Where's the Cloverfield review douchebag? by Internet Thug	Jan 21st, 2008 05:53:56 AM
is it actually physically fucking impossible for you to actually get anything done even remotely on time? do you realize that most competent reviewers write a review BEFORE the movie comes out? of course you don't. between you and harry this site has become ain't it old news. pathetic.
I'm gonna make a movie called BEAK... by Knuckleduster	Jan 21st, 2008 06:20:01 AM

great idea! be sure to include lots of shots of nuclear cooling towers in the background so that we can all "draw our own conclusions" about where your appendage got its mutation
Internet Thug, Get over it!!! by Dax_Bladerunner	Jan 21st, 2008 06:38:01 AM
Are you freak'n kidding me? Bitch, Moan, Whine, Waaah,... Give me a break! There are more sissys that come to this site to spend time complaining than should be even allowed. Who really wants to WASTE TIME doing that kind of thing? "Well golly, I'm bored. Why don't I get on the internet and join a talkback and BITCH, MOAN, AND COMPLAIN, about something, because I have absolutely nothing better to do with my life!" Thug, you do realize that you are ON the internet. There are movie reviews for Cloverfield to be found EVERYWHERE if you absolutely have to read one. I've been comiing to this site for a long time and one of the main reasons why is that I like MORI, HARRY, QUINT, CAPONE, HERCULES, and the rest. I consider them all friends. They don't know me from a hill of beans, and that's fine with me, but I come here because I like them and the site. I don't "surf" the internet looking to see who's "scooped" or "reviewed" the latest film first. I don't have that kind of time to waste. The people who like to get on these talkbacks and point out that their "high and mighty asses" read certain info at another site first, have got to be kidding themselves. If all the free time you have is in searching for which site scoops first, or to then spend that time COMPLAINING, rather than doing something positive, well then that is rather sad. Mori, don't let these kind of guys get to you. Yes, I'm eagerly waiting on your review for CLOVERFIELD too, but I understand that sometimes things happent that cannot be helped.
if mcweeny is your friend by Internet Thug	Jan 21st, 2008 06:49:11 AM
you should help the douchebag get his reviews in on time.
black post first? by br1947	Jan 21st, 2008 07:16:08 AM

At this point no one cares about Moriarty's... by Lenny8	Jan 21st, 2008 07:22:02 AM

