Have any of you seen Red State?

It's the newest Kevin Smith movie.

We watched it last night and I need someone to discuss it with.

It was so fucking crazy that H and I both had multiple bad dreams last night.

For anyone who doesn't know, here is the IMDB page on it: www.imdb.com/title/tt0873886/

I thought you were talking about the blog. I have, unfortunately, seen that.

I'm reading the IMDB and it honestly sounds pretty terrible. Is it what I'm getting the impression of - which is just another "blood is scary, MOAR BLOOD!" movie?

[pedanticwench]

It's not that gory, really. It's really just terrifying because it takes you inside what could be a very true-to-life Westboro Baptist Church service, probably minus the killing.

SO poster lurking in. I saw the movie a few weeks ago. It gave me the serious creeps and nightmares.

Well, WBC doesn't kill people, but yes.. it's supposed to be "loosely-based" on them. WBC is in the middle of the city so it'd be hard to hide the bodies -- I live near there and I've seen their compound -- but they are still awful people.

That movie gave me nightmares too. TOO close to home for me, but I had to watch it. (Not my choice, it was forced upon me.)

And a very "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon", a friend of mine knows Kevin Smith (he's a film graduate, twitter follower, etc.) and he wrote it because WBC protested him once. Counter protests weren't sufficient enough for KS.

Duuuuude. Did the sermon make you feel nauseous? I was sitting there watching, getting more and more uncomfortable.

Emo, why was watching it forced upon you?

My husband and his friend watched it together at our house and I was like "okay, it won't be that bad. he made clerks, I like that movie." I didn't realize how wrong I was until I was already up to my chin in blanket hiding myself.
