Me? Watching something else.

I was watching The Matrix instead.

Getting a bee-jay in the back of my car by the captain of the girls swim team not caring a damn bit about that movie.

/wait the gym is calling.
//I'll be back in 26 min.
///don't wait up

movie was in no way scary. Lame and a total waste of time

I was sitting in a theater wondering why the hell I paid to see this steaming pile of hype.

I always wondered where the profits went for this movie. It's total cost when all was said and done was about $25 million (not 20k). Still the movie generated well over $300 million overall.

Crapping.

I was living in Englewood FL (near Sarasota, the home of the author/director). It sucked.

Still never seen it, still don't want to see it.

yeah,,,I finally got around to watching it for the first time I think,,,last year sometime. Wasen't excited about it when it came out, and the only reason I watched it then,,cause nothing elese looked good at the time. Guess I should have picked up a book, cause it pretty much sucked,,lol

Saw it in Richmond with a couple of my roommates that summer. The theater was almost packed, and I remember that during the final scene, everyone in the theater -- and I mean everyone -- gasped.
Then we went home and slept with the lights on.

Saw it opening weekend. Knew it was fake. The last 5 minutes was worth it.

What was really creepy? The theater I was in sold out of seats, and all 300 people or whatever walked out in complete and total silence. Nobody in our theater talked about the film on the way out the door.

Where were you when this crappy, one-joke, overhyped piece of crap crapped its way into the movie theaters?

Exactly! I didn't get one full belly-laugh out of this flick at all.

I Said: I was trying to convince a few 20-30 year old's that there was no way in hell it could be a true story. (I was about 17)

I lost respect for a lot of people when that film came out.

I never saw the movie. Did it not have credits that rolled at the end to name the people acting in the movie?

I watched my best friend run out of the theater three times to puke his guts out from motion sickness. That really was a lot of shaky camerawork.

Right after I saw it, a co-worker and I got a pile of rocks placed it on the desk of our manager who was off on a weeks vacation. Said manager mentioned that he was going to see the movie. Co-worker also took some Smarties and dental floss and made little "men" with them and hung them over the manager's cube. Lots of lols when he came back to work on Monday.

Wow,
I guess it's also the anniversary of the first time I ever watched a $2 bootleg DVD.

What a Blair Witch might look like in a good horror film.

I was in the movie theater watching it. I liked it. Go figure.

Gwendolyn: I thought it was so farking stupid we jumped theaters and watched the six sense.

And that... is why you fail.

/1999 was such a great year for movies, interrupted ever-so-briefly by that steaming pile of crap
//the week before seeing The Sixth Sense, I saw Bowfinger. And liked it 100 times more. Yes, Bowfinger.
///mmmmm, a still young and pert Heather Graham

I liked it better as Cloverfield.

Nothing special about the original but going to the first matinee of the sequel it was just me and a date in the auditorium(a heavily trafficked multiplex). They didn't even bother starting the movie, and we didn't care, walked out and were given refunds and a ticket pack.

On the sidewalk outside the theater with my girlfriend suffering from motion sickness.

Dug the movie though. The motion sickness side effect only made it more eery.

sigdiamond2000: Not to be a dick, but I find myself completely baffled by what most people find scary in movies.

Off the top of my head, I honestly can't think of one movie in the last 20 years that was billed as a horror movie that I've found truly scary. I just don't find witches, vampires, monsters, ghosts, and comic book violence all that frightening anymore.

I'm not trying to say I'm better than everyone else; I just don't get it. Every time I see my brother-in-law, he's got whatever the hot new torture porn movie is and he always thinks it's going to blow my mind, but those movies are almost comical to me. I get the sense that even my bro-in-law isn't actually "scared" by them as such, just excited by them.

The last movie that truly freaked me the f*ck out and scared the sh*t out of me was "Inland Empire", and that's certainly not what most people would consider a "horror" movie.

/Never seen "Blair Witch"...which I guess technically makes this a threadjack.

Did you see Event Horizon?

savage henry: The Blair Witch, coming at a time of overwrought thrillers, was a smart movie. Everyone was accustomed to the constant building music, cats jumping from behind curtains, the whole formula.

excellent point. Went the complete opposite way, and very effectively. And for all you folks biatching that it doesn't stand the test of time, the point was that it was a see it once and be scared, see it twice and be bored. It wasn't made to challenge the Exorcist, or even Halloween, it was just a one note scream, constantly building til the end, if you will. A first effort that got the filmmakers in the door, in a big way.

