What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Ed Hocken]

Currently re-watching Pump Up The Volume. It's gonna be a gusher!

Samantha Mathis is hot in that flick, and Christian was the reason I wanted to do a podcast haha.

Did he ever make you want to gleam cubes too? Lulz

Watching Corpse Bride...not sure how I feel about animated musicals, but this is meh so far...

Watched The Descent. My thoughts are that it was effectively creepy and terrifying before the creatures even showed up. But since this was a "monster" movie, I accepted the creatures being there, I just didn't feel they were needed. What I didn't accept was the rules set up for the creatures: they can't see so they hunt by smell? Well, I'm guessing that a group of girls being inside your stinky cave would smell radically different from anything else down there. The girls should have been killed off in seconds.

I could look past that little plot hole and say that the scares were fucking effective and the movie was still good fun, if it wasn't for that fucking logic-rape of an ending. Seriously,

  Spoiler: ! 

NEVER END YOUR FUCKING MOVIE BY TELLING THE AUDIENCE YOU'VE JUST SPENT 30 MINUTES WATCHING A GOD DAMNED DREAM SEQUENCE.

Fuck you, Neil Marshall. You had a solid horror film on your hands that you fucking ruined.

I liked 'The Descent', but yeah...I would have preferred a movie that didn't go into monster territory. The claustrophobia associated with being trapped underground was terrifying enough.

[Abraham Smashington]

I preferred The Ruins.

Watched about 3/4s of the new Escape from Witch Mountain. Pretty good entertainment. I think it would make a good companion with Galaxy Quest.

Fool. Did you watch the original cut? They changed it for American audiences because apparently, we love happy endings.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I would have preferred it if someone made Ted the caver in the style of Blair Witch, along with the viral marketing attached to Cloverfield.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah, I love Ted the caver.

Fool x2! My cut didn't have a happy ending. My cut had a bullshit ending that totally flipped the bird to the last 3rd of the film. I didn't see any alternate endings on the DVD either.

[nerdious dorkus]

There's two versions, sucka.

  Spoiler: To dream or not to dream. 

The Descent was released in North America with approximately a minute cut from the end. In the American cut, Sarah escapes from the cave and sees Juno, but the film does not cut back to the cave.

The North American Unrated DVD includes the original ending. Recently, the film has been airing on Canada's The Movie Network, which has the original ending. In contrast the American Syfy Channel as recently as October 11, 2009 broadcasted the recut version of Sarah truly escaping with Juno's specter appearing besides Sarah in the SUV.

[Ari]

See, the American ending actually works better here.

[Abraham Smashington]

The Descent, like Matt said and you as well, would have been better without any monsters at all. And either ending is fucking stupid.

[nerdious dorkus]

Agreed. As long as it was implied, I think it would have been better. But monster and horror movies need bleak endings. We have enough happy endings in movies already.

Hi, I'm AZN and I don't approve of happy endings.
