Pop Culture 12/1

This weekend was, in a word, ridiculous. My family (my younger sister, mother, and older sister) "kidnapped" me and took me to Gatlinburg for two days---no cell phone reception, no computers, and LOTS of hormones. So here I am, arriving back at home, after experiencing a weekend DEVOID of all things current, hoping that my late pop culture post will still be accepted :(
For this to happen, however, I feel like I need to mention something pop-culture-y. Thus I will relate my feelings on a movie recently (I think?) put out...Cabin in the Woods. My boyfriend and I are both a little too anxious for our own goods--he, about things that might actually happen which could endanger us, and me, about the utterly theatrical and far-fetched. We chose this "scary" movie because, while we both had the inclination to watch a scary movie, we felt like this was more of a farcical scary movie than an actual scary movie. We used this logic and ventured forth. I think it turned out all-right. I was fine with the level of scary it was, but I am torn concerning the ending. Don't worry, no spoilers here, I'm just finicky about movie endings, and I'm just not certain this was the best fit. One of my thoughts was, "So this is what passes for 'Theatrical Cinematography' these days..."
Aw well, we got what we paid for, and had a fun time--I s'pose I have no room to nit-pick.
