• All of the joy of subtitles without the video to distract you

  I found a collection of videos at Film School Rejects that caught my attention. Instead of watching some of my favorite and highly quoted scenes from movies – why not read them – curious? Watch this bit from V for Vendetta.

• Creepy movies

  I’m normally not one to watch creepy movies because I’m quite jumpy. In a typical horror/suspense flick the script will call for a fake jump – you know – a random loud noise or a cat jumping into the scene to get everybody on the edge of their seats. While most people remain calm – I jump.

  I know that I’m an edgy guy so I tend to avoid movies that reveal my weakness. It has been an odd week for me because I’ve watched 5 horror movies – all with scenes that make me jump. The Aliens franchise has been good for 4 movies and I watched Hostel a few days ago. I’m sure that I’ll be on edge while in the dark for the next couple of days due to my overactive imagination – but – its the price I knew I was going to pay.

  There has been a strange commercial for a movie – named of all things – The Strangers. Jessica and I are going to steer clear of it – we talked about it and we both know that we would have a hard time walking around our own house in the dark – or the daylight. If you’re feeling adventurous and if you aren’t as easily spooked as I am watch the trailer – don’t say I didn’t warn you.
