I'm not convinced you're correct about why "Dodd" sings that song at the end. To be honest, I haven't the foggiest idea why he did that. Its one of the most confusing scenes in recent cinema.

Yeah, the cavern was even located in Romania. Anyway, "The Cave" was pretty lame; hopefully this is better.

Yes, the end sucked.

I'm a big horror fan, and I really wanted to like this. While it certainly had some strong moments, overall I found it fairly weak, and feel like its the recipient of some kind of critical affirmative action, due to its being a woman-centered, non-Hollywood film. Its not a bad film by any means, but based on the…

I intend to pay to see it myself, but I don't give a crap what sex the director is.

The second segment (the one in Spanish) was almost good. The rest of it was rather terrible. So bad, it made "Creepshow 2" look good. Not quite "Trick 'r' Treat"-level awful, but pretty lousy. The 3rd segment, and the wrap-around segment, were extremely low-quality, and just plain awful.

Tastes and opinions vary, of course, but "Trick 'r' Treat" is one of the worst movies I've ever sat all the way through. Its not just a bad film; its absolute cinematic garbage of the lowest order. I suppose someone had to like it, but I'm pretty sure you're in a small subset of the people who viewed it.

In fairness, when I'm at work, I'm allowed to browse the web…but I'm required to use Internet Explorer 6.0 to do it. So as you can well imagine, things don't always work as well as they could.

Get off my lawn!

Well, now I feel stupid. Presumably not for the last time.

I'm not interested in the details of Mr. Smith's personal life. So no, I didn't know any of that, and now that I do, I'm unclear how any of it should affect my opinions on his various films.

Yes, but how are these "stoner comedies," other than in the sense that some marketing guy characterized them as that at some point? They don't require one to smoke marijuana prior to viewing, in order for them to be enjoyable. If someone thought they did, I would suspect I was dealing with someone still in igh…

"7. All of the victims had holes in the tops of their mouths. They made a point (a La Pointe, haha) of telling us this. THIS IS NEVER EXPLAINED."

I enjoyed "Tusk." Its very funny, and yet manages to still maintain some credibility as a creepy horror film, due almost entirely to the near-brilliant performance of Michael Parks (his character also had an amazing back story, and the vast bulk of the good lines). I usually don't enjoy comedic-horror fusions, but…

I find it amusing that as an adult, you still seem to think that the fact you smoke marijuana constitutes a salient part of our identity. The fact someone smokes pot pretty much tells us nothing about a given person anymore; its use is simply too too widespread. Its a bit like associating Marlboros with guys who…

Yes, the mongoose had just finished off Dirk-Benedict-in-king-cobra-form, right as his love interest figured out the origin at that additional snake, and was struck numb with existential horror (which she expressed with a blood-curling scream, while the camera closed in on her face, and the words "The End?," appeared…

Its seven iterations of the letter "S," just for the record, and I recall watching that movie all alone (on KBHK 44 in the Bay Area), during the 4th grade (which would have made it either 1979, or 1980), and it was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. My then-wife had the precise same memory, so we…

I don't care for the expression myself, but I hear people around my age (44), using "butthurt" all the time. I have no idea which TV show it apparently originated with (nor, I suspect, do the people who use it). Its a very common slang term in ordinary American speech these days, frankly.

People who've actually seeen the movie, do seem to be enjoying it, contrary to assumptions about how bad it simply "must" be. I'm not a particular fan of Kevin Smith, but I plan on seeing this tomorrow.

Could be. More likely he has tax issues.
