the Asian Channel.
Note to the Hormonally Challenged Pregnant Lady to NOT be watching the angst-ridden melodramatic Japanese Anime.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Shopgirl is a nice movie. I don't remember enough specifics about the book to tell how faithful an adaptation it is, but I think it was good.

Hey. New board.
Reading about "interesting deaths" popped various images from Final Destination and Final Destination 2 into my head. Terrible movies, seriously, but whoever wrote them had a knack for freaky-ass death. Great combination of the long drawn-out tease deaths (the first death in the sequel, especially, where there's about 25 things that you THINK are gonna kill the guy before he actually dies), the merely nauseating (the elevator death in the sequel), to the almost comedic (the train hitting the metal thing and decapitating the guy in the first one), with the (rare) occasionally actually scary one: the first death in the first movie, for example, is quite creepifying.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Grave of the Fireflys is the most depressing movie ever.

move out and draw fire

Jars and I clearly share a brain.