actually, i care about mori's review by LegoKenobi	Jan 21st, 2008 08:36:37 AM
i've seen cloverfield, and i have my own thoughts, but i respect mori's opinion enough that i want to see what he thinks, too.
Mr. Snidely Whiplash by birdy birdman	Jan 21st, 2008 08:43:46 AM
your demonstration of even basic Cronenberg competency is embarrassing. if you can't appreciate the fever-dream epic of Rabid or the pure unbridled debauchery of Shivers and you really DID see Teeth (you keep trashing it but considering it's limited release unless you're in LA, were in Austin on the 17th, or are nearby the one theater in NYC that is playing it I question if you've seen it at all) and weren't able to draw any sort of comparison...well then I question if you've even seen all of DC's catalog at that point. Seems like you're taking yourself a bit seriously...do you really think Videodrome is his first great film? (Saying Cronenberg's greatest begins with...is a bit of an odd statement in general, I'd say it most certainly begins with THE BROOD if not RABID) I would think you would be able to recognize the merit of THE BROOD and SCANNERS as being keystone accomplishment for him as a director at the very least. i think the cronenberg analogies are a bit off myself, i really felt john hughes+jaws in every way imaginable as i stated at the q and a. not trying to be snappy or witty, but i think it encapsulates what i got from the flick in the most succinct way possible.
another review that shows Harry lied by ArcadianDS	Jan 21st, 2008 09:31:50 AM
when he said 'not a single moment in this film could be described as 'torture porn' We see penises. We see penises being cut off. Harry - what exactly is your definition of 'torture porn'? And can you confirm/deny whether you're being paid ad money to shill this film? I honestly cannot think of another reason for you to falsely mis-represent the content of this movie. Are you just a plant at your own site now?
A good movie by MynameisColm	Jan 21st, 2008 09:34:42 AM
It's a good movie. That said, I was lucky enough to see it with very little knowledge before hand. I don't know if it'd stand up to too much hype.
If you don't believe in sex before marriage by bingo the clown	Jan 21st, 2008 09:35:55 AM
May you never get married. And again, what's the difference between a vagina with teeth and a blowjob? The potential danger's the same. The girl in this movie is no different than any other girl.
Arcadian by the beef	Jan 21st, 2008 10:47:42 AM
Harry didn't lie about it not being torture porn, that's not to say that it isn't explicitly graphic. I think for this to be considered "torture porn" there'd be scenes of men essentially getting their dicks yanked off, and it being filmed with a porn-like angle to show it all take place. But, the dickmemberments (yeah, I just made that up) are fairly clean cuts. It's the equivalent of seeing someone get their arm hacked off with one stroke, only more shocking because it's a dick.
"You will see it." Is there a new addition to the film? by Bungion Boy	Jan 21st, 2008 11:05:56 AM
I saw this film at Sundance last year and absolutely loved it. When I told friends about it they all had one question. Do you actually see the Vagina Dentata? In the Sundance cut I saw, you never did. Have they added a shot of it or a new special effect? I don't know if it's needed. I thought the film worked so well before. I might see this in New York this week so I'll soon see for myself.
Bungion Boy by the beef	Jan 21st, 2008 11:20:04 AM
No they don't. It might be kind of difficult to film that considering the teeth are supposed to be inside of her.

Hey Mori by 2LeggedFreak	Jan 21st, 2008 12:33:21 PM
C,mon man we need to see your Cloverfield Review. Although you can tres pretentious its usually better than some of the sycophantic crap we see on here.
Hey Harry by 2LeggedFreak	Jan 21st, 2008 12:33:54 PM
You need to watch Mori, he's making you look bad man !!!!
Hey MiraJeff by 2LeggedFreak	Jan 21st, 2008 12:35:19 PM
What kind of sad loser posts a licky arse message to a colleague on public forum Whoah man, thats just diirrrty!
Beef by Bungion Boy	Jan 21st, 2008 12:51:00 PM
Thanks. Yeah. I didn't remember seeing anything that graphic. I remembered the teeth were inside her. It was a lot better that everything was left to the imagination. Just wanted to clarify that they didn't add any more gore effects to make it more of a gross out horror film. The penis falling from between her legs is all I need. I can't wait to see this again.
'porn' in 'torture porn' refers to the graphic indulges of the v by George Newman	Jan 21st, 2008 02:31:26 PM
the 'porn' in 'torture porn' refers to the graphic indulges of the violence. The film revels in showing the torture. In the original christening of the term "Torture Porn", it had nothing to do with sex, or some kind of combo or sex and violence. It was about the 'pleasure' the director took in showing the violence. It's about comparing scare techniques If the scariness of Horror films like Friday the 13th or ALIEN is like R-rated sex, then HOSTEL, etc is like XXX-rated sex. It is less 'romantic' for horror fans because instead of relying on suspense and "what-you-do-not-see", the Torture Porn tries to scare you by showing every thing. Torture porn's 'scare' is in the painful display of the horror violence. Porn is just sex, while R-rated or softcore strive to be Romantic:::Torture porn is just graphic, while standard horror is terrifying in its suspense

hey pierre go fuck yourself you fucking cunt by birdy birdman	Jan 21st, 2008 05:28:43 PM
hows that for waxing poetic you miserable deushbag yeah i was waxing poetic and i'm patting myself on the back, serves me right for trying to articulate a point. sorry i just hate catty fucking losers like you who feel the need to let their opinions known, the dude was behaving like an asshead and attacking the movie probably without having seen it and i tried to make a good point and i have to take shit from you? fucking eat a dick man don't even fucking respond, just shut the fuck up and find something else to do, FUCK now i have to fuckin smoke this bong and chill out... that shit pissed me off

