Movies that scare the hell out of me. And one that didn't.

Good morning!! I had a rough time sleeping last night (up every hour or so and then it took 20 minutes to go back to sleeeeeep! Ahhhhhhhhh) so I'm cheering myself up (and possibly freaking myself out) by updating my blog!!

So you benefit from my insomnia. I never have insomnia - so weird.  I don't watch too many "scary" or "horror" flicks, cause I like when movies are entertaining. Not frightening. Why pay for someone to jump in your face and make you pee your pants?

Kenneth and I have Netflix, possibly the greatest thing ever. And yesterday we watched out DVD that was delivered, Black Swan.

Now, this movie got a LOT of hype. I thought it would be super scary like zombie-ballerina type thing. It wasn't really. I think I wanted it to be OMGAMAZING due to the reviews and people talking about it like 15 years ago when it came out (slight exaggeration on the time frame there.) 

Sidenote: Jessica clean out your downloaded picture file at work so the boss doesn't wonder why I have all these weird images.

Well, it was slightly disturbing - but it wasn't freak-me-out-stay-up-all-night disturbing. I covered my face once really early on in the movie.  I DID come up with the wrong solution to the plot, and was disappointed when it wasn't right. Cause that woulda been a way cooler ending.  I cringed waaay more when we watched 127 Hours the other day. It's the story of Aron Ralston getting stuck in a canyon and CHOPPING HIS HAND OFF WITH A DULL KNIFE. All Black Swan was was some creepy ballerina with mommy issues.

While we're talking about movies. I watched Paranormal Activity (the first one) when it was streaming on Netflix.  This was possibly the second most frightening movie ever for me. (More on the first later.) I know  people have said it's dumb.. BUT. When that chick stares at her sleeping boyfriend/fiance/husband for HOURS beside the bed. That's jacked up. The night after I watched that I could not sleep - I stayed up and watched Top Gear (the UK version, not the US one cause the US version is crap on a stick) all night and then went to work the next morning still freaking out. So.. Unless it shows up on Netflix streaming (please god no) I won't be watching Paranormal Activity two or three. (But I can't resist that instant streaming yo.)

And finally, the last two movies are HELLA old. But when I was a kid I was easily frightened and terrified. These movies still bother me today. Don't judge me. DON'T.

Jurassic Park. I was really young when this came out. Hold on lemme find out how little I was.. Research time. 1993. That means I was 9 or 10.  That's really little for HUGE SCARY DINOSAURS. My dad took me to this movie in the theaters. Now, I don't blame him. Cause taking your kid to the movies is awesome. And I probably begged him. 

But we had to leave halfway through. I think it was after that guy got eaten on the toilet.

I remember my dad taking me to McDonalds and saying that it was OK that I had asked to leave and he was kinda scared by the movie too. So that made it ok. You're cool dad.  

Ok last one. Now this movie is my all-time-terrorific-will-never-watch-ever-ever movie. E.T. : The Extra Terrestrial. Dude.

I'm getting upset just typing about it. There is NOTHING NORMAL about a cute little friendly alien who likes to play with little girls and eat skittles. NOTHING. In fact it's kind of pedo-creepy. And to make matters worse they put the house in some kind of Outbreak-type-hospital-tunnel-plastic thing. 

ahhhhhhhh...... Ok I'm going to stop talking about ET. 

Anyway. I'm done talking about movies. What movies terrify you?
