VIHC.net VAN ISLE HARDCORE BOARD

Is this some practical joke? I feel like Willa is going to say how much he loved Gattaca next.

Maybe it's just concept horror, in general, for me is almost more funny than anything. I only really like a handful of Argento, and even then I'd say that Bava is way more fun to watch. The genre doesn't demand an auteur of taste and logic. It kind of demands someone who at the very least, provides some semblance of a ghost story that connects with me in the audience. Obviously, it's connected with you two. Here's a great, funny, totally spot-on horror with terrific physical effects from this year: Trick 'r Treat. It's not a gamechanger by any means, but it's what movie geeks like myself crave. I wouldn't recommend Pontypool to a Horror Movie Fan, I would maybe "recommend" it to a student of Philosophy or Language. Was it supposed to be Evil Dead 2 style funny? I swear that I'm not trying to fight you, man. But I can't think of a single truly terrifying moment in that movie. I can think of Canadian accents, paper-thin plot devices and a couple consistency issues in terms of escape. It has a GREAT trailer though.

Also, House Of The Devil. Fantastic! I cannot recommend this movie to Horror fans enough. Paranormal Activity is also a great low-budge flick for anyone remotely interested in demonic haunting and the power of viral marketing.

Woah, no one was pulling Ethan Hawke into this melee. Gattaca is a middle-of-the-road sci-fi. It's not Primer, but it's certainly not Lost In Space with Matt LeBlanc. It's good. I'll agree with you there, pretty decent flick.

Secondly, chill out. You are a member of the "Zombies Who Love Pontypool", it was a little rib knock up there. If, in the movie, people were "zombified" by words, you guys have been "zombified" by the movie. Lame attempt, I know. No one was saying that you have bad taste in all movies, just that one movie. That's my opinion: Bad movie. Just because you've watched every Argento doesn't make Inferno any less hilarious and over the top. Yknow?

Let's have a movie screening and show at Troyler soon. The worst of the worst, only the dingiest and most shockingly bad flicks. Then have some bands play, then watch another movie.

Hollow wrote:I re-watched a Russian movie called "Cuckoo" with Meg the other night. Excellent, excellent stuff. I had actually forgotten I'd seen it, because it had been five or six years. It's set in World War II, and is about a Russian and Finnish soldier who somehow end up with a Laplandish women (Laplanders are an ethnic minority in Finland that have their own language and, in 1943, were still living in huts and farming fish by the side of rivers) and none of them speak the others language. It's obviously a lot more complicated than that, but I don't want to give it away. It's rad.

Hollow wrote:Dead Snow. I love zombies, I love watching Nazi's get murdered, so I'm pretty sure watching zombie Nazi's get capped is gonna rule.

Willa do you own this movie or just had it rented?? I'm really interested in indigenous European history and this sounds like a super cool flick about it.

I saw t-bone made a post about Moon, did you ever see it? I watched it with Taylor last night and i though it was great.

Greenburg: Awesome movie. Great dialougue and characters a pretty typical Baumbach film. Ben Stiller's character was really engaging and he really carried this movie. It's better than Squid and the whale but not as great as Kicking and Screaming.
