Well...

That was...dissapointing.

Just watched The Village. Please tell me I'm not the only one who had the thing figured out within the first half hour? Please?

Don't get me wrong - I liked it because of artistic aspect. I love movies that are like that, but - couldn't we come up with an original idea? *rolls eyes* Glad I didn't buy it.

Nope. You're not the only one. When I saw it I was like "These people are either horrible actors or there's something else going on." That's when I figured it out.

I didn't really like that movie too much. It had a few good parts but I had to snort every time I heard something like "those we do not speak of" or "the bad color." But that may have also been from the special added commentary of my father and brother.

Heh - i did the same thing every time those phrases came up. *rolls eyes*

I guess I liked it for the character aspect - there were some interesting people. But come on, a blind woman who can do a 200yd dash? Don't think so.

hahaha

i had that shit figured out before i even saw the movie. i read an interview he gave where he said it was about "social control" and i predicted the ending. lol. for me, it seemed it was an indictment of the war on terror to ...did you get that vibe?

I didn't so much get the war on terror part, though i can see that now. Seems more about how the more people isolate themselves to better things, the worse things get. Innocense can never be maintained, it needs to evolve to survive - not devolve.

Do you mean the monsters or where they were at?

Either way, figuring that out wasn't really the point of the movie. It's a character study. *shrugs* I sort of liked it, but then again, I went into it expecting a character study, not a horror flick.

I was mostly dissapointed in how it was presented, advertised. I hadn't heard *anything* about it in all this time, and I was expecting a horror movie - it was a friday night/saturday morning, afterall. A horror movie it was not.

I did like the characterization and basic concept behind it though. Was just dissapointed with some of the acting and the presentation I guess.

[wilde-moon.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can see where you would be dissapointed if you were expecting horror.

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]

Speaking of horror...seen the Grudge yet?

[wilde-moon.livejournal.com]

Yep, laughed my ass off the whole time. It was that sound. I couldn't help it.

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]

Ah! That sound made me want to crawl under the seats. Movie scared the bajeezus outta me. Genivieve's phone makes that sound all the time and it always makes me want to run screaming or piss myself and bawl.

but that's just me

LMAO! I think it's karma for you always singing the Fragle Rock song around Chris.

Guess what I sent him for X-mas? Hehehe

I'm an evil little man.

[wilde-moon.livejournal.com]

You are awful!

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know:D

[rivulet027.livejournal.com]

haven't watched it.

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]

It's okay if you're not expecting horror.
