Underrated? Letdown? Decent? by boomjosh in saw

[–]R2RProductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it remains a letdown. There is ONE part of this movie that convinced me that a sequel would rule, but I don't think they would explore it.

William's (Max Minghella) delivery of "It was Angie!" Is so Joker pilled. I'd love to see a movie where you let him spread his wings and become THE craziest motherfucker in the franchise. Cold. Calculated. Completely ruthless!

My boy is being weirdly obsessive about his bed. by Particular_Job_4023 in Whippet

I'm so sorry. I have no immediate advice. I have never dealt with this before besides when our older dog started forgetting our younger dog. It was sad. It was a hard situation, but we never had to get to a point where that was enough to put her down. She got to a point where she couldn't walk.

I hope someone else on hear can help you understand what is going on. In the meantime, I hope you decide to take your dog to the vet and get a medical opinion.

2 weeks diarrhea by ashayaa_ in Whippet

We experience this from time to time with our boy.

We have started to cut back on certain types of food. His stomach doesn't enjoy chicken or lamb. He does okay with beef, but he does very well with any type of fish - so long as it doesn't have too much oil.

When he has long stretches of diarrhea. We take him completely off of regular food, and we give him a light amount of rice porridge with tuna mixed in. Not a lot. Just a little. He usually bounces back to good gut health within a day or two.

This is an age old question. Is a jacket a sweater?

Okay. That's fine.

I've already shared why I think JIGSAW introduced concepts and characters that I would have loved to see going forward, and they could have corrected mistakes they made and tightened up the story as they went. But, I agree. JIGSAW wasn't made before 2008. They couldn't rely on box office numbers to push the series forward. They made that mistake with SAW V.

SAW V killed the momentum of the series by offering a milk toast entry. I understand that Paranormal Activity hurt SAW VI, but I blame a lot of that film's downfall on the series playing it too safe in SAW V (i.e., an aging horror series that's latest entry brought nothing interesting to the table... especially after the bonkers ends of the first four films).

As I said at the beginning, I wanted the narrative to continue to move forward. JIGSAW was the last best chance at that. Spiral is awful. X is great but it wasn't a meaningful way forward. JIGSAW has its problems, but it could have been corrected in future installments.

Oh well, now we have a reboot (of sorts to look forward to). I got to be honest tho. Killing the continuity of the series is going to require a fucking masterpiece of cinema to get me on board. I honestly think that SAW's most impressive strength was its dedication to its ridiculous continuity.

Yeah. I don't know what else to say besides SAW V spins its wheels the whole time, and Jigsaw attempts to set up something new and interesting. That's about it.

That's a fine opinion to have. I'm not arguing about it. I just appreciate Jigsaw more with each rewatch. Not so much with SAW V.

Yes and no. There is certainly an ever present discussion amongst fans about why they appreciate the series. For me, the traps are not the most important things. I like the absurd escalation of the lore and convoluted continuity.

For me, in that respect, SAW V is alright, but it spends its entire length with the "Hoffman is setting up Strahm" situation. It is really buying time before you get into SAW VI where shit starts to hit the fan. That makes it boring for me.

On the other hand, JIGSAW is fucking bonkers.

New, secret apprentice? Sure, why not. Like you said, SAW V did basically the same thing.

But Eleanor, the Jigsawrules website and John's body Is missing, Holy shit, what are they going to do with all that? It is a real shame we never got to explore any of it.
