I heard you guys talk about "The Host" on the show and I'm just curious, why do people like this movie? I watched it and hated almost every second of it and wished I had been given my time back. I saw it when it came out on DVD and felt it went way to long and I really didn't care for anyone in the movie and the attempts to establish their characters are just blah....maybe it's because I saw the English subbed version and something is lost in translation..still I absolutely hated this.

Man, I really loved the movie. Not too much I can say negative about it. We did a round table sicussion on it with Santo, Riren, Troy, John and myself. Too bad you weren't around to give a different opinion at the time.

I still say it's the best Monster type film in years!

I liked most of the protagonist characters and most of the offbeat humor (like the monster ramming people instead of spearing or swallowing them) worked on me. It's not a scary movie, though it has a few intense moments. I just had a really good time watching it; never thought it was an instant classic, but saw quality in it. Sorry you disliked it so much, though.

that's cool I guess. I just was curious as to why I seemed to be the only one who didn't like it. Keep in mind I think the fact that we watched it early in the morning after a huge hangover and it just seemed way too long for our liking.

Saw they had this on Blu Ray the other day. I'll pick it up someday. I enjoyed it I will say it was a bit long. I watch the subtitle version can you select it that way on your DVD?
I'd have to watch the English version to tell which one better though.
Use to hate subtitles but I'm use to it now.

I'm not sure if the copy we had (as it was a rental copy-and my friends not mine) could allow you to play with subtitles. The film may have made more sense with it though. I personally love subtitled films and would rather watch those then dubbed.
