Skitch watches Pet Semetary remake

[Skitch]

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS

I'm 7 minutes in, and this just went Nic Cage Wicker Man.

They're kidding right now, right? No one would react that way to procession of children with masks and a dead dog.

[Skitch]

Mom is cool with cult kids but acts like old man in the woods is DEFINITELY a threat.

[Skitch]

I forgot this shit with the old dying woman. ffs. Is this subplot necessary? Does it go anywhere or serve a character motivation? I can't remember. We will see.

[megladon8]

While watching the origibal last night, I straight up said "why was this character in this movie?" during her final scene.

She's never even mentioned again.

[Skitch]

Hmm. Cool effect with the bedroom door leading to woods.

[Skitch]

Lithgow is great.

[Irish]

lol, this is terriffic thread idea

gonna watch original + remake

will return after

[megladon8]

Lithgow is great.

Can't this pretty much go without saying always?

[Skitch]

I actually appreciate the look of the actual cemetery. Yes its all green screen, but cool design.

[Skitch]

45 min in...it feels like they're pushing the wife dealing with dead sister as the driving 'horror' of this film more than anything with the cemetery.

[Skitch]

Gage is a stupid name.

Kill the fuckin' cat already. (min 47)

[Skitch]

Both your kids are playing in the middle of a dangerous highway. Why was the party even IN the front yard. Shitty parenting right there.

[Skitch]

So whats the plan here? Everyone came to my daughters funeral, but they won't bat an eye when she is suddenly alive again? Move far away with newly undead kid?

[Skitch]

hr 6min

At this point I'm reminded how this film started, with carnage outside the house. We definitely did not need that 'end-beginning' bullshit for this movie.

[Skitch]

Again with the cat.

Look, I don't try to harm any living thing. But I don't care if its a mountain lion or a rabid beaver or my beloved undead pet, if that thing tries to come at me I'm stomping its head until it stops moving then getting a kitchen knife and finishing it off.

[Skitch]

hr15

20 miles to Derry. Man fuck Maine in its asshole :D

[Skitch]

Lithgow is great.

[Skitch]

THIS FUCKING CAT

[Skitch]

hr26

Now back to our other program, Rachael and Her Sister, previously in progress.

[Skitch]

the fucking cat again

[Skitch]

Ah the kid is gonna bury the mom. Did that happen in original one? I thought the dad did. I like that. Like the Evil Dead trying to build an army lol

[Skitch]

Shits not looking good for little Gagey.

[Skitch]

Final thoughts...

I still don't really "like" either film, but I appreciate the ending of the remake more because it was less stupid. They're both chock full of stupid people making stupid decisions.

So I guess remake > original.

[megladon8]

Does the remake use Zelda as the main scare again?

[Skitch]

Does the remake use Zelda as the main scare again?

I guess? There wasn't much to be frightened by, especially when that subplot really doesn't go anywhere.

[megladon8]

We missed a great opportunity to go meta with this, and have an MC zoom call...
MatchCut watches Skitch watching Pet Sematary.

[Skitch]

LOL

You would not be impressed with the kid and/or dog interruptions every 10 minutes.

13 minutes in, do I continue?

You said Lithgow is great, so i think I might stick with it.

[Skitch]

The ending is interesting.

[Scar]

Well shit, that wasn’t half bad.

[Dukefrukem]

WTF?????????????

[Skitch]

We need to schedule these things. This needs to happen

[Mal]

[DFA1979]

I liked both the original and the remake. I slightly prefer the remake because of how it ended.

[megladon8]

Nice username.

Black History Month FTW.

[DFA1979]

Nice username.

Black History Month FTW.

It spells out Death From Above. I love Apocalypse Now.

[Grouchy]

Wow, a new character. Welcome.

[Scar]

It spells out Death From Above. I love Apocalypse Now.

There’s a band called Death From Above 1979. Sounds like a coincidence.

EDIT: and one of their albums is Black History Month

[DFA1979]

Howdy.

[DFA1979]

Yes I like them but I've only heard one album from them and it wasn't that one.

[Skitch]

I came out in 1979.

[DFA1979]

I came out in 1979.

Good movie year.

[Scar]

I came out in 1979.

Hahahaha. Does your wife know?

[megladon8]

Yeah it was 100% coincidence. Death From Above 1979's first album was one of my teenage favorites.

[Skitch]

Hahahaha. Does your wife know?

OF MY MOM

[Scar]

OF MY MOM

Great, now I’ve got the giggles.

[Idioteque Stalker]

[Skutch]

We need to schedule these things. This needs to happen

We should watch E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial first !

[DFA1979]

We should watch E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial first !

I am dying.

[Skitch]

Better be the VHS with the guns.

[DFA1979]

Better be the VHS with the guns.

That is the only version. Now I know you are not the evil one.
