Comment on Paranormal Activity 3 by Adam

Adam — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:12:00 +0000

I wasn’t sure if Paranormal Activity 3 would be as good as the first 2 so instead of buying it I put it at the top of my Blockbuster Movie Pass queue. I should have it before the weekend when I will find out if it lives up to the others. I have saved a lot of money on bad movies this way. Instead of being stuck with it, I can send it back or trade it in at the store. It works with video games and blu-rays as well, no more buyers remorse over a bad buy. Working at DISH I feel that it offers a huge additional value for customers and I would take it over Netflix any day.

Now if only people could hold Team Zelda in the same regards. Especially with the stealing ideas department.

Comment on Review: Kill List by Simonre

I don’t watch films for a living, or really rate or remember them, I watch films when I’m to tired to do anything else, thus more often than not I’m left dissapointed due to not being in the right frame of mind. This film was certainly gripping and intense, The peak and dips were nicely timed with a thought provoking end. Thought provoking ‘yes’, It’s caused me to search the web for answers..as did Donnie Darko. Books work on the readers imagination and so did this. The more views I read, the more I want to watch it again from their perspective. If you watch a film, you come to your own conclusion that suits you, read these posts and and you find more possibilities ..thats art right? Why does it have to tie up? in fact there’s many ways it can be pieced together. A couple more watches and i’ll manage it. Do we have to accuse the writer of being intelligent or lazy? The mix of genres confuses the viewer, it’s not your typical format so doesn’t sit right..again that’s art right? Kill List has done a great job of providing great visual stimulas and thought provoking undertones. Lazy? Sometimes less more… It’s interesting how our minds decypher things differently? The film exploits that. Love it or hate it, people are talking and creating a buzz about it. I loved it, but not as much as the writers do reading these posts and our interpretations. I believe I read on a previous post Ben didn’t dismiss the idea of it being a dream when questioned..It’s set up for interpretation. that’s of course way off. It’s frustraiting but I loved it. It’s like fine dining, left wanting more, to the point of watching the credits and extras! If Ben wouldn’t mind sharing his angle..Watch it. justin, I’ll lend you the cold hard cash!!

D grade? Really? Hard not to think that you are just not pissed for not getting the movie. That’s fine, some movies are meant to be like that. For mine I thought it had some weak bits at the end and could have built the tension up over the hits a bit more, but overall worth the effort. Don’t watch if you are squeamish. Similar vein to Eden Lake – the Brits are good at making you feel sick.

I saw this at the Mayhem festival last year and couldn’t agree more, just too slow moving to be anything other than okay, and with a sum total of no scares

Just scroll 3 panels up, right side panel to see what I mean

Being a comic book geek it’s truly disheartening to find Rob Liefeld working within the industry. In the Nineties his work was laughably bad, but then there was lots of really badly written comic books and even more badly illustrated comic books, but these days with the amount of professionalism and devotion that goes into producing quality comic books to discover Liefeld illustrating work for Marvel, DC and Image is quite frankly unbelievable. He might be a really good guy, but he’s a terrible artist and if he can write, which I doubt, a bad writer too. But the fault lies with the industry that employs him, the titles he’s working on could be handled by new talent, people given a chance, they surely wouldn’t do a worst job then Liefeld is doing. Sales of the titles I’m aware he’s working on, Hawk and Dove and Infinite, are low, okay Hawk and Dove breaks the top 100, somehow, but Infinite is experiencing poor sales, and rightly so. As a person who loves comic books there’s no reason I can possibly imagine for Liefeld to continually acquire work. It’s one of lives many mysteries up there with alien abduction, Bigfoot and Nessie.

You’re absolutely right nick, other artists do use unrealistic anatomy, but usually it’s through choice rather than inadequacy, but be that as it may, lump it in with the steeling, poor composition and design work, glaring continuity errors, lacklustre pacing, ignoring of backgrounds and so forth; do really believe that someone should be being paid and robbing work from more talented people for such half-arsed results? I would say certainly not.

I do however feel it’s not as much his fault for being crap, but rather the people employing him for not holding him to the same standards they would a newcomer to the business, but that’s a different matter. That fact is, seeing two mainstream books a month (if he holds to schedule) on the shelves is particularly irksome, especially as I have so many talented artist friends, and so I find the article timely.

Yawn. The whole Rob bashing thing is really played out. He’s a cartoonist. Do you rag on Charles Schulz for having unrealistic anatomy and an unchanging fashion sense?

I mean, is Rob perfect as a creator or a businessman? Hell no! He’s made mistakes. But he makes fun comics. In my opinion, nuff said.

Hey Rob. As of the writing of this article I have still yet to read another written review of Kill List that’s willing to admit that in actual fact isn’t a work of genius, though happily, having recently attending the Mayhem Horror Film Festival, I have talked with a lot of people whom share our view. Let the revolution begin:)

“for now” was because I’d originally intended to put the image back. I don’t agree with completely deleting an article, just because we got the news wrong. I believe in taking responsibility for what we post, good and bad. The image was removed, not because of external requests, but based on internal discussion.

should that not be “image removed by request, for now, because it’s nothing to do with what you’ve posted this story as”?

Yeah, it’s in no way a bad movie, it’s just y’know, it’s all kinda been done now. I can always enjoy a good looking movie though, and this one looks a treat.

The trailer made me instantly think of ‘The Haunting” from 1995 with Kate Beckinsale (which is a favorite that i am now reminded I need on a newer format that VHS lol) . So while I THINK I can guess the twist, I still want to see it just from the trailer alone. This kind of film are a favorite of mine. A Solid C is all I really expect of them too.

I went to watch Kill List last night and came out of it feeling frustrated and annoyed with the ending. I think this review is spot on, the writers back out of writing a cohesive ending and go for lazy ambiguity instead. The link with Wicker Man is clear but as stated, Wicker Man ends and ties up the whole meaning of the film in the ending. This film suggests different things – is he evil incarnated, has he had some sort of memory block etc – but ultimately leaves you hanging. Maybe other people will respond differently and enjoy debating the meaning I just felt a bit cheated. I felt last night that maybe I was missing something but I’m reassured by the fact that the reviewer had a similar experience.
