The Descent -- It wasn't the most enjoyable movie experience because the person I went with is not into "horror" movies and showed up to the theater five minutes after the start time of the movie. (She's family, so I gotta love her...or so she says.:p) The reason she HAD to go see it with me was because it was payback time. She dragged me to Date Movie, so it was my turn to inflict a little misery. She got off lucky if you ask me. I was originally going to make her see The Hills Have Eyes, but our schedules wouldn't allow it.

As for the movie...I liked it, although it was a little slow at the beginning. Now before anyone starts complaining, I don't have a problem with setting up background information or providing character development, but all of it dragged on just a little longer than necessary IMO.

Being a tad claustrophobic myself, the cave scenes left me a little breathless. All that climbing through tunnels, being in the dark, etc. got to me. And those "monster men" were pretty creepy.

I read that the original ending was changed to the one in theaters now because the original one seemed too "hopeless." Well, I don't know what their definition of "hopeless" is, but the ending they're showing now seems pretty "hopeless" to me. I'm anxious to see the original ending and compare levels of "hopelessness."

Can you pm me and spoil it?

It's not as good as Anchorman but quite entertaining nonetheless.

Ug, I think that looks awful. I loved Anchorman, but the previews from Talledega Nights look terrible. Anchorman had some twisted sence of class to it...this just looks juvenile, and stupid.

You know, that the exact scene that I was thinking of while writing that post. Worst part of a bad trailer IMO.

I hated Anchorman. I didn't think it was that funny.
