Wife and me keep talking about our shared reluctance to watch horror movies. It dawned on me though, I watched The Shinning at a drive thru as a kid, same with Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original). I also saw all of the Hell Raiser series, Nightmare on Elm Street series, most of Friday the 13th series of movies, Puppet Master series, Leprechaun series, Pet Cemetery, Needful Things, Faces of Death part 1, most of The Howling series of movies, Killer Clowns From Outer Space ... in short I reckon I seen a ton more horror movies than she has seen.
Never saw any of the Halloween series because I understood it dealt with a lot of domestic abuse, child abuse. Had that at home didn't need to go see it on a movie screen. Not seen any of the more recent horror flicks though. Not really wanting to as it seems they're skewed toward grind house & slasher gore style. Not sure I could still hold my tummy for them, and just not really interested after helping as an EMT one night on a bad car wreck. There were 11 in the car, only 1 survived and bless her little heart that little girl had to face knowing her whole family died that night. It was a rather visceral accident scene that um well frankly warped quite a few minds. Still swear her daddy talked to the little girl, despite knowing that such a thing would have not been possible, he was in no shape for that let's just say. Saw him talking to her even. He wanted to be sure she would be okay, same as any good daddy.
Still waiting for a few of the newer releases to get featured, Hulu, Vudu, Tubi, on something offering a free view on Roku. I'd really like to find Damnation show like that too. Not interested in Breaking Bad, Dexter, TWD, GoT, SoA. Yeah, I know we're strange in what we watch, consider though we're dork & weirdo, so it fits us being strange what we watch. I'd like to watch Connections with James Burke but it's not on any free view presently. Been kind of getting into Inside the Mind of a Killer show or Killers and Their Mothers. See what happens when Criminal Minds goes away? Ya boi goes into dry assed documentary about killers and forensics binge watching, or watching Hogan's Heroes so he says, "I waz not even here today, I know nutting, I see nutting."
Need something, much as I love myself, fucking myself is becoming mechanical and nullifying of that last gray cell or marble.Bah, we need more seasons of ..... FIREFLY! Although I think now, even that would not hook my interest. Got the television show and movie both here, both collecting dust. Oh well, I can write and escape into that. My happiness & entertainment can come from within like the change the Zen monk never got. Think she got lost pondering the gate-less gate.
