i don't know why they freak me out so much, but they do.
Oh, they freak me out, but in a good way. I was thinking the other day about why we watch horror movies (after wondering why I wanted to see
Open Water
so much), and I decided it's because the best ones tap into that visceral fear, and I want to experience strong emotion like that, because it reminds me that I'm human.
but anything involving visions of dead people (whether it's The Sixth Senth or a piece of crap like Event Horizon )
I love
Event Horizon.
It's one of the few movies that's truly
scared
me. It may have helped that both times I saw it were in the dark.

Hee. I don't feel so bad then. At the time I felt like an idiot for being terrified by something I could tell (even watching through my fingers) was a big steaming pile of melted Velveeta.

It probably doesn't make any sense, but it's damn creepy.

no good freaking here. though every time i see the trailer for Apocalypse i can't seem to make myself turn away or change the channel. i liked the plot of Resident Evil, but my insane fear of zombies just makes it impossible for me to watch it alone or at night.
why I wanted to see Open Water so much
that's another one i'm going to have to wait to see. why? because that is totally something that can happen to anyone. *shudder*
Any advance word on the Jet Li movie opening tomorrow? ita?

Jessica raved about it a few hundred posts back. Lemme find.
Not so much advance as retro, Betsy, since it's been out for a while. (You do mean
Hero,
right?) I've heard it's glorious.
I know that I want to see it.
I went and looked up what
Hero
was about. Apparently, it is based on Chinese ancient history (like, when the various kingdoms unified for the first time), except for the part where ancient Chinese people probably could not fly.
Okay,
Resident Evil
lovers, why?? It is a movie of vast foolishness, compounded by immense silliness. Also, pointless symbolism. The only movie I can think of that used more gore and pointless symbolism to cover up its silliness was...
Event Horizon.
Polter-Cow is dead to me, I think. The only way those movies can be entertaining is if you are hopped up on lots of (a) caffeine (b) liquor or (c) drugs of a more illicit nature. Or if you're, like, a pathologist.
