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.
Question--was the scene near the start of the movie where Gary was telling his story to the circle of people AA or a psychiatric facility?
I thought the latter, my sister thinks the former.
eta:
Did anyone here catch *all* the quintet's surnames? I sure didn't.
I thought the former until the reveal at The World's End when Gary shows Andy his bandages. Then I agreed with you.
That's when I switched too, but my sister said the room was wrong. I have to admit--I don't remember the room.
The latter was my take.
ita, I have read a review that it was a AA meeting (but everyone was in institutional green), but the bandages seem to indicate to me that while he has a substance abuse problem, his crisis was a suicide attempt .
It was definitely not an AA meeting. AA meetings have very distinctive twelve-step literature on the walls, which if you know what to look for you'll see in movies as well as real life. It was definitely a suicide attempt support group of some kind.
I'm not even sure where to put this trailer because it pings so many of our collective interests.
I give you, Peter Dinklage, Summer Glau, Ryan Kwantan, Danny Pudi, Josh Malina, Steve Zahn and, oh so many others in Knights of Badassdom.
Seriously, it's like they have been reading our mail.
I am not a fan of either Scream parodies or horror, in general, but this movie I will see.
Just, well, because...LARPing! And it's like a cool home movie that a bunch of my old friends made on a lark.
also a point in its favor is it is a comedy, but not a spoof, with some of the horror played straight. Which may (no guarantees) mean slightly less desperation for laughs on the writers part.
Is that movie finally coming out? I first saw the trailer at least a year ago, and last I heard, it was delayed indefinitely.
