Yeah, I saw that. They're doing a promo for COD.

Time is perfect for another movie. Hopefully one that doesn't suck.

Abandon all hope.

Amusingly, my wife and daughter and I watched TVM 1 and 2 last week. We all love the original, but got halfway through 2 and gave up. What a shitburger.

Two days later, as my wife and I are driving to the mall, suddenly and apropos of nothing, my wife says “I can't believe how shitty Texas CHAINSAW massacre 2 was!”

I love the 2nd and third ones equally. The humor in part 2 works for me but i know for some people it feels odd.

It's not just the humour, it's the fact that halfway through the movie pretty much nothing had happened aside from the painful attempts at humour.

The beauty of part 2 is how unhinged it is; in its own way, it's just as intense as the original. The set-piece in the radio station is arguably the best sequence of Hooper's career. I will say that it's a movie that takes time to appreciate and it's absolutely not for every taste i.e. normal people, haha.

I was hugely disappointed with TCM2 when I first saw it (via a smuggled-in Dutch VHS, at a time when it was still banned in the UK).

However, I revisited it in the DVD age and fell in love with it. I'll admit it's a Marmite film. Its irreverence and its denouncement of 'business' chimes with me.

Back in 2017, I put together a lengthy review of the Arrow Blu-ray release in which I tried to articulate what about the film appeals to me: http://dvdcompare.net/review.php?rid=4873

But given my own journey with the film, I can see why some people dislike it so much.

I hated TCM2 when I first saw it as well, mind you I was just a young horror fan at the time and couldn't really appreciate the anarchy of it all. That, and the fact that my first viewing was of the heavily-censored Canadian VHS version. Literally the only gore that wasn't cut was the scene where Hopper kicks in the wall and the guts spill out.

When I was a kid I vastly preferred Part 2 to the first movie because of the lack of gore in the original. These days I'm still more likely to throw on Part 2. But that's probably because it's the only one I own.

I think the original film was always lost on me because I saw so many gorier films first. Now I like it a lot but mostly for it's set design above all.

I waited 11 years to see Part 2 after first reading about it in Starburst until I finally got a VHS player that could convert NTSC to PAL and imported it. I found it disappointing, but there was a lot that I still enjoyed. I found the gore to be a bit cartoony, and hated the plinky-plonky silent movie score which sounds like a kid played it on their Bontempi organ. The rushed ending (it worked first time, but not here), obvious stunt doubles and that Texas switch were bad too. I know it was rushed, but I think it needed better editing, less of Chop Top's/Cook's riffs and the Joe Bob/underground parking scene back in. I always thought that LG's fate packed a real punch. It's a favourite of mine now but FFS, Leatherface twerking is not a good idea.

That sounds as incoherent as the Canadian Day of the Dead VHS was. I'll never forget the suicide scene being chopped to the soldier pulling his sidearm, beginning to bring the barrel to his mouth, then his body sitting on the floor with a trail of blood down the wall after a jump cut.

Yep. Unfortunately, that abortive Canadian version was the way I saw DAY for the first time as well. I remember my friends and I would watch the SCREAM GREATS documentary on Tom Savini over and over again because, at the time, that was the only way for us to see the uncut footage from DAY.

I remember renting the laserdisc of Day when I finally got a player and being floored by just how much was missing from that VHS version. Some jump cuts removed 20 seconds of footage or more,
