Horror Movies

It bothers me that so many people liked "Saw" that there's a "Saw 5" now. That movie makes me sick to my stomach and I can't understand how it can be seen as entertainment... kind of like "A Clockwork Orange". I don't know if any woman can watch those painfully realistic rape scenes and only think about the underlying message of the movie. I guess I'm just a silly girl! I don't find torture entertaining, even if it isn't real. It worries me that other people are so desensitized that they can watch this and actually laugh or think it's cool. Horror movies now seem like competitions on who can make the most disgusting things happen and still get away with an R rating. No thanks! I'll stick with the "Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Hocus Pocus". Gotta love Bette Midler's face in that one!! I think I'll watch that one tonight :)

I will have to agree with you on that one. I have never been one for horror movies. Mark grew up watching them as a kid so he is use to them but I still have night mares if I watch anything scary,haha.

Josh is fine with them too... maybe it's just a guy thing. I can't stand violence! Maybe we should have a woman President ;) haha

Man, is it that bad? I mean I don't like horror movies really. I will watch the occasional zombie movie, or ghost/thriller, but not gore. My brother is absolutely insisting I watch Saw I. He uses the fact that a member from the show Lost cast is on it. Maan. I would rather watch "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" or "harry potter."

Hey, if you are up for a laugh, Shaun of the Dead is hilarious. If you haven't already seen it.

I am completely with you here. I think it is horrible to take a movie to that extent. On top of that you do have crazy people out there who think "now thats an idea" It is sick and disgusting and I feel excuses shouldn't be made even if it means disrupting the writers creativity. What happened to good judgement and taste?

I got up and left the theater when "Clockwork Orange" was showing in my day. I can't stand rape scenes. I worry that they show so much that it gives men a thrill and the ones who haven't hurt a women yet get some new ideas. Why do all the terrible things men do have to be so explicitely shown to the public?

Very bad day today

I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
