Who's Seen SAW II?

Am I the only one who's not at all interested in this? by mashman1212	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:12:16 PM
Just asking...
second and bored. by unclefishbits	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:14:43 PM
c'mon... we should be happy to take what we can get. Fact is, even though Doom was terrible... and this could be... you need to pump your money towards this stuff rather than the filth that the squares see. Look what is out.... what are you gonna see? Me... the original house of wax, or maybe Night of the Living Dead... but that is beside the point.... and I think I am just bored.... but I think I am second.
i enjoyed the first... by movieman742	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:27:36 PM
so I will see this one. I liked the first one even with the flaws that it had. I thought it was just a fun movie to watch. I don't really care for horror movies and the first Saw was the first horror movie I paid to see in theaters. I am wondering if the second one does well if they will do a yearly release out of future sequals.
cant wait by Drillin Dave	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:32:08 PM
ok so it may not be perfect or even that good but its OCTOBER and this may be the all we get. Has to be better then HIGH TENSION,which i just saw this week, writen by i would guess some one without a brain.
If your gonna make a sequel...make a sequel to somthing that was by goondock	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:39:32 PM
the first movie was ok....I can see why people who like to think about what they are watching hated it...but it was still solid escapist fare for those who like that sort of thing....2 can only be an improvement...I'm hoping for better performances this time around...and a plot with less overtly obvious holes
You say you're bored? Not interested? by TenderBranson	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:43:37 PM
then what the fuck are you doing expending energy to type, and add a post to a talkback for a movie that makes you bored. if you really were bored and not interested, maybe you would have just closed the browser.
'miserable Danny Glover subplot'? by quinndog	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:44:01 PM
for me the worst aspect of the first movie was the horrible acting by the two guys in the bathroom. loved the rest of it.
Like first Saw as a nice little outing.... by Johnno	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:44:45 PM
Too bad to hear that the traps aren't as inventive, thoguh that gun in the peephole shot looked great. I'll see this in the same manner I saw the first one... on video... lights out... with a friend or two... and lots of chicken...
The wrong Walberg by optimus122	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:53:03 PM
got the role..if it was Marky Mark I may have been a bit more interested.
the plot reminds me of the tarantino CSI... by mrgreentheplant	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:55:37 PM
for once he's not the one doing the plagiarizing. ooh i'm bad..
So what happens to the girl from Becker? by I Dunno	Oct 23rd, 2005 07:58:54 PM
I like her. And to everyone hating on this, well it's obviously not 'A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 1' but then it's not a remake either. "At Least It's Not a Remake" should be the tag line from now on for every movie where it's appropriate.
saw is definetly a divider film by goondock	Oct 23rd, 2005 08:04:18 PM
If you love it without being able understand why others would find some aspects stupid then you obviously spend very little time thinking about the films that you watch....If you write the whole thing off as crap then your a bit too pretentious to realize that movies don't always have to correspond with real life...which is why we watch them anyway...I'll agree with any one giving a mixed review....there were parts in the original that worked, but it lacked a certain intelligence that was needed to make it a solid film....lets hope that the sequel is a bit better, so maybe more people will come to like it
Sounds like Se7en meets Cube by Neosamurai85	Oct 23rd, 2005 08:19:51 PM
Hope it is better than the first... I really did want to like Saw. Danny, how did you fall so far from grace? Too old for this shit? Peace.
Fun house... by Neosamurai85	Oct 23rd, 2005 08:23:11 PM
Anyone else feel like a nod to Suspiro would be nice to see? Always did like those red lights in the hallways. Silent Hill 3 really made my night the first time I bumped into them in that fun house. Peace.
Oh and yes... by Neosamurai85	Oct 23rd, 2005 08:24:53 PM
I know Suspiro did not have a fun house, but people who have seen the film and played Silent Hill 3 should know what I'm talking about. Peace.
Lemme Guess.... one of the house folks is in on it.. by LargoJr	Oct 23rd, 2005 08:24:55 PM
And is helping 'Jigsaw' in a furtive and unobvious manner.. oooo.. I can SMELL the tension.. oh wait.. sorry.. (blush), damn microwave burritos.
Sounds like another bad movie coming out in October by AlwaysThere	Oct 23rd, 2005 08:28:58 PM
Yikes.
THIS is how the Joker need to be portrayed... by ZeroCorpse	Oct 23rd, 2005 08:35:16 PM
In the next Batman movie, they would be wise to pay attention to the kind of psychotic toying with people we see in SAW, because this (and Se7en) have the whole Joker mentality down, minus the clown-themed twists and trademark maniacal laughter from the Clown Prince of Crime. If the next Batman movie gives me THIS kind of Joker, I will have more respect for the filmmakers than I could measure in mere box office dollars.
Totally agree ZeroCorpse by Neosamurai85	Oct 23rd, 2005 08:48:50 PM
I'd love to see a Batman that hardcore. Peace.
Has to be better than the first by Pdid	Oct 23rd, 2005 09:00:21 PM
Honestly, this really has to be better than the first one, which was more unintentionally funny than a horror movie. The entire theater erupted in laughter when Carrie Elwes extremely overacted the final 20 minutes or so. Definitely worth checking out in a few months when the torrent hits, but not something I'll fall over myself to see. Also, for those bashing Danny Glover in the first one, it was pretty obvious to me that he had been living in a refrigerator box under a bridge for a while before they grabbed him to do the movie (or at least thats how he looked to me).
Put me in the ZeroCorpse camp on this one. by I Dunno	Oct 23rd, 2005 09:00:49 PM
If they made The Joker out to be this sort of villain, then a Batman film would finally do him justice. And I don't mean excessive gore. Everyone knows that Batman is PG-13 but the same level of depravity with the gore implied would make a kick ass film. The Joker would be more hands on of course and would have to be there to enjoy his victims' deaths but the general vibe would be the same. Then again, I think "Arkham Asylum" would make a kick ass Batman film even though I know it wouldn't make a dime, so what do I know.
"Arkham Asylum" being a graphic novel from the 90's by I Dunno	Oct 23rd, 2005 09:01:58 PM

