Though, there *did* seem to be at least a little intelligence and humor behind it. I liked the scene where a truck moves to reveal to the escaping guy in the car the three people that had lured him there, and what he did when he saw them.<BR/><BR/>I felt like the second movie didn't even have the small glimmer of wit in it, though I could see the director trying for it.<BR/><BR/>I don't have any hard data to prove this, but it's my understanding that these kinds of movies aren't doing so well at the box office. So, perhaps this genre is on the wane. Maybe it'll eventually be confined to direct-to-video stuff (if that market even exists at this point).<BR/><BR/>I like that word cellhole. The theater was definitely packed with them last night.Splotchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427992716600704581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-53472088259662642512007-07-25T12:31:00.000-05:002007-07-25T12:31:00.000-05:00"...It was like nihilism and a poop-throwing monke..."...It was like nihilism and a poop-throwing monkey had a baby together."<BR/><BR/>Great quote!<BR/><BR/>Our eldest, in refusing to watch Hostel with us at home, said it would be embarrassing to see it with us. "Why" I asked? <BR/><BR/>"Because the first half is a softcore porn film, followed by a torture film."<BR/><BR/>There's a whole subgenre of movies now, fairly popular (I'm not sure if SAW or Hostel started the trend) that are basically movies just about torturing people. I love splatter movies, I love movie gore, but for some reason I have a really difficult time watching stuff like this. I recently saw (hah) the third SAW movie and it bothered me. And I've seen shit like that in real life and had no trouble handling it.<BR/><BR/>I find the whole thing very sad.<BR/><BR/>Hey, though, on a lighter note, my eldest also has a great word for the mobile phone users you describe. She calls them "cellholes."Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747874295331152779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-3948377046850554782007-07-25T10:15:00.000-05:002007-07-25T10:15:00.000-05:00Please do!Please do!Splotchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427992716600704581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-18925500896459550122007-07-25T09:45:00.000-05:002007-07-25T09:45:00.000-05:00I was getting a haircut yesterday, and a stupid 20...I was getting a haircut yesterday, and a stupid 20-something was yammering on his cell phone. This is an old school barbershop-- you just don't do that there. <BR/><BR/>My old barber, who retired a few years ago, didn't mess around-- he just put up a sign forbidding cell phones. <BR/><BR/>I think I've mentioned that the Lagrange Theater was the site of my most awful, yet fun movie-going experience.
