Re: Movie TR: 1408 (worst movie of my life)
Speaking of rottentomatoes.com, this movie was given a 75% rating of freshness. Since it got a pretty high rating and was based on a Steven King short story, I decided to check it out.
It was worse than I had hoped, given the rating, but it wasn't as bad as you're making it out to be. The obvious "fake ending" which you somehow fell for wasn't a trifle plot twist but an actual plot point. It's purpose was to show the viewer that the room was willing to play dirty. You'll never know if you're safe from it. I got the feeling the actual ending was trying to produce this feeling of uncertainty (kind of like Chase with the Sopranos). Unfortuntely, it came all came up a little short in this movie. Furthermore, the original fake ending had an aura much like a false awakening, a theme that's been explored by several Steven King stories. Anyways, while the movie was definitely lackluster, and IMO not worth the semi-high rating on rottentomatoes, I didn't think it was all that bad and surely better than most of the crappy movies that make up the horror genre.

That's a GREAT mentality for a double date.
Walk in and complain about how things SUCK... over and over again. That's a great strategy.

Re: Movie TR: 1408 (worst movie of my life)
I was never planning on seeing this because the short story was very meh, IMO.
In related, probably disappointing news, check out the casting for The Mist. Andre Braugher as Norton? Marcia Gay Harden as Mrs. Carmody? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
