    I hated Book of Shadows.... "Let's make a sequel to this documentary style movie with Hollywood bullshit!" I hope they do much, much better. #blairwitch

    I liked Blair Witch. It had that whimsical ghost stories around the campfire feel that I liked. It probably worked better as a movie you watch by yourself at home in a darkened room though. I never saw it in theaters, but I can picture how after going to the trouble of actually going out and paying for tickets and popcorn it would just seem really pointless by the end.

    That being said, this sounds like an utterly stupid idea. #blairwitch

    The 'best' (and I use that word loosely) part of the whole movie was the end when the chick gets down to the basement, screaming her lungs out and you just see that dude standing in the corner with his back to her, not responding. The rest of it was a bunch of jiggly cam, snotty nose dripping crap.. #blairwitch

    @Jrsy Devil's Advocate®: Did you connect that last scene with one of the interviews in the beginning? Where the guy (or woman, I can't remember how it originated) made the kids face the corner while he was killing the other one? I thought it was a cool ending, too. #blairwitch

    If someone were to watch Blair Witch 1 for the first time now, and without sound, they'd probably just assume it was a couple of high school kids with a camcorder doing a version of Lord of the Rings. #blairwitch

    Do we get to see those fuckheads die on camera this time? I swear that was the one thing they could have done in the original movie that would have totally redeemed their characters. #blairwitch

    Oh cripes, this is so transparently tied into Paranormal Activity. It's exactly like the pathetic repackaging of the Anne Rice novels as if to say "we had romantic vampires before Stephenie Meyer!" #blairwitch

    @Wookie1972: How can you possibly infer that because a movie which cost about $16,000.00 made over sixty million dollars that this could possibly be about money??? Have you no soul? Do you have no appreciation for art? Can't you believe in the beauty of the human spirit, unleashed from the bonds of torpid banality by the gossamer wings of storytelling at its finest????

    Yup, neither can I. #blairwitch

    @joetato: When I saw Blair Witch, I immediately thought back to my classes in video production, in which the instructor said you would get an automatic F if you didn't use a tripod. It's understandable later, when they're scared out of their minds, but there's no excuse for the early scenes being done in shaky cam. #blairwitch

    @Wookie1972: The era of shaky cam has TRULY overstayed its welcome. I just saw a $49.99 steadycam at a computer store yesterday. Let's hope it goes away quietly and quickly (yeah, I'm one of those optomists who live in denial!) #blairwitch

    first: if they are pretending the terrible sequel to the mediocure over hyped movie never happened then why call it blair witch 3?

    second: that movie was so overhyped it was paranormal activity 1.o

    third: is this a horror movie site now too? cause i mean there is nothing sci-fi about losing a map and yourself in the woods with a lame 'time out' ghost.

    fourth: nostrils. quit it. #blairwitch

    Luthor's suit gets bigger every time it appears, yet never actually seems to be any more advanced-looking.

    Maybe Luthor's shrinking?
