Vern-O Should Direct Superman by MrInsidious	Aug 3rd, 2004 07:49:00 AM
Just think of it. Sam Jackson as Lex Luthor cursing out Superman in his tights. As far as I'm concerned, that could constitute 90% of the movie and still be cool.

"speculative fiction" by Another Faith	Aug 3rd, 2004 08:59:59 AM
That's the term you're looking for, Vern -- for "what if THIS happened instead" stories. And thanks for the links to the first two reviews. "I swear by the holy balls of Jesus" is a phrase my life would have been poorer for having missed. How I'll work it in remains a challenge, but I'm pleased to have it in my conversational arsenal.
"PERSONALLY I DID NOT BOTHER TO KNOW THE TITLE OF THE FILMS I AM by kiddae	Aug 3rd, 2004 09:21:45 AM
Even though it is right there in the article I am posting." I fucking hate this site.
Great trailer, thats about it. by harosa	Aug 3rd, 2004 10:30:52 AM
I hated the second film but was impressed enough with the trailer to see this but it was generally a letdown in all ways. From the truly bad overacting by everyone but the girls (the native indians speak so clearly and succinctly I was distracted, would it have hurt to lighten up on the proper english for authenticity's sake?) to some really stupid character choices and leaps in logic. From Vern's review he mentions the scene with the girls wanting to leave the fort and the beef they get into with some soldier -who seems to hate them for the obvious reasons in every movie that someone who goes into a fort or town under siege gets hated on for- but then after the siege the soldier seems to forget the girls looked like they might've been helping the wolves ( iknow they werent). This movie only seems to tie into the first movie with the last scene in a roundabout way and it does have some interesting touches , the sets and scenery are awesome but I say just stick with the first one. You want to see someone chasing someone for food and set somewhat in the same time period and in the same settings see Ravenous.
Was there another installment I don't know about? by ron2112	Aug 3rd, 2004 12:56:20 PM
...because I loved Ginger Snaps, and I loved Ginger Snaps 2; Unleashed, but gosh amighty I don't remember seeing anything about Ginger Snaps Back. I wonder why that is? Oh maybe it's because there's NO SUCH FUCKING MOVIE. Yeah, that must be it. And for the record, the second was at least as good as the first, maybe a bit better.

Huzzzzah. That'd be da shizznizzle Vern-O yo man. Bring dat shit on. And thus ... my ebonic skillz pwns ya all. Fo' sho!
What is this guy rambling about? by johnhawks	Aug 3rd, 2004 04:14:36 PM
Comic Con '68?? Even if there was such a thing, Stormtroopers wern't invented until '77. Oh, and this review isn't intresting or funny.
To Ron #2112 by Vern	Aug 3rd, 2004 05:32:39 PM
Actually, you might be wrong there. Wait, actually, YOU ARE DEFINITELY FUCKING WRONG. There is such a movie as GINGER SNAPS BACK: THE BEGINNING and in fact, it's the VERY MOVIE that you are responding to a talkback to. Are you insane? Or did you fall into one of those parallel dimensions I was talking about with Freddy and Snoopy? Yer confusing me there bud. Anyway thanks everybody, looks like I may be getting my game back judging from everybody wanting to kill me, etc. thanks
Not as good as the first two... by Gluecifer	Aug 3rd, 2004 06:23:10 PM
but still pretty good (really one of the best horror franchises ever!!!!). The ending rules (again), the casting is great, nice photography,... Pretty good movie, but I prefered the great Ravenous (without werewolves but with cannibalism instead).
Vern... by TheDarkShape	Aug 3rd, 2004 07:15:38 PM
He was referring to the fact that Quint was calling Ginger Snaps Back and The Beginning two different movies.
Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning by ide_cyan	Aug 3rd, 2004 07:30:02 PM
I saw the third Ginger Snaps movie at Fant-Asia on July 10, and when the opening credits came on, the title that was shown was _Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning_.
There's the DC Comics term "Elseworlds" or the Star Trek term "M by FrankDrebin	Aug 3rd, 2004 09:07:51 PM
And I think the reference to the '68 comics convention was meant as a joke about the '68 Democratic National Convention in Chicago that erupted into demonstrations and chaos...and head-cracking, once the notoriously corrupt Mayor Daly unleashed his notoriously violent cops. (Maybe you've heard of Abbie Hoffman and the "Chicago 8".) Only dinosaurs like me remember it. As Professor Frink said, it's the "Dennis Miller ratio".
I don't know man by Vern	Aug 3rd, 2004 10:02:48 PM
It still looks to me like he's saying there's only two Ginger Snaps movies. But there's not man, as you would know if you EVEN VAGUELY SKIMMED ONE OR TWO SENTENCES OF THE REVIEW YOU WERE RESPONDING TO. But that's okay, that's enough capital letters for today. Anyway thanks again everybody, especially Retrostyle for explaining my basic historical reference. Way to go American public education!

If the Bitches would get butt naked and start licking each other these movies would rock!
To ron 2112 by rollerballs	Aug 4th, 2004 01:32:58 PM
For what it's worth, there IS a third installment, the trailer for which was posted on this site months ago. Just wanted to help.
does she show 'em? by TV CASUALTY	Aug 4th, 2004 03:40:43 PM
Oh, sure. I'm the asshole. I'm the pervert. Like the rest of you weren't thinking it.
I don't get why so many who loved the first, hated the second... by sTalking_Goat	Aug 4th, 2004 07:18:44 PM
I thought the second was pretty consistent. I won't say it was better but its not like Highlander and Highlander 2. Or the second Blair Witch (ok bad reference...). The only real downer of the second was the stupid ending, and not enough Ginger. I like Bridgette though, I guess I have a thing for fucked up chicks.
You know, there are not that many GOOD werewolf flicks out there by Neosamurai85	Aug 5th, 2004 12:22:15 AM
I actually liked the first Ginger Snaps. It felt like someone behind The Adventures of Pete and Pete was reading some Ghost World comics one day, and thought, THIS NEEDS WEREWOLVES! I was waiting for a Stephin Merritt tune to pop out at any moment! Seriously though, to me one of the crucial elements of a good horror film is its exploration of things we have deep insecurities, primal fears

true dat
never trust a sequel when it has THE BEGINNING attached to it. by Sepulchrave	Aug 7th, 2004 04:57:24 AM
Prequels are WRONG, just WRONG, like driving backwards down the freeway. The Godfather 2, that's it. all the rest are vrud. this was a nice clever little monster flick about going on the rag and getting laid. It's over. The conceit has been explored and there no more water in the well. This will be pointless suck.
