[QUOTE=Petey] And the fact that you sit there and minimize what Blair Witch stood for, by reducing the horror to "boogy man and stick figures hanging from trees" proves that you do not want to give this film a chance. CHW, you're looking at it from a purely superficial level.[/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]Maybe I just minimized what it meant to you. It's an opinion like *** holes, everyone has one. You were obviously born with two though, so consider yourself special. As for not wanting to give the film a chance, I figured that since two of my friends who have [b]OPINIONS[/b] that I [i][RESPECT[/i] wanted to see this movie I may as well go and see what it was all about. I did give it a chance. I wasn't the only one who didn't like it. The two friends I saw it with also thought it was lacking, and they wanted to see it[/color] [quote name='Petey']You weren't going to let yourself be open to the experience in the first place. You went in there with a closed mind. You treated it like you were forced to go. You didn't want to go. How can you be surprised that you dislike a movie when you go into it with that kind of attitude?[/quote] [color=darkviolet]I usually don't repeat myself, but you're a special individual who is obviously superior to me, so I will. Like I said above, I figured since two of my friends wanted to see this movie so badly and someone's brother thought it was good, I may as well give it a shot and see if it was a good movie or a bad movie. Don't assume that you know what I was thinking five years ago because you come off sounding like a fool, which in this case you are. Besides, like I stated prior, I'm not the only one who disliked the film. Don't take your thoughts as gospel truth because they're not nor are mine for that matter.[/color] [quote name='Petey]']Are you sure that you know yourself?[/quote] [color=darkviolet]What kind of assinine question is that? Are you trying to say that now by insulting me on a computer message board because you dissagree with my thoughts on a movie you thought was a masterpiece up there with Vertigo and Gone With the Wind that suddenly you [i]know[/i] me and I don't know myself, you're more of a fool than I took you for[/color] [quote name='Petey']CHW, I'd be glad to see you prove that I'm being close-minded here. I went into Blair Witch with an open mind, ready for whatever I was going to experience. You went in there thinking the movie was crap, and you hadn't even seen it before that. Now you get on here and just outright bash the movie, refusing to entertain the ideas that the film was utilizing. When I explain it to you, you get pissy. Who is close-minded here?[/quote] [color=darkviolet]I wasn't forced to go, I went of my own free will. But the fact that I called you closed minded wasn't about the movie. It was the fact that you think you're right and I'm wrong based on the fact that I don't agree with you. That's why I'm saying you're narrow minded person. Not to mention presumptuous since you think you can tell me what was going through my mind. I am not bashing a movie as you so eloquently put it. I was staing an opinion that I have. That I still have. I saw Blair Witch with my brother after I went to see it with my friends and I still didn't find it to be a psychological horror. I didn't refuse to do anything so quit acting like you know me so well. And of course I'm getting pissy. The first reply to this subject was you and instead of stating your opinion on something, you bashed me which was completely uncalled for. You acted like you were friggin' Ebbert and Roper up here and I didn't kow anything. You put me on the defensive. Take your head out of your butt and put yourself in my place for a minute. How well do you like being told that you're wrong about everything? Grow up[/color] [quote name='Petey']No, CHW. It's one thing to have an opinion. It's another thing to have a completely uneducated opinion .[/quote] [color=darkviolet]PT, maybe you should rephrase that to it's one thing to have an opinion, it's anpther thing to have an opinion which differs from yours. Since the only reason you put me down is because I didn't like what you did.[/color] [quote name='Petey']You obviously don't take informed insight seriously, so why should I bother?[/quote] [color=darkviolet]I take informed insight very well, which is why I'm completely ignoring your ranting and raving about how I'm an idiot and you're the master of he universe. The only reason someone like you bother's ranting on and on about himself is because you have some sort of infirority complex. Now lay this to rest and focus on the real topic[/color]

