Met Eli Roth today

He was a guest on the show today. Super nice guy and now I have a Louisville Slugger signed by the Bear Jew.

He seems like he'd be a really cool guy. Also he in my opinion is one of the only few that I think are doing horror movies right these days.

Like Hostel 2???????

Don't knock the Roth. Cabin Fever kicked ass. Hostel was a good grossout as well, but haven't seen the sequel.

So, what kind of show do you have?

Biggie, you're a good sport and a respectable person, but I have to take issue with everything you've just said. {:3

Re: Met Eli Roth today

He was totally a cool guy. It was kind of just another press thing for him so he was really just about promoting his movie. You hear it the podcast at krox.com/morningx

Also check out this. It's got some brief swearing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNSaurw6E_Q

OK, if Roth isn't doing it right, who is?

Re: Met Eli Roth today

I thought The Orphanage was a fantastic horror movie.

Cabin Fever kicked ass.

You really thought so? Some people go into the woods, they get sick, some die (I think), they go home. The end.

I remember thinking that movie was godawfully stupid, to be honest.

Re: Met Eli Roth today

I enjoy movies where comedy and horror are intermixed. My favorite Friday the 13th movie is Jason X (really, some of the one-liners in that one are classic). And Cabin Fever managed to be funny without completely undermining the horror aspect. Besides, any movie can sound ridiculous when summed up in such basic terms.

Speaking of, Wiki's plot synopsis for the movie Mora mentioned has some striking similarities to the original Friday the 13th. *** SPOILERS ***
An artsy version of that with a The Others/Silent Hill ending doesn't seem as entertaining as fingerbanging and jokes about squirrel sexuality. If bleakness was all it took to make good horror, The Mist would be the best entry into the genre in years.

Re: Met Eli Roth today

^I agree.

I really enjoyed Hostel 2 though, I thought the first film was trash. But the second had pretty decent story structure, and characters you actually cared about. Instead of a bunch of pot smokin' tards.

Re: Met Eli Roth today

The characters were largely incidental for the first Hostel. The star was the setting and the gore. In the horror genre, characters have always served in a more diminished capacity, unless we're talking about the killers themselves. Their victims are pretty much nameless fodder, distinguished only by how they die.

Splice was really good this year. And The Crazies did its part.

Re: Met Eli Roth today

But Splice was at its best when it wasn't a horror movie. :c
