Iron Chitlin posted:@BCoxBox I remember the night when it started raining, yeah. But as you saw, I left once we got back to Tim's apartment. Wait a minute, can somebody clarify something for me? I thought Jay didn't remember much(any?) of the original MH filming? Hence why he and Tim acted like strangers when he interviewed him way back in season 1. Now he says he remembers hanging out with him and filming etc? Edit: Fixed names. Braint fart, thanks dude below for pointing it out.

^ If I'm wrong, someone please correct me, but I think it was only specific entries, like Entry 17, that Jay didn't recall being present when they were filmed. Jay can recall the evening of Entry 54 because he was present during shooting, but left before the Operator arrived.

Well Jay did work as a script supervisor on the original film, though I always got the impression that wasn't too involved in the actual production beyond script work and location scouting. Also I don't believe that it was ever stated that he didn't remember any or even most of the filming, it just seemed like very specific days/moments that got erased. As for Tim... I don't know, maybe Jay is just one of those people that blends in with the room and is remembered by nobody.

Yeah that sounds right. He remembers making Marble Hornets in general, but there are events he doesn't recall. For example I am pretty sure he says he has no memory of the entry where Tim is standing in front of a window with Slenderman in the background. As far as entry 15, I think it's a couple things. One, Jay doesn't start watching the tapes and posting entries til several years after Alex left. Tim and Jay were just two dudes who don't know each other working on the same awful film for a few months til Alex shut it down. It's not like they were best buds. Two, I think it was blatant foreshadowing that Tim is Masky or at least somehow involved in the supernatural poo poo going on. He's so shifty and awkward.

FrancisYorkPatty posted:I've been watching a BBC Documentary "A History of Horror" and they do a quick little recap on Halloween and it's take on the slasher film, and the main point that Carpenter makes is how the scariest scene from Psycho is the scene where the killer comes out of nowhere and kills a man on the staircase. He makes a point that the scariest part of the slasher film is the omnipresence of the slasher, and it immediately reminded me of Marble Hornets and how it has taken its own angle on slasher films. It's a mash-up of the "lost footage" type of horror film and a slasher film, in which the slasher does no actual slashing. This is why i also like movies like Paranormal Activity (despite their flaws), anything that moves horror away from torture porn and gore is a good thing.

Paranormal Activity was goddamned creepy, especially once I realized that the creators were working off the same silly-rear end books about demonic possession that I read obsessively as a kid. Basing the pattern of the progression on poo poo that people actually believe in was great.

Just so you are aware, Troy is the name of the actor that plays Jay, while Tim is the character Jay interviewed in entry 15 (Tim's real name is also Tim).

Not even just that, but taking two far-separated takes on the genre and melding them together in a way that works. It's really interesting to me.

Paranormal Activity ruled because every time the boyfriend did something I was like "yeah sounds totally reasonable, that's exactly what I would do bro," and it kept getting more and more clear that all of his ideas were bad and that he was going to die.

Most of my friends pish-posh that, saying "but you can't ever seeee the monster!". I think the acting is incredibly realistic, and their horror seems genuine. Seeing other people being scared is what scares me the most. Now that I think about it, its kind of odd that those actors never did anything else... almost as if... they actually DID get lost in the woods

Huh, I didn't know that but apparently so. I only saw the last, most commonly available one. Basically I just didn't like how she turned all demonic and rushed the camera. The entire movie is the Nothing Is Scarier trope and then they throw it all out at the last second. All of the alternate endings sound better.

BWProject came out when I was like 16 and I totally fell for the "THIS IS REAL FOUND FOOTAGE!" hype they were putting out everywhere. I wonder if today's teens fell for the same thing when PA came out or if everyone is just too jaded now thanks to *`~the internet~`* e: I liked both movies, fwiw.

I actually remember reading somewhere that the reason the acting is so good is because the director really did just get them lost in the woods, gave them short rations, scared the poo poo out of them when they were trying to sleep and just constantly kept them on edge the entire time they were filming. I'll see if I can find the article I read that in. Edit: Looks like it was number one in Cracked's 5 Amazing Performances From Actors Who Weren't Acting.

Yeah, I believe they originally had those alternate endings in the initial screenings and just did them in different places and gauged which one got the best feedback, and went with that one, but I think they stuck with that ending due to a suggestion from somebody in marketing or PR or something like that

That drat Satyr posted:I'm super curious now, what were the books called? Google is not giving me any results. Look for books involving Ed and Lorraine Warren, in particular "The Haunted". The basic pattern is that the demon starts with little insignificant poo poo, like little things going missing or things being found broken or whatever, and slowly ramps up the abuse until everybody in the house is completely physically and spiritually demoralized and exhausted, and once everybody's broken down, it goes for possession. All nonsense, of course, but realizing (and confirming later) that they were working off the same stuff I read as a kid made the movie that much more effective for me.

Okay, that just creeped me out to no end, especially that white face appearing out of nowhere.

For what it's worth I opened the file in Audacity's spectrogram view and got the same message. So that's definitely legit. Until that was pointed out (very nice catch on the audio!) I thought for sure this was the Alex half of TTA posting. It's so aggressive and hosed up. But maybe it's just Tim/Masky going on the offensive against Alex? Unless by some horribly contrived plot device, Jay and Alex have the same birthday? It is the Season of Tim, after all. Pretty great entry regardless.

Tim and/or Masky is aggressively pursuing Alex, similar to the "How much do you hate? IT IS NOT ENOUGH" TTA entry from last season (which owned by the way).
