If I remember correctly Kylie Minogue was the asshole director who gets stabbed in the opening scene. The Drew Barrymore role if you will. She is a soap actress turned pop star who has a big gay following and is mostly famous for a video clip where she wears gold lamé hot pants.

The thing that bothered me about CUT was that it was apparently a big deal in the movie that they were going to finish the original film and it made the entertainment news, etc. but then they show up to film the movie with a few people and that’s it. I mean, that’s a nitpick, but a pretty big one. Even if it was thought out better regarding that it probably would still be average at best.

Haven’t seen POPCORN yet, but was looking for it on DVD this Halloween. The event in the movie sounds really cool.

OH MY GOD IMPRINT! I’ll never forget a few years ago I was attending the 24 Hour Horror Movie marathon in Chicago called the Music Box Massacre. Anyway, I was dozing off because it was really early in the morning and I remember waking up because somebody was yelling. They decided to show Imprint. Holy toledo that was one of the most painful experiences of my life. Nothing but yelling and shitty acting. Billy Drago gives the most rediculous performance ever. I really wish I never saw that crap.

Tangentially related to the idea of a “cursed movie”: The other night a photographer died of a heart attack immediately after shooting Lady GaGa on the red carpet. Which is obviously sad because someone died but is otherwise completely awesome since it makes it seem like it was his photographing of her that caused his death. Can’t buy publicity like that.

“Incident On and Off a Mountain Road”

oh man, i hated that one. lemme make sure i’m thinking of the same one. the girl crashes her car and some slasher chases her around the forest, while she flashes back to survival training from her ex boyfriend (husband)? thought that one was pretty awful. some neat ideas, but bad acting on behalf of everyone, and pretty corny videogame-turned-movie type action scenes.

Xambot — what’s your I, ROBOT story? Was it as big a clusterfuck as everyone thinks or did it just not come together quite right in the end?

Xambot – sorry for the error. I knew the Matrix sequels were filmed in Australia so it seemed to make sense all the others would be. Maybe he just knows Alex Proyas from the Australian film community.

Hey Vern, FYI: I Robot was shot in Vancouver Canada. I only mention this because I worked on the damned thing and scarred the living hell out of me.

The thing that most stood out about POPCORN for me was the inexplicably odd kills. Death by giant prop mosquito and death by unexplained pellets dropped into a toilet to create poison gas are, if nothing else, original.

Also, I would like to throw my support behind Miike’s IMPRINT and Lucky McKee’s SICK GIRL as the best MoH episodes.