[color=darkviolet] another stange quirk of mine is whenever I talk I use my hands. Doesn't matter where i am or how I'm talking to a person, I wave my hands aroun like a propeler. I was talking to a friend of mine on the phone once and smacked my mom in the face because of this habitual behavior. Also, I have bad bouts of hysterical laughter in the worst places. True story of one time: This past December I was at my aunt's wedding and my husband leans over and whispers, 'wouldn't it be funny if after every verse the choir bahhed' Suddenly I pictured people withSheep's heads and began laughing, I bit my lip and began to snort. I did it once at school too during play practice when a girl was having trouble feeling sad. A friend of mine said to think about something sad, like fluffy dying. I don't know why but hearing Fluffy's dead made me giggle, it still does for that matter. :laugh: [/color]

[color=darkviolet] I didn't know they still had that thing at all! I stopped watching Cartoon Network in general after Tenchi, Gundam Wing, and SailorMoon were taken off the air. I have to work in the mornings so I can't very well stay up until 1:00Am watching repeats of InuYasha. The whole place has gone down hill I guess. Maybe too much TV really does rot your brain and these poor peopel are right in the middle of it. Oh well, so long to an era.[/color]

[QUOTE=Petey][size=2][/size] [size=2]You didn't understand the hype? You didn't understand the purpose of the film. Blair Witch was not the Freddy Krueger or Child's Play of horror films. It never intended to be anything like that. Those people who said it was so scary did not mean "jump out at you" scary. Friends of mine slept with the lights on or didn?t sleep at all after seeing it, because Blair Witch is psychological horror. It attacks our subconscious; it targets those primal human fears of isolation and abandonment. And considering that we never see the killer at all, only shadows and fragments of a physical presence, we cannot disregard Blair Witch simply because there?s no maniac with a chainsaw coming after us. It is focused on the fear of the unknown, a quality of literature and entertainment dating back to The Epic of Gilgamesh. You just didn?t allow yourself to be open to the experience. Don?t write the film off because of a fault of your own.[/size][/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet] By hype I meant, why did everyone think the cinamatography was so great. Give me Alfred Hitcock films any day. Maybe it's just that classic horror appeals to me more than some girl panting into a camera. Big deal that your friends slept with the lights on, maybe they just have hyper active imaginations, or maybe they sat up higher in the movie theater. Either way, no two people think the same. Maybe I just fear different things than the boogy man and stick figures hanging from trees. As for not allowing myself to open up, how the hell do you know what I was thinking? Do you know me, were you in the same theater as me? Don't fault my opinions because of some closed mindedness of your own.[/color] [quote name='petey][size=2']I suggest that you come back with three different films that you actually understand.[/size][/quote] [color=darkviolet]I suggest you learn what an opinion is and then come back and discuss such things in a civilized manner.[/color] [QUOTE=Molleta][color=green]Chibihorsewoman, you've named three of my favorite movies in recent years. I think all of those movies are absolutely marvolous, especially The Hours. I think it's a beautiful film representation of the human ability to cope, or lack thereof. All of the acting is wonderful and the set design is great. I think PT adequately covered the other two... .[/color][/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]Like I said, it's all in opion. Everyone doesn't like the same things. I like comedy and one of my favorite movies is Divine Secrets of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood. (I also like Fried Green Tomatos). I don't go to a movie to think, I go to a movie to relax. Who knows, maybe if I had gone to an earlier showing with a different person I would have been able to grasp the situation instead of wanting to read the book. Like I explained, I was preoccupied with other topics (bills, roommate, the sinking feeling that Bush would invade Iraq soon) so peicing together where the three woman's lives intercepted wasn't what my mind was up to that day. But I did think the sets were amazing. But my mind just wasn't in the right place to watch something that involved thinking. I have to agree with you on Dardevil though. Perhaps with a better choice as the headliner it could have done better. *shrugs* But the world will never know.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Well, in your opinion at least since everyone has ideas of what's good and what should be burned in some kind of ceromony. Make sure to give reasons don't just say, it sucked. Why did it suck? [b]Choice one: Blair Witch Project[/b]: I don't understand all the hype with this movie. So many peopel thought it was so scary. The only thing that scared me was the fact that I paid money to see the movie and was out voted by two of my friends who [i]wanted[/i] to see Blair Witch. :rolleyes: Watching it gave me motion sickness. My friends both thought it was bad as well. It was so bad that after the movie we drove over to where Amanda's (one of the two I went with) brother worked and called him out for telling us it was good. Then they got a big I told you so from me, I am so not modest. [b]Choice two: The Hours[/b]: Sure, it won an award for best something, but I sure didn't vote that way. That was the first movie I ever began to sleep through and actually didn't grasp. Maybe it was due to the fact that I was tired and thinking of how to eliminate my roommate. Maybe it was because my mind was on something else entirely (hey, it [i]was[/i] Valentine's day). But everyone had talked up this movie. And I had waited so long to see it in Killeen. And then Lincoln bought tickets for the showing. And it was such a let down. We walked out, got our money back and saw Dare Devil the next day. [b]Choice Three: Adaptation[/b]: The only good part of that movie was when the two people were eaten by that crocodile in Florida and I didn't even [i]watch[/i] that part. The preveiws made it look interesting. And since it was a NIck Cage movie Lincoln had to see it. I think the plot was a guy writing a book on a lady who grew orchids and it got a bit messy. Thank Goddess we rented that one! So there are my three choices. I may come back with more later :flaming: [/color]

