I made it to the third one, but only because it was on TV and I had nothing better to do...

I had to find out about Devon Sawa and discovered that he'll be in an episode of Nikita.

The Thing is not a remake, it's a prequel. Takes place at the Swedish base and is supposed to end right where Carpenter's movie began. Also, they say they are going with physical effects as opposed to CG. I don't think it's necessary either, and The Thing is one of my all time favorite films, but at least I won't have to suffer through something like Gerard Butler playing MacReady or Sam Jackson as Childs.

The first 2 Destinations were good. Three was awful and I have no urge to see part four. The horse is dead and now being made into glue. Or at least horse-hair paintbrushes.

The only reason I looked at this post was to giggle at the amazing title they had for this movie, and now it seems everyone's gone serious. I miss you, 5nal Destination.

Is that header pic a visual representation of my psyche after seeing that header pic? Is it a meta-gross out?

So it seems to me that the Angel of Death in the Final Destination series is a first class ethereal fuck-up. Seriously. He keeps screwing up each culling. He must not be all that descrete if people keep getting subtle hints something bad is about to happen. Hey Grim, the idea is that those destined to die do not sense you coming. What, do you have chronic gas or something? I've heard some people can smell Death, so maybe before you start claiming your souls for the day you could lay off the broccoli.

And then we sit through the rest of the movie watching Death desperately trying to fix his latest clusterfuck before the Almighty goes all Donald Trump on his scythe wielding ass. To that end Death goes through a stack of rejected demises that look like they came out of the of the Coen Brothers' wastebasket, only not quite as clever. The last couple of efforts only needed Benny Hill's "Yakety Sax" played throughout to make it complete.

I guess I can accept that everyone can have a bad day at work, hence why the first movie was okay. Death doesn't usually have anything go wrong as you would think collecting the doomed would be a fairly easy task. The point originally being even if you manage to cheat Death in the short term, it eventually catches up with you. But as each movie comes, it seems that Death screws the pooch often enough that it appears to be less of an isolated incident and just par for the course. The Tooth Fairy might have done the job better at this point. As an afterthought, I'd like to have a scene of Death being shitcanned and replaced by Georgia Lass. At least we'd have waffles then.

Yeah, that's a pretty strange assumption, Paddydog. The list of people who filmed movies while also being part of the main casts of TV shows in the last few years alone would probably number in the triple digits.

See, I started thinking about that as well, and then my brain vomited all over itself.

Chunks of awesome.

I was just reminded of the first time I saw the Scanners guy's head explode. Two months into K.

/cue "Memories"

BTW, to hell w/this franchise.

so the plot details are "There's a big accident, some people survive due to a premonition, then die through a series of complicated rube Goldberg machines"

Isn't that kind of like revealing plot details for a new Nightmare on Elm St film that ends up as "Some teenagers have dreams were they get killed by Freddie Kruger" ?