They really should have made the slogan for this movie "A SNATCH WITH A CATCH"
"fever dream epic" and "pure unbridled debauchery" by birdy birdman	Jan 21st, 2008 05:40:52 PM
are not waxing poetic, fatass. mori's description of rabid in this very review is along the same lines, and if you don't call a man walking about with two naked 10 year old girls on leashes pure unbridled debauchery then what the fuck do you call it. and they are avaliable at hollywood video, it's not like they are hard to track down, so why the hell would I be proud of myself for seeing them? And also, how is The Brood less of a better looking film than Videodrome? I love videodrome but this statement "The man is a genius. TEETH does not deserve to be compared to his work. Also, his old horror movies are waaaaaaay pverrated. B-movie bad. CRONENBERG's greatest begins with VIDEODROME" brings up several issues with me. First, is the comparison being debated valid? Probably, yes, I saw it in a different way but yes. Second, Has this person seen the film? If you're going to say a film does not deserve to be compared to someones work, then you better have both seen the film being discussed AND demonsrate basic knowledge of the subject you are talking about. So don't try to fuckin' throw pebbles at me for no good reason because I have every right to address these issues because guess what, I loved the movie and I think the comparisons stand, and I love Cronenberg and I want to defend him as well from pretentious deushbags.

"Carrie by Zeke25:17	Jan 21st, 2008 11:32:24 PM

AHAHAHA by birdy birdman	Jan 21st, 2008 11:35:57 PM
your eyes are rolling cause i just decapitated you, resin balls and jizz-stained comic books sounds like someones projecting memories of high school, nah i was the one making fun of you back then too, and "anyone reading this" will probably see that i safeguarded myself pretty well against your attacks considering i was making fun of the image you were going to paint of me and then you went for it full throttle, you're using ammo i gave you read the fucking posts. pretentious dork twat dude you're coming weak man go for a run or some shit. stand up next time before you impulse post a little prose never hurt anyone. Read Mori's description of Rabid. Watch Shivers and tell me it isn't pure unbridled debauchery. sit the fuck down PIERRE
Sorry, that should have read: by Zeke25:17	Jan 21st, 2008 11:38:18 PM
"Carrie" is one of the best horror films ever made, period. Whether or not you want to take the subtext (the power of female sexuality, blah blah blah) the movie works brilliantly. And it didn't have to resort to putting TEETH in her cooch, either. I respect and admire most of Mori's work, honestly. But you could not pay me to sit through "Teeth". Gee, how refreshing: all men are basically scumbags regardless of age, and the best way to emasculate 'em and show just how much better we women are is to BITE THEIR DICKS OFF! Such art, such symbolism, such depth of thought! But then some people thought that a photograph of a crucifix in a glass of piss was art, too; so is this really surprising?
it's not often that someone gets directly rebuked by birdy birdman	Jan 21st, 2008 11:40:28 PM
in a post that precedes their actual attempt to flame someone, congratulations. by the way, someone who would roll their eyes instead of call the person out in person if they thought they were being pretentious, is a bitch.
by birdy birdman	Jan 22nd, 2008 12:07:19 AM
and to clarify the reason i said stand up is because the fact that i was using an angry, heightened sense of sarcasm to rant about how fucking asinine your concepts are seemed to zing by and nick your fucking bald spot on the way over, shit for brains. AND WHO THE FUCK SCRAPES RESIN? let me guess you were the one BUYING the pot in high school... dude if i tried to like rebuke your FUCKING HILARIOUS interpretations my the person i am and my lifestyle on a point by point basis there is no way i wouldn't sound pretentious let me just put it at that with COMPLETE confidence that you are a timid, passive aggressive pussy piece of shit.
seriously i feel like i have to rebuke this dude on High School by birdy birdman	Jan 22nd, 2008 12:23:27 AM
since that's the fuckin interpretation this geek seems to have of me, trust me fuckin lardo i do alright for myself, you wouldn't know me if you saw me that's for sure but i bet i'd know your geek ass on sight. i don't give a fuck if you think i'm trying to sound cool man just because i am not afraid to speak up with real talk then you sound a little fuckin THREATENED bitch, see i think there will always be people who roll their eyes at people who aren't afraid to speak from the heart because they are too pussy to do it.

