smonster, and those who appreciated the blue goo vs. something more blood-like, Edgar Wright said during a Q&A that I attended that he went with blue because red would have gotten him a higher rating. He may also have said something about test audiences also preferring it, but I misremember now.

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.

I just...as in less than an hour ago...rewatched Men in Black.
What Sail just said with the Edgar Wright whitefont was totally present in that movie, but I never thought about it. Makes perfect sense that people would be less upset by blue, green, clear goo when someone explodes than red . Huh. Never thought of it like that before.

I thought it was brilliant myself.

Yeah, I remember one of the more disturbing moments from the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers was when Donald Sutherland caves in the head of his duplicate in the making and it looks an awful lot like he just caved in a human's head, not something alien.

For me the scariest moment in that was the dog human centaur made by combining the disabled man in the wheelchair and his helper dog

I'm whitefonting because others are. I fear I'd make a good cartoon lemming.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, that was the scariest moment (along with the shriek at the end - you know the one), but the other was really, really gross.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Watched World War Z. This is not a good movie. The movie had some promise the first 10 minutes, then it went all to fuck. The movie does not really have a story. Events were told through flashbacks and recollections from through the whole middle of the film. And the end...OMG, the end was a trip. First, I pretty much knew what was going to be the ultimate end after a certain supposition was provided. But then a character provides a monologue at the end that is so amusing and out of nowhere, that I don't know what to do except laugh.
The movie isn't particularly boring (lots of action), but the movie doesn't make a lot of sense. There is one scene in particular that was just fucking bizarre - the plane scene was just unbelievable. I mean really. Glad I didn't see this in the theater. Still, it is better than "Man of Steel."
