Scary movies :( Options

[Maccabee]

Well nobody really enjoys scary movies but I particularly despise them. I never wanna see them. the thing is my "girl" likes to think otherwise. She also wants to see one just so she can jump in my lap but im gonna be more scared then her. How can look not scared or not even look at it but still be able to look at her with a confident face and react at the appropriate "scary scenes". Because i was thinking about something like, secret earplugs and closing my eyes but... I dont think its gonna work.


I know im a pansy...


but this date needs to go well.

[none345678]

Do the popcorn trick that way you will be so distracted you will keep from pissing your pants.

[Teesa]

i LOVE scary movies haha. but i get scared super easily too, so when i'm watching them, sometimes i'll just focus on just one spot on the tv so it looks like i'm watching but i'm not really haha. that sounds completely ridiculous, but it helps because you're not directly looking at the screen.

but if you really need this date to go well, ask her what scary movie she wants to watch, then you should rent it and watch it ahead of time by yourself so you'll know where the scary parts are. that way, on your real date, you'll look super cool by not looking scared lol =) this strategy won't work well if it's a movie in theaters.

Good idea! Ill just look at the corner! And even though I dont usually do this kind of thing I could download a movie even if its in theatres to watch it. And we have to watch a movie in theatres cause her dad doesnt even approve of her going on dates so technically she is seeing a movie with her girlfriend...

[none345678]

If one is at the movies with one's date, proceed to buy a extra large bucket of popcorn and place it on his lap during the movie. Cut a hole in the bottom of the bucket, and proceed to stick your bare penis in the hole (preferably bonered). When your date reaches in to grab popcorn, she will be delighted.

Holy crap, I laughed so hard!
To bad she is 5 years away from that being legal

[none345678]

It's only illegal if she screams.

And does anyone have any "move" tips in the movies? And she realy likes me so she wont mind any sort of "cuddlng".

[Mikeplyts]

Abbey, the popcorn trick won't work in this situation.

i like Teesa's idea. it could work in the theater too. i look away when really gross stuff happens. pretend you got a text or something. but if scary movies really bother you and you don't think you're gonna be able to handle it just don't see a scary movie. if she's mad she'll get over it. it's just a movie.

But a scary movie will be her excuse to just in my lap and cuddle with me which I know she will, since it's just a first date and I dont believe in kissing on the first date.
But I think either the second or third date should be a romantic movie so I can hopefully bust a movie at the right moment.

[-DressYourEyelid...]

gauge your eyes out. the movie will hardly be scary at all if you can only hear and not see.

seriously though, don't go if you're not going to enjoy it. maybe you guys can compromise and find a happy medium.

lol not really, i usually get a lot more scared if i can hear it. seeing it is no biggie to me.

[Maccabee]

^oic!
So maybe ill just bring headphones and put it in the ear of the side she isnt on and put my head against her shoulder. haha. Or I could just man up and watch it!

But I probably will look to the corner or make my eyes out of focus when I get scared.

Holy crap, that hilarious
And now I know how that warning system works!

I c dat you saw wat I did dare

[ley]

Just stare at her the whole time and forget about the movie. Tell her shes distracting. She will feel special, and you wont have to watch the movie. win & win

[datass]

^hahaha that is so cute. but wouldn't she feel awkward being stared at?

[Maccabee]

I thought about it but I figured she would feel awkward. haha. I'm not on of those poem writing romantic type guys. although be romantic is great being gay isnt.

But i mean we could just sit in the back and talk. Cause I would rather sit and talk then watch a movie.

[Teesa]

lol not really, i usually get a lot more scared if i can hear it. seeing it is no biggie to me.

me too! i always cover my ears when i watch one because those false alarm scares or whatever due to the creepy music is scary.

lol the reason i said the theater would be harder is because the screen is soo big so no matter where you look, you're going to get a good glimpse of whatever's going on. but i think looking toward the bottom of the screen is better than the corners. taking your eyes out of focus is a good trick too.

btw, do you know what movie it's going to be?

Idk, she just said she wanted to see a scary one. So Im guessing she will want to see orphan which looks like the freaking scariest movie ever and im gonna piss my pants the whole time we watch it if she wants to watch it! But dont you have to be 17 to watch an R? So maybe all our problems are solved! Since we are under the age limit we will have to see a pg-13! And even if it is still a horror film a pg-13 one wont be as bad.

[Teesa]

ooh i want to see that one. they always make movies more scary with little children lol. it kinda looks like the omen movie, except they used a girl. but anyways, if it is rated R then you're fine! haha, i don't know of other scary movies that are out right now though.

[smash]

i knew when they first showed the little girl in the trailer that she was evil. pale little girls with dark hair are never any good in movies.

Dude, I LOVE scary movies. The gorier the better. I love campy horror(think Evil Dead series). You have to look past the "scary" and enjoy the silliness of it.

My suggestion is to rent as many "scary" movies as possible and have yourself a marathon. Hopefully you'll evolve from scary movie pussy to scary movie master.

[smash]

Hopefully you'll evolve from scary movie pussy to scary movie master.

LOL good advice. eventually he'll get over it.

[Maccabee]

Haha, I think ill try that then. I mean I love the adrenaline, and I keep telling myself its not real but Im just too weak... And then I am scared to walk around at night, and I start carrying knives with me.

[smash]

that's the key: keep telling yourself it's not real. make fun of it. scary movies don't scare, they startle me. some may even creep me out, like Amityville Horror, the recent one. don't watch that one. i don't do the true story/ demon movies.

[Teesa]

^that one closet scene with the babysitter scared me! but woowww, ryan reynolds

Haha, I think ill try that then. I mean I love the adrenaline, and I keep telling myself its not real but Im just too weak... And then I am scared to walk around at night, and I start carrying knives with me.

