Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

The first Saw was good, but the series went downmountain (I felt the word downhill implied too gentle a slope) faster than Wile E. Coyote on roller skates with two tons of rockets strapped to himself.I'm curious as to how gore flicks (and to a lesser extent, video games) became so popular. There's absolutely no need to show the degree of violence and mutilation seen in Saw III.

I like the Saw series (especially 2) for the underlying theme: that humans' behaviour is the cause of their own destruction. I thought that came across best in Saw 2 with the cop, although it's present in all Saw movies that I've seen (I haven't seen 4).
I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.

Then you would be sorely mistaken! I don't mean gore flicks like these crappy new movies that happen to have lots of boring CGI gore, those are boring. Gore/horror/exploitation movies from the 70s and 80s are where it's at.
How far did my thread go off topic? Think we lost it right about here.QuoteI felt the word downhill implied too gentle a slope
The analogy I always use is, when you're talking to your friends, do you always demand that they stay on a specific topic, and complain if they start talking about something different?

As long as it's not heading in a nasty direction, I don't see why it matters. If you still have a question or something, zero, just reask it. I'm pretty sure I responded to you a page back or so.
I was trying to find a picture of what I was talking about but I somehow got a girl in a bikini. Go figure?http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&safe=active&q=Neo+getting+killed&btnG=Search+ImagesButs its the part of the movie where that metalic silver ?water? Is running up his body and he says "Its cold" and then it proceeds to go into his mouth and the next scene is him waking up in his tube, in the real world.