Saw ending wasn't a twist... by stlfilmwire	Oct 23rd, 2005 09:15:28 PM
When the viewer doesn't have all the information until the absolute end, then how can it be called a twist? I didn't see the first one as having a twist at all.
"deader and deader"?! by Sir Loin	Oct 23rd, 2005 09:35:31 PM
That's worse than Dumb & Dumberer.

Meant to add "Worst horror movie tagline since "Sea Evil" from that dumb haunted boat movie a few years back.
On twists... by Neosamurai85	Oct 23rd, 2005 10:06:42 PM
Perhaps error is in your wording stlfilmwire (oh and Orionsangels, you might not want to read this) because what you just said didn't make a lot of sense. If you are given all the information up front, THEN what would be the twist? We are set up to believe the Jigsaw killer is the weird guy who has the doctor
thank you site editors for NOT marking this a Spoiler article by white owl	Oct 23rd, 2005 10:24:17 PM
Go to hell all of you. This movie has been spoiled for me.
Sorry white owl by Neosamurai85	Oct 23rd, 2005 10:29:15 PM
I guess I figured Orionsangels was the only one who had not seen it... and that anyone else would put two and two together that a post about the plot twist might give something away... Peace.
Maybe they should've titled the sequel "SAW TOO MUCH". (heh by JDanielP	Oct 23rd, 2005 10:30:45 PM

Oh... never mind. by Neosamurai85	Oct 23rd, 2005 10:37:01 PM
Yeah white owl, that does kind of suck... I mean, we don't know how it will totally end though... man, that's funny. I guess I really don't care about this sequel... it totally didn't register how much they gave away. Peace.
I totally different direction in the last part huh. by Meremoth	Oct 23rd, 2005 10:53:26 PM
My guess is that the end of Saw II is a musical. Jigsaw will belt out selections from "Oklahoma" and "The Sound of Music" while the police force bust out a dance number.
Not Interested Mashman? by jodocus	Oct 23rd, 2005 11:27:27 PM
If you are not at all interested then why bother reading and writing in a talkback about the it?
Correction! by jodocus	Oct 23rd, 2005 11:29:08 PM
Whoops left an extra "the" in there.
White Owl by LordVoldemoo	Oct 23rd, 2005 11:33:11 PM
The review doesn't give away the ending, which characters live or die, etc. It gives a pretty general synopsis of the plot, 95% of which is readily apparent if you've seen the trailer. There is some info in the review (i.e. the cancer thing, or the fact that the son is in the house) that I can understand some people would consider a spoiler, but I think if you have read any review on this site (and most others) you realize that it will disclose some facts about the movie. Some people who refuse to watch trailers, etc and who want to be completely unspoiled (apparently those like yourself) may be annoyed by the review, but I thought it was much more restrained in giving away info than a lot of others I've read on here. Maybe you know more about the movie than you wanted to, but I'd hardly say that the movie is completely spoiled based on that review.
Saw 3: Look Who's Sawing Too by Meremoth	Oct 24th, 2005 12:13:25 AM
I like that. It could have been for this one as well though; Saw: Look Who's Sawing II.

