I saw it Friday.
It was a breath of fresh air. It relied more on actual horror and suspense, not gore. (I'm not talking M Night suspense either):haha: The best part is how the killers have no motive, as i'm sure you guys have noticed in the previews where they just say, "because you were home." That's their motive, which makes these guys so much scarier.
Let me tell you, i have never heard a theater jump and scream like this before. This is the way horror should have been the past decade.
A little more gore wouldn't have hurt it at all, but it was nice to see a film that tried really to underplay the gore, but still remain such a creepy movie.
Are there two versions of this film in existence?:haha:
Not only was I not scared, the whole theater was comatose. I could have stole everyones purses and wallets and nobody would have known.
The fact they had no motive didn't make it scary to me. Now give those killers a bit of personality, and we've potentially got ourselves a damn good flick in the making. There was no point in each killer having their own unique mask if the film makers don't take advantage of it.
The "because you were home" line isn't effective at all because its one of the only things said by the killers.
As I mentioned in my spoiler,
Hidden Text:, the film stops being believable.
Well... looking back on it now, i couldn't really tell you much about the movie, so i guess it wasn't as good as i thought.
Another problem would be that my girlfriend was sick through most of it so i missed some of it, probably missed the really bad parts.
Thinking back on it, nothing happened in this fucking movie. I guess i was going more off of audience reaction.

For anyone using the reason that it can't be Prostitute because of the length of the song (myself included), that is pretty much falsified IMO.
If you play the song up until Axl starts singing, it clocks in right around the time that fits the description of it. The outro is what takes it past the 5 and 6 minute marks.
Fuck... all the facts point to this being Prositute.

It's interesting that so many people seem to feel that way.
I'm no nutswinger, given I'm a huge fan of the old band and all that, but I'm really quite satisified with the overall quality of the songs i've heard.
I don't think the album is bad and I actually love I.R.S./T.W.A.T./The Blues/Chinese Democracy and Riyadh. My statement was geared more toward the hype that Prostitute would basically be the end all song from the album. The album isn't monumental but it is good, a rocker that warranted the hype of Prostitute could make a good album better and I have always believed (hoped against hope perhaps) that "the best was yet to come".
We have all probably been waiting for the best unrealistically. With people wanting Prostitute to be the best song on the album, it created that mentality in the fan base.
But how do most bands operate? If they have really strong material, they play it live to see how the fans like it. When a band is coming out with a new album, they will play the stronger songs off of their album before it's released. That's not to say there's not stronger songs than what we've heard on the album still, i just don't see them being these huge rock songs. They will most likely be ballads. Bands usually play their strongest rock songs live. That would mean, Better, IRS, Rhiad, and Chinese Democracy.
If this is indeed Prostitute, 'the best' is not yet to come. We will get a great album, but nothing 'mind blowing.'

#2158 Re: Guns N' Roses » Song #2 (Unknown Title) » 957 weeks ago
I would just like to say that this song has grown on me.
Take out the first line, and the lyrics are actually pretty good. They aren't horribly cliched like i thought at first. I thought some of the lines were different when i first heard it. Like i thought that "I told you, when i found you" was actually "I told you, I love you". The actual lyric there makes the song quite a bit better and a lot less cliched.
Plus, the band is pretty damn good on this track as well. Axl's vocals stand out. Even though they are pretty clean, they are increadibly strong.
These lyrics are well written. Some of these lines in there just really make me think. An example is the line, "What would you do if i had to deny your name?" So weird to hear a line like that in a 'love' song like this.
I will go as far as to say that this song could be Prositute.
Whoever said it will "kill you on the first listen" is completley wrong however.

I saw the one where the Joker is say that he has simple tastes, that he enjoys dynomite and gun powder. Fucking amazing.
I guess it would be tv spot 13.
