Your Halloween Horror Movie Exploding

Maybe you think I like torture porn movies like Saw because...well, let's be honest...it says "porn" right there in  the name... it's not like it's that huge a leap.I really don't though because that nice Cary Elwes was Wesley in The Princess Bride and that's just cognitively dissonant. What I do like though is The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon.

 In Saw, we see a bunch of people trying to escape from a madman who is devious and tricky and just up to no good, and they usually die and there's a huge twist in there, but by now they are on Saw VI or XXIV or whatever and the incredible plot surprises have kinda gone away. The good news is people still get killed in them, even though there really aren't a whole lot of twists at all. Maybe you could fool yourself into expecting a light-hearted Sandy Bullock comedy, and then it'll twist all over the place. Because instead of having a hard time walking in heels or dating a guy she works with, Jigsaw will cut someone's face off. Surprise! 

The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon differs from it's contemporaries because it isn't even a movie but just a ten minute trailer and it's really silly. It does have some treats the torture porn fans, who are totally not the creepiest collection of maladjusted people you've ever met, will like. I mean...there's one part where a guy has an accident with a circular saw... so Huzzah, Freaks! 

Now I'm no genius about satire because I always think they are saying "satyr" and I'm all "What does this have to do with a half-man / half-goat follower of the Ancient Greek God Pan?", but I'm pretty sure Richard Gale, who made this movie wasn't being 100% serious. Because what forensic pathologist is that out-of-shape? I've seen enough CSI to know they are all muscular and handsome. Going into forensic pathology is pretty much the same as being a fashion model. True story. Also there is something else about this that makes me wonder if the producers were just goofing around. I can't put my finger on it though. Here's the trailer...you tell me if you can spot it.

I am having a hard time reading any of the recent posts on your web site thanks to the Blackberry ad that covers 2/3 of the first paragraph of every single post. I have tried readjusting the screen on my computer but it doesn't make a difference.

Stacy - I alerted the ad server and they are working on the problem. Thanks for the heads-up!
