Is "Wicker Man" REALLY Horror? **Spoilers**

[macleod]

its probably more likely that cage yelled at the costume designer and this is his punishment.

The more I think about it...maybe cage getting axed was supposed to be the happy ending...

[sarcasm_made_Easy]

so ive finally seen this riff. 

DEAR GOD WHY

dont get me funny it was a good riff, but the movie itself was so freaken painful. 

[Tony Farms AKA Puma Man]

its probably more likely that cage yelled at the costume designer and this is his punishment.

The costume designer accidentally dropped some cigarette ashes on his outfit and Cage yelled at her:

"HOW'D IT GET BURNED?  HOW'DITGETBURNEDHOW'DITGETBURNED?!?!?"

[Goshzilla]

I totally missed that alternate ending. Who would have thought that the wiccans would send in their helen hunt look alike to get impregnated by another dope? Thanks for spoiling it....

[macleod]

Yeah, I think this move is way past its expiration date, no further spoilage could be possible

[Heysie]

Like I've said it wasnt really alternate, it was just an add on. It was six months later and that girl that looks like helen hunt and another girl were at a bar trying to hook up with some guys to get pregnant and start the whole bs over again. That's it, really alternate huh. Not to mention it was obvious that it was going to happen again and again...it was kind of their thing.

That was the alternate? I thought that was the regular.  That was the riffed version, wasn' t it?  Or did the riffing stop, but I didn't notice because the movie was so "shocking?"      So the "regular" ending is just Cage going up in flames in the lawn furniture burning man thing, and then the credits roll?

[macleod]

Yeah, it's just proof that everything this movie had to throw out was terrible...nothing could redeem the piece

[sarcasm_made_Easy]

well a hardcore unexplained sex scene with halle berry tyra banks and lucy lu in the middle of the movie might have helped.  i mean it wouldnt have made me complain or anything.   

[macleod]

haha....well, I'm sure that would have woken up at least some of the snoozing people in the theater (assuming anyone was actually in the theater to watch this thing)

But the more I think about it...someone had to die to appease the film gods for this horrible thing, looks like cage was the burnt offering

[macleod]

At least we got that out of the way....

...two weeks later and I'm STILL pissed off at this movie

Thanks for the succinct answers!   What a lame excuse for an alternative ending--I thought alternative meant *different*, like a spaceship zooms down and rescues Cage and the burning wicker thing falls on Sister Be-ach.

[macleod]

Well, in this case, that's as alternative as the director's creative vision would allow....

[BobEvil]

Ok, maybe this was answered earlier....but uh...why exactly did that whole....car crash happen at the beginning? I mean, it set him into his drug poppin' depression, but what other purpose was there? I'm serious....maybe I missed it between all the riffing...but it never seemed explained to me.

[macleod]

I never quite got that....but honestly, by then end of the movie I longed to be in that car...
