There's never really a time when sports can't permeate its way into your viewing pleasure. Never was this more apparent than when Big Money Tony and I caught up and watched Vacancy. It's more of a scary suspense rather then a true horror movie. Now for those that don't wish to know how the movie plays out this is your opportunity to wait like the Olympic Results during the news and for all other please feel free to click below.
The scene in question starts with Luke Wilson watching some tapes of prior occupants of the hotel being murdered. Something viewers of the movie have already guessed that Frank Whaley, the mechanic, and the third killer record occupants being killed. BMT turned and sarcastically asked what Luke Wilson was doing and was he watching to get his jollies like other characters in the film.
I could only answer BMT and defend Luke Wilson's character's honor by saying that he was scouting the competition like Walsh & Spygate. He played and rewound the tapes over and over again to deduce that the killer always appeared from inside and from the bathroom. Having tapes on the opposing offense's playbook allowed the only two guests in the hotel to survive.
This movie then brought about another discussion about hotels off the interstate; chains or not and whether you'd stay there for a few hours. At least one thing we both agreed on was Kate Beckinsale's comment that she was sleeping with her clothes on. I view more of those strange scary looking hotels off the highway more like the Bates Motel.
