you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

good movie, very well done.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

i'm desperate to see this movie. 
18A only means that you need someone above the age of 18 to be with you. You don't necessarily need to be 18.

it got crappy reviews from chart magazine:
"Stilted, puerile writing marks Saw for the crap pile"
"With unintentionally campy flashbacks (“Now I remember how I got here”), hilarious emotional outbursts (“My family neeeeeeds me!”) and just plain stupidity, Saw has the appearance of wanting to be intelligent, but falling short"
"Imagine you came up with a reasonable interesting plotline. You started writing it. But whenever you had to fill in dialogue, you snagged some 12-year-old kid off the street and told him to fill in the blanks."
"Cliché, awkward and completely bad, bad, bad."
"In fact, despite Saw’s last 30 seconds (which are unexpectedly kind of interesting), the movie moves into this weird campy emotional outburst between the two main characters. The next thing you know, the audience is howling and laughing hysterically. Now, perhaps the film is reaching its stride as being a sort of self-reflexive parody, but Saw truly gives the impression of taking itself seriously.
All said, the film is a sad disappointment for those expecting some creepy-ass psycho thriller.
The good news is, it’s the best laugh I’ve had in ages."

the only thing that does is prove that reviews = absolutely nothing.
oh man, seeing this thread reminded me that i have to see this again. now i want to see it with people who haven't seen it, no i'm not one of those people who tells them what happens, but it's so much fun to see peoples reactions to moves that you love.

The acting was bad. But you're supposed to expect that in a movie that was made for only 1 million dollars. I mean Danny Glover's pay would usually be higher than that alone.
As for the people laughing, there were people laughing in our theatre too, but at the cheesy acting at some parts.
The reason people laughed at her cutting through the guys stomach, is because she has a surgical scalpel, but what does she do? She doesn't make one big incision, instead she stabs him like millions of times in different places... Which didn't make a whole lot of sense. It wasn't really funny, but more like WTF!? Which I think the people reacted to, because it was obviously gross.
Also, this movie really isn't that gory. It had like 2-3 actual gory parts. The other parts were implied. It just plays on what you'd find gross for most parts and lets you picture what happened.

hee hee hee (giggling like a school girl, or a school boy in a school girl's uniform)
I replied to a fictional person!! Wait a second... How can someone who's not real, see a movie!?!? :O I'm scared! Hold me closer Ned, it's gettin' dark.
It's like Artificial Intelligence and maybe even my stuffed animals (Smurfs and Carebears mostly... Oh yeah and Garfield) Can all see movies too now!!! I'd pee my pantalons if I was sitting next to a Tickle Me Elmo in a movie theatre!
