T is for the Truth

And also for Tom Lenk, because I emitted several high-pitched squeals when he showed up.

But the truth is that Cabin in the Woods is not some great new horror movie following in the tradition of horror movies, which is what every review led me to believe. No, it is a straight-up Joss Whedon comedy. And it is, in fact hi-fucking-larious*. I probably spent the last third giggling, clapping, and squealing in turns. But it is not a horror movie.

Also, why the heck has everyone been so hell-bent to avoid spoilers? This is not a Sixth Sense scenario. The actual plot was my second guess from reading the careful reviews, and the movie is upfront about it from the beginning. And if the reviews had been straight forward, I would have seen it a week ago.

I am mystified. But also amused, so it's okay. And a little bit alarmed, because Chris Hemsworth is awfully cute, and I feel like he shouldn't be.

The Rocky Horror cast were filing into the theatre as our show let out. Sadly, I chose to be responsible and go to bed, since I work tomorrow.


* If you find Whedon funny, anyway. Which I do, at least 50% of the time.
