Anybody see this?

I did, last nite. Enjoyable performances, fair concept... Sort of petered out at the end. Nice nod to death coming in three, though.

Also, Keaton pulled off some of the same sort of mugging and gesticulating that Matthew Perry made famous in portraying Michael Keaton for an SNL Celebrity Jeopardy!

That was killer.

I read the book that this movie isn't based on.

Gonna go see this for free today. It was shot in Vancouver, so I don't expect much. Gotta say, though, the line they use in the trailers (see signature) promises a motherlode of unintentional humor.

Since moving to Obner, I had had one username prior to becoming Benvolio. I was Monty; Monty was I. But, since Colin TX and Tanny-ass insisted on calling me Montague, I decided to demonstrate my meagre allotment of cultural enrichment and go with the Shakespearean. Mmmkay?

... So, mark that on your ShmooPoll listing. Benvolio is already logged and accounted.

Also, there is no Anthrax on the score. Not that I could tell anyway.

John Bush is pissed.

My take:

Poltergeist + Ghost + The Ring - everything good about those movies = White Noise.

those were two hours I could have been asleep on my couch that i'll never get back.

I don't know how any of you could have gone to see this. saw a commercial for this and was first unhappy with the use of the DeLillo title novel for such tripe.

that Poltergeist + Ghost + The Ring but shitty equation is dead on and the exact feeling I had when I saw the ad expressed in mathematical form. i'm just glad i didn't pay $10 to have to figure that out.

Or Anthrax.

What, no love for the NYC metal-core originators [sic] (in case they aren't the originators)?

Or, are you just an anti-Semite who hates Jews who play down-tuned five-string guitars?

Naw I like Joey Belladonna era Anthrax. Their album title is Sound Of White Noise though, not just White Noise.

What the hell happened to Michael Keaton the past seven or eight years? He went from A-list superstar to invisible then shows up in that First Daughter movie and all of a sudden is starring in this one. But he did basically nothing for quite a few years.

I like the ad for it. The voiceover sounds like the v/o at the beginning of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This movie is probably horrible though.
