Two hours, brutally stolen.
I just finished watching Jeepers Creepers 2. My mum rented it, as she thought it'd be a good "movie to laugh at".
You see, my mum and my siblings have this ritual, where we rent really lame horror movies and we watch them to laugh and/or poke fun at 'em.
It started with Night of the Living Dead. Now, if I were watching that movie on my own, I would probably die from boredom. But watching it in a group was great; the insults were flying from all corners of the darkened room, as was the laughter (particularly when the "typical hysterical woman is eaten by zombies, even though she could have easily escaped had she not been so hysterical" bits came along).
We also recently did this with Dawn of the Dead. Dawn of the Dead is a much better movie, in the sense that it was more enjoyable...but it's one of those movies that really benefits from discussion while you watch it. Normally I'd be annoyed if someone was talking, but with zombie movies, we all usually end up laughing hysterically as a result.
So we thought we'd try this with Jeepers Creepers 2, which we knew was going to be awful.
Unfortunately, there was very little laughter. If anything, a sense of disgust and awkwardness filled the room. More than laughing at the creature himself (or whatever his name is), our attention was focused on the director, who was becoming the target of our increasing annoyance.
Ah well. Can anyone recommend some great zombie movies for us to giggle at? I think we need to recover from that movie, which seems to represent every single negative thing that could ever be apparent in the history of film making. X_X
Ahem, anyway.
I don't really know what else to say in this update. What should I talk about next time? ^_^;
