Jacko and now his brother is in movies...

remember when Jacob's wife is all dancing erotically with
that snake thing
and the dudes with no eyes!

I don't like Jacob's Ladder at all. Psuedo-psychological
wankery.

Movie is cool shit...I thought the subway scene was
excellent, so eerie with that silent baglady!

i watched this today - but was kind of occupied with
the
girl that was over - so i didnt really get to watch most of
it - i saw most of hte beginning - up until the subway
scene
- but then i kinda got distracted - i saw some odd bits
throughout the movie - like when the guy is in the asylum
(an interesting scene to see while making out to
say the least) and the final bit

i didnt really understand the point of the movie - would
someone care to enlighten me?

id say its in my top 10. it seems kinda underrated to me
though, which is a shame. the music in it is versy good,
kind of eerie and melancholic.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. Apparently my sister saw
it and it took her a week to get over it, is it that bad?

got it on DVD today, just finnished watching it, what a
great movie! I hadn't even heard of it untill the other day
when I read it influenced the Silent Hill games. The
hospital scene was so Silent Hill. This has just jumped into
my top 10 films of all time, I loved just about everything
about it.

It's an alright film, but it's hardly
earth-shattering. Can someone tell me more about the deleted
scene on the dvd which (according to IDMB) has the
"revelation of Jezzie's true nature"?

damn!
I have already seen the movie. But write SPOILERS or
something on top of your post so someone who hasn't seen the
movie reads that.
If I know something that's going to happen to happen in a
movie when I'm watching it, it really messes up my mood and
the view...

not all DVDs has the deleted scenes included on them...
(e.g. mine).
But I'm fine with that.
Actually there was a trailer on my dvd and that trailer
included lots of parts that weren't in the movie ---> but
except for one where they could have sneaked some action
into the scene where Jacob is driving, I don't think there's
anything missing. Well... who is Jezzie?

You know, the annoying cow he lives with who gets a bloody

actually CURE jacob.

from imdb:

A traumatized Vietnam war veteran finds out that his
post-war life isn't what he believes it to be when he's
attacked by horned creatures in the subway and his dead son
comes to visit him
