Did you hear that there is another sequel on the way for the SAW series? *giggles* I got myself caught up.

There's gonna be another movie after Saw: Legacy/Jigsaw?
Nice! What's it gonna be called and is it supposed to be out for Halloween This year or next?

Also, Thanks for actually responding to my journal. Was beginning to think I wasn't going to get any response yet again...
Feel free to ask me more things if you reply.

We don't know yet, but it has been confirmed.

Sorry if I was surly about not being able to see Jigsaw earlier. I was really miffed because my town's theater yanked it before it could be watched.

What is your opinion about Logan in the film?

Wait, wha? Logan? OH. Looked it up, totally forgot the guy's name was Logan Nelson.
Thought you were changing the subject to be about the mutant from the X-Men series.

I didn't find him as interesting a character as those from the previous Saw films...
Jigsaw was rather much a letdown... could have been much better.

Me, I think that was a good film. The only thing I'm half-and-half on is the fact that they tried to make it more open (with outside shots). I loved the boxed in feeling the other films gave, but the rest was great. I freaked out when I saw John Kramer (Tobin Bell), at first wondering how in the world he was still alive, but I calmed down and soon learned that it was just a flashback. I loved every single minute, and I think it deserved the 102.9 million budget bring back.

Wasn't sure you'd seen it yet, so was trying to avoid spoilers.
the game participants seemed more dumb than usual.
I too was surprised at John's appearance and briefly considered that he somehow wasn't dead.
I guess I never thought about it, but you're right, the Saw movies were usually claustrophobic and have very little wide-open, outdoors scenes.

Also, didn't fall for that twist in the slightest. I was like, why didn't his (Logan's) head split open like a flower?

Logan's lasers were like the ones you use to play with a cat (harmless). He planned to fake his death so he could out-gambit Halloran. That's the way I see it. And I don't think the game's participants were dumb at all (okay, maybe Ryan with Carly, but that was just for one trap). Yes, I had to pause the movie so my brain could calm down at seeing John. When it was revealed to be a flashback, I recalibrated my senses. And I got false-scared (where a Jump Scare is more mundane, yet you jump anyway) a couple times (Woman chaining her bike, Logan waking up from a nightmare).

Okay, I still need to pick up the movie on DVD/BluRay... I only saw it in the theatre.

Ignoring the blood sacrifice to the sawblades bit, the petty thief couldn't bother to speak up about the correct needle to save her life when she clearly figured out which one would save her.
The motorcyle was stopped long enough that the guy should have been able to reach the break handle to stop his trap.
That she thought that John wanted her to murder the guy with the shotgun after he pretty much was just shaming her for killing her baby and causing her husband's death.

I thought that Logan's faked death was so fake that I wasn't fooled. they could have done a better job by obscuring his faked death (though then we'd be wondering why they were hiding the death when the series is known for showing the gruesome deaths)

Speaking of those lasers, what year is the "present day" stuff supposed to take place in with deadly laser scalpels exist.

Hard to say. It could be 2017 or 2003. Besides, the timeline's really ambiguous about what year the films take place. All it does is like fuzzy time the thing (six months ago, "John Kramer has been dead for ten years," etc.).

That's why I'm saying that "present day" must be in the future, those lasers don't seem to be something that exists yet...
Also, you bring up a good point, can we get something that puts the events of all the movies into a chronological order?
Half of Jigsaw takes place almost at the very start of the timeline, Saw II's scene of John explaining his origin taking place before that, and the stuff with Cecil being about the only scenes I can fathom happened before the barn stuff.
And of course there have been supercuts of Saw III & IV combined, since they happen simultaneously (seriously, when has this ever happened before? that was SO crazy!)

How did you like Pacific Rim 2 compared to the first one?

Well I haven't seen the original PR since I saw it in the theatre.
I enjoyed botb quite a lot.
Other than a few small things (and having wished I'd seen it a week ago so I'd have seen Ready Player One instead, as well that I wished I was wearing my Pacific Rim shirt that my friend  Azikira designed)

I certainly liked it more than all the reviews I watched of it the other day...
(Still need to watch Cinema Snob's video on it)
I thought that they were heavily inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion.

You liked both quite a lot?

I think if I recall the Midnight Screenings review, they liked something like the first 3/4 of the movie, but felt it fell apart in the final act. Haven't seen it and can't remember their review, so don't remember what disappointed them, have to see it again.

I'm currently watching their review, so far they haven't been bashing or complaining about it like others have been...
I like the type of story/action that these movies have.
The mix of eastern and western tropes is cool.
Plus the voice of GLaDOS/Turrets from Portal as the voice of Gipsy's AI is just freakin' sweet.

That's really cool they got Glados voice actress for a part. Guess she has to do something while waiting for Valve to make a third game in... any of their series

Sounds like Ready Player One is next on your list, what's after that? Rampage?

Yeah, the original movie had her voice prominantly featured.
So I was quite glad... to have her voice return.

And you are correct sir. Looking forward to both. (also, there was an add for both Rampage AND Skyscraper back-to-back before the movie)
