If you knew that and didn't know "Killing In the Name", you suck as a person.

It would definitely work well with a big crowd the way TMBG did it.

There are enough songs that made the cut that I'll be looking forward to the series (I had suggested Arcade Fire as a write-in and I'm glad to see that made it).

They're called "pith helmets"

Yet another gun-related one is Gary Paulson's novel 'The Rifle'.

I was thinking mostly of the moment where everyone starts dancing to a techno-fied version of "Respect"

I give it a B-. The story was nothing new and the jump scares pissed me off—so many of those little moments would have been better without the "BAM!" musical cues. Those sounds ruin a movie just like a laugh track ruins a comedy. But they succeeded in creating a perfectly creepy atmosphere with that house.

That Elton John bit is one of the worst commercials I have ever seen. I feel even dumber than I was before having watched it.

I thought he was Chinese…

Me too.

There should also be a moratorium on bands using "noun + gerund" to come up with their band names.

That initial scene where the 'Darth Maul' guy appeared creeped me out. It came out of nowhere, and the fact that it happened in broad daylight made it even scarier. Afterwards, I realized that, yeah, it looks like Darth Maul but I was genuinely unnerved by it the first time.

I look forward to an hour of well-crafted slow burn and a few decent scary scenes before I leave the theater at the very end to avoid the disappointed ending.

The trailer looks intriguing. I'll check it out. The last good (that is, most recent) horror film I've seen was Sauna.

"There's still plenty of successful rock bands living like it's 1982 and they're REO Speedwagon; it's just the music that's coming out of it isn't any good and won't have any lasting impact."

"…then underscoring the jolts with obnoxious “gotcha” noises. It’s scary, but it’s the easy sort of scary."

I would have thought that 40-year old managers of fast food restaurants were highly intelligent  and capable of making clear, analytical decisions.

I'm kind of hoping the the 2012 conspirators are right, if it means I don't have to see this movie come to fruition.

I don't even know what 'hipster' means anymore. It seems to exist entirely as a strawman—has anyone actually said the things you're claiming hipsters say?
