It probably says a lot about my life and choices but I love that show in all its craziness. Shawnee Smith was SO BORED. The challenges were SO DUMB.<br /><br />I love how they made the contestants go through so much and have them show so much versatility, only to have the second winner scream for a few seconds in Saw 3D and then get her face smashed in by a car.

I love horror and I'm just now getting back into it after a few years (I had girlfriends who hated horror flicks, which makes it very difficult to keep up.), and this definitely gave me some great suggestions. I just caught Kill List on Netflix, and really liked it, even despite being put off by the WTF ending; I definitly plan to check out the rest of Ben Wheatley's filmography. <br /><br />I was wondering if you guys had seen Excision. I'm not a hundred percent sure I liked it, but it really stayed with me and made me feel like shit for a good day or two.Jiffy Knishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780014326870078270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-48312079508294917992013-08-08T08:03:50.621-05:002013-08-08T08:03:50.621-05:00And now I want a box of Pączkis from Continental B...And now I want a box of Pączkis from Continental Bakery.Joseph Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168159790992899470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-30406810722784560052013-08-08T05:15:52.890-05:002013-08-08T05:15:52.890-05:00Yes, the Prospect was across the street from the l...Yes, the Prospect was across the street from the library and the Continental Bakery.

Scary Movie Month can't come soon enough - definitely have some new entries on my to-watch list that I'm going to try to save until October!<br /><br />I had no idea <i>The Descent</i> was SO well-regarded by people who matter (e.g. you and Heather) - boy oh boy that movie had an impact on me when I first saw it - I don't think I've ever had so much trouble watching a movie I couldn't stop watching. And I had a similar experience watching <i>The Devil's Rejects</i> a couple years later. Definitely two of the best horror movies of the Oughts.<br /><br />Patrick, I implore you to give <i>The Martyrs</i> a shot - yes, it can be incredibly difficult to get through and for awhile it makes you feel kinda awful, but once you get through it (and I mean, it's very gory and violent, but I'd never call it gratuitous and it's well-made) the ending is actually very interesting and leaves an impression. Seriously man, give it a try this Scary Movie Month - as uncomfortable as it will probably make you for awhile, I wouldn't say it has anything you haven't gotten through before and it pays off in the end.

I was brought on to play what would have been a horribly out-of-shape Rocky but was downgraded (thankfully) to Criminologist. The other people were older and in college. It was weird.

It's best to treat it as a separate entity from the first one, because it really is not even close to the same.
