Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning one sheetl

Published at:  Jun 14, 2006 12:41:46 AM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... Well we saw the trailer for TCM: TB - now they've got a one sheet and they're not placing some nubile sweaty chi-chi hottie on the poster with a bare bellybutton... nope, they're going for that moody scary Leatherface vibe. What do you think? Looks pretty darn nice...

    Is that Mike Myers' Cat in the Hat in the clouds?

    by fatboy_roberts

    Because that fucker was scarier than anything in the Texas Chainsaw remake. Seriously, if you squint, you can see him doing a bad Coffee Talk skit in bad makeup just over Leatherface's head in the poster.

    Not only is it The Cat in the Hat face

    by fatboy_roberts

    But the words "Witness the Birth of Fear" are written right on top of it--which could have fit JUST AS EASILY on the actual Cat in the Hat poster. It's probably already a photoshop contest on Fark or something. I can't have really been the first person to notice this, right? Poster's been out for awhile, someone had to have seen that. That tagline is practically pointing RIGHT TO IT. Again, nothing in the TCM remake was half as scary as Mike Myers' Cat in the Hat.

    That is pretty damn funny, though. As much as it annoys me at times, one of the things I love about AICN and talkback is how anything and everything can be reduced to a laughing stock, no matter how po-faced and seriously intentioned it may be, with the occasional bonus of it being reduced to a talkback catchphrase for months on end. Fear the gauntlet of talkback!

    Just about any new father will tell you...

    by childe roland

    ...that the entire birthing and child rearing process is "the birth of fear" in their world. Take your average tough-talking, immortal feeling dude who decides to settle down after a decade and a half of skirt chasing. That nervousness and discomfort he feels just before the wedding is NOTHING compared to the terror that starts the minute that stick turns pink or blue or shows a "plus" sign. He's never really known fear before that. And afterward, he'll know little else. "Should you be lifting that, honey? Are you feeling okay? Does the baby feel okay? Is it time to go to the hospital yet? What do I do while you're breathing and pushing? Are you mad at me? Should I get the nurse? Where are you taking my wife? What do you mean you have to cut her open? Is the baby going to be okay? Is the baby normal? Why can't I let the baby sleep on his/her side/belly? What's SIDS? What do you mean no one knows what causes it? Why is the baby crying like that? Can the baby breathe? Should we wake the baby up and make sure he/she is okay? Is the baby awake now? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T WAKE THE BABY!" Yeah, if you've had a baby, Leatherface isn't very scary at all.

    ...or not. While I am done skirt-chasing, I haven't reached the point of anxiously watching the little magic stick change colors yet. However, that day isn't far off as plans to that effect are in their early stages. I was hoping the nerves and anxieties wouldn't extend too far past the point of no return, but I realize that ain't gonna happen. You really never can go home again, can you, even figuratively speaking... *sigh*

    Witness the Birth of Another Craptastic Prequel...

    by capt. murphy

    Let me guess, due to the huge outcry for an explanation of events leading up to the events in the remake of a classic horror film, a prequel is being made. They may as well just make some sort of 13 minute short that offers a connection between the Hill Have Eyes remake and the TCM remake, and it needs to involve a severely deformed Jim Carrey who plays the teenage son of a severely deformed Burt Reynolds, and the grandmother can be played by a severely deformed...Well, I was gonna say Debbie Reynolds, but then it just sounds cliche.

    by chickychow

    and if so, does he wipe and flush and stuff? I can't really picture it. I picture him just shittin his pants all day until its like he's walking around in oatmeal. then he changes pants. and yet I can't picture that either. You think he closes the door to his room when he's doin all this pants changin? I mean, does he turn doorknobs? I figure he just kicks doors open and closed. no dainty "knob turning" for him, he's not a European for Christsakes.

    it was a bloodcurdling low-budget indie horror flick from the early 70s called THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE; which later spawned one good sequel, one terrible sequel, and a piece of shit remake... and, now, the world's first REMAKE PREQUEL. cringe inducing.
