Ring 2 scared someone?!?
He hasn't seen it - it's residual scared-ness from the first one.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. 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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Speaking of freaking people out, I was watching FotR on DVD with some friends a few years back, and before we sat down to watch, a couple of my friends were talking about how freaky the part where Bilbo tries to get the ring back from Frodo is. One of them was sitting on the floor in front of me during the movie and as that scene approached I noticed her tense up in anticipation. An instant before Bilbo does his freak out, I grabbed her shoulders and growled. She nearly went through the roof.
Once she calmed down she thought it was funny, but in the moment after she wanted to kill me.

move out and draw fire
You know what's weird? Watching the TV trailers for old movies on the DVD extras, and realizing how lame they were.
The trailer for The Fog freaked my shit right out. I wasn't allowed to see R-rated movies, so I didn't see the actual movie until years later, but I had nightmares from the trailer.
Now, watching that trailer as an adult (a media-saturated one at that), I have no idea why it was scary.

Audition was definitely freaky.
And I remember seeing Halloween when I was maybe 10 years old (maybe younger), and it scared the crap out of me. Not literally, though.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
See, I'm not a fan of the slasher/creepifying movies in general. I tend not to get scared, but I get tense, and that annoys me. The movies and scenes that I find truly scary are the ones where regular humans are knowingly doing absolutely awful things to each other - I'm thinking of specific scenes in Payback and The Grifters, but there are many more. I don't like it. I know humans are capable of great depravity, but I don't want to see it in my entertainment.
OTOH, Silence Of The Lambs remains one of my greatest mind-fuck movies of all time.

I was going to talk about Straw Dogs yesterday, but figured I'd probably pimped it more than often enough as the most chilling movie I've ever seen on so many levels.

Watching Boondock Saints...this is interesting. And, who to my wondering I should appear but Ron Jeremy? Good lawd!

Hey. New board.
The first second you figure out how the hooker got killed in Se7en. Oh my God, that is a shudder moment.