[color=darkviolet]Do you have any kind of strange habits that you'd care to share with the rest of the group? Do you're eyes twitch when you have to do a presentation? Does your face change color when asked emberassing questions? Do you talk to your cat and wait for her to meow in response? Well...maybe not the last one, but amuse somebody. Myself-well, I'm a fountain of emberassment. When I first meet someone I either talk a mile a minute or get really quiet. I totally annoyed my husband's best friend with that quirk. He still thinks I'm obnoxious after 4 years. I think it's just him. I also start a million things (stories, cleaning, laundry, sentences) and don't finish them until I deem it necessary, Which is probably a bad thing. So, what about all ya'll. (Oh yeah, did I mention that despite being born and raised in Western NYS I have a bad habit of slipping into a southern accent which gets heightened when I talk to any of my friends from TExas? Well, I do)[/color]

[color=darkviolet]No, not that video game console from the 80's sicne some of you may have been thinking about that, I mean the band the Ataris. Has anyone besides me heard of them. The first time I heard their music was a remake of Boys of Summer by Don Henly. They sang pretty well, I downloaded the music video from the song adn they didn't look too bad either. They've been out for a couple of years. The first CD they came out with was Look forwards to failure, their latest is So long Astoria (which has boys of summer and My reply on it). So, does anyone else listen to their music and have an opinion?[/color]

[quote name='ScirosDarkblade']yes, I am an evil warlock .[/quote] [color=darkviolet] You do know that Warlock is an old scottish word meaning oath breaker right? Uh err... Anyway, if you just want to look up the history of a certain Goddess, I'd go for the old stand by-books on Mythology. However, if you want to try more, your public library can be a big help to you on finding books on NEw Age religion (yes, it's old, but they call it new go figure). Hey, I managed to find a big Book from Ray Buckland about teh history of Witches, Witchcraft and Paganism in Killeen, TX (Bible Belt) I think you can do it too. Basic history of Witchcraft. You can try anything from books on the Salem Trials to books about the entire history of witch craft-you can even find out why people thought of Male witches as Warlocks (he he he) and the whole deal with brooms and black cats. (I bleached mine so she;s not all black any more!) Oh, and if you really want to freak out some nuns in school-ask for the Satanic Bible by Anton LeVay.

[color=darkviolet]From what I've seen in the theaters along with what I've been able to read in comic books, there are differences in the movies, even if they are based on Comics. Correct me if I'm wrong (It happens sometimes) but In the comic books of the Hulk there is no mention of the guy's father killing his mother. However in the movie [spoiler]The guy s who's the Hulk has a flash back of his father killing his mother. Then he kills his father[/spoiler] Well, that's all I have for I have no idea what.

