I tried watching Cabin In The Woods again, and I couldn't stomach it so I turned it off. If it's really worth watching the whole thing to get to the end, it better be a damn good ending. And yes, I have gotten to the part where people start dying, but beyond that it's just not enough to keep me watching.

I get the whole concept of a controlled environment set to mimic common horror features, with the whole "create your own ending" thing (hence the betting) but oh my god. I get that it's supposed to be satirical but it's such a sleeper. It's kind of funny in the way that it's spot-on with the human stereotypes (stoner, smart girl/smart guy, jocktard he-man & slutty girl) but as a satirical film, it's just...lacking.

It's so bad that I can't even tell if it's really supposed to be satire or if most of its screenplay was written by Tommy Wiseau, then gussied up by some shitty first-year indie film writer who thinks they're ~so edgy~

2/10, shit film, wouldn't even enjoy it if I was drunk

in fact, this scene from Kentucky Fried Movie has more satirical depth and value than the whole of Cabin in the Woods, which should be re-named to Does a Bear Shit in the Woods? Discuss, and Skip This Movie.

$20 says this is how it went down...

Ki: Wow, this is a great movie.

ladyislingering: This is terrible.

Ki: I know, this movie sucks.

I'm on board with that movie being shizz. At first I thought it was a funny concept and it had it's moments with those one-liners here and there but all in all it really wasn't that entertaining.

I just thought it was a concept gone wrong. It could have been good, but the cheesiness made it very difficult to watch.

You didn't even watch the whole thing though, right? It's really not a movie you can judge accurately without watching the whole thing.

Why bother? Lil has spoken, so Ki's decision is made.

There was about 30 or so minutes left in the movie, so if those last 30 minutes are like the greatest thing i've ever seen in movie history, than yes I have missed out, but I got to the point I was at and still was not convinced that it would get better.
