He even swears that he’ll buy a bicycle and become less fat. Kevin makes fun of Neil for his fear of scary movies, and Neil makes fun of Kevin for his acceptance of movies about shopaholics.

Correction: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake was good. =P

Kevin_Carr

What remake were you watching? TCM 2003 sucked donkey balls.

RobertFure

Jessica Biel + Tight white T-Shirt = Great.
Also, chainsawing people is kind of a turn on to me. And R. Lee Ermey is my hero.

Kevin_Carr

I'll give you the Jessica Biel in a tight white T-shirt. She looked awesome.

But I thought the original was so visceral and grisly with its explosive violence (like when Leatherface beat the guy in the hallway with the hammer) but didn't do the on-screen gore, it got ruined a bit with the on-screen chainsawing.

It was kinda like (but not nearly as pointless as) the remake of Psycho. The original movie was just so perfect for what it was.

Robert Fure

As a youngster, I wasn't blown away by the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I grew up with a different kind of film, so maybe its a little harder for me to appreciate it. I mean, I do like the movie. But like any film, when everyone tells you how gruesome and scary and great it is, it's not going to live up to the hype. I like seeing gore and all that.

As for the remake of Psycho, that was like the worst joke in all history. That deserves a hearty WTF.
