This isn't a bad film.

The supermarket scene is way longer almost 2 minutes and watching it from a distance from my bed, I didn't even understand what was going on... :)

Ok, you took the time to reply, so I will review the parts I discussed.

Ok, so, for the nosebleed scene, it was the daughter's first communion.

Ok, I was wrong. I swear he had a nosebleed, but watching it again, no, he didn't. However, he put his arm around the mom. He bagan coughing. BAD. Could barely talk. The whole point there was to try and act like the fact she had the antichrist inside of her was affecting him. Start around 48:49 and watch. It was deliberately trying to say "THIS MAN IS A MAN OF GOD, AND HE SENSES SATAN". Now, if you skip to 1:21:06, I have no confirmation yet, but I believe that is the same man.

Just because you didn't get what I am saying, means you should write it off.

What I meant is, watch "The Omen". The devil (or antichrist, whatever) is born. They kill people in ways that people aren't drawing attention to the child. She (stole) first of all, by eating it without paying. And people aren't questioning? No one stopped her? She suddenly became herself and didn't question eating raw meat in a store? Cause that is NEVER mentioned again. Either she was in control of herself, or she wasn't. If she was, she is *beep* insane. If she wasn't, but woke up to avoid cops, she would wonder and do some investigating herself. Even if the baby made her, she isn't under some SPELL the entire time, she gets lucid periods. Like when the cops should have been called.

You are right. Someone outside needs to follow them. So sit in a car. Or do you really think when they walk outside and suddenly see people standing by a tree, that they should walk into their backyard? Seriously? I am no master of stealth, but jesus. That is an ass backwards plan. I would at least try to hide. Watch it again. Because they didn't. They were right in the open. In fact, all that would do is make them ensure their security and situational awareness is even BETTER.

The symbols seemed to be the power, not who carved them. I recall seeing symbols in the house the hubby snuck into. Also, the little girl totally would have told someone either why she screamed, or just spilled the beans. And the hubby NEVER enters the room and saw the carvings? NO questions?

I find it insulting that you call my objections "lack of catching on or paying attention". You agreed completely on one point, and didn't understand another.

DISREGARD. THE PRIEST TOTALLY HAD A NOSEBLEED. Who isn't paying attention now? Watch the WHOLE first communion again. He had a total fit (the message was saying) IN THE PRESENCE OF THE DEVIL.

Please, tell me how I am not catching on, or paying attention. I already brought this up, and you didn't even care to watch it. At least I am scrolling through it to back myself up.

It IS a lot of vitriol, you are correct there. It drives me nuts when plots/movies are so sloppily thought out, and irks me further when people are duped into having to grasp at straws to defend the film because they begin to see how sloppy it is, as the other person who responded to me had to do. This was nothing, as far as responding to a movie. The 4th Kind and Quarantine reviews were scrapped once they hit 3 pages.

Nope, it doesn't take a lot of time to catch stuff that pisses you off during a movie viewing. It takes an hour and a half (or whatever the movie length is). It is as simple as:

(Scene with couple in taxi)
Dude: Yo, take us to our hotel.
Driver: No. There is a better place. No charge.
Me: Wtf? And they are just all, "oh, ok". That's *beep* dumb. Darwin Award winners, right here.

Literally as the scene plays, one can think this stuff. And yes, something about this movie got to me, alright, it is *beep* like that that is not realistic, or just not explained (like the wife eating raw meat in a crowded place, staining herself with blood, getting away without anyone noticing or asking questions, not asking questions HERSELF (it happens to us all, sometimes, you know?), etc)

You are correct, it IS a broad genre. Typically, cult/religious movies don't scare me at all. However, I want to point out that I never once criticized a moment of the film for not being "scary enough" but rather about the multitudes of things that make no sense. I think we can both agree that different people are scared by different things. Again, though, knowing that satanic cults are not my "thing" I chose not to address whether or not I thought the movie was SCARY.

You are also correct in that this is hardly the worst one. There ARE far worse out there. I stumbled upon the message boards, and saw that someone had said that the film was not *beep* and I shared my two cents on why I thought it was.

Profanity laden? Absolutely, I swear like a sailor. It sounds angrier than it is, just, well, laden with them, as you said. Also, I may have been drunk when writing it. It is almost a year later, at this point, I cant remember. However, I am going to have to challenge you on your diagnosis, doc, as Wikipedia says Bipolar is: "Bipolar disorder is characterized by transitions between depression and mania." I assume you said it because I seemed really angry, but according to the definition, it can also apply to abnormally happy and abnormally energetic. In fact, like with WebMD, looking at all the symptoms, I think I could TECHNICALLY diagnose a majority of people. But seeing as how there was no hint of depression in my post, and looking over Mania's definition and characteristics, that cannot be determined by reading an angry post (especially with no prior relationship with the person), so I feel like you threw that in there just as a freebie little jab.

We can go into the itty bitty details of these illnesses, but let's focus on Ramparts, people. Is there anything I brought up about the movie that you would care to refute, clarify, or debate? Because otherwise, aside from your diagnosis and the idea that I lay awake at night obsessing over this movie when those thoughts came to me while watching it, I think we are pretty much in agreement.
