Just back from the cinema, went to see quarantine. Scariest movie I've ever seen, I hate horrors, so I avoid the worst ones, but my friends invited me today and I had no idea about the movie. It's filmed like Cloverfield, but I was genuinely frightened the whole movie. I'm sure there is much scarier movies out there, I just plan on not seeing them.

Just back from seeing it myself.
It was scary but that's not what got to me. I can't explain it. I was just unnerved throughout.
Scariest bit for me though was definitely:

When the cameraman went up into the attic to see what was there and the face just flew at you

That bit scared the crap outta me...

The entire movie is unnerving, I was uncomfortable watching it, the shakey cam atmosphere was class. It's based on REC, a Catalan horror movie, the only difference is in REC at the end they actually explain the final penthouse scene.

Not sure if this will give anything away so spoiler tagging my whole post:

Yeah I would have liked an explanation alright, but I think it's kinda good the way we didn't get one, makes it creepier. The bit where Scott is bashing your one's head in with the camera had everyone in the cinema in stitches, lightened the tone, before f***ing you up again.
Few things I didnt get though was:

How come the little girl changed so fast when it took everyone else a while? I know she had it longer, but she didnt do any of the frothing at the mouth or spazzing the others did. Just went from completely normal to zombie-state.

Why did the first auld bird throw the fireman over the rail? They were more interested in eating them than random murder. Unless he went over in a struggle.

When Angela was looking through the old guys apartment for the keys ya think Scott would have helped Jake kill off the dude attacking him instead of trying to help her find keys?!

Did the press not see the Indian guy when he opened the window?

Why oh Why didn't they keep the white cops gun when he was injured?

Are the infected able to come back from the dead considering the cop shot the old lady three times and then she popped back up only to get sledgehammered.

The black cop knew what was wrong with the girl. He knew she was gonna try bite him. Yet he holds his hand out to her, puts his face in close then turns to the camera to talk, baring his neck to her? Seriously, just pop a cap in her knee or something and inject her!!

Some small things, maybe I'm being a bit pedantic, but overall I really enjoyed it.

Just looked up the summary of that movie. Glad they left it unexplained in Quarantine now. Bit farfetched.

I'm not sure about the kid, maybe the virus manifests itself differently in children?

The fireman was bitten by the old lady, and in the struggle he fell off the balcony.

Also there was so many windows on the building that the press crew probably didnt notice.

They definitely should have tried to get that guys M4 assault rifle too, they didnt utilise their firearms well enough!

The black cop had a vaccine or something to give to her, so he was probably hoping to inject her before getting owned.


I can honestly say if I was in that position these are the two option I would take;

1. Let the snipers around the building shoot and kill me.

2. Get the cops gun and kill myself.

No lie.

Yeah those are two very nice options. I would have tried throwing myself out a window right in front of the press so they'd know the military were lieing.

The M4 would have been nice but he was in the room with Fletcher and the cop and the vet and the other Hazmat guy so that was kind of unattainable.

Yeah he was trying to help her, I wouldn't have taken my eyes of her for a second though. Or at least knocked her out before trying to inject her.

Remember when Scott killedthe infected girl with his camera and then he was cleaning it with his shirt and you see a reflection of something moving along over his shoulder. Was that the lad in the attic in the vent? Thats the only thing I can think of...

Well i've only heard the single and it really is ****e. I was listening to the Guns n's Roses album there and when it finished the stereo started playing the next cd that was in there and i couldn't remember what it was as its been so long since i used the stereo. Usually just use the ipod. Anyway, it turns out to The National's album Boxer. So now im just lying in bed listening to it. Perfect start to the morning.

Xavi6

Ah yes that's a top drawer album. I usually listen to their catalogue on shuffle. Hard to fault any songs from their albums.

Necronomicon

I saw Quarantine as well last night. I enjoyed it considering I heard it was a shot-for-shot remake of [Rec], but I thought it was sufficiently different to be worth the watch.

delija_sever029 wrote: »

Every year I spend about €500 to get to snow, so you've no sympathy here

eZe^

The Deftones were the perfect start to my morning. They were the first alternative band I got into back in 4th/ 5th class, and they are definitely still the best band that I still listen to from that era. (Not hard when the competition is Spineshank, Slipknot and Linkin Park)

Think I might listen to Chevelle next, ah the memories!

Aye tis all good. Just a pity about the munter head on her.

You think that's bad, 7 days by Craig David came on tv a second ago, and embarrassingly enough the acoustic guitar riff in it is still awesome. I actually liked that ****head when I was younger.

I love both songs Al, but I have to say Shelter is my fave of the two.

Jebus keep them coming , fair play!

We're only 25 minutes in and I can already tell this won't be a good week.

Have an MS Access Database worth 30% in one of my modules due in at 12 tomorrow.
60% exam in another on Wednesday.
100% essay in another due on Friday.
And then next Monday a 15% assignment on Java.

And to top that the Club are having a 'Night at the Dogs' thing in Harolds Cross Greyhound track on Tuesday and now I can't go because have so much to do.

And the lads are going down to cork next Friday and Saturday night for a piss up and missing that as well.

UCD = Lame...

Same. I've a work exam this morning, except im sitting in my car about 40mins from work with my spare tyre after completely blowing out (tyre not even on the rim), waitin for a lift. Put this one on only yesterday when i got a flat. Won't get me out of exam or anything, just get me a work 'incidence' report apparantly. I hate mondays.

Morning gents,

Went to see "Burn After Reading" last night. Can't believe it's not getting more attention, absolute comical gold once again from the Coen brothers.

I'm in bad need of a full weekend off the beer to recharge before the bedlam of December.

I also went to the library yesterday, I forgot how depressing that is.


Good weekend had by all?!

Morning All,

Burn after reading is very cool, but alot of people hate it strangely, you either get what they are trying to do or not, I loved it.

I went to see the new Crowe & DiCaprio movie being Body of Lies, great flick very enjoyable.

Great post.

All of the Coen brothers films are like that. Its a certain type of black comedy that you either love or hate (or you get it or you don't). Personally I thought the last 2 mins of dialogue was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

ShiverinEskimo

Went to go see that over the weekend but it was gone from my local. The Dundalk Cinema is the absolute worst in the country. They cater purely for the young teenagers - something like disaster movie would be in there for weeks and weeks then Burn after Reading survived 1 week with normal schedule and then was reduced to one showing a day at 7pm I think and then was gone. Plus there's a good few movies they don't get because they had an argument with one of the irish distributers. Pride and Glory being the most recent example.

Hateful. There's a new big one being built right beside where I work though so roll on that. Assuming its not the same crowd.

/RANT

Aside from that I had a great, quiet, relaxing weeking and the best bit? It's still in progress - not in til tomorrow. :cool:

I wish I had a day off. I need somethin to slow down these winter blues.

I know what ya mean about the cinema dude, hate that sh1t. Lucky I have loads of cinemas accessable to me nowadays cos Im drivin.

Morning gents.

Lads, this thread isn't winning in the voting.

I hope none of you regulars voted for that bleedin' Premiership Picks thread. :rolleyes:

ShiverinEskimo

There's been times I've driven to Swords or Newry to see a movie that wasn't going to be in Dundalk or was taken out after a week of screening. It's a dump and I can't wait for some competition - and that's the problem, they are the only cinema in town so they can do what they like.
