Let's be honest, who's going to go see Saw V this weekend? I'm definitely not making the same mistake twice, but I am sure some of you are prepared to make an event out of this disgusting, grossly popular(?) franchise. It will undoubtedly be the No. 1 grossing movie in America unless people are tired (let's hope) of this franchise. But, if Max Payne can win the box office, this one will too.

Rather Saw V than High School Musical 3.
ReplyDeletedude you have no clue what you talking about, this movie's gonna be great
ReplyDeleteI've heard that Jigsaw's latest torture trap in the new one is to force a victim's eyes open Clockwork Orange-style and force them to watch a back-to-back High School Musical marathon. ;)
ReplyDeleteAbout 48 hours ago, I had no interest in seeing this movie. I remember seeing the first one on DVD, kind of liking it, but never following up on the sequels. Well last night, my roommate hosted a marathon of the four movies. Eight hours later, my brain hurts, my stomach feels queasy, and I feel almost obligated to check out the new one just for some peace of mind.
mhmm. Someone sounds a little opinionated. Is it lonely on that pedestal?
ReplyDeleteI must confess, every year since the first one came out I go opening weekend to see SAW...what they do, they do very well, and as someone I know recently said, it's kind of a throwback to the 80's and 90's that we can get a horror franchise with legs
ReplyDeleteI guess I do sound slightly opinionated. I'm not a huge fan of the franchise. More often than not, it's just way too much to handle in 2 hours. I've seen really good horror films in my day, and I feel like the Saw series is blatantly over the top. Perhaps that's what people appreciate about them. In any case, it's become a cultural phenomenon. So, I won't hate on those who partake in it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
I have a feeling High School Musical is going to be #1 probably. Which kinda sucks. It's a lose lose.
ReplyDeleteIs there a reason that the poster says "Saw IV" and not "Saw V"?
ReplyDeleteNo reason in particular. Figured any Saw poster would do the trick. Honestly, I hadn't noticed. Thanks for the correction.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I liked the third one much better than the second, but did not like the fourth so much. I think it would have done well to remain the trilogy, which fit nicely together. Why must Hollywood suck as much life out of the idea as they do? But I guess that is human nature - we're not so different from parasites are we?
