Reposted from two different posts on my personal blog nerdmobile.wordpress.com

In 2013, after one of the first times I was on The Gentlemen Radio with the guys, they gave me a homework assignment:

The Gentlemen of The Gentlemen Radio gave me a homework assignment to do, which was to watch The Cabin In The Woods and “live tweet” while I did so. I agreed to this, and now it’s going to come to fruition.

Even if I don’t follow you, I will reply to all of your comments to me, so feel free to chat at me while I watch the movie.

Here is the result of that:

I had a lot of fun with this movie. A lot. A LOT. I mean, I knew going in that it would be along my lines of enjoyment, you don’t have that many people telling you to watch it only to come out on the other side with disappointment. You just don’t.

Tweeting while watching was interesting. I think it would have been easier to do if I’d been on a computer instead of my phone, but it was fun to put my thoughts out there and fun to get the reactions back. I even convinced one or two people to check the movie out just from what they were seeing. One without even knowing what the movie was.

I can’t really describe things any better than how things went down on Twitter, so I’m just going to post the tweets from that night and let them do all the talking. Before you ask, yes, there was actually a point where I was near tears from sheer joy.

06:49 pm Okay, here are a few things about my upcoming adventure. Just some heads ups.
10
06:50 pm There might be spoilers, I’ve never seen this movie before, but I feel pretty alone in that. So
I’m just going to say whatever.
06:52 pm I’m not going to hashtag anything. I hate them, and I want that room for my reactions.
Assume it’s about the movie unless I say otherwise.
06:53 pm I’ll try to keep up with replies to people, but I’m on a phone, so it’ll be slow.
06:56 pm Codine, water, chips, jerky, it’s movie time.
06:58 pm I <3 you, lionsgate
06:58 pm Ooh. Fantastic opening.
06:59 pm Babies will never be safe in my house.
06:59 pm Oh hi, Amy Acker
07:00 pm Ahaha! Haha. Drive away while talking to her. That rocks.
07:01 pm Professor Fuckwad!
07:02 pm HEY. Some of us like textbooks.
07:04 pm Nice old pot commercial reference.
07:04 pm "And you have no pants"
07:04 pm Is that a travel mug bong?
07:04 pm Holy crap, it is.
07:05 pm It's telescoping!
07:06 pm This is, like, the perfect horror movie setup.
07:07 pm I like the redhead, so that means she's going to die.
07:08 pm Haha. Barter gas.
07:09 pm Hey kids, you have to go inside and pay, so they can turn the pump on.
07:10 pm There's only one "The War".
07:10 pm That's a good way to die, kids.
07:12 pm Wtf did that bird just fly into? Holy shit.
07:13 pm I'll never understand why people jump at taxidermy.
07:13 pm Mila wants that painting.
07:14 pm Because a two way mirror isn't creepy
07:15 pm I'm really impressed that this guy was so nice about not letting her undress while she didn't
know.
07:16 pm I can't even say for sure I wouldn't have watched at least the shirt come off.
07:17 pm These people are pansies. That painting rocks.
07:18 pm Okay… this is intriguing.
07:19 pm Somebody takes his job too seriously.
07:19 pm Heehee. Hee. Speakerphone.
07:21 pm I kind of want this job, whatever it is.
07:22 pm I'm already fond of this movie.
07:23 pm Marty is too high to identify animals.
07:24 pm Oh, I like that she didn't just walk up and kiss the wolf.
07:25 pm Hello beastiality.
07:26 pm Wind doesn't work like that…
07:27 pm Either the stoner is going to die fast, or somehow survive. I like him, so I have hope, but I
think I know better.
07:28 pm Oh, somebody die in the wedding dress! Pleasepleaseplease!
07:29 pm I dare you to all pull your heads out of your asses and go the hell home.
07:30 pm Dear all my friends: a husband's bulge is the new term forever.
07:32 pm Huh. The old world?
07:34 pm I think stripper dancing counts toward slut. Blonde goes first.
07:35 pm Celebutard. Oh, I heart you new word.
07:36 pm I love Marty to bits. All of him is awesome.
07:37 pm Course, he may be IN bits eventually. And that's a shame.
07:40 pm The guy pacing in the background is creepier than the guys sitting and staring.
07:40 pm And boobs.
07:40 pm And first blood!
07:41 pm Oooh.
07:42 pm Huh. Again.
07:43 pm Pot is the boss of your brain, Marty
07:45 pm I like how I was right about the blonde.
07:46 pm You wanted Jules, stop screaming.
07:47 pm I like how Marty's pot soaked brain knows all.
07:48 pm This movie is like a pro-pot campaign.
07:49 pm Oh Marty. Goodbye, little one.
07:52 pm He's not going to kill us? Really?
07:53 pm Go redhead, go! Stabby!!
07:54 pm stupid kids turning the monster into a frog.
07:57 pm Stupid faulty wiring!
07:58 pm Oh please oh please oh please
07:58 pm I don't know if I want him to jump short or be shot out of the sky more
07:59 pm Oh nice! Sky barrier from earlier!
08:00 pm Redhead gets the idea now!
08:01 pm That was a pretty badass death.
08:01 pm And the redhead is the last alive.
08:02 pm Introspective moment interrupted by tequila. Happens every damn time.
08:03 pm There goes the redhead.
08:03 pm We win!
08:04 pm I love how normal this office party is.
08:05 pm Uh oh. What went wrong?
08:05 pm MARTY!
08:06 pm The stoner survived! Go pot!
08:06 pm I feel like pot makes Marty into a superhero.
08:07 pm "Yeah… I had to dismember that guy with a trowel. What have you been up to?"
08:08 pm Hello, elevator.
08:09 pm That would be a werewolf…
08:11 pm Marty and the redhead should kill everyone now.
08:12 pm I know she's named Dana. I just like calling her "the redhead"
08:13 pm I like that they're still being fucked with.
08:14 pm Woo! Unleash the kraken!
08:15 pm Well, everything *but* the kraken, really.
08:16 pm Dude. It's like a horror movie extravaganza….
08:16 pm I'm… I'm so happy right now…
08:17 pm I could cry a little bit. From joy. And glee. And joy.
08:18 pm FUCKING STABBED BY A UNICORN
08:18 pm OH MY FUCKING GOD I'm SO HAPPY
08:19 pm He got to see his merman!
08:21 pm Go stoner and redhead! Go! Kill! Slaugher!
08:21 pm Wait. Is… is that Cthulhu?
08:22 pm I mean, I heard them say the old ones ealier… but I dared not hope
08:25 pm Oh, maybe it was just a carving on the floor…
08:26 pm Hello Ms Weaver
08:26 pm Ancient ones! There it is again.
08:27 pm Shoot him, redhead!
08:28 pm Ohshit
08:28 pm Werewolfus interruptus
08:29 pm Now the whole world dies? Ihopeihopeihope.
08:30 pm More pot!
08:32 pm So touching, the bonding.
08:32 pm Well. That fucking rocked.
08:33 pm And we end with NIN. Approved.
08:34 pm Thank you to everyone for putting up with that. I'm done now. You can stop ignoring
twitter now.
08:39 pm I really need to own that movie.
