CJacobs posted:The movies justify this by having only the original Jigsaw stick to this idea, he dies in I think 3(?) and after that it's his various apprentices. Not that it really matters because the very first trap in the first movie was inescapable because of the key that goes down the drain when the guy wakes up in the tub. isn't that what the hacksaw was for

You'd think, but a flashback in Saw 3 reveals that it's his idiot apprentice lady's fault the key got washed away and it really was supposed to be the solution for some reason

What's up with Jigsaw being weirdly omniscient/omnipresent that he can capture any random Joe at any time and force them into his death games but he's apparently the worst judge of character ever when it comes to picking his apprentices?

I watched 1 and 2 because I had a friend who was obsessed with Saw. I told her the first movie reminded me of Cradle of Fear and the second reminded me of a Yu-Gi-Oh storyline from the manga (so it's not like I had great taste to start with). She didn't like that but I didn't have to watch any more Saws, that is my story. Seriously check out Cradle of Fear, the terrible movie by the band Cradle of Filth, though. I watched it the same day as Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter, and both are superior movies.

It was similar enough for me to be a total douche at the time.

muscles like this! posted:A weird thing about the Saw series is that Jigsaw's MO is supposed to be that his traps always have a way out but the majority of the movies are just full of unwinnable traps that kill no matter what. The movies recognize this but then just keep doing the same thing anyway.

Still in possession of the jacket used to get the phone the first time...time to saw off a limb instead of use the jacket a second time! First one was not very good but I finished it. I assumed their target market of sadists was huge to keep the franchise afloat much like whatever brain damage keeping fast and furious printing money

Two people have a long time to figure out that the body in the room isn't dead as well. I can't remember why the corpse wasn't searched but all they would have had to do was touch the body to excape. I could look past this stuff if the movie didn't seem to congratulate itself for being so clever with plot twists.

they couldn’t reach the body, it took some engineering to grab the tape player from his hand with the tub stopper chain but yeah they should have been able to tell at some point

I watched all of them in a week with my roommate. It was a pretty fun week even though many of the films are not very good. "Jigsaw takes on the health insurance industry" is pretty funny as a premise that actually happened
