Note: it took me way, WAAAAY to damn long to find a shot of that

and it's a deauxzy

Flipped thru the Visual Companion book to the movie tonight at the bookstore. Most disturbing shot of the flick for me were the mutants just holding down a dude and puking into his face and yep, good color photo of just that shot in the book. They're explicitly called out in the novelization and the screenplay, and as listed as the "mutants" on the betting board.

I finally saw this on the weekend (TWICE) and loved it. System purge/elevator scene was the horror movie equivalent of a water-park ride, soooo much fun.

Ploughed through this whole thread and can I just say: pairing 'Roll with The Changes' for the office party was such an awesome juxtaposition with the tv monitor dock scene.

Mr Veg and I were talking after about how it felt like Joss was emptying out all of his leftover ideas from Buffy & Dollhouse, to really good effect.

speakerphone gag was GOLD

Saw this the second time a week ago. Still awesome.

I finally saw it last night, and "horror movie equivalent of a water-park rid" is exactly the comparison I was thinking of! Also, a little bit of this from way upthread (Whiney):

Evil Dead IN ITSELF was kind of a winking parody of George Romero and Three Stooges, and now this runs THAT whole concept through a meta-mirror.

But yeah, really fun.

say this last night, total riot

one of my favorite gags was the elevator bell -- like, it'd be a while without hearing it or something and then "ding" just wave after wave of horrible things

That same noise accompanied this movie's appearance on the ILX horror movie poll, for the record.

I kinda want to have a bunch of friends over and watch it again, p sure most them have not seen it

i watched this the other night. pretty fun, probably having already read about every plot twist was a bad idea, still i think spending the whole middle third with the ... lartners? laughners? seemed a bit off in terms of emphasis

bradley whitford should be in more things

I don't know, playing guitar in Aerosmith keeps him pretty busy.

Effing rad movie. Not much to add that hasn't already been said except that I was waiting and waiting for Sigourney Weaver to tell the main character that there is no Dana.

Also, assuming the havoc at the end didn't take down the forcefields, I can totally imagine a sequel (in plot if not in spirit).

this rocked

way better than anything else going for thrills this year.

way better than the avengers imho. (though it shared a love of bureaucrats driving golf karts through tunnels in underground bases.)

annihilated prometheus and batman.

yeah this was dope i agree 100%

loved that it was basically an hp lovecraft movie at heart

and that it basically was an excuse to throw every horror movie archetype together in one room... loved the hellraiser dude

the cutaways to the j-horror plot unfolding across the world were so dope

Was really hoping for a specific Lovecraft image in that last shot.

dude me too! only letdown was that it was just a big ol' hand.

aw i liked that, it was like a classic zombie thing

the hand emerging from the grave

would have preferred tentacle but NBD

Yeah, I wanted spaghetti strands the size of asteroid belts.

want to see this again

i could almost watch it again

i should probably see this this weekend.

want to see this again

Same here. Love the whole EC Comics vibe it had.

it did the deconstructing-the-horror-genre thing, which has gotten pretty old, in such a new and fresh and entertaining way

Amy Acker should be in all the movies btw

aaaand Vigilant Citizen finally finishes the essay: http://vigilantcitizen.com/moviesandtv/the-cabin-in-the-woods-a-movie-celebrating-the-elites-ritual-sacrifices/

This and Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil are the best horror movies I've seen in a long time. Making me rethink my general bias towards jokey, arch horror films (except the bias only exists because jokey, arch horror films generally are pretty awful).

In one of the cabin’s rooms is a painting depicting a lamb being torn to pieces by all kinds of vicious creatures. This is yet another way the victims are subtly “warned” of what is bound to happen. However, since the kids have no idea of what’s happening, they simply ignore it. This can be compared the elite hiding in plain sight warnings and predictions about the NWO in public places (see the murals at the Denver International Airport).

I'm checking thru and it doesn't seem like these guys ever once twig to the notion expressly stated by the filmmakers that the flick is about 21st-C horror movies itself.

I mean, seriously, they really do write like freshman-year bong-hit dorm conspiracy spinning.

oh wait, nvm, i actually glanced at the comments.

Self-awareness is a curse not visited upon all peoples online, as we're proven time and time again.

I have somehow been unaware of Vigilant Citizen before now. That is some truly amazing Conservapedia-level "do you SEE?!" stuff going on there. It was good for a new display name anyway.

vigilant citizen is the best blog on the internet

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.

holy crap that site is amazing

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*

Ah of course: it's Neil Peart having time travelled from 1974.

Love the idea that the illuminati is all powerful and super secretive but yet can't stop accidentally making music videos about itself

Sure, if Neil was as single-issue focused