That movie bothered me....as did Blair Witch

I made my own version that Christmas; The Blaire Josh Project

My nephews and I went walking through the woods in search of places to hunt for deer. My nephew is on film picking up deer poop and rubbing it in his hands. Too big for YouTube though.

Great ending, shiathouse everything else beforehand. I still distinctly remember the theatre I was in filling with laughter at the "famous" scene where Heather is apologising via torchlight.

i was on tour, playing a show in youngstown, oh.

Same here. That's only happened after two movies I've ever seen at the theatre. One, Blair Witch. The other? The Passion of the Christ.

/mostly because we had just watched a 2-hour snuff film for the second one

After reading the hype in fangoria and knowing that it wasn't real I saw it against what a co-worker had told me. My pregnant wife was getting nauseaus and during the last shot i said to myself "That's it?" then made some snarky comment about how it should have been called "Mtv's The Real World:Goes Camping" Then months later I read about how the film makers saw the last broadcast at cannes the year before and ripped off that movie.

I will not be watching this movie, but am curious why the last scene was so 'good'. I just watched it without sound (at work) and obviously didn't understand what was going on.

Can someone explain why seeing your friend in a corner and then dropping the camera (or dying whatever the case may be) is not the most anti-climactic ending ever?

I was sitting next to a girl I liked at the theatre and I farted REALLY loud. Tried to pass it off as a shoe-squeak. Not sure if she bought. Didn't smell or anything.

/nope, didn't ever date her

The Ring was pretty damn creepy

I've never seen it. I was probably playing GoldenEye on the N64

Roook: Joe_diGriz: I couldn't get scared by the movie, because I was too busy trying not to get sick from the "hand-cam" technique.

I've never had problems with motion sickness in films. Do FPS video games also affect you? Or do you get motion sickness in cars? I'm just curious if they are connected.

I had the same problem with Blair Witch Project. And yeah, I can't play FPS games, and was the nerd kid who always barfed on the school bus during field trips.

It's been 10 years since "The Blair Witch Project." Where were you when this crappy, one-joke, overhyped piece of crap crapped its way into the movie theaters?

I was in a movie theatre, watching the film, being scared shiatless.

All you need to appreciate this movie is an imagination.

Don't piss on my parade just because you don't have one subby.

elchip: It's hip to hate it, but at the time it was widely loved.

I've never seen it. (I rarely go to horror films.) But "hip hate" is one of my pet peeves. The way people pile on when it looks like public sentiment is turning. I remember way back when all my theatre pals thought "Phantom of the Opera" was the cat's pajamas. Then a few years later, the very same people are mocking it mercilessly. Hip hate and pulling a complete 180 are very big in theatre.

It's one thing to love something then get tired of it when it's overplayed. In that case, you just step back for a while until you can appreciate it again the way you first did. But it's really obnoxious to go from love to hate.

Subby: I was with your mom. We were having intercourse.

goddamn shaky-cam.

forever cursed that movie will be. They can rot in hell.

Better movie...

/MALLOW MALLOW MALLOW MALLOW

I was probably sitting on the floor, watching baseball, playing with our 1 yr. old daughter, watching her attempt to walk.

Never saw it, for two reasons: I get major heebie jeebie nightmares from scary movies, and the handicam technique makes me want to puke.

I couldn't play First Person Shooters for the longest time either, because of the motion sickness, but I finally found one that can I play, and as an extra bonus, it has zombies in it!

Actually we had a bootleg and went to my cabin in the woods. Late at night we ran an extension cord into the woods to power the vcr and tv and set up the lawn chairs.

That was THE best way to watch it. I'm not saying who but someone shiat my pants while we were out there.

Sweet. The rest of my submissions will be about events from 10 years ago.

I was standing in the corner of some busted house in the woods somewhere in Md...I was admiring the wall.

Pocket Ninja: I was in the theater, watching it and enjoying it, and thinking to myself that it would not be long before proclaiming hatred for it evolved into the next bit of shorthand by which intellectual titans struggling to be heard by an unworthy audience could demonstrate to a world of lemmings the vast extent of their uber-cool and simmering angst over the simplicity of the sheeple-filled society in which they are forced to dwell.

Although, I will say that the movie does not stand up well to repeat viewings.

Sort of a meta-elitism here, with a dash of empathy in the end. Pocket's forumla is showing its age.

crap crapped



...is getting a kick out of these replies...

Wow, subby sounds quite jaded with life.

Walked out of it after about 10 minutes. Went next door to some Eddie Murphy movie that sucked just as bad. That also lasted about 10 minutes. The only 2 movies I ever walked out of were on the same night.
