Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Not a one of you hates.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Celine Dion needs to meet the Gentlemen. Because she has a newish song I hate more than That Song(That song, that you'll think of when Kay tells you're 'just good friends'oh, sorry, wrong rant.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Liese, I can't quite compete with yours, but my hatred of the song (beyond generally not liking the song itself) comes from my upstairs neighbor waking me up at 2am on a work night numerous times by playing that song full blast whenever he brought a girl home.

Just got back from Cabin in the Woods. It was so cool seeing the "Mutant Enemy Production" title during the opening credits!

Of course, being a longtime Mutant Enemy watcher, I figured out the underlying plot pretty much as soon as the eerily familiar chemist mentioned "Downstairs," but it was still mucho entertaining to see how it played out .

Was not fond of the last two seconds of film ( too literal and anthropomorphic, I'd have preferred tentacles or something even less comprehensible ), but the surprise guest shot a few minutes earlier buoyed me up pretty well.

I need to try to figure out, without spoiling myself somehow, if Cabin in the Woods will be too scary for me!

The trailers, IIRC, are a pretty good indicator of the kinds of shocks and starts it packs. There's some gore, but if you can handle watching The Walking Dead it shouldn't be too much for you.

Hey. New board.

Yeah, I didn't think it was that scary. It's definitely a little gory, but there's only one or two "shock" moments and little to none of the suspense I actually find scary.

I also didn't like it as much as I wanted to. I saw where they were going, and I liked where they were going, but I found the implementation to be less successful than I might have liked. It reminded me of my feelings for Jennifer's Body, which I also wanted to like more than I did. I also wanted it to to be actually scarier. I think I would have preferred it if they had "chosen" almost ANY of the other monsters, almost all of whom I found way creepier than the redneck zombies.

I also agree with you, Matt, re: the ending.

My problem with The Walking Dead has to do with the annoying characters not the gore!

I have a problem with a certain kind of creepy. I didn't think The Ring was that good but I couldn't sleep for 3 nights after seeing it. Also, The Blair Witch Project freaked my shit out.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I don't watch or like horror movies, but I both really liked The Crow and Seven, and both sent me into an existential week of despair and depression.

I also consider Nothing But Trouble to be the most evil movie ever shudders, and have had nightmares stemming from Dumb and Dumber.

The Ring messed my sleep up for a couple days too, though while watching I didn't think it was as scary as the Japanese original or Ju-on.
