I've got a pretty extreme startle reflex. Movies where things jump out of shadows or stuff comes out of nowhere with big dramatic music leave me jumpy for days. Should I avoid Cabin in the Woods? (The one Scream movie I saw drove me nuts, because they used that "dum DUMMMM" music when things happened like some random guy walked in and waved, and it made me jump every single time.)
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

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.

I don't think it's for you, Hil. There are a lot of things jumping out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If you think you're seeing a horror movie, there aren't that many startley-scary bits. But for a movie in general, yes.
I liked it! And I guess I only see movies with Hemsworths this year? Also seeing it back to back with Hunger Games was kind of fascinating, and not only for that reason.

I just saw Cabin in the Woods just now, and the other a few weeks ago.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Jesse, I made the same comparison in my mind.

Oh, gotcha. I was considering doing a double feature since I am proving not very good about getting to the theater, but both movies look like they will need processing time after.

Oh yeah, not an actual double-feature.

Re: Cabin
Fun movie, kind of agree with Gris,kind of think they wanted to keep things simple. Neutral on Matt's point.
But no one's mentioned "Primeval" yet? Shame, people.
