Ida's comeuppance, or fate...SPOILERS


SPOILERS...was quite hilarious with her stockinged feet sticking up in the air after being buried head first by the other human vegetables. Vincent had a chainsaw fight with his brother and ending up getting buzzed through his waist, which is the most graphic part of the film's low gore quotient. While I loved Nancy Parsons as Ida, her death scene appears like a bit of a cop-out compared to Vincent, and while humorous, wouldn't she have deserved a more graphic fate than what we were shown?

The stocking feet in the air demise was hilarious, Rascal. I can't think of too many scenes with Ida that don't get a good laugh or two.

I know Vincent and Ida pretty much had to die, but I liked the both of them so much. Their brother-sister relationship was so cute, even touching at times.

Vincent: "What the hell is the matter with you?"

Ida: "I'm just hungry, that's all! ...say, could I slice off a piece of that?"  

Vincent: "No, damnit!"

Ida: "Allright."

(grrr, grrr, GRUNT!)

Ida: "I CAN'T HELP IT!"   

Vincent: "Well, go get something to eat, then, but make it snappy!"

Ida: "Oky, dokey! I'll be right back!" 

And what is Ida putting on her fried chicken? It's either barbeque sauce or ketchup or whipped cream.

Yes, in spite of their devious deeds, they were family and looked out for each other and that was a charming aspect. Even poor Bruce was devastated at Vincent's demise, even though he attacked him.

I think it was ketchup that Ida put on her drumstick. She sure does love her food.
