I finally watched 'Saw'

this is one of those movies i need to rent from the mormon video store so that i can actually watch it. though i suppose it would probably be less then a minute long, making it even more ambiguous.

Why? They cut away from every act of violence, I don't know how it ever got a reputation for being gory.

I watched Passion of the Christ two times. Upon my second viewing I decided that they really didn't show that much at all, that most of the torture is implied, and it's the same with Saw.

they don't show any gore in psycho either. still freaks me out.

Yes, but Psycho was well made.

Anyway. It's a moderately interesting setup, and some of the deathtraps are fairly ingenious, but the resolution was just utterly lame. And it wasn't even particularly squicky. The only bit that was even a bit that way was the "saw off your own leg" bit, and since they don't even show it...pfft.

You want squick, you should go grab some Takashi Miike.

All he had to do was sit there and listen. FOR FUCK'S SAKE, JUST SIT THERE AND LISTEN!

No Samuel L Jackson.....

/sigh.

no way

i loved it, great movie

thats what I was wondering

Honestly, you'd figure a second one would garner a little better investment in the acting department, given the relative notoriety of the first. Not like I could act my way out of a wet paper bag but come on now, you'd figure it would be common sense at that point!

i liked them both.

once.

it's better than watching the same movie over and over again.

unless that movie has neve campbell in it.

ooooh. saw III, starring neve cam–
