So, whaddya think?

yeah it seemed to not be a wickerman anyways  did you see how cage entered it?

Maybe it was a Wicker Hermaphrodite?

Forgive me if this was brought up already but I finally had time to watch this one with the trax last night and I didn't read though the entire thread.  Did I miss a braveheart reference or did they really not make one during the final scene.  Summerisle's makeup matched mels perfectly and I thought it was a sure thing when I watched the movie ahead of time.  I consider it a missed opportunity.  Still a great trax though.

There's a quick reference, but I'm still surprised that it wasn't used more.  It seemed like a potential gold mine.

I thought they could've made some nice football references too--you know how people at football games paint their faces like that. Summersile could have been from Raider Nation or whatever.

funny, I think mike skipped that one simply because it was so obvious. I thought the same thing though. I was yelling in my head FREEDOM!!!!

[Hellcat]

This movie made me angry.  I liked the original, and this remake had absolutely nothing to offer.  What was the deal with the helmet full of bees?  Were they trying for a 1984-type of torture?  The story was incredibly stupid, with no surprises at all.  Cage was the missing girl's father?  Wow, didn't see that coming.  Cage's character was so clueless, I found myself wondering how he managed to graduate from any police academy.  I didn't like him at all.  Also, I don't like movies where men punch women in the face or kick them across a room. 

This movie was ripe for riffing, and I thought that Mike and Kevin did a decent job.  I thought they overdid the "suit vs. sport coat and slacks" running gag, but that was my only quibble.  Some of the riffs I really liked:

"We had the eunuch wash your underthings."
"I'm having a Men Without Hats flashback!"
"Come see the Wicker Man at Patio Furniture Warehouse!"
"I'm afraid Betsy may never wetsy again."

[Cosmic Muse]

Just because of how hilarious this movie is with or without the Riifs, I'm considering purchasing it it somewhere, hopefully in the Wal-Mart $5 bin.

Here's a line from a review for the new horror dud The Reaping:

"The only way The Reaping could be worse would be if Swank put on a bear suit and ran through the woods."

  Nice. Who wrote that?

This movie DOES answer one question I've been pondering for a long time:

Apparently, Nicolas Cage in a bear suit DOES think, "Oh, shit!" in the woods.

That reminds me of a line I came up with when the stinker The Covenant was released:

If Renny Harlin makes a movie, and no one shows up to dislike it, does it still suck?

I think the original creators of "The Wicker Man" neglected to forsee the eventuality of feminism completely removing the context-sensitive, gender-neutral form of the word 'man' that is currently present in every language I have ever studied other than English.  This, however, makes the decision to make Summersisle a colony of people who spell woman 'womyn' make even less sense.

The Wicker Man is really supposed to be a "man".  It's a very old tradtion.  You burn a male effigy to represent the sacrifice of the Male aspect of Divinity who gives His life for His people's survival.  Stuff like that...
