"Rest Stop" - brilliant movie, or crap movie?

[sniffa]

We're watching it right now, and I keep vacillating between whether it's brilliant, or total garbage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rest_Stop_(film)

There is a straight to video sequel coming out in October though.

[Orrex]

1. A straight-to-vid sequel means that the original sucks

Exceptions: Modern Disney cash-in efforts on classic animated films from decades ago. Thus a new straight-to-DisneyDVD sequel to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs would likely suck, but the original would still be a classic.

[sniffa]

2. The original was also straight to video

:shrug:

[Orrex]

3. Really? That's strange...

I could have sworn that I remembered seeing a commercial for its theatrical release. Perhaps I'm misremembering, and the commercial was actually for the DVD.

:shrug::shrug:

4. Dude...that last scene was fucking gross...

:puke:

[snailly]

5. It's a movie.

Stop vacillating and get a life. Take out the trash, take a shower, give your wife a foot rub, something please.

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Hissssss! Meow!!!

Who pissed in your Wheaties?

:wtf:

[sniffa]

7. Interesting

[DS1]

8. I'll have you know she had her feet amputated after a severe car crash

I find your post insulting on the highest order!

edit: AND offensive!

[snailly]

13. You know what? I don't care!

I am OFFENDED! I don't know why exactly but you will find out and you will pay, mofo.

[DS1]

15. Looks like someone could use a rest stop of their own

Offendor The Magnificent

[snailly]

19. It's a joke, dude.

[DS1]

21. I suffer from a condition which makes me find jokes offensive.

Also, I lost my feet during Hurricane Hugo. Who knew juggling chainsaws could be so dangerous in wind?

[JackBeck]

23. Obvious signs of social inadequacies.

Clearly, we must get that Aspergers diagnosed, especially since I'm telling you over the interwebs ya' got it.

[DS1]

25. I can't tell if you're making fun of me

so that's two symptoms. I'm almost there :crazy:

[JackBeck]

32. Not even.

Just playing with ya' after stumbling across that GD thread the other day.

:pals:

[DS1]

33. haha I know

playing back ;)

[LeftyMom]

9. The homeless can't afford to rent a movie, Mr. Moneybags.

:grr:

[bicentennial_baby]

11. It was on Sci-Fi, Pol Pot

:eyes:

[LeftyMom]

12. OMG! You're spending your financial aid on cable? PEOPLE ARE STARVING!

:nuke:

[bicentennial_baby]

14. I jacked someone else's, b/c they're obviously getting theirs

While I'm in a van down by the river x(

[sniffa]

16. Hey, we got ours, and that's all that counts

[JackBeck]

17. Well, when she's not wasting it on martinis at the country club

How else would you suggest she spend her financial aid? Buying Econ books and yarn?

:eyes:

[bicentennial_baby]

18. I drink Bloody Marys, thank you...

And I may or may not have bought yarn today. I plead the Fifth! Just like Dave Chappelle. :D

[JackBeck]

20. I hope those were vegan Bloody Marys, you lazy hunter.

And as long as you fashion me a beer cozy out of yarn, we're all good.

[bicentennial_baby]

24. For bottle, can, or glass?

:D

[DS1]

26. For JackBeck?

Try a human skull

[JackBeck]

30. Can? WTF?

They make beer that fits in a can?

Fwiw, I've graduated to red wine, so if you could figure something nice that fits around a bottle, that would be lovely.


:toast:

[bicentennial_baby]

31. Wine cozy it is!

And I can do that. :D

[JackBeck]

36. For the love of Jeebus don't let it look like these:

[bicentennial_baby]

37. I have better taste than that, dahling...

Because I have a touch of teh Gay, as you know. ;)

[JackBeck]

39. Total trust, yo.

:loveya:

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. Is it a documentary?

:dunce:

[sniffa]

22. I think it is

just like Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[Danger Mouse]

35. I knew a guy in college who actually thought the TCM was based on a real story...

and that the 'archive footage' shown in the beginning was actually real footage from the incident. Oh, and this is the remake we're talking about here.

[sniffa]

40. When I watched (the original) as a teen, I totally thought it was a true story

:scared:

It reminds me of growing up in the 80's where once a year, we'd have a big talk about child predators... and every year they'd tell the story of serial child murderers (dressed as clowns) operating out of an ice-cream truck to lure their prey. Every year myself, and my classmates thought that there was an ice-cream truck roaming around hunting for us. I couldn't understand why they weren't just arrested. :shrug:

[Drunken Irishman]

27. I liked it...I think.

If it's the movie I'm thinking of.

[DS1]

28. You're not helping

:grr:

[Drunken Irishman]

29. I can't tell if it's this or another movie I saw.

They're all the same! I get this mixed up with the other movies about a serial killer on a rural road that stocks a hot woman.

[Danger Mouse]

34. I read the summary on Wiki. It sounds pretty stupid.

[sniffa]

38. I read it before watching, and thought the same

I was actually impressed by the movie (based on my low expectations).

We're now watching "Room 6" which also sounds bad, but so far it's living up to it's low expectations. It has Jerry O'Connel and Marsha Brady though.

[Drunken Irishman]

41. Sniffa, I'll come over next week with my horror collection.

I have enough bad horror movies to open my own grindhouse.

[bicentennial_baby]

42. Please do!!

:bounce:

I'm a huge horror fan, good or bad. :D

[Drunken Irishman]

43. You two would love it!

I'm a horror geek, I buy horror movies I don't even plan to watch. I think I have a problem.

My favorite for badness, Blood Diner!

[bicentennial_baby]

44. I haven't seen that one!

How bad is it? :D

I love most horror. American, Italian, etc.

I love Zombie...C'mon, Zombie VS. Shark?! Who couldn't love that? :D

My faves are the American and Italian 1970s/80s flicks. TCM, Suspiria, etc...

:hi:

[Drunken Irishman]

45. Yes, I love 1970s era horror.

80s slashers. My favorite movie is Halloween, though I realize it's not the greatest movie ever made.

Blood Diner is about a couple of kids who, on the order of their dead uncle, begin stealing body parts to build a God named Shetar. They own a diner and dispose of the other leftover body parts inside the food and there is a scene where they walk into a nude aerobics class and begin killing 'em all. Oh it's awesome!

[sniffa]

46. I still have to finally see

"Salo" and "Men Behind The Sun."

I watched "SS Experiment 1" (but not 2) when I was a teen.

I'm a gore fan. :D

[DS1]

47. I saw that when I was about 15

loved the shovel to the back of the head
