*appears in a flash of blue light*

HI! Welcome to this place of strangeness - a dimension of sight and sound, but mostly of mind.

Watch out for the muffin-bearing squirrel, beware the talking box, avoid anyone in a gas mask, and be suspicious of mows or random attacks.

Have a welcome gift. *gives the new person a souvenir coffee mug*

Enjoy your stay here, where the insanity fun never stops.

*waves, and vanishes in a shower of coloured sparkles*

My grandparents are Irish, and I've always wanted to go there. Hello! Welcome to the forums, and beware of anything that looks explodey.

I don't think anyone can be bothered with Bill.  They can, however, be bothered by him. :3

Welcome, Mabfan! Come on in, enjoy yourself, relax!

Hm. Either Bill and Haz are engaged in some friendly rivalry, or some strange form of primitive mating ritual.


...dear God, let it be rivalry...

Okay, now that that's out of the way, I can give you my usual welcome present of muffins and I can be on my merry running-for-my-life way.

Eowyn watches rated R movies? Now that's good parenting. >,<

Hello Mabfan. I like Celtic-ness. Good dogs come from Celts. Like Corgi. (And Irish Wolfhounds, Collies, Irish Setters, Welsh Spaniels, and all sorts of other canine goodness... But mostly Corgi.)

Welcome to the insanity. Hope you packed a lunch.

I watched Rocky Horror Picture Show not much older than Eowyn is, and I did fi-ohwait, nevermind.

I'm just from a weird (Mormon) culture that has very little tolerance for things like that. It's what I get from growing up there. No offense to anyone - it just surprised me a little.

Personally, I watched Horse Whisperer (PG-13) when I was nine. I was scarred for a long time after. Horse flesh falling out and all infected and all.  :yuck

Kryptic is sorry if she offended anyone.  :c

No offense taken. Everyone is different. This is why it's up to the parents to clarify what they allow the child to watch - some children will watch things like, say, Lethal Weapon 4, and get the giggles. Some will watch it and get nightmares. *shrug* If Eowyn likes a particular R rated movie, then that's ok - as long as she's watching it with parental approval, and isn't upset by the troubles in it.

Besides, viewed from a particular perspective, Braveheart is a historically accurate movie, for which it should get brownie points. It wasn't very pleasant times, and we can be grateful that we live in better times. At least theoretically.

I watched heaps of horror movies when I was little. I turned out fine. :)

I watched The Thing, like, 4 years ago.  Scared the shit out of me. :cry

I can't stand horror or thriller movies. It's not the blood, guts, and gore that get me, that stuff I can handle pretty well. It's just the grotesquely scary imagy and the pants-wettin' cheap scares that jump out at you that gets me in horror, and the suspence in thrillers is usually so freaking abnormaly high I want to explode.
My sisters and I watched the movie The Ring (without parental consent or knowledge :shifty ) when my youngest sister was 7, the oldest was 10, and I was 13. I left about halfway through the movie (though my sisters both insist that I only lasted a quarter :[ ), because it scared the crap outta me. My sisters, however, loved it. They watched the whole thing, and didn't get nightmares. I watch only half (quarter if you talk to them), and I'm the one who got nightmares :sweatdrop

Every time a horror/thriller came out in theaters, my sisters begged my mom to take them to go see it. My mom always hated anything with cursing, blood, "bad" humor, ect., and was quite overzealous about it. Though she sometimes caved in and took them anyway, but usually only to the thrillers or very mild horrors.

It's so strange. Both my sisters, who are younger, can not get enough of horror and thriller. I am the oldest, and the guy, and I can not stand that crap. It makes me feel weak   :cry :crying

I saw The Ring 2 in theatres, and I was the asshole giving everything away, even though I'd never seen it, or the Ring, before. :3

Oh - Watch Disturbia. It's like a good in-between movie. It's a thriller, but it's not like nonstop-fry-your-nervous-system movie.

Kryptic gives it two paws up.

Post by: techmaster-glitch on July 03, 2007, 11:07:10 PM
Disturbia is actually one of the movies that my family recently went to watch, and offered for me to join them, but I turned down the offer :mowdizzy

Aww, why did you do that Tech-Dude? Disturbia is an AWESOME movie! Wimp.

hey, so am I. the only horror movies I can stand to watch are either the really old black and white ones that nobody understands how the hell they were ever scary, or Little Shop of Horrors, which doesn't even count.
Kind of a pity, 'cause a friend of mine just auditioned for a role in a small-time horror film, and if he gets in, I'll have to see it.

Hell, I've been given nightmares by music videos before. :rolleyes
Wimps like me shouldn't see Dir en Grey's music video to Obscure.