god this is fucking stupid by birdy birdman	Jan 22nd, 2008 12:41:13 AM
what a gay medium i can't believe i even wasted my time with this. bottom line, there will always be people like you and there will always be people like me, pussy. i know what type of person i am and don't assume to know shit about you (all i can tell is you're a pussy who probably can't speak up for himself in person) so don't go trying to make assumptions because you might reveal more about yourself and your experiences than you'd like to, fuckin LOSER. seriously. i bet you're the type of dude who is the 'fat ugly best friend' of hot chicks who makes fun of the guys they secretly fuck. introduce me to your wife or girlfriend and i'll demonstrate this point first hand! if you have one!
Remember when this talkback was actually about a film? by Zeke25:17	Jan 22nd, 2008 01:24:44 AM
Who is this "birdy" person, and why is he having a conversation with himself? Or is this some strange new viral marketing strategy for "Teeth"? And whoever first made the blowjob reference makes a great deal of sense: just because there are teeth there doesn't necessarily mean they will BITE. With some girls, the choppers do a little scraping, yeah; not the most pleasant sensation, to be sure, but not quite the same as a chomp! Other ladies have demonstrated what I can only describe as a RETRACTION of the teeth up into the gums; that is, you feel nothing but lips and tongue...presumably, if the gal in the movie gets stretched out enough, you might not notice them canines and bicuspids at all!...Now isn't that more fun then aimless rantings in which the words "pussy" and "loser" figure prominently?
teeth by The Real MiraJeff	Jan 22nd, 2008 03:40:54 AM
saw it tonight, thought it was pretty good, had me laughing pretty hard in spots, and cringing (in a good way) during others... little slow in the middle but jess weixler and john hensley (forgive the spelling) were both great... overall, definitely better than i expected it to be, wish they had used that score though... a much more reliable horror pick than leslie vernon or hatchet

you'll get owned again you fucking loser, just clarify that you were/are the guy who had the hot female friends, tried to rip on the 'jocks, frat boys, or druggies' to make her laugh, then cried in secret in trying to ignore the fact that she was fucking them, crying yourself to sleep every night right?. i can tell this is your big moment to finally stand up againsr guys like that when you couldn't do it in public (trust me you wouldn't do it if this were in person, i'd call your ass out if I saw you roll your eyes at me and I bet you'd start stuttering like a bitch cause that just strikes me as the kind of person you are). hey but at least Zeke has your back. seriously, borderline middle aged, obese soft-spoken manchildren fumbling around on talkbacks trying to posse up with their softspoken brand of bitching need to GET THE FUCK ON. if that's not you yet it's what you will be. every aspect of this little flame war you got shit on, all you could do was try to mock me for being crude and an asshole while i systematically debunked every argument you had, some IN ADVANCE. i was TRYING to talk about the fuckin movie and have a discussion about cronenberg but you jumping in with your fucking high levels of estrogen have ruined that. so instead of your weak ass shots, square's version of what you think a stoner to be, and gross misinterpretations of me getting heated at you (fuckin please man do not mistake me getting heated for me systematically and consistently providing counterpoints that you regularly just either gloss over or ignore completely because you're a fucking idiot). bottom line dude there's always going to be people like you and there's always going to be people like me, you can have the talkback i'll just keep living my life, if it's really as pathetic as you project your own to be i guess i couldn't say with complete confidence that i'll be fucking a girl tonight i have not yet met. gotta go to class, old man, enjoy your internet porn and shitty menial existence.
