Watching Saw on my Nameday

Hey guys,

I just came back from UGC Cinemas!! It's my nameday today, so I decided I would enjoy myself by heading off to see a movie. Unfortunately I had remembered the information wrong so I thought that the film would be starting at 9:25 not 9, so I made arrangements for the 9:25 film.

I got there at 9:22, giving me enough time to track over to the UGC Cinemas, which would normally have been around a 7 to 10 minutes walk, but I ran it in about two minutes, I say that because it wasn't even half past when I got to the place, which was pretty good for me.

As soon as I got there I had a shock! The doors wouldn't open, there was no one there and I was thinking damn, I can't be stuck here without watching a film and going back home like that... I went next door to a bar which was under the same building, asking why the doors were shut.

They had no idea as it wasn't associated in any way with the UGC Cinemas... Alas, I was about to go back to where the front doors were and try once more and then maybe go back to the bar, have a drink and head off for the train station again...

When I was nearing towards the front doors they 'magically' opened as a lady with her granddaughter were looking at something next to the doors and they accidentally opened them.

I rushed in as soon as that happened, to ask the clerk why the doors were closed and if I could see a film... I put on my charms and smiled at her, saying how I had travelled a long way just to see a film in their cinemas. At first she was hesitant, saying that her cashier was closed and she couldn't accept any cash... Then, slowly she smiled to me and said, well if you have the right change, I guess I can give you a ticket. Luckily I did, and she gave me a ticket!

I was going to watch Collateral as I set out for, but since all films had started around 9, I had to see the one that started the latest so that I would actually see more of the film...

I found out that saw started at 9:10... I had no idea what it was about, gave me the impression of a thriller film, and possibly horror, but didn't really care at the time.. Even if I had set out for a more adventure orianted film than a horror film, I was always a person that could eeasily adapt if the circumstances required it!

I went for Saw, headed off to the elevator and got off at the fourth flour.

And there was Saw at the fourteenth section. Here is information on the Saw > www.ugccinemas.co.uk/cinemathe…

I didn't get to read about it before I headed in... I had already lost so much time so I just went straight in and got the best spot for me. It was something totally different to what I've ever seen, not even the Silence of the Lambs came close to it I would think...

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who just wants some fun, and not a thrill, but I saw it and was amazed by its complexity, its way of diversing everything!! It was better than a Karyn Slaughter book, to my astonishment, but more violent. The reason I say this is because this killer, doesn't actually kill his victims... He forces them to inflict pain or more specifically death on themselves and/or on others, so he never actually kills...

I had everything timed and I managed to catch the train back as if on clockwork, when I got back to the train station, the train arrived seconds later and I was off heading back to Treeforest.

If any more questions arise for this, let me know. I can't think of anything more to add, except that it was a thrill and a scare, as I got to saw two parts of it that were a bit more gruesome than what I would have expected, the part were one guy cuts himself on barb wires to free himself from a barb wire room before his air supply depletes, and the other where the good doctor cuts his own leg to free himself... A scare thanks to the music I must say, so bravo on the composers of it, they really got to me. I really enjoyed the music it was great!

What a night, I'm still feeling the adrenaline of the film, it was really brilliant!

What will they think of next to keep people on the edge?
