Paranormal Activity

[Tuberski]

Anyone seen it?



Go to http://eventful.com/performers/paran...6/competitions to demand it in your area.

They get 1,000,000 requests and Paramount will release it nationwide.

Rottentomatoes.com gives a 94% rating.

ACK!

[KrazyHorse]

Can I submit negative requests?

This looks like a fun new marketing scheme. Also looks like a terrible movie.

My only fear is that it will be another Blair Witch Project, hyped indie horror film that really sucks balls,

ACK!

I don't like films based on the paranormal and supernatural. They propagate fear and ignorance amongst the general population rather than encouraging people to approach a strange or new situation with an open and analytical mind.

That might sound absurd to the majority of the poster here on 'Poly but I have to deal with people constantly engaged in accidental ancestor worship and who fear investigating a strange noise because it might be the bogeyman. Grandma doesn't care that you masturbate, she's been dead for a long time now. That odd moaning sound from under the house is a cat in heat, no spirit is going to jump out and steal your soul.

Blair Witch meets that silly video where you are suppose to look for a ghost and then they have that weird looking lady scream at you real loud thingy.

...that silly video where you are suppose to look for a ghost and then they have that weird looking lady scream at you real loud thingy.

This is the primary reason why the sound is off by default on every computer I've used in the past decade or so.

It's opening today locally, my wife and I MIGHT go see it next Friday. If the stars align and I'm done with my Halloween projects by then.

I've said from the beginning, Blair Witch should have never left Sundance. AT the Sundance film festival, it was presented as a documentary, complete with news reports, props, a presentation, and other things prior to it that created a whole different atmosphere to the movie than what could be re-created on a national level. I've had to explain a number or rather key plot-points to folks I've watched it with since. They just do not get explained by the movie, alone.

Once it became just a movie, it did take on a whole different vibe, and lost an incredible amount of it's original charm.

Watching the Blair Witch premier at Sundance along with Clyde Lewis, and a host of Ground Zero Radio listeners remains one of the top 2-3 movie experiences in my life. Sadly, it's not one that can be re-visited easily.

Yes, Paranormal Activity looks like it may be similar.

There's also an alien abduction movie getting the treatment, but I forget the name.

This is typical for niche movies, especially unreleased ones. The only people who vote are the fanboys.

I stopped listening to Clyde after Blair Witch.

ACK!

I thought this thread was going to be about the South Park clip making fun of the tv show ghost hunters.

[Theben]

Anything to get the morons around here off the streets for 2-3 hours is a good thing.

[Alex]

I thought Tube was asking if anyone has had any paranormal experiences.

[UnOrthOdOx]

ACK!

Well, yeah...he moved to Seattle shortly after that.

(FYI, I was on his show a time or three)
