yeah, gory stuff freaks me out. I love super-intense stuff, though.

[Choop]

I can watch it if it's fake, like in vampire flicks and other stuff. I can't handle it if it's real, like that TLC show that used to be (?) on about surgeries.

Also, people recovering from surgery freak me out - especially facelifts. Dr. 90210? Scariest thing on the air. (partially because that dude is such a dee-bag perv-o)

Sign me up for the plus size girdle club.  Pretty much anything showing kids in danger/tragedy gets a pass from me.  I had a real visceral reaction to a Law&Order type show where an infant got left in a hot car.  I left the room and played with my daughter for a while.

I don't like movies where bad things happen to dogs. Mars Attacks! is an example of a movie that I was perfectly okay with until they killed the dog. After that, thanks for playing, seeya.

Mrs. Haus likes Law and Order: *, CSI: *, NCIS, and shows of that ilk. I can't stand 'em. Left to my own devices, to be perfectly honest, my TV viewing would be 90% sports, 10% cartoons-for-adults.

Oh, good lord.  See "Psycho."  Come on.  There is no reason not to.  The actual on screen violence is lesser than the sort of stuff you can see on TV any night.  The art is in the creation of tension, and the perfect, perfect editing.

Where were you all 23 pages ago in this thread when everyone was making fun of me for not liking blood and guts and violence?

I don't mind gore, but real-life evil bothers the hell out of me. 

Also, random shit that most people find silly, like frogs and Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown.  I had nightmares after seeing It, but not after reading the (IMHO much scarier) book.

1) Do not see my play.  Ever.

2) Tim Curry scares the hell out of me in "It."  Still does.  But he makes me laugh my ass off in this music video, as well as this one.  Seriously, in the 70's thru 80's there were places in the world where cocaine was in the air and water, I swear. (edit:  that jerky thumb dance in "Paradise Garage" gets me everytime.  A friend and I used this as a signature dance move back in the day.  Pretty fuck*ng hilarious.)

The Technical Staff made us watch Sleepless in Seattle, because he has become enamored of Seattle and wishes he could move there.

It turns out that A, there is almost NO Seattle in this movie, and B, seriously, this is one of the worst movies I ever saw. I swear, I am as big a romantic fool as the next person, but what was even romantic about this movie? Yeah, I hope they can build a great relationship based on their love of the same baseball player and the fact that this guy can wax poetic about his dead wife.

People commenting on Netflix say that they cry at the end. I cried too, but it was because I was two hours closer to being DEAD and I could never get back the two hours I'd spent watching that movie.

Damn, Wombat is bringing the strong sack in this review.

[Carlos del Vaca]

Sra. del Vaca and I went to a movie last night.  IN A THEATER.  With popcorn and everything.  And no kids.

We saw "21."  She liked it more than I did, in no small part because I read the book and I'm really into that shit, and so I noticed all the inconsistencies and the dumbing-down in the film.  But I had a good time.  Kate Bosworth is nice to look at.

If you want to scare your SO out of loving Seattle, and he is apparently not adverse to romantic comedies, have him watch "Singles."  There's plenty of Seattle in the movie, and it's nowhere near as annoying as "Sleepless in Seattle," plus it's a good reminder of the filthy Grunge era and it's fairly entertaining, at least.

[theinevitable]

yay! the filthy grunge era!

[Arachno-capitalist]

I saw a documentary on black tar heroin that was filmed partly in Seattle. So what i know about Seattle is that it has black tar heroin  and it rains a bunch. Also, Starbucks.

Thanks, I'll get right on it. He'll hate the music, which is all the better.
