Saw off that foot Westley!
This weekend I finally watched Saw I, II and part of III. I went to see Zombieland during III and caught the very end when I got home. They weren’t as scary as I thought they would be. I like gore but I never want it to be too realistic. I think the part that bothered me the most was the wife and daughter screaming when they were being held by Ben from Lost. He’s a scary guy anyway and if he held me hostage I would scream too.
It was fun to watch Westley saw off his leg. The only thing close to that in the second film was the guy cutting off a piece (perfect square?) of his neck to see his number. I also liked all the traps that cut people up. I do think that Shawnee Smith falling into all those needles was cool but a rip-off from Susperia. (Any excuse to link to that scene and this one. Yes I’m a bit obsessed, the wallpaper gets me every time.)
Here are the problems I have with Saw: “Lets play a game”, “I have a new game for you”, “There is one more game”, “One last game”, “Wait, you have to play yet another game”. “It’s a test”, “Pass this test and you will be free”, “Wait you passed that test? I have one more test for you”, “Opps sorry, I lied, there’s one final test”. “You need to care about me”, “No, you need to care about her”, “It’s about caring for her and not me”, “It was about caring for me, haha”. “You need me alive,” You need her alive”, “You really needed me alive, haha”.
Ok, those aren’t direct quotes but what was going on in my head. I watched thinking how many fucking games are there, how many tests, who are they supposed to care about, what the fuck is going on? Oh a flashback! Alright I get it now they are all liars, cheaters and thugs that need to play games, pass tests and care about some dying guy.
They need to care about Shawnee Smith and the Jigsaw guy but more about the Jigsaw guy than Shawnee cause she’s a murderer. Donny Walhburg is a bad cop and not as cute as his brother. Westley is a cheater. The guy who can talk to dead people from Lost loses the top of his head. And Rodger Murtaugh is an awesome narrator.
Don’t look into peepholes. Follow the rules even when you don’t know what they are. Don’t crawl into big old ovens. Don’t stick your hands in boxes suspended from ceilings. Don’t do drugs. Don’t murder anyone.
So in the end, its all about the Jigsaw guy because he knows where everyone still alive is being kept. Oh and they all have a limited amount of air that may or may not have poisonous gas in it.
I think. I’ll have to watch these again to get better perspective, who knows when that will be.
Now my head hurts.
I liked Zombieland. It was exactly what I thought and everyone said it is. I want to have a Ghostbuster’s roleplay orgy with Bill Murry, Woody Harrelson and Emma Stone. The curly haired Michael Cera annoyed me so I will not include him or let him watch.
