Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself

I'm a woman of neither wealth nor taste.

Name: Molly, but you can call me Susan if it makes you happy
Age: 21
Sex: Yes, please

My sanity is my own, it's not good for much, but I like it the way it is. As for personal interests, I enjoy most things found in the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror genres, basically anything that would deserve the label of "nerd" or "geek" and I'll be there. I also have an unhealthy love for crime dramas, especially Criminal Minds and anything involving serial killers, or the criminal psyche in general.

So I guess I'll be the creepy chick in the back of the room with a knife and an unsettling grin. Scream if you need anything.

Mission Accomplished +Saw VII Review

I had to drive all the way to Grove City but I've finally managed to see Saw in 2D! I'm exhausted as all get out but I'll try to make a review.

This is my first attempt at a movie review so bear with me. Also, bear in mind that I saw the 2D version so I may have lost some of the effect. Lastly, I've been a Saw fangirl from the start so there may be some annoying squeeing and quiet sobbing over this being the last installment in the franchise. Here we go:

WARNING: Spoilers ahead!

I went into the theater with high expectations, what with this being the end of an era, and I'm happy to say that, for this avid fan, the finale delivered. The traps were bigger, badder and bloodier than before.

The film opens with clips from the first ever Saw, to fill in any gaps for newbies, and then a quick addition showing Gordon outside the bathroom for the first time in 6 years. Then comes the first trap. For anyone not immersed in the Saw universe, let me enlighten you; The first trap begins it all. It sets the tone for the entire movie. From the looks of this first trap, we may just have the best Saw ever on our hands.

The table saw trap. This is Saw's first trap set outside making it that much more interesting to watch. This exhibition is also attended by on Billie, who is far and away the most likable character in the franchise. Without spoiling it for you, let me just say: The pay off of this scene is well worth it and had a few members of the audience cheering.

This is when we first see what's become of Jill and Hoffman. We also meet our new hero, Matt Gibson (played by Chad Donella of Final Destination fame.)

A few scenes later we meet Bobby Dagen. (Played by Sean Patrick Flannery of The Boondock Saints fame) Unfortunately, by the end of his first scene hubby and I had already figured out his twist. So when he's kidnapped outside an survivor's group therapy meeting, also attended by one Lawrence Gordon, I wasn't even bothered. (Also, it's pretty fun to pick out trap survivors from the meeting.) Although I must admit I was sucked into his storyline more than I expected.

This is also around the time that the second plotline, involving a trap in a junkyard, is introduced. Skipping over this to keep the review short, I must point out that the shots of the body bags being wheeled into the morgue clued me into that twist too. Maybe I just know the writers that well now ;P

So basically over the next 40 minutes or so Bobby goes through his tests without much success and finds himself at the end, in front of his wife who's chained to a strange metal platform. (What could this possibly be?) This is when Jigsaw confronts him with the same trap that he's allegedly survived once before. At this point Bobby pierces his pectorals with the hooks in front of him. Long story short (Too late.) He fails. Remember that platform Bobby's wife was on earlier? It's a collapsible incinerator. Yes you read that right. Bonus points for creativity. Lose points for recycling the use of incinerators.

After the end of Bobby's plotline is the payoff of the Jill/Hoffman/Gibson plotline. Jill is ultimately ended by the already familiar reverse bear trap. This time it's the real deal, Amanda's trap from Saw 1, not the remake used on Hoffman, because, as we all know, remakes suck. ;D

Finally, it's time to see what becomes of Hoffman. After blowing up the warehouse he'd been operating out of, Hoffman is taken down by three cloaked figures in the ever present Pig mask. One of the figures removes his borrowed pig face (which, for some reason, reminds me of Pavi from Repo! The Genetic Opera) and *gasp!* it's Dr. Gordon! (This really should have been expected, considering that Cary Elwes was billed as a star and had only appeared for about 3 whole minutes prior to this, but nonetheless I let out a shocked fangirly gasp and silently cheered that we were finally witnessing Gordon's revenge.) In the final scene Hoffman awakens in the now utterly familiar Bathroom set chained to a pipe next to Adam's rotted corpse. He reaches for a handsaw, feet away, knowing what he has to do, only to have it snatched away by Lawrence and flipped into the hall in a manner that probably would have looked awesome in 3D.

The last shot we're left with in the series is Dr. Lawrence Gordon giving us the final "game over", closing the door, mirroring the man who'd been dead on the floor for an hour and a half in the first film and was simply known as Jigsaw.

This is how the franchise ends. Still leaving questions in it's wake: What became of Gordon's wife and daughter?  What happened to Daniel from Saw II? What about Corbett from III? Or the two survivors from VI? And possibly the biggest question of all:

Who were the other two piggies?

Discuss!

Things I want to kill #1 - 3D Movies

You guys all know about the 3D movie trend lately, right? Did you also know that about 18% of people can't see 3D? Well, it's true. And guess who's in the 18%? That's right, me.

Anyone who knows me knows I love the Saw movies.
Anyone who's been watching TV in the last month knows Saw VII is a 3D exclusive release.
Now anyone with a brain can figure out that Saw + 3D only = Charlie making this face:

Hollywood, I'm making a plea to you. Please keep in mind that some people can't see 3D.
I know it's a small percent but still. We don't like getting headaches because some dickhead decided the last movie in their favorite series HAS to be in 3D and there's no other way to see it. Shove those 3D glasses up your ass and make some damn 2D showings for fuck's sake!



Basically this post was just me bitching. It is the first but will certainly not be the last. You've been warned. -_-

Science Fiction…Single Feature

Moi :D.
(this is me keeping with the theme. I'm a team player.)

And there goes pretty much the extent of what I learned via three years of French class in high school.

I’m one of many names and little sanity. You can call me Laura, Impy, Imperial, Impala, both or neither, St. Patrick (I swear I’m not holy…or am I? Wow, I totally just blasphemed….moving on.). I will not answer to L Dog, just so you know.

Age: 19, youngest of four...
Sex: that‘s kinda persona-…oh wait, female
Occupation: being awesome

I’m not telling you anything else, you might be creepy people!

Anyway; I love Supernatural, Star Wars (I made my own Lightsaber, only true Jedi can do that), Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, etc.

No, not Twilight. I’m reformed! I’ve been sober for 2 years…I now understand how truly wrong and disturbed I was in my younger days.

Ummmm…I’m wearing black socks…I got a 1750 on the new SATs…WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!?!?!?!

Oh, I’m going to a Rocky Horror showing on Halloween! YAY!

Come up to the lab, See what's on the slab

I've been sitting here for like 5 minutes trying to think of a clever title. ^^^^ That's the best I got.


Basically this is me saying hi.
