(Note: You need not bother with the Director's Cut, the regular release is fine, if not even more streamlined.)<br />What is striking about the creepiness of this film is that the sensation gets established early that the world is going to end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds, so anything, AnyThing, you'll do until then is somehow protected, sanctioned and inevitable. Until then, you will be, unspoken yet understood, insulated in a bubble of safety. The fact that this is established calmly by a skull-faced six-foot tall bunny rabbit named Frank just makes, once again, the dread perfectly normal. <br />Yes, you read "skull-faced six-foot tall bunny rabbit named Frank" and "normal" together in the same sentence. That's how unique this movie is.<br /><br /><br />...Oh, and how could you NOT include "Weird Science" in your Teenage Romatic Comedy movie roster? Are you too young to remeber that? Geez, I must be old now. I need a lawn just so I can chase kids off of it. [spit-TANG] You kids today with your Internets and your I-Puds, why, we had to power our boomboxes with a rack full of "D" batteries back in our day and we were GRATEFUL. GET OFF MY LAWN!!<br /><br />-Troy ZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571647.post-44726812790416336002006-12-20T13:07:00.000+02:002006-12-20T13:07:00.000+02:00Thanks Troy, I read the review and the film seems ...Thanks Troy, I read the review and the film seems interesting.

It's almost bloodless, there are no real "boo" scares, but the entire sense of dread throughout hinges upon the sheer NORMALITY and ACCEPTANCE of the horror that transpires, as well as the eventual understanding by you as a viewer of the complete situation by the movie's end.<br /><br /> You expect to get a jump or a gasp from the audience with a masked slasher, say, suddenly jumping through a closet door, but when you can get that exact same reaction from, of all things, your cheerfully smiling dad sitting next to an open phone book, THAT is a masterful example of direction.<br /><br /> Please take the time to see it. I recommend buying a copy, I did so myself. It creeped me out through no easy mechanisms, and I suspect it will strike you hard as well for the exact same reasons.<br /><br />-Troy ZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571647.post-11267130543753825322006-12-06T22:13:00.000+02:002006-12-06T22:13:00.000+02:00Yes, I was in Freres school.

You watch out for them, anticipate them and want to make them fail. You're challenging the movie rather than helping- even allowing- it to make you chill, and that's probably what stops you from enjoying it! Your friend put it well. I hate most horror films. I agree with Tala- they either lack a point, are disgusting, or ask you to be naive.<br /><br />I go for any comedy that cracks me up. I need certain moods to really enjoy Becker:)Raniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106328779706288566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571647.post-63684406289537459612006-12-06T14:04:00.000+02:002006-12-06T14:04:00.000+02:00Amer, we go to the same Ethics class!!Amer, we go to the same Ethics class!!Devil's Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541884626112839842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571647.post-54438394823156475182006-12-06T01:59:00.000+02:002006-12-06T01:59:00.000+02:00Answer to the book tag upon request from Tala:

If we chose a value X1 in (10), then the value of X2 is uniquely determined. For example if we include the equation X1 = 2 in the system (9), then from (10) we compute X2 = -8.<br /><br />Name of book: Numerical Methods Using Matlab.<br /><br />Authors: John H. Mathews - Kurtis D.

I also agree that horror movies are unrealistic and meaningless, but I disagree on the disgusting part. They dont move me a bit, disgusting would be a big complement. I dont think they deliver any feeling of disgust, not for me at least.
