doozer	post #1  on September 21, 2008 - 8:28 AM PDT   I hate paying good money to nap. Anybody see it yet? I thought it was pretty dull but I tend to have high horror expectations. Odd. I love horror, but I really don't like most horror movies. Go figure. There's a mirror in my bathroom so I probably shouldn't smoke crack in there anymore. jk there isn't a mirror in my bathroom.

But I appreciated that it relied more on old-fashioned eek value than gore and splatter.
Catullus	post #3  on September 21, 2008 - 10:45 PM PDT   the first scene was good after that not so much pretty bad acting. I seriously laughed out loud at a few parts. Like where he was trying to explain how the mirrors killed his sister and was incredulous his estranged wife didn't believe him... There was another funnier part but there are too many spoilers involved, frankly there were 3 really funny moments. That said as a horror movie it kind of failed, wasn't very scary. Also not one good acting job in the whole movie.
Catullus	post #4  on September 21, 2008 - 10:47 PM PDT   lol damnit i just realized i posted a pretty big spoiler hastily and I can't edit... Well its not that big a spoiler since it happens early but still Damn you lack of an edit/delete function!!!! *shakes fist* the good news is the movies story is so weak I dont feel too bad about it.

I think I know the funnier parts you're talking about but I don't want to spoil the movie...LIKE YOU DID ^_^ After the first scene I pretty much cried for the 11 bucks I lost and wanted to go home and watch House reruns.

I haven't seen Mirrors but I'm sure The Signal is better, or at least much more interesting. I know Scott Weinberg liked The Signal too. Btw, re: The Mirrors, I was thinking it might be time for Alexandre Aja to make an ORIGINAL film for once, eh? Enough with the flippin' remakes, buddy. Now he's doing a Piranha remake. Sheez.

Not because I wanted to eat there or anything. I just have to be near one at all times.

It would be like living in a third world country with no internet or electricity or cell phones or hot water etc.

Catullus	post #13  on September 22, 2008 - 9:35 PM PDT   I sing made up songs about orange chicken on my way to get orange chicken. Top that!

doozer	post #15  on September 22, 2008 - 9:43 PM PDT   For the record, she's orange and I'm sure cats taste like chicken. Hence the name.
Catullus	post #16  on September 22, 2008 - 9:43 PM PDT   damnit I have to concede... that is until I get my pet chicken and I dye it orange... but you win for now...

Catullus	post #18  on September 22, 2008 - 9:46 PM PDT   no because its a temporary win dont get so happy, im really going to have to buy a chicken and somehow dye it orange. Prepare for your forthcoming loss!!!!!

Catullus	post #20  on September 22, 2008 - 9:48 PM PDT   either that or Ill get like 10 orders of orange chicken and re-enact the scarface scene where Tony Montana sticks his face in a mountain of coke... only this time it will be me and some orange chicken.
