Just saw it on the big screen


I live in Nashville, and there's a small theater here that gets all the limited release movies and stuff. Every Friday and Saturday night at midnight, they play a classic horror/cult flick. They did The Evil Dead a couple months ago, they're doing David Lynch's Lost Highway next weekend, and Silence Of The Lambs the weekend after that. Anyways, this weekend was Pieces. I had never seen it before, but I had heard about it, because it's supposedly Eli Roth's favorite movie (I saw his 'five favorite movies' thing on Rottentomatoes). I got to see it in a packed theater, and they even had the whole Grindhouse 'Our Prevues' thing, and they played the trailers for Lost Highway and Silence Of The Lambs.

It was funny, because before the Silence trailer played, a thing came up saying, 'Just in time for Valentines Day, we present you an iconic movie that won all five major Academy Awards', I guess trying to get everyone thinking about 'It Happened One Night'. Then the trailer played, and when Hannibal Lecter's face flashed at the beginning, everyone started cheering.

They did the 'Grindhouse Releasing' title card thing, and then went into the flick. It wasn't one of those times where everyone is all quiet in the theater, it was pretty much everyone laughing together and yelling *beep* Here's some of the things that were yelled (that I can remember)...

At the beginning, when the abusive mom asks the kid to get her a plastic bag, and he comes back with an axe - "Hey! Thats not a plastic bag!"

When the girl is skateboarding, and the two guys are carrying the giant mirror out of the truck, right in front of the sidewalk (before she runs into it) - "I don't know what's gonna happen!"

When the guy gets up and is looking out his window naked, and you get a clear shot of his dick - "This should be called Piece!!"

When the killer is piecing together the naked girl puzzle, and he keeps fumbling with the pieces - "God damn that must be a hard one!"

After it ended - "Let's see Michael Bay remake that *beep*


And the scene where the undercover tennis girl is yelling "BASTARDDDDDD! BASTARD!!!! BASTARD!!!!" everyone was practically rolling on the floor laughing. It was awesome, definately one of the best theater experiences I've ever had, haha.

Being dead is the closest Gary Coleman will ever get to six feet.
