I just love this poster. It is as simple as that. At first it doesn't look like much but once you realize it is a SAW V poster then you know something must be up. That's when you notice the face. Do you see it?I like movies of all types but for some reason there is a special place for horror films. I especially like the ones that don't try to make excuses for themselves. I don't need little winks at the audience like you get in the Scream franchise nor do I need moments of humor to lighten the tone of the film. I know it is fake so don't point it out to me. Just give me the carnage so I can indulge my sadistic side in a completely non-violent, passive way. I wonder what a shrink would say about such a guilty pleasure.
I am pretty proud that I can accept a movie for what it is and not expect everything to be Oscar quality. I do not put movies like Saw V in the same category as There Will Be Blood but I can appreciate them both equally. I know plenty of movie snobs that look down on much of the mainstream film world and what I have discovered is that they don't like movies nearly as much as they like trying to appear smarter than your average bear. These people are also boring, pedantic, and complete buzz kills. Don't be that person.
Personally I am looking forward to Halloween.
Jeff, don't delete your blog...just stumbled across it and blogs aren't something I usually read/keep up on but I find yours fascinating...I hope you keep sharing your thoughts.
My 2 cents...from Ohio.
Kelly,
Thanks for reading.
I don't really know what the future holds for this blog. I can say as long as it is interesting I'll keep doing it. It's good to know someone is out there reading.
