The Hot Blog

4th Kind looks kind of interesting, but one thing that REALLY bugs me is when Hollywood tries to do "amateur camcorder" and fails so utterly by actually professionally lighting it, you know having perfect exposure, focus, having the talent framed "just right", it all just feels so fake. They throw the little time-stamp on top thinking that will make it look more authentic, but it doesn't really help. Paranormal Activity got that "feel" right, but at least from the trailer, 4th Kind looks like weak tea.

I'll give another example. The in memorium trailer feels very generic and the scare is obvious, but they do a decent setup, and the look is authentic. In particular, the sound of the girl screaming at the end "feels" real because it was not recorded in a typical sterile sound-booth Hollywood manner. It feels like something you'd hear quality-wise on a home video or tv news story. It's somewhat subconscious, but that reality adds something to the audience's reaction, which is why something like PA is doing well and a pro Hollywood remake with all the latest technical tools may very well have not worked that well.

Okay, time for me to be a spelling nazi again, but if her movie is titled 'In Memorium' it doesn't bode well.

Pedantic.

According to Webster's, both are accepted spellings.

JOVOVICH POWER.

1000% PURE HOTNESS, and one of the best reasons ever to see any movie. When they do those "do movie stars matter?" or "Can women really open a movie?" bullshit articles, they should mention Milla. Not saying she has a HUGE following necessarily, but I think she's one of the few actresses who can open a certain type of movie every time, because WOMEN AND MEN both like her.

She's like the FEMALE JASON STATHAM of B-horror, and certainly a more recognizable brand than some of the "stars" who seem more "forced upon us from above" (McAvoy, Cooper) than born of any genuine audience enthusiasm.

I guess I could've just skipped all these words and narrowed it down to one:

BONER.

I agree with martin. One of the things that bugs me to this day about "Cloverfield" is the scene where they are crossing from one bldg rooftop to another. If it's me, I'm putting the damn camera down and focusing on not falling.

MILLA BONERVICH.

HAHAHAHAHA.

I WANT TO DO HER.

martin, your Webster's doesn't agree with my Webster's (maybe it's the 'Merriam' [Merrium]).

dude you wasted my time with that useless post, so I wasted your time in checking out webster's.

If we could bill other posters for wasted time, McDouche would owe me about a zillion fucking dollars for the last 3.5 years.

lg----and, do you really (i mean reallllllllly) want to get into talking about billing people for wasted posting time?...really?....

martin - fair enough, we're even.
Lex - Your comment makes zero sense since, in the last 3.5 years, my posts have been innocuous and your posts have been "I WILL KILL MYSELF UNLESS SOMEONE GETS ME A SAG CARD" pretty much on constant replay.

I mean, I've said this before, but it never seems to penetrate - Lex, do you not get that your posts are irritating and horrible to a wide range of the population? I don't think you get that.

I'd like to give Milla Jovovich The THIRD Kind, if you know what I mean.

Think about it. It's kind of subtle but it's a GOOD JOKE.

You want to eat mashed potato out of her ass? Not that subtle.

You'd think in 10 MILLION years of NOTHING SUPERNATURAL EVER HAPPENING, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER, people would cease to be scared of movies about aliens and ghosts.

FUN FACT: There are no aliens.

FUN FACT: No ghosts either.

There, you can all stop seeing movies that are supernatural in nature, because it's all as dumb as the fucking TOOTH FAIRY.

SAW POWER.
