Yeah surrusly... Injuries involving fingernails are horrible... Everyone cringes when that one zombie in Land of the Dead claws at a wall and it's fingernails peel off as it's fingers sort of fall apart... And that's just a damn zombie!

But as all the trailers/commercial spots imply, there is some toe-snipping... But c'mon, seriously... They should pry their toenails off, rip their toes out of their sockets, etc... Snipping them off is just a waste of good material...

Or the thing that would be terrible, you know on the top of your nails, where it goes out from your skin, stick something in there, or peel the skin up..


Eee, that hurt to type.

Was I the only one who found that video hilarious? Kind of like Black Metal or kids that shop at Hot Topic.

I might go see Hostel, but I might get kicked out for laughing now.

Yeah, that would make going to see the movie fun...laughing uncontrollably.



Reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Doubt it... At our sold out showing, people were laughing, cheering, clapping, and yelling at the screen...

Personally there was only one scene I laughed out loud at, and it wasn't one of the scenes of graphic violence... It involved someone getting hurt, but it was quick, bloodless, and they deserved it... :>

I just found it quite funny that he slipped.

I had a lot of laughs at Saw II. I didn't think directors could get away with making characters in a movie so incredibly dumb.

True... But people can be pretty clumsy... The evil-doers in this movie aren't professional hitmen or nothin', they're just people with money who are looking for a good time :>
But yeah, the movie is fairly ridiculously unbelievable...

They cut out the best part of that scene though... There's a reason the guy's on the ground twitching after he slips...

I saw the film tonight. It's not as bad as the ads make it out to be. Gorey yes. The parts that got to me a tad:


SPOILER EVEN THOUGH ITS LISTED LAWL




the eye being cut off and puss oozing out as the jap gal screamed

and

the achilles tendon thing was harmful. sound effects worked for that. haha



ANYWAYS


I thought the film was... ehh..
In my mind, I pictured it to be so much better. You could tell Roth made this. It makes use of a lot of humor and then a little bit of torture. Eh.. I dunno. The theme was really good. This could've been a great film. But it was just gore and nothing else. Blah.


Did anyone else find the part with the Jap girl walking around the platform odd?
