![]() I loved Toy Story 3, but watching the climactic scene where the toys were sliding towards a pit of lava and all hope seemed lost-- really, I actually thought Pixar was going to finish the series by killing the toys-- I became completely lost in the movie, and forgot things like "It is a kids movie, they would never kill the beloved toys." Were children across the nation traumatised by this movie? Or is the rule "the toy story toys will get away" just completely ingrained in their psyche... to the point where it is a stronger instinct than "sliding uncontrollably towards lava is BAD"? Do movies/TV still scare children, or are they better able to compartmentalize narratives, to be scared of real things but remember happy-ending rules than I was at the same age (I remember clearly being traumatised by, among other things the STTNG episode "Skin of Evil" and several of the darker "The Real Ghostbusters" episodes)?

![]() I think we grew up in a period where children were babied a lot compared to earlier generations. If you read some oldschool nursery tales they can be pretty violent and/or bleak in ways.

![]() Holy shit, I remember seeing that movie when I was young and it scaring the shit out of me. I've never known what it was, and was actually just thinking about it the other day. Reps.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

![]() I watched Zero Dark Thirty last night. Pretty awesome. Not really like Argo in many ways at all and Argo is definitely better.

![]() I also went and checked out Zero Dark Thirty last night. On the promoting methods of tourture, I didn't see it. That was the most difficult part of the film to watch for me. Overall, I loved it. I want to see Argo as well. I'm enjoying that Best Picture nominated movies are starting to become mainstream. Before, you never heard of half of the movies up for awards. Has anyone seen Django? I've heard nothing but great things from that flick as well.

![]() Yesterday was the first movie that was released this year I've seen I believe. I actually enjoyed the 2 1/2 hours I had by myself, and will probably do it more often on Sunday's. I'm still chapped that a matinee is only a dollar cheaper then a prime time movie slot.

![]() Prometheus was a pile of shit.
Great visuals, sure. But I don't go to the movie theater because I want a lapdance. I go to the movie theater to get fucked. And at around 20 bucks (I NEED MY REFRESHMENTS) I better get fucked good and hard. Prometheus can suck my fucking dick. But it won't; because when it comes to Prometheus, there's no sex in the champagne room. |
