The Big News...

.
... this morning is of course the fact that Paranormal Activity kicked Saw VI's arse in the box-office this weekend. In about half as many theaters PA made 22 million compared to Saw's 14 mill. I've stated often enough that I try not to put too much stock in what the box office is so I don't want to oversell this, but at the same time I do want to do a little dance on the terrible Saw franchise's at least temporary defeat... la la la! Ha ha ha! Okay that's outta my system. I've just been so annoyed at Saw's Halloween-time dominance for the past several years that it makes me happy to see a different horror film not only take the chance but seize it by the balls and win.

So naturally now Paramount's talking about making a sequel for Paranormal Activity. This right here, that's a horse. And this is the stick with which it is always beaten to death. Beat it, Paramount! Beat it good! Sigh.

I saw Paranormal Activity. Big waste of time. Think Blair Witch lite. It followed a formula

Sorry, but I hated Paranormal Activity. It was boring and not scary at all. Not to mention the cheesiest "you know it came from Hollywood" ending.

I wish I'd put the money toward my Trick 'r Trick DVD.
