I hope you like it. Don't write it off in the first hour, because most of the scenes in the first hour are not meant to be scary, but just freaky.

anyone who carries that kind of attitude isn't going to be scared. if you make any movie a "joke," if you tell yourself that it's not going to scary you and that it's stupid, you can pretty much prevent any movie from being scary.

with something like PA, you just have to let yourself go and buy into it all.

I loved Open Water . It was creepy and realistic. I was extremely engrossed the entire time. It's not as effective on DVD as it was in theaters, but it's still a great movie. The ocean scares me so that added to how unsettling it was. It's better than Jaws, IMO. Such an underrated film!

"I've seen every low-grade piece of shit horror film every released straight-do-DVD! This movie, which I have not seen, is not scary!"

Translation: "Hi, my name is The Dark Shape. I'm a know-it-all douche who thinks I know everything about movies because I "work" in them. If you don't agree with me, you deserve to be attacked, even moreso in this case because of who you are. In finish, I hate you and screw you."

It's all about expectations. Just because a movie is released direct-to-video doesn't mean a thing. Your argument doesn't hold up, especially when you have an avatar from such a film.

No, I knew more about movies than you well before I worked in them, Joe. It's just hilarious that you slam the idea that it's scary when you, y'know, haven't seen it. And maybe won't.

If I make a blanket statement about something, I've at least probably seen it.

The Blair Witch Project was supposedly scary too. It certainly wasn't. You can join the other pricks here, right in line behind Libs.

The fact you call Libs a prick kind of says it all.

Paranormal Activity freaked me the hell out. I don't care about the inevitable backlash. I don't care about people using it against me later. It's the scariest film I've seen in many years.

Well, she's wished me dead, hurt, gone (and gee, what does she mean by that...I wonder) on multiple occasions. That qualifies as prick behavior.

I don't understand how you see every movie, Joe, but you're maybe skipping Paranormal Activity? Being such a big horror fan, I'd expect that you'd be going ASAP and actually having an open mind about it instead of just writing it off as unscary.

Well, I see them for free and PA isn't playing at the theatre where I see them for free, therefore I won't see it.

Off the message board?

And you've - in posts I've seen in the last day - wished her dead and called her grossly unattractive. And you tend to do that to everyone.

Nope, I don't call everyone grossly unattractive. Except Libs posted I picture of herself so I know it to be true. Now grossly unattractive is obviously an exaggeration. That said, she's not someone you'd notice out of the blue either. I've posted a pic of myself too if you're interested in retorting back with something similar to what I've posted. I'm sure someone can find the pic for you if you're interested in knowing what the person you hate so much looks like.

I don't care what people look like. Why does it matter? The hottest member of this board still (by evidence of post count) spends way too much time on the internet.

EDIT:

Okay. I bit and looked. That's grossly unattractive? Hahahahahaha.

Did you not read my post? I said it was an exaggeration.

And what someone looks like obviously matters, as someone like you should know given the industry in which you work.

She's not unattractive at all. And for the record, I don't hate you. I don't hate anybody on this board. I just think you act like a brat a lot of the time.

For the record, I hate you. You're an arrogant jerk. Now do you hate me?

Wanna see the new list?

Nope. I'm here for fun. Not worth the effort to hate someone.

Wanna see the new list?

List of what? People you hate?
