You know what really grinds my gears?: The moaning thread.

Mean...I'd still watch a scary movie with you...

Impossible. I'd take up the entire couch. I like to lounge and stretch out.

I have so so many things I could say to that but this isn't a69

I haven't done this since I was a teenager, but I think the very best way to watch a scary movie is with someone who isn't scared (especially if they're the nice kind who won't scare you bc they think it's funny). Just get under their arm in kind of a ball with your face against their side. Then you just turn into them and hide for every scary part. Yes that's definitely the best way.

Losty you are ADORABLE.

When I was a child, my dad would let me watch scary movies and TV shows late at night, mostly to piss off my mom. He would boast to people how I could remain calm through the scariest parts of any movie or show. I never told him, but I wasn't calm... I was still. As in petrified. But I loved it.

I don't see the point in watching a scary film if you don't get scared. But I was never the type to scream and cover my eyes. I might get startled and laugh nervously after a particularly effective scare, but I don't panic. So I guess we could watch scary movies together. But if you pressed your face against me it would feel like you were getting a massage due to the shaking and shivering.

Does this mean you would watch a scary movie with me?

Well, I guess you can be scared too hehe. Try not to jump too much (because that tends to scare me) and don't forget to tighten your grip when you can tell I'm really scared.
So what will we watch?

So what will we watch?

Let's start with something mild, like The Exorcist.

True Story: I didn't watch the full, uncut film until a couple of years ago. I can remember seeing parts of it on commercial TV as a teenager and being scared witless. But I have to admit that seeing it so many years later was something of a downer. It was a landmark film for its time, and still considered one of the scariest movies ever, but I don't think it has aged very well. Or maybe I have. I was impressed at how they managed to make it with what seems to have been a pretty tight effects budget (most of which I assume went towards the make-up).

And at least it doesn't have any of those (now seriously over-used) scenes where a character is dragged off by an invisible force. (this is my attempt to stay on-topic)

I haven't seen it. Hopefully it's not too scary.



And yea I totally forgot this thread is not the "talk about scary movies" thread.

Yes, that was a pretty scary film at the time. I've never felt the need to watch it again, tbh.

Here since I contributed to the hijacking of this thread, I will try to put it back on track by whining about my life.

No one even warned me that A) seven year old boys never stop eating, and B) taking on 2 extra kids would make me feel like I don't like kids anymore. Ahhh

[vorlon13]

Back to whining:

damn this West Nile fever crap. Over 3 weeks into this, and I still get instantly tired if I exert myself, and then within minutes, I have soaked my clothes in sweat.

Yuck!!


If I try to push myself I get shaky and dizzy. I'm clearing my calendar a week at a time, but this semi-invalid way of living is annoying. I have stuff I HAVE to get done, dammit !!

When a driver is too slow getting into the intersection. Missed two lights in a row today because people don't know what it means to accelerate....not to mention the asshole who did not move when people were stuck in the intersection behind him. One of these days, I want to be right behind one of those jerks and shove them forward with my car.
