Haha, yeah that was awesome.

Loved the fact that Slick was played by the guy from Everwood. Haha!

[bright lights, big city]

and the fact that Slick and Ivan rocked the 80s-shades-Risky-Business look.

so this was pretty much just a porno. i thought it would have some sort of context...which it kind of did i suppose, but it's just a porno. generally speaking, it was boring. i was very much entertained by all the men and what they were able to, um, do though.

Is Netflix any good? My family is trying to decide between Satellite and Netflix. Does netflix get the most recent movies? Or is satellite the better option?

We would be streaming netflix through my xbox 360. I think the satellite quality would be better, am i right?

Just got back from Scream 4.

Loved it! As good as the original.

Good to hear.

On another note has anyone here seen Limitless yet? I have to say it was the best movie i've seen in a while.

i'm so glad. i'm such a fan of scream. i love the original for one reason and one reason only:

Haha! He's great in that flick.

Seeing a Scream movie on the big screen was pretty nostalgic for me. The first Scream was the first horror flick I ever saw and I was only 13 when Scream 3 was in theatres. So it was awesome to finally see Ghostface slashing people up on the big screen.

The "killer reveal" will definitely be a love/hate thing. I loved it and thought it was clever...given the times we live in.

you're spot on. it's so nostalgic. i can never forget the opening scene of scream with drew barrymore. the best scene. scared the crap out of me. i haven't watched scream 2 and 3. i heard they weren't any good. i should probably check them out before i see scream 4.

the first scream film is embedded in my brain. i've watched it so many times.

Johnny Depp?

[blixa]

eww, no. it's skeet ulrich. he's so much better looking than depp.

to be honest, depp was only attractive in edward scissorhands and cry baby. otherwise he's not very appealing.

How can you be so big on Scream and not have seen the other two? I liked them all...

[blixa]

i'm personally not big on sequels. they have disappointed me more often than usual.

[Inkblades]

The entire Scream series is highly overrated. It's not real horror.

[bright lights, big city]

I appreciate that Craven helped make the horror genre popular. That said, he's overrated.

[theis]

It's not real horror.

None of the Scream movies were ever meant to be straight up horror. They've always been very self-aware about that.

Recently I saw Tokyo Story, which was tedious to watch because there was little to no camera movement and the plot was very slow going. But once you get into the film, it's pretty amazing. Not to mention it hit a little too close to home, which made it a bit of a tearjerker.

I saw Dogtooth last night, which I enjoyed thoroughly. It was amazing this film was shot with such a very low budget. It was demented beyond repair, but I absolutely love the way it was shot.  I thought it was believable, but it also makes you think about how horrible these parents are and what was going through their minds when making up the meanings of words and these stupid, nonsensical rules. The way the children behaved, too was also believable, except for one scene when one of them finds the telephone. She seemed to understand it a little too well for someone who has never seen a telephone. Overall, it was a great film. My first Greek film, too.

Soooooo weird. Normally I enjoy the fucked up movies. Not Dogtooth though. The acting was alright, but I just kind of got bored with it. Didn't laugh at it at all, and I kind of thought the directing and style ripped off Lars Von Trier. I honestly didn't even care for the basic concept of the film.

Win Win- 9/10.  Great movie.  Jeffrey Tambor is hilarious in this shit.

Scream 4- 6/10.  Not scary at all...and we never see Hayden's tits.  fuck that.
