great scene it was. The movie as a whole is a lot more satsifying than most horror thrillers. The vibe was very neatly pulled off. 

I found it moderately funny, which is more than I can say for most Hollywood 'comedies'. I thought it was about Hangover funny. 

I think you're mixing up Aeolus and Sisyphos. Aeolus is the god of the winds in greek mythology, if I'm not confused. 

my greek mythology is rusty so using the help of wiki, I was indeed mixing them up.

Sisyphus was the son of (the first) Aeolus. 

I thought it was Sisyphus who fit that scenario, but I don't know Greek myth really so I wouldn't know. That said, this entire idea (if Triangle indeed uses it) of infinitely trying to perform the same task - was used by Phillip K Dick in "A Little Something For Us Tempunauts," the story which was selected as last, final, in a 600+ page anthology of the best horror stories ever called THE DARK DESCENT. Now I found lots to disagree with in the selection, classification and etc criteria, but having this type of idea - manifested in that exact shot from triangle - the idea that the laws of physics can fuck you in a way you can't even understand - that, is horrifying. 

now i'm curious... but there's like 50 movies names Triangle on imdb... can you guys tell me which one you're talking about? 

I mean the semi-recent one, specifically this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_%282009_film%29 

with melissa george! 

yeah see my post, Sisyphus was the boulder pusher :)

But he was the son of Aeolus (so the link is still there).

Is anyone here on Criticker? 

TV series. First episode is a bit like 28 Days Later with a slight L4D vibe. The guy even met the horde at the end. Will watch more, perhaps it's like that British zombie mini series - gory fun, more serious though. The lawn zombie looked cool. 

THE WIRE - jesus, I had previously had DEADWOOD and CARNIVALE as favourites - amazing as they are - yet the tragedy of the wire is so much more potent since it is the tragedy happening right the fuck now due to, basically, American ignorance. Jesus. Second of all started watching BREAKING BAD and found it hilarious. Some parts sad, some parts interesting, but mostly a funny take on the ridiculous situation. 

In-deeed. 

is one of the best TV characters of all time. 

Agreed!

He is fantastic, as are 90% of the characters in that series.

Go watch Treme and Generation Kill also, both are made by the same crew that did The Wire. I know nonentity keeps mentioning it but he has good reason :) 

Tried to get into it, but it didn't work for me. Enjoyed Gen. Kill immensily though. 

It was 'cos gen kill wasn't about black people right? Damn racist! 

Me? 

good call :) 

off the top of my head I'd say Antichrist (possibly the best horror movie since The Shining), Let The Right One In (swedish vampire thing, subtitles), Altered (best take on the "gray aliens" ever filmed), The Descent (for some reason the heroine's memory of her son's birthday party is the creepiest shit), I thought the original Hostel was decent if you read into it the "shock therapy" capitalism of post-Soviet eastern Europe, I'm sure I'm forgetting many, but actually good (disturbing in an artisticaly defensible way) horror movies (as opposed to "torture porn sequel 15") are hard to find.

looking for reccomendations, if anyone has any. 

The Ring that was pretty good, the tv scene was so fucked up, the idea of shit that just does not make sense, is awesome. 

I also found "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and "The Fourth Kind" very creepy. 

I'll totally check those out
been reading this also, seen most of them
http://blog.moviefone.com/2007/10/31/best-horror-movies/ 

if they're going to include recent-ish films on that list (and stuff with fucked up gender implications like Let the Right One in) where the fuck is Antichrist? too controversial? This is horror! Honestly that is one of the most beautifully fucked up films of all time.
