Like in everything else relating to her, Lady Gaga’s fragrance Fame contains underlying occult elements that are only recognizable to those who have some knowledge of it.

It's this fascinating mix of Glenn Beck / Michelle Bachmann / David Icke / paranoid schizophrenia / freshman year cultural studies / the after-effects of undergraduate pot & acid consumption, and even more notable b/c the dude is Canadian

In the context of the Olympics, where people come from all countries and all religions, this verse was a little out of place. More importantly, no countries, no religions, no possessions and “a world as one” is a good way to describe the global socialist system the elite is trying to create with the New World Order. Was Lennon envisioning a secretive group of politicians and bankers creating his perfect world? Probably not. But when you get killed by a MK-Ultra patsy, the elite can pretty do what it wants with your work and image.
The elite reptilian overlord mind control rock star assassinating new world order is socialist now? *confused*

this was fun, but i was expecting another layer, like maybe there are no elder gods and the corporate dudes are being manipulated by an evil CEO to make real horror films for his/her (i guess it would be her) personal entertainment, so their thin layer of moral justification goes out the window. would not have been as fun as the end of the world though.
would have preferred tentacle but NBD

that's the thing. some preachy "see, the world won't collapse if we break free of cliches!" ending would have totally justified the handful of "joss whedon thinks he's so great" grumbles this got.

man, wasn't really feeling this at all. had avoided spoilers, have enjoyed a lot of jokey/satirical horror flicks in the past and appreciated the spirit it was done, but it fell totally flat for me outside of maybe some of the whitford/jenkins stuff. also obviously scares/fx were not really the point but it just looked terrible, was so dim and hard to tell what was going on i started to wonder if it had been released in 3d.

I didn't like this much either other than thinking it was a neat idea. I avoided this thread and spoilers, but maybe I should have read something about it. I was hoping the movie wanted to scare me, not make me laugh.

Finally saw this. Loved it, for every reason already stated thruout the thread, really. The elevator dings, the "you're kidding me" merman death payoff, the telescoping coffee bong, all the meta meta meta. I went in expecting Whedonesque comic timing so I wasn't disappointed. Must watch it again.

Finally Watched this over the weekend, loved it. Most entertaining movie I've seen in a long time. I definitely second a monsters poll from way upthread.

Wow, do I wish there were more movies like this. Totally holds up on third viewing, years (right?) later. Still say the only misstep in the entire thing is revealing the electrified grid dome thing too early for the sake of a lame CGI eagle gag, but the rest is pretty flawless and really smart.

Nah thought that was good! It added to the sense of "ok what the fuck is going here" that permeated the first act.

Yeah, but you already know there's something weird going on, from minute-one, and by the time, way down the road, they do bring in the electrified fence as a plot point, I doubt anyone would still be wondering what's going on, let alone be surprised something strange is going on. Revealing the fence early on ruins the gag later. I mean, no biggie, it's just an unforced error.

Did catch something I somehow missed the first two times, that after she kills the zombie in the basement with a knife, they send her a little electric shock that makes her drop the knife.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 16 August 2014 19:49 (nine years ago) link
it's not a gag later. you're meant to be that far ahead of the characters by now, and filled with dread at how they're going to fuck up, not startled.
― boney tassel (sic), Sunday, 17 August 2014 02:02 (nine years ago) link
that's true, but the existence of the sky-fence would have come as a nice surprise during the escape attempt, had not the useless eagle gag spoiled it

SPOILERS DISCUSSION
I thought it was more effective foreshadowing than ruining surprise. If you wern't told about the shield beforehand then it'd be dumb having it pop up during tha scene for the first time, it would be as if they'd just written ANOTHER thing that can go wrong, as opposed to the lead forgetting that no, running's not gonna work. action vs horror or something
― DISMISSED AS CHANCE (NotEnough), Sunday, 17 August 2014 11:02 (nine years ago) link
stalemate. we need to have somebody not read this thread is what we need to do, and then they go and watch the version of the movie without the eagle and report back, compare notes is the idea.
