AH: Vampire Hunter Deux?

Yeah but this time it'll be good.

[Ed Anger]

I noticed on Netfux there was a AH knockoff zombie movie. I wanted to rush to gamestop and start randomly punching nerds.

The Asylum is an American film studio and distributor which focuses on producing low-budget, usually direct-to-video productions. The studio has produced titles that capitalize on productions by major studios; these titles have been dubbed "mockbusters" by the press.

I sort of want to watch "Snakes on a Train" and "Bikini Spring Break". I can sort of write the script by the titles... "get those motherfuckin' snakes off my motherfuckin' train!"

Watching Reaper. It isn't bad so far.

The TV show?  I thought it was hilarious.

The Devil is the most compelling character so far.

So I decided not to listen to you guys

Way way worse than Lady in the Water. Wasn't even sure if this was supposed to be a comedy. The story in itself was alright. It was the way it was told, the script, the acting, the direction that messed it up.

Impossible. Even the worst film in existence doesn't merit a single "way", let alone two.

[Josephus]

I thought Lady was hokey but watchable. It got stupider as it went along. The Happening was painful from the get-go.

I'm beginning to think that really he's not that good a film maker. He lucked out with Sixth Sense, but that movie, once you get past the twist, was full of holes. In fact it was a decent movie until the twist, but then once you realized what Bruce Willis was, you realize...wait a minute, it makes no sense. You think that Bruce would have realized that "hey, my wife hasn't spoken to me in ages. Nobody seems to notice me anymore. I never get hungry or tired or go to the bathroom." Of course you didn't see the twist coming...BECAUSE it made no logical sense.

I actually think The Village was better. A bit cliched, once, again, once you get past that twist. Sort of a Lord of the Flies for adults.

Signs was campy. But OK. Unbreakable I don't remember much, but I think it was OK.

Went to see a movie he wrote called The Devil about a year ago. God.

Nah, that made sense.  The ghosts didn't have normal human appreciation of the progression of time and such.  They were basically living in a dreamlike fugue state.  This is explained in the film, and explicitly depicted with the other ghosts that Haley Joel sees.  Indeed, Willis is suggested to be special in that he has access to more robust mental faculties than the usual ghost--the others are all fucked up--even if in the end this doesn't leave him much better off.

Bear in mind I'll defend Sixth Sense wholesale.  It's a really well-done movie I think.

Unbreakable is alright too.

And then there are the rest.

The Happening is still better than Signs.  What an awful, awful movie.

That wasn't even the worst line. I should have kept a notebook nearby to write them down. There were some amazing lines.
