We were getting ready to go out yesterday, when I noticed Scooby Doo was on. Malibu was sat watching it, so I sat and watched it too.
Malibu pointed at the screen, and said "Ghost" as this big hairy thing that was supposed to be a ghost wandered across the screen.
So I said "No, I bet it''s a man in a monster-suit."
So we sat and watched it until the end, where it was revealed that the ghost was actually a man in a monster-suit.
Malibu was really rather impressed by how smart I was, knowing that it was a man in a monster suit all along.
Which brings me to my point, wouldn't it be nice to watch a movie (or play a game) without knowing what's going to happen. Being completely unaware of any traditions or themes that always go with a genre. Imagine watching a movie and not knowing that the hero would make it.
Now I'm a cynical 24 year old I know full well that no movie is going to let a kid get eaten by a dinosaur, but maybe when we were younger this wasn't so apparent?
We just know that the dog isn't going to have been killed in the fire, and he'll run out when the family are mourning him, but when did we learn that that always happens?
I don't remember I time when I watched films without some kind of preconceived notion of what should happen - which undoubtedly did happen in the film.
I suppose that's why it's so refreshing to see films that don't go as you always expect, that don't have a happy ending?

Grrr. And he would have got away with it if it hadn't been for you pesky kids.
Alright you're older than me, but the point still stands. Some areas of the movie business are just gonna keep making predictable films unless some "pesky kids" give 'em a kick up the a*se.
Oh and has anyone seen "Deep Rising". That has got to be the most predictable horror movie I have ever seen.

Yup. That would be cool.

I watched that H20 the other week and predicted EXACTLY what was going to happen. Who was gonna die, who we would think was dead, who the comic relief was, when the killer would die. So predictable.
