2. A festival for stalwart hearts with no need for modern plumbing.

Needless to say, I shall never attend.

8. I'd actually love to attend a burning man

But I've seen "The Wicker Man" too many times. Although I am a pagan so it probably wouldn't be me frying in the big guy, but I'm not a cop killer.

9. You can never see "The Wicker Man" too many times

obviously, I'm referring to the original and not that Nicholas Cage abomination :)

11. It wasn't horrible

but it was actually less trippy than the first and that's a shame considering the visuals they can do today. That being said it's kind of hard to enjoy any remake like that where there is supposed to be a "twist" ending. I'm sure some fool will remake "The Sixth Sense" and "The Crying Game" someday too.
