The hype for tha tmovie was THICK.. they uploaded THE coolest website EVER.. I literally COULD NOT WAIT for that movie to come out..
As luck would have it, we booked a 2 week dive trip right before it came out.. the day it started playing was the day after we got home.. THE ENTIRE TRIP all we talked about was Blair Witch Project.. Almost couldn't wait for the trip to be over with so we could FINALLY see that movie..
So, we get home and to extremely early in order to get seats cuz it was selling out in the earlier viewings.. We're in line, waiting to go inside when the theater let out and I have NEVER seen people come out of a theater looking THAT pissed.. and everyone cussing and saying how stupid it was..
So, we go in and sit down and - later - as we were walking out, I had absolutely ZERO ammo to debate how against disappointed I was in that movie.. Absolutely BRILLIANTLY advertised and the method they used to shoot it - actually making the actors get lost and have no water/food and not know what they were going to come across - was brilliant.. and it STILL sucked..
One of these days I'll rewatch it and see if ANYTHING in it gets my attention..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
