I'm watching Blair Witch Project and getting motion sickness.
These two people are running around screaming "JOSH!" and the camera is showing me a bunch of leaves. WTF?

1. I just watched that movie the other night.
What a rip off the movie was.

To think I stood in a line to see it.

3. I just saw the shot of the girl.....REALLY close up.
She should have tweezed those nose hairs a bit better.

2. I liked it.
It was serindipidiously good....the fact that it had such a small budget made it a lot better than had it been given a multimillion dollar budget with snazzy special effects.

I never understood the people who claimed to get motion sickness. I still think that is not physically possible.

5. I think its an excellent movie
Remember its SUPPOSED to really be a college students home video for a documentary. I well remember the pre-marketing buzz about this movie, there were a lot of people who really thought it was real..so much so that Burkettsville, MD, a real town not far from me, got a HUGE upsurge of tourists..many of whom were wanting to know about the "Blair Witch" (its not a local myth although it seems like one)

6. I think it was a great movie until they decided to sequelize it
That was the beginning of the end for it. But it was on Showtime last week and I watched about 20 minutes of it and realized just how terrified I was after watching the movie. To me the most frightening thing was there was something out there and who knows what it was. Non-entities scare me more than mean nasties you can actually see in the movie.

9. that's what killed Dreamcatcher
Dreamcatcher could've been an awsome movie ... until they decided to show the obviously CGI aliens. If they had kept the movie about a group of friends terrorized by an unseen force that was so big it attracted the military and it was after them, it would've been great. But then they decided to show us the creature / aliens early into the movie.

11. There we go, Turtlensue!
While your taste in sports teams leaves much to be desired, your taste in movies is spot on.

12. LOL! I think I knew that.
Even though that's probably the only thing I knew about this flick.

13. We made The Claire Witch Project the sequel *pics*
My 3 sisters made a sequel movie with even more professional camerawork
I was Heather - in tent with vaseline face tears.

Oh some skeery things went on in our movie:rofl:

'I don't know if I'll get out of here alive"



"I know where we are, I've got the map'


Oh my god..whats out there??!




that was the perfect movie to do a spoof of.


:rofl:

15. Your movie was a lot better.
I got my money back on Blair Witch.

Everybody was yelling at the screen "This movie sucks", and that was one of the nice things that was said.

16. I played Heather in a Blair Witch themed family video.
My grandfather always turns his camcorder over to my cousins and I during the holidays. We always pick a theme and the Christmas after it came out we did a Blair Witch Project theme and dedicated it to my cousin Josh who lived out of state.

I understand it wasn't suppose to be a triumph in cinematography but the only reason I watched it to the end was because when I realized how bad it was I was entitled to watch them die.

One of the worst dates I've ever been on was with somebody who tried to argue with me that it was real. I even told him I had seen the person who played Heather on Leno and he asked when they were found :eyes:.
