Eh. Real life is horrible and undermines everything that way sometimes. Why shouldn't fiction?

Not that it wasn't horrific, just that it wasn't "bad" in the sense of bad writing. Unless you didn't mean it that way anyway. In which case yeah, I kinda agree, that was cruel.

Catching Fire's film adaptation was great. Not perfect, but nonetheless one of the best film adaptations of a book I've seen.

On the topic of Pacific Rim, I, too, really enjoyed it - and I don't see why people complain about the story all that much. It was a simple story and very effectivily told and I did like the twist on the Father dies and selfish son has to live up to it trope. On the otherhand, I'm not exactly well-versed in the mecha subgenre, so that might have something to do with it.

Saw Nightmare on Elm Street (the original film). While I don't want to offend any fans of the series, I have to say I didn't really enjoy it all that much.

I will agree that the dream sequences were all unnerving (although I was pretty grossed out by the whole bathroom scene - which felt ridicioliously unneccessary and Johnny Depp's character, in a waay too small shirt for him, getting taken by Freddy, had all sorts of creepy conotations), but the actual story built around it was fairly weak. "I had a bad dream and I needed you guys, there!" is something that no teenager girl has said to her friends. Ever. The logic of why Freddy could escape free from justice was laughingly laudable ("Someone forgot to sign something, and the mass murderer was free!" Uh, how?) and Sarah's confrontation of Freddy and her expletives just felt unneccessary and laughable. (Oh, and Sarah complaining that her Father, the chief of police, set her up when he followed his daughter to see if her friends boyfriend would contact her, when she had no other reason NOT to suspect him for murdering his girlfriend, was just plain awful)

I will admit that the last dream sequence was nicely played, but the entire film felt built around those dream sequences, rather then telling a solid and logical story. Did someone manage to come up with a really good sequel which secured or is it just one of the most overrated franchises ever?

I only just noticed all the locked character threads. That is hilarious.

My life is rather busy and I try to check the forum at least once or twice a day. Unfortunately, I can't always be sitting in front of my computer when this stuff happens.

Nightmare on Elm Street is partially classic because its very campy and cheesy. Same with the series with Jason.