[color=darkviolet] I was introduced to new slang a few weeks ago when a friend of mine said something strange. I told her she had issues and she said, yes, I have shoes. Now we use it whenever someone decides to tell us we have issues. Ex: CRP: You have issues CWH: *looks down at her feet* YEs I have shoes. Okay, maybe that's not slang, but like I said, my friends are much more scarier than your friends. Most of my friends have children and have known me for a few years. If that explains anything.[/color]

[quote name='shikonjewel777][COLOR=DarkRed'] :rolleyes: I really wanna see Brittany Spears get off the charts and out of the music world!! :flaming: [/COLOR][/quote] [color=darkviolet]I'd like to see Brittany go to some over seas country (like Canada :laugh: ) and stay there until all the over hype dies down. If that doesn't work, she can always be the first to try out life on Mars. However, life isn't that good to me right now. Most of the bands I listen to that aren't country don't make it on the charts, but I don't really care too much. Caring what other people think about your music is liek caring about what other people think about your underwear. Meaning it really doens't matter since you like the music. Well, I've said my peice I hope you enjoyed it.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I haven't seen this movie yet and I really don't plan to. My reasoning behind this is simply, I have a very squeamish stomach. I don't wish to bother the movie theater staff with my bodily functions. Lincoln wanted to see The Passion while we were down in Texas before he went to Iraq merely to veiw it as a documentary. What can I really say about my husband except that he's a very... special individual :laugh: However, when we went to the only movie theater in Killeen and for that matter in a forty mile radius-it was sold out until monday so we saw Mooseport. In conclusion, if given a choice between seeing The Passion or hearing about the Passion, you'd find me at my parent's church Good Friday. :laugh: [/color]

[color=darkviolet]Well, I broke down back in March and bought both the first and second season of Sailor Moon the first season was $95.88 + .8% sales tax, second season was $114.88 +8% sales tax. When I bought the first season I also had to buy a DVD player since the one I had was in Iraq. I got mine for $39.99 + .8% sales tax at Best Buy. The best deal I got on an anime Video was $3.95 for an Ayashi no Ceres dubbed episode video since the comic store was getting rid of them. Prior to that was two subbed videos of SailorMoonS that I got for $9.00 each at the PX at Ft. Gordon. I paid $10.00 for a used SailorMoonSs DVD. Good condition too. As for Manga, I like the buy one get one 1/2 off that Media Play has, but I usually pay full price as usual. I don't really have an estimate on how much total all my anime and manga are worth. However, I think it's far over $600.00 since I have so damn many DVDs.[/color]

Besides, they both talk. Also, Sesshomaru looks kind of Like Artemis in human form so there wouldn't be too much of a chaneg and Artemis can go after Kore Neko from Trigun since it kind of looks like Luna.[/color]

