ok, i don't do what's known as see movies in a "timely" fashion.
but i finally saw this when i was home sick on friday.
what was the consensus about the ending?
loved the concept and the fresh take on the genre but i basically mean the very end. i guess at that point all hell had broken loose (quite literally) but i really thought she woulda shot the "fool" and tried to salvage the world.
i loved almost all of movie especially when i went back and watched the betting scene and cellar scene again, but just the very end. i guess once everything was loose they painted themselves into a corner and had to just end it all. i can't tell if the movie ending left me wanting more or disappointed. i still can't tell.
thoughts? theories? general insults directed at members of my family??
btw bradley whitford is awesome.
edit: also i did a search and nothing came up probably because it came out so long ago relatively speaking

I think it fit their characters as a bunch of selfish twits. Even faced with the prospect of all human life being eradicated, they won't make a sacrifice for the greater good. I kind of loved that. They had been through so much, so it was just like, "hey, screw everyone in existence."
You do realize the audience are the gods who are destroying the universe at the very end? The universe "dies" because the movie ends and there will be no sequel. They literally ended their existence when the movie ended.

The whole thing was a "loving hate letter" from Joss Whedon to the horror movie genre. The gods at the end are movie-going audiences who are tired of the same old cliche' horror movies and plots.
Great, great film and easily one of my favorites from 2012.
MERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah i guess that's why i said wanting more. i wanted the movie to end with a shot like 2 months later everthing is normal and two new snarky guys walk into the room ready to do this again.

This.
But I think Kranz's line about starting over, "maybe someone else" was important as well. That was really a calling to creatives to "do something different," the genre.

On another level it's a serious critique of what we love and what we don't about horror movies. I love being scared. I love that mixture of thrill, of horror, that objectification/identification thing of wanting definitely for the people to be all right but at the same time hoping they’ll go somewhere dark and face something awful. The things that I don't like are kids acting like idiots, the devolution of the horror movie into torture porn and into a long series of sadistic comeuppances. Drew and I both felt that the pendulum had swung a little too far in that direction.[

What I loved about the movie is that at first, I hated most of the characters and hated how cliche' they were. And then, a little while later, you realize that that was the whole point. And then it really starts getting fun/awesome.

The whole movie was great.
It completely rips the general horror film viewing public a new a-hole for getting what they want and then complaining about it.

This movie was awesome. The criticism comes from ppl not getting what is going on. Or thinking it was one thing from the previews and having it change up mid movie. You either like all the plot twist in the movie, or you think it sucks. There really is no in between.

Would love to see some prequels to this. They have plenty of material to work with.

Agree with that, big time.

I'm fine with the ending. If we were able to stop the old gods once before I am sure we can do it again once their lust for blood settles down.

I don't think you got it. There is no 2 months later. Errbody dead.

Are you saying man 1000s of years ago could strike a deal with the old gods but we wouldn't be able to do it again today?
Seems to me like a deal could be struck after the initial violence. If such a small amount of blood could keep them silenced, I imagine after a few hours of rampaging they will take another protracted nap.

no i got it, that's my small point of contention. i didn't want errbody to be dead, i wanted an open ending for more shite to go down.
but i get the metaphor and think it was executed brilliantly.
on that pic posted above i went back and paused and saw "unicorn" and went WTF???? so seeing the unicorn skewer someone later was bigger (for me) then the merman moment. that shite was awesome.
also, i think out of all the choices, "molesting tree" would be my least favorite.

You, me, illuminatic.. your parents.. are all the "old gods" ... when did you strike a deal with man 1000s of years ago?

if wheddon made Cabin in the Woods 2 - it could happen simply because of the fact that you are back in the movie theater watching the next movie.. which would mean, you made another pact with the horror film industry to watch the cliche drivel again.. sequel created.