That's pretty good neo, but you forgot... by iamnicksaicnsn	Oct 24th, 2005 01:57:04 AM
Saw 3: Back in the Habit. Or Saw 3: A New Saw. Army of Teeth. Saw 3: Saw in Translation. Sawed Off. The Last Sawmurai. The Usual Sawspects. Saw Away. Me, Myself, and Saw. There's Sawmthing About Jigsaw... Anyhoo. Hell yeah, if the Joker was that sadistic, it'd be amazing. Of course, he'd have to be much more involved, than just fucking with them from a distance. As for Saw, I thought it was garbage, just a horribly done movie... but it DID have a good story and potential. Hopefully Saw II will fulfill that potential. There's nothing wrong with the tagline either, if you hear it in the context of the creepy voice, but ok, without that, it is bad.
no "good" by heystantheman!	Oct 24th, 2005 04:55:45 AM
While I enjoyed both Saw and Saw II, both film ultimately lacked what I feel is an often overlooked element that exists in all the great horror films: a powerful force for good. The Exorcist, The Shining, and even to a lesser extent Texas Chainsaw Massacre, all had protagonists who, through sacrifice, were able to stave off evil. After all, in a sense, the evil is the

But I still think that poster with the cut off two fingers is a by TheGinger Twit	Oct 24th, 2005 05:32:27 AM
That gross shit doesn't draw me in. Unless we're talking Zombies from the 'Dawn of the Dead' remake. Now those were some bad mutha fuckin Zombies! ZOMBIES!!!! Zombies suck.
Well stated Zerocorpse by Thirteen 13	Oct 24th, 2005 05:40:02 AM
If they make Joker like that in the next Batman, or even just a little like that, it will give the new Batman trilogy (which is already off to a great and stellar start) even more momentum and credibility.
Mark Hamill's Joker still the best by phelion2	Oct 24th, 2005 07:53:05 AM
mark hamill's voice work as The Joker has been the best interpretation of the character for the screen, the height for me being Mask of the Phantasm. Mask of the Phantasm got actual theatrical release, which luckily I caught and enjoyed tremdously. MotP is still the only batman film I have bought, on LASER DISC no less, it is still far superior to the current quality of DVD. I felt it the the most adult flavor of all the on screen Batman works (the reveal of Abe Vigoda's character Sal Valestra post-mortem is choice!) Kevin Conroy's gravelly "Jjjjjo-KERRR" just before he knocks out one of his teeth just makes you cream your under-roo's. I think MotP is also the first animated feature to be done entirely on black paper (1992) was still pre-full blown CGI invasion). Anyhow, I have no real interest in either SAW or SAW II, but love any chance to say how awesome mark hamill's Joker is and how much Tim Burton sucks when he tries to play in someone else's sandbox. He started the road that took us to shumacher's "Batman and Robin" and I hope he never get let near another comic book piece again.
Saw 3: Gettin' Jiggy With It by LargoJr	Oct 24th, 2005 08:12:16 AM
OH MY GOD!! There's a BOMB in my ribcage!! I'm hoping V for Vendetta is the film I've been waiting for (sigh)
Darren Lynn Bousman by DannyOcean01	Oct 24th, 2005 08:14:30 AM
I'm pretty sure Bousman wrote an original screenplay that he eventually rewrote to fit a Saw film. Did the first screenwriter actually have all that much input in the script?
like the poster by ABRNT1	Oct 24th, 2005 09:47:18 AM
the poster for saw 2 with the 2 fingers is an effective one. It's a real bitch trying to come up with posters for movies that work. liked the original and am waiting to see the sequel

Mistake? by timmer33	Oct 24th, 2005 10:14:50 AM
What mistake was made with Glover in the first one? I didn't read the above story - I'm avoiding spoilers for SAW II. But what mistake is the article referring to?

Saw it not. by radio1_mike	Oct 24th, 2005 11:08:58 AM
I rented the first and I liked it. (Seeing Cary Elwes go through a painful situation is great.) Not enough to buy it or see the sequel at the movies...
So we're all agreed? I get to write the next Batman movie? by ZeroCorpse	Oct 24th, 2005 12:14:12 PM
It may never be as great as my script for the movie version of "Burger Time" starring Christopher Walken as Mr. Egg, Steve Buscemi as Mr. Hot Dog, Abe Vigoda as Mr. Pickle, and Drew Carey as Peter Pepper, but it would be good. (A sample, to be spoken in Walkenese by Mr. Egg: "This is Mr. Hot Dog. This. . . Is Mr. Pickle. I'm Mr. Egg. You do not want to cross us Peter Pepper... It would be a mistake!"). It plays out kind of like "Goodfellas" but with giant hamburgers.

Looking forward to this, but... by slapshot	Oct 24th, 2005 04:28:40 PM

Yeah, the first Saw pretty much sucked...One could actually see through Cary Elwes bad acting, his badly wrapped foot, and the cheese cloth of a holey plot.
3ple A - That's GREAT news! by ZeroCorpse	Oct 25th, 2005 12:00:59 AM
Thanks for the heads-up! I really hope they come through with it... I've been saying Batman need to be like this for years!
