Ha ha. Good stuff. The propellor scalping the girl was a good one. As was the chick who came apart when they were carrying her.
This seemed very disjointed though. I'm assuming this was just a teaser scene.
That was probably an unofficial shot of Mr. Dreyfess vacationing on his boat. Seriously, what the hell is he doing in this???
I have no hopes for this in terms of story. We may have just seen the best part. Can't wait to read reviews. There might be people vomiting in the theater.
This movie has a pretty good cast, Christopher lloyed, Richard Dreyfus, ving rames, Elizabeth shue, plus it looks like it has some sweet gore, i doubt its the goriest movie ever made, or even close, but it still looks fuckin' awesome!
Oh, exactly! (BTW I'm 65 PDF pages into "Complete". It's good. Probably be an hour before I finish it.) Oh yeah. Horror is chock full O tropes. Can you describe your personal interest toward gore films? A gritty, bloody self expose analysis of "Get it"? Is it fine entertainment as long as it's (respectfully) stupid/absurd, but if it starts smacking of a legit snuff film then it's not cool at all? How far is too far? When do ticket and DVD sales plummet?
I should note I make a distinction between gore films and horror films in general. I wouldn't consider Hellraiser a gore film, for example. It's a gory film but there's a lot more going on and the gore is not the focus.
My favorite gore films (e.g. Re-Animator, Evil Dead, Peter Jackson's first three films) tend to be fun, humorous and clever.
Inside, on the other hand, is very stark and misanthropic but has a great story. Ichi the Killer doesn't have a particularly discernible story but the characters are absolutely fascinating and watching them interact is equally so.
Piranha 3D might be missing a few of these things but it certainly looks fun and doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. That's good enough for me.
That said, I don't think gore films have to be absurd or over the top. They can be gritty and nasty too. They just need to offer something in addition to the gore.
I honestly can't answer your last question. The Saw films have paper thin characters, nebulous plots, no sense of fun whatsoever and increasingly uninspired set pieces. I hate the term "torture porn" but those films fit the description even more than the Hostel films do... and yet, it's the most successful horror franchise in history.

Do you think they'll find a closet big enough for the four of them?
Jeff, Sorry looks like you missed the party. Link is down. You'd a loved it. Naked bitches. people falling apart. Chick getting scalped. I could go on...
Here's an interview with director Alexandre Aja (Haute tension/The Hills Have Eyes/Mirrors) from Comic-Con - it appears Richard Dreyfuss is actually playing the same character he played in Jaws:
Director Alex Aja makes no bones about where his sympathy lies in PIRANHA 3D. With the fishes, of course. "The Spring Breakers are the mass of raw meat," Aja tells press. "We have them trying to survive that situation. Somehow I have the feeling that, maybe not in the U.S. but in Europe, the movie will be perceived more on the piranha side."
Jerry O'Connell provides comic relief in the movie as the character you love to hate, a thinly-veiled take on Girls Gone Wild's Joe Francise. "Jerry in the movie is the human piranha," says Aja. "He is like that other kind of predator on spring break. In the water you have piranhas and above you have Jerry's character. His last line is one of the best. He's spitting blood and he's saying, 'Wet t-shirts, wet t-shirts.'"
The footage aired at Comic-Con (and, ahem, possibly on a web site or two) was heavy on the gore and gratuitous nudity. Aja promises he's got plenty more where that came from. "What you saw is a small part of the movie. There is much more in that location."
If there is one human in the movie Aja showed some respect for, it was Richard Dreyfuss, who returns almost 25 years later to the character he made famous in JAWS, Matt Hooper. "He survived the shark and this time the piranha won't let him go," says an enthusiastic Aja. "Richard really understood the idea, that we didn't want him to come and play something else, that he was Matt Hooper and he was coming to play Matt Hooper. He was so happy. It's a great way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jaws. We were very shy to ask him about Jaws, but he was giving up everything about the experience. He came for two days and it was an amazing two days."
Despite the 29 year lag between PIRANHA movies, the franchise has an intriguing directorial history with Joe Dante directing the first and none other than king of the world himself, James Cameron, taking the reigns on the sequel. We asked Aja whether he had thoughts for murderous fish movies. "You know, this is PIRANHA," says Aja. "They can come back and there are many, many possibilities for other stories. I think they will definitely have some other PIRANHA movies, but we are talking about different stories and nothing is set yet. If we think about a great storyline that can do a real movie and stand on its own, then yes, I would definitely be involved."
