'The Killer In Me'
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.
I'm the gal who was traumatized by the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz but still insisted on watching it year after year
Oh, me too! Also the scary trees. And the Bumble Monster in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, when I was five or six, had me hiding behind my father's chair. I was a terribly sensitive soul as a child.
When I was three or four I was watching tv and a preview for a show came on where someone woke up in bed and there was a skeleton standing next to the bed. For months I'd remember that scene and get freaked out.
I can't remember getting freaked out by tv or a movie since then, although I'm pretty sure I must have been.
Oh, when I was about ten my mom told me about a movie she and my dad saw where someone was decapitated and their body was thrashing around after that. That freaked me out a little--I still wonder why my mom told me that.
The flying monkeys freaked me out a little--because you can't run away from them!
He was also fine with Despicable Me 2
Wait, did that have a traumatic scene in it? I totally can't remember, but I know I loved that movie.
I don't remember getting freaked out by any movies when I was a kid. I might have been, I just don't remember. Bad things happening to animals have always upset me, but animal deaths like Charlotte and Old Yeller didn't upset me as much as people being mean to them, if that makes sense.
I still haven't watched Grand Budapest Hotel because someone throws a cat out a window apparently.
Tep, there was concern the evil Minions would be traumatic, since they're normally cute and loveable, when they attack the girls. At least that was some of the reviews of the movie I read raised. Obviously, didn't bother my son, so it might have been another over-reaction.
Ah. Huh, that didn't even occur to me.
Huh, that didn't even occur to me.
Seconded. I remember it as a lot of fun. With room for one, maybe two, more sequels before they run out of ideas.
My sister just sent me this sci fi dystopia? trailer with Robin Wright playing Robin Wright: [link] It's weird, but I'm all over it like white on rice.
Oh, you weren't joking about Robin Wright playing Robin Wright.
I have no idea what the fuck that movie is actually about, but it looks cool.
