Prone to lying and putting on false personae to deal with a painful past.
That's pretty much what I figured. Will send back with little regret. Doesn't seem to be my thing.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey. New board.
Hmmm. Just read EW's 20 scariest movies. Movies on the list that I haven't seen are The Poltergeist, The Omen, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Rosemary's Baby, The Thing (John Carpenter verision), The Evil Dead, An American Werewolf in London, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Lost Highway, and The Hitcher. Exactly half of them. Should I Netflix them all?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Nova, I'll recommend Rosemary's Baby, unless you're pregnant or expect to be so soon.
But then, you're male, correct? Then it's a good guide what not to do if your SO becomes pregnant.

Also a decent guide of what not to do to get her pregnant.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Finally finished reading this thread. Thanks to you people, my Netflix queue now has 219 movies in it. Okay, some of them are Farscape disks, but still.
I never understood what's confusing about Donnie Darko. The Ring and The Grudge both scared the crap outta me. I still get creeped out, just thinking about them. rrrghhh, now I'm thinking about them... la la la nothing scary here
Why do I keep watching Japanese horror movies when I know they're going to bother me for weeks?
Gris - Oct 31, 2004 1:08:16 pm PST #5358 of 10001
Hey. New board.
Right. All netflixed.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
She eventually gathered the courage to ask about it, and apparently it's just his normal voice.
Hmm. I suppose it could be the effect of a carton-a-day smoking habit or somesuch. But 10-15 years ago his voice was much higher-pitched, clearer, and had a slight nasal quality. Ah well, glad to hear it's not a sign of dire medical news.
Well, I have a rental of Hideo Nakada's Dark Waters to watch tonight, so between that and eating some of the humungous bag of Smarties I bought as trick-or-treater insurance today I expect to be getting to sleep sometime Wednesday.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
I avoid scary movies like the plague. But at the Halloween party I went to on Friday, one guy was dressed like the girl from The Ring. He was terrifying lots of people, but didn't bother me in the slightest, since I hadn't seen it. I chatted with him for a bit, and he said that the most irritating part of the costume was the difficulty in seeing through all the black hair hanging in front of his face.
I'm kind of looking forward to the end of the Halloween scary-movie-push period.
I did just see Bad Santa, though. It was really funny, in a slightly horrifying way.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ack. I hated that movie. I didn't find it very funny at all. Lauren Graham notwithstanding. What happened, Terry Zwigoff? I loved Ghost World.
