I dunno. I used the online I Ching to ask "Will I ever be able to deal with horror movies like a normal person?" (Since the topic was on my mind.) And this was my answer:
You are working at cross-purposes with another. The distance between you is very wide. The gap can be closed, however, with no compromise of your integrity. You are not adversaries in this case -- just two persons addressing individual needs. Ask yourself: are these needs mutually exclusive? Is there common ground here? Must there be one winner and one loser? Could you become partners in seeking a solution that would allow for two winners?
Soooooo...I have to find common ground with the director of the Saw movies, is what I'm hearing.
Intriguing.
Ask yourself: are these needs mutually exclusive?
Yes.
Is there common ground here?
No.
Must there be one winner and one loser?
Yes, Saw pwns Teppy's psyche.
Dang!
That's okay. I Ching says you should stay away from Saw movies, and even Saw wikipedia entries. I think this is sound advice.
I personally need to stay away from John Cassavetes movies.
Or, really, just the descriptions of them, as I truly can't watch them. The descriptions alone are enough to genuinely traumatize me like something actually happened to me. The first time I was dumb enough to Wikipedia the Saw movies, I honestly was upset literally every waking moment for like a month
This happened to me when I decided to watch the trailer for The Human Centipede. I was disturbed for a week.
Gah! Tied in the 8th.
The fucking Panda giveth and the Panda taketh away.
Also: Romo! I disapprove of your performance!
You can even do it online.
Bookmarked. We'll see how it goes.

You're moving into a new place. So you've got a lot of decisions coming up.

Uh. I can't even handle reading the name of that movie. (Which, not your fault, don't bother to edit, seriously, because I gotta get over it.) If it were actually possible to erase knowledge, I wish I had never, ever, wikipediaed that fucking movie. I'm still deeply bothered by it, and it's been probably 6 weeks.
t edit
I know the mentally healthy response is to laugh at the ludicrousness of it, but -- Jesus Christ. And I can't even come up with a way to warn people off of wikipediaing it without getting into the horrifying stuff. Bah.
On the plus side, while somebody thought up the Human Centipede, it doesn't really exist.
On the down side, some tin pot dictator in some horrible little country is
trying
to figure out how to do it. But first they'll focus on cloning themselves.
