FEAST!

[robokatt12]

Did any of you guys get caught up in the drama of Project Greenlight ? I sure did-and I can't wait to see the finished product, which promises to be really stylish and suspenseful. Maybe this will be the beginning of a great career for an exciting new directorial talent.
The monsters look fantastic, judging from the few stills that have been released-and the poster artwork.

What in Blue Blazes?! Sorry about the double-post nonsense. It's them uppity computers...they're out to rule the world!

Why? Is there some kind of PRIZE involved?
If that&#39;s the case-I hope that it&#39;s ca$h!

Well, you&#39;re way ahead of me, your Royal Witchliness. I just wanted to talk about Feast, because it promises to be the gorefest of the year -but I guess I&#39;ll have to wait until it hits the local bijous. I wonder if I&#39;m the only cat amongst us that watched the final season of Project Greenlight?

Your pet, eh? I wonder if that means you&#39;ll do the responsible thing and have him neutered...heh!

[WelchWitch]

Nah.. I like him the way he is. If I do he might settle down and be quiet and that would be too weird. I enjoy him more like he is.

Yeah I watched it, I really liked the director I just wish this hadn&#39;t been handed over to Dimension. They don&#39;t produce very good horror movies in my opinion, especially creative ones. I heard though it&#39;s only playing one night at select theatres and then going to DVD, so that&#39;s where I&#39;ll probably end up seeing it.

Yeah, what in Blue Blazes is up with that release? (I read that it&#39;s going to be a one-time midnight showing). Still, if it plays locally I&#39;ll be there-and if any of you are up for it, let&#39;s make an outing of Feast. Has anyone heard whether or not Denver&#39;s slated to screen this film?
The movie biz is a screwy thing indeed.

Even if I don&#39;t get free tickets, I&#39;ll be there.
Thanks a lot, Tye.

I think FEAST is playing this weekend (Sept 22&23) only at the Esquire...

Thanks, Jason. I didn&#39;t get out of work in time to see it last Monday-and I had two free tickets. Bummer, huh?

[Sanity]

I got the same news about this weekend, sadly tommorrow night Dj Krush is playing at the Fox in Boulder so I can&#39;t make it.




Speaking of gore fests though, when you say that I think of &#39;The Hills Have Eyes&#39; which realy turns me ff horror films, poor plot, sad acting, rdiculous blood...pitiful expeirence

[robokatt12]

I finally got to see Feast last night-and well, frankly, I&#39;m disapppointed . The restraints of a low budget and sloppy editing almost ruined it for me. Now that furiously shaking the camera so that the viewer has NO CLUE as to what&#39;s happening is in style (thanks, Blair Witch, Saw,etc.) there were many moments of just thinking "Huh!? What the frak just happened?"
I&#39;d love to know what John Gulager thinks of the finished product, because I have no doubt that with more money and creative freedom that he could&#39;ve done something much more impressive with his talent.There were brief glimpses of real panache on display.
The screenplay had a few tricks up its sleeve, mostly due to unexpected turns that completely shattered the situations and character reactions that we&#39;ve become accustomed to ( i.e. bored with). The attempts at humor usually fell flat in my opinion, some of the dialogue was groan-inducing.
As for the monsters, well, you never actually get a decent look at any of them. My impression is that they are big ,drippy, ambulatory buffalo-skeletons wearing ratty carpets. Oh, and they have TEETH, lotsa teeth. Like I said, the camera had a serious case of the DTs.
There are plenty of issues I&#39;d like to be specifically critical about, but that&#39;d fall under the category of spoilers-and some of you may still want to see this film. Feast was a mixed treat-or-treat bag-and I found waaaay too many rocks in my plastic jack o&#39; lantern.
I came away with the feeling that the money and time ran out for this project and that the Money People just wanted to "get it out there".

Sorry, I am rather bummed out at the moment.

Robeau-

Sorry you were disappointed, since it sounded like you were pretty excited about it...not being a big horror film fan, I don&#39;t have anything to add. I just wanted to comment on your use of:

I thought my husband and I were the only ones using that phrase...BG fan, I assume? May the Lords of Kobol bless you.

Thanks for the consolation, Scarica. I like old school Battlestar Galactica, with the super- shiny Cylons. Where&#39;s Muffet the Daggit, fer cryin&#39; out loud? That poor chimpanzee, though.
