Am I making sense here?
Perfect sense. I feel ya'.

See? I get this all the time. :D

Of course, half the time even I don't know what I am talking about, but I like to think I fake it pretty well. ;)

Nope, that was a lie, I am every single bit as intelligent and wonderful as you think I am. And so modest too. :rolleyes:

OK, perhaps Jenna and I are just crazy, but can someone please give me some reasons why everyone likes Saw so much?!

I really need to know.

I thought that Saw was one of those movies that had some great potential, but the execution was very sub par.

I tried to take it seriously, but scenes like the one where Elwes was driving, and the camera work that it included where just extremely silly.

The acting was laughable, especially at the end when it got so melodramatic.

In a matter of a couple of minutes Elwes seemed to be turning into a zombie near the very end.

The "shocking" ending wasn't so shocking. It could have been, but I agree with jenna's assessment.

You can really tell that the movie was rushed. Some of you seem to use the short film schedule as an excuse, but I see that as a fault. If you can't make a good quality product in the alotted amount of time, then extend the time until you have what you need for a good movie.