UGH!!! :P[/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]The closest thing SailorMoon has to pornography is when the girls transform into senshi. SailorMoon and SailorChibiMoon don't even have the lines drawn in for their breasts and butt. After seeing LaBlue Girl, I hardly find that offensive I've seen pretty much every episode,special and movie. There's no sex. The worst thing your mom might see in the R season box set is the scene in the beginning of episode 70 something when the senshi are on crosses.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Let's see: [b]A cute girl[/b] That depends on the manga or anime character you like. For the usual cute girl I'd have to go with any of the inner senshi from Bishojo Senshi SailorMoon. Especially Aino Minako since she just enbodies the whole idea of cuteness and bubblyness even with everything she's been through. However, if you want the not so stereotyped cute girl I'd pick MOmo Adachi from Peach Girl. She's a bit insecure because of how she looks, but she's tough (she got into a big fight with three girls in the first book [spoiler]and she stabbed Kiley's brother in the ear[/spoiler] along with other things) and she's very athletic (swim team) and even if she's not that academically inclined (ever see the pictures of her report card?) She did perform CPR on Kiley and is a bit self sacrificing. [spoiler]She breaks up with Kiley because he still has some feelings for Misao[/spoiler] Okay [b]The Bad *****[/b] I really want to say all the Witches 5 from Bishoujo Senshi SailorMoonS. Especially Mimmet and Tellu. Case in point: The basic requirement for any bad ***** is you have to reach teh top no matter what, right? Well, who better proves that than a villain. Even better a female villain since everyone seems to think that guys are always worse than girls. Mimmet [spoiler]cut eudial's breaks on the van after she took the assignment away from her. As well as putting snails in her locker, tacks in her slippers and leaving notes like: Snail lady shall crash and die[/spoiler] If that isn't nasty, I don't really know what is. Tellu pulled the plug on Mimmet literally. She got rid of her opponent to get the top spot in the business and had plants to do her bidding. True [spoiler]she got eatten by her own plant[/spoiler] But she was still vindictive. Which brings us to [b]imposing villain[/b] Nakago from Fushigi Yugi definately fits this description. I think he's even scarier than Naraku and his unnatural ability to produce off spring. This guy managed to trick Yui into fighting her best friend. [spoiler] hypnotize Tamahome with earrings and some potion which almost got himj to kill off another Suzaku warrior[/spoiler] He can do his own work but stil doesn't hesitate to make others do it for him. Of course he did whip Tamahome by himself, he got another one of the Seiryuu seven [spoiler] to kill Nuriko :bawl: [/spoiler] he doesn't even care if he loses any or all of his warriors. The guy is ruthless. I'll get back with the rest tomorrow, my butt hurts from sitting and I'm tired[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I didn't really like the OVA of Vampire Princess MIyu either. I never understood what was going on and I watched 6 consecutive episodes. It made my head hurt to watch the 2nd episode but I kept thinking it might get better. Another one I didn't really like was Sakura Diaries. The plot was a bit crazy for me. A girl is in love with her cousin. Her cousin is posing as a student from Tokyo U but he's really trying to pass the entrance exams and then the guy gets a crush on a female student. Whatever. Incest frightens me-even with CHibiUsa.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]This topic was being discussed on Ricky Lake this morning so I sat and watched and heard people complain about medicating their children. I'm sort of on the fence about medicating a child for ADD (Attention deficite disorder) or ADHD (Attention deficite hyper activity disorder) since sometimes the meds can become addictive. Other times the medication will stay in the child's bloodstream and do nothing to help. I have ADD, but it's not too bad, The worst thing that happened was in the public elementary school I went to before my parents switched me over to the private school I went to. However, they didn't decide I had ADD until 2nd grade (my pediatrician, the one I had since I was three did it.) I don't think it's done anything to hurt me socially, I never really gave a damn about fitting in, and I still don't. I think it's stupid to think that somethng so minor in some people yet so intense in others will inhibit your ability to succeed in a normal existance. My husband has ADHD. It hasn't hurt him either. Well, atleast not that I know of. I think the person I know of who has been worse affected by having ADHD would be my brother. Or maybe more accurately, my mother since she had to deal with everyone thinking that my brother was a bad kid since he was brought into our family as a foster child. My grandma told her that my brother at age three needed and exocercism becasue he was so hyper. Another relative told someone that she shouldn't let her son play with my brother because he was a troublemaker. Well, that's it from me. I was going to bring up this topic prior to seeing it, but I guess I was too slow. PS, Winter is right tho. At times some peopel just look for a quick fix for their children's miss behaivior and blame it on a behavior disorder instead of just a behavior problem. Or in his friend's case, an ear infection. Parents and pediatricians should look into other options before assuming that the child has ADD or ADHD. The best way in my opinion to test this is give the child caffeine. If the child gets even more hyper, it's something else, but if the child gets tired, it could be either ADD or ADHD. [/color]

[color=darkviolet]Well, I didn't send out petitions or anything, but I did sign one a few weeks ago. The city school budget has always been way off, They've had to cut back on school programs, school equipment and school safety. And now since November '03 they've been talking about getting rid of the nurses in the schools. Monroe county has since decided that the city is not responsible for having the nurses in the schools and now New York hasn't bothered to pass a budget on time...again. So the kids are pretty much screwed over since none of them are allowed to even carry asprin or Pamprin in their bags and now can't get perscriptions they need to take. But I did sign a petition saying we should keep the nurses in tyeh schools and cut the saleries of the superintendants[/color].
