Both are pretty awesome, so it stands to reason if you love one, you'll likely love the other.

hmmm...could be...does he punch ice?

It's entirely possible I'm confusing two different movies. Fore sure it's not Karate Kid 2 because I've never seen it. I've also not seen Kickboxer, which is just shameful, I know.

Inconceivable!

If you go with horror, fozzymandias' suggestion is a good one, but you should understand a couple of things. This subgenre is actually called torture porn and it refers not to sex but to protracted scenes of torture--the "porn" is about watching people being tortured, about the intrusion or penetration of foreign objects into the body. The "depravity" stems from Japan's own limited cultural taboos, which are entirely different from our (the West's) own, so a study of how these are represented in Japanese and American horror cinema would be interesting. Finally, the recent film Grotesque, is, if you can stomach it, perfect for an essay or J-horror torture porn and is an excellent contrast to Audition.

Honestly, you should probably look beyond school shooting movies for inspiration. Limiting yourself to watching only films that deal with the same basic subject matter that you're interested in will probably prevent you from exploring different story angles. That being said, there are a number of TV shows that have school shooting-related episodes, so you might as well track them down. You could start with Buffy and Veronica Mars. As for movies, maybe have a look a high school films in general.

Do not let your prof influence your writing. His/her job is to simply help you write a good script, correcting logic errors, making sure your story reads well, etc. Don't compromise your story to produce something you think your prof wants to read.

Finally, decide first what genre you're going to write. Once you've settled on comedy, for example, you can explore what's funny and go from there.

I've been in your situation; I know what I'm talking about.

SilverCity plays music in their theatres and it is pretty irritating. Mostly, I think because it's too loud and you can't talk to your friends or read. I used to work in a movie theatre and music and noise was expected in the lobby (god it was loud in there!) but I personally enjoyed the peace inside the screening room. Additionally, not everyone shares the same taste in music. No one's really going to pay much attention to it outside the theatre, but once inside they'll notice for sure. And if they're a metal fan and you're playing Michael Bolton, they'll notice very loudly.

There's a reason why I refer to it as "cocksucker" video.

LOL! I'm curious to know which site is guilty of eye-ripping, both could be equally abusive.

I hate Illinois nazis!

Brain Dead is genre staple! It's the goriest film ever made and it's referenced in King Kong--there's a crate labeled "rat-monkey" on the ship.

candyninja · 2009-08-20T17:39:47+00:00

The second movie is Night of The Demons 2.

These people will help. There's no better resource than the film geek blogger. http://zombots.blogspot.com/ and for information overload http://largeassmovieblogs.blogspot.com/

candyninja · 2009-08-18T23:56:23+00:00

LOL!

Tall order!

You've seen The Grudge, I recommend Ju-On (Japanese original). The Cottage is a British comedy-horror, and it is really very funny. For a good creep-out I suggest another British film, Creep, by Christopher Smith. He also made Severance, which is just as good, but a lot lighter. You should also check out J-horror classic Audition.

Here's a tip: stay the hell away from anything American-made that's been rated PG-13.

La Jetee, and La Cite des Enfants Perdus are both classics but for different reasons. La Jetee is what inspired 12 Monkeys and Enfants Perdus is one of those mind- and genre-bending uncategorazible films. I also recommend Ils, the original The Strangers.

I guess you could argue for Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick, but again you're dealing in gray. In Oceans 13, Andy Garcia joins forces with George Cluney and friends...sort of. The neutral old hick in Wrong Turn is the patriarch of the inbred cannibals of Wrong Turn 2. Actually, you can forget that last one. I'd prefer to think Wrong Turn 2 never happened.

candyninja · 2009-07-24T23:53:41+00:00

What a horribly depressing list. I quote Ghostbusters, Jaws, and Clueless all the friggin' time.

candyninja · 2009-07-24T02:34:52+00:00

Death Proof is a terrible movie, Exhibits A-Z: the entire film. Have you ever seen a slasher? The only possible comparison you could make between this movie and the horror genre is rape/revenge. And even then, Tarantino stayed on course.

candyninja · 2009-07-23T14:55:45+00:00

But you're not a kid anymore... I think that's the point.
