see and i'm of the opinion that paranormal did it RIGHT
because things actually happen in it
and it's little things
but the fact that you see them and not just hear about them after the fact makes them fucking terrifying
also the thing where she gets dragged out of the bed by her ankle is absolutely The Best Scene
Paranormal 2 blew it away though with its version of it, because you have that beat where the mother is safe and everything is okay and then HOLY SHIT IT GOT HER AGAIN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
also katie's bosom was impressive

see and i'm of the opinion that paranormal did it RIGHT
When the movie spent nine continuous minutes in utter silence, culminating in a sheet being slightly tugged, I groaned a groan not heard since the last neanderthal got stuck in a tar pit and spent a week dying of boredom.
Also the incredible whiny blandness of the girl. Also the incredible, staggering douchebaggery of the dude, I wanted their deaths.

Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.
this is fucking blasphemy, unless you're coming at it from the perspective of "it makes me nauseous" in which case i'd say that the PA series' reliance on steady shots makes them head and shoulders above everything else in that regard
found footage is incredible because at its core it's all about breaking down the barrier between the audience and what they're seeing
you know the old Last House on the Left tagline? "just keep telling yourself, 'it's only a movie, it's only a movie'"?
found footage by its very nature is about making you forget that its only a movie

pretty big exaggeration here since anything more than a minute or two gets fast-forwarded through
also ironic considering how little happens in BWP
also the movie is about the relationship failing due to him being a giant douchebag

yes it is
That doesn't change anything
It's not a matter of whether it is on DVD or not, it matters with regards to whether someone has seen it
I don't watch movies that often overall, I am a fairly busy person at times
what the fuck is it with people who think themselves too good for spoiler tags
you'd think it would be an atypical phenomenon but no they pop up all the time it's a goddamned disease

If Buttlord took the half second to click the spoiler button, he'd be compromising his edginess. How can you expect him to do that??

and i love it for that
And maybe when I see something found footage that isn't a piece of shit I will agree with this

@Buttlord I have not seen Paranormal, and I was planning on renting it this weekend. Thanks for spoiling every last scary part...And I even thought it was a romcom before you ruined my weekend. Now I don't even know if I am going to rent it.

Pfft, everybody's an energy vampire.
four if we're talking PA1
i mean, i'm not gonna see those movies because they look dumb/and i'm a coward but come on dude some common courtesy
h-how raw
spoiler tag errything just to be sure

Not actively planning on seeing any of the movies discussed, because fuck found footage
But I watch a lot of horror, so they are a thing I would eventually stumble through
you misunderstand my point
i got no problem tagging things for current/just-past-current movies or whatever
but once you get past a year or two i stop giving a shit
it was in theaters two years ago and on dvd six months later, and it's streaming on netflix
watch the fucking thing or don't
but i'm not spoiler tagging literally everything that happens in every movie this side of fight club because someone might not have seen it
this is fucking blasphemy, unless you're coming at it from the perspective of "it makes me nauseous" in which case i'd say that the PA series' reliance on steady shots makes them head and shoulders above everything else in that regard

which happens to everyone and is fine
but then they get defensive because it can provoke a sudden and apparently sharply negative response
that's not actually what's going on here
You're acting pretty dumb about this for basically no reason
But that's the bit I guess?
If Buttlord took the half second to click the spoiler button, he'd be compromising his edginess. How can you expect him to do that??
And maybe when I see something found footage that isn't a piece of shit I will agree with this
i've explained my reason but i guess me explaining my point and then other people ignoring it and going IT'S FOR NO REASON is a Thing
Yeah it is
you've explained your reason and everyone else has explained that your reason is fucking stupid

You're acting pretty dumb about this for basically no good reason
There, I think that expresses it better
It's kind of a weird position, IMO.

i'm done
And that is including rewatching my favorites.
Most of the movies in question are probably not new releases too. Like, I an guessing I have seen maybe 20 movies made in the last three years, tops.
and I'm pretty sure the only new one I saw last year was Captain America
and even then I saw it on a plane months after it came out