^aw. my parents used to tell me that there are video cameras and producers and directors everywhere so everything is fine lol. but it's a lot harder to think about that kind of stuff during the movie.

ohh it also helps to watch something fun or funny right afterward to get your mind off of it. and if it's a dvd, it's nice to watch the behind the scenes extra stuff so you can see how they made it scary. it helps :)

and rebs, i haven't seen any of the evil dead movies. are they any good? i'm more into the psychological+gore scares like the first saw movie (the rest are soo garbage).

[smash]

^i agree about the Saw movies. i stopped after 2. that scene where the drug dealer pushed that one chick in the whole with all the glass syringes grossed me out and made me mad at the same time. you know they're making up to 9 movies that will be released every year on halloween?

[superstitious]

Teesa, I think that they're great. It's Sam Raimi, pre Spiderman. They are among the most funny and ridiculous movies I've ever had the pleasure of watching over and over again. I really recommend them, not because they're brilliantly made, but because Raimi allows the audience to have absolutely decadent pleasure in watching the films.

They're not at all psych/gore though, so I can't guarantee that you'll have the same sentiment.

On the subject of psych/gore/thriller, I strongly recommend Wait Until Dark, with Audrey Hepburn. It is a classic.

I KNOW, that scene is crazy and just makes you wince. that's a good movie to stop at though. the third one was okay, but the fourth one had like no clear plot that i could follow and i didn't even watch the fifth one. 9? ridiculous. they just know people will still watch it even though they are so silly now. they've lost any interesting plot lines that they used to have and now are thinking only of how sick and bloody they can make them.

okay, i'm gonna go rent those. i need some scary movies to watch.

wait is that movie the one with the robbers? and the last scene where you think the guy is dead but he's not and tries to grab her?

[superstitious]

It's been a long time, but that's not how I remember it. The story is based on a doll being stuffed with drugs, and these thugs are trying to get to it. Hepburn's blind character inadvertently winds up with the doll in her apartment.

[datass]

that's the key: keep telling yourself it's not real.

that is why i hate those 'based on real story' stuff.

[smash]

^me too. i also do the thing where i watch a comedy or something before i go to bed. i should just stop watching those kinds of movies before i go to bed.

OH. jk then :) but i do remember her being blind. <-i don't think spoiler tags were necessary, but i like using them anyway.

[iExquisite]

i adore them!

Drag Me To Hell

[Mikeplyts]

^not scary at all.

[iExquisite]

idk but it was a great movie though

[Mikeplyts]

How do you not know if you watched it?

[iExquisite]

what i meant was it wasn't the scariest movie ever but it was worth watching
it got great reviews!

[Maccabee]

so im in a predicament...I wanna see a scary movie so we can be close, but I was gonna ask her out on the first movie. And It would be weird to do that in a scary movie. And then for the second movie we could watch something romantic, and the rest is history...so im not sure which way round I should do it.

[res8zenith]

go with her choice first, SCARY
and insteand of romantic, try teen Comedy or some fantany fiction crap,
horror and comedy have a good twist, but horror and romance..ehh you're thinking about a shortcut which will end all your hopes and dreams! MUAHAHHAHHAHa -_-

stick to horror, your a man, you can handle it! sum good ideas/excuses:
-drink all the soda, "shit, all out, i'ma get some more"
-alternative to above: pee break
-sit next to an annoying family with loud children, they'll keep your mind off
the scary parts in the movie
-IF YOU HAVE TO SCREAM: chuckle and start laughing RIGHT AFTER before your girl grabs her little pink purse. (girlly scream prefered cuz than it'll be like you WERE FAKING THE SCREAM) (seen this work only 2 times)
-hungry: ask the lady if she wants to snack, yes no, either way, you make an excuse and run when you sense a scary part coming.
-Touching: don't even try if you know you're gonna shake or jult even a little. its gonna be hard explaining why you slaped her "by mistake".
-Theater sound is always scary, haven't tried this: wear jacket with hoodie up and bring an ipod

Very useful! I normally always pee before I go to the movie, but if I get to leave the theater at least twice during the movie I dont think it will be scary. And good idea about the touching. But odds are, if she grabs my hand ill be thinking more about, her then the movie.

[Mikeplyts]

when are y'all going to go see the movie? Get this over with dood.

[smash]

^for real. did you decide what movie you're gonna see? is it Orphan?

[Mikeplyts]

^ oh god. I really want to see that. O_O

[smash]

i do too but if they keep revealing stuff in the trailers on tv i'm not even gonna bother.

[Mikeplyts]

^word.

All I need to know is that she's a evil little white girl. O_O

[smash]

lol. that's how i knew it was a scary movie. the moment they showed the shot of the pale little girl with dark hair i was like, "she's evil, leave her there."

[Mikeplyts]

IKNORITE.



little children are great to use in scary movies, imo.

[smash]

they're so good at it. i would never let my child take a role in a movie like that though.

[Mikeplyts]

definitely. me neither.

I don't want my kid to be scared by all the kids in his/her class, rofl.

[smash]

and how is it okay for a child to be in a movie that he/she technically isn't allowed to see?

[Mikeplyts]

woah, good point. 1 point for that one.



Her parents probably just want the money.

[smash]

i bet they do. it seems so unfair for the parents to just do what they please with all their children's money. i would definitely save the money for my child to spend when he/she is more responsible and put away enough for a pretty hefty college fund.

[Mikeplyts]

Exactly.

[smash]

it comes out next week right? i'm definitely seeing it.

[Mikeplyts]

yeah, it comes out on the 24th. I'm going to go see it with a lovely little lady. ;)

[smash]

oh nice. i don't know if i'm going with anyone yet. my friends have issues with getting back to me before the last minute.

[res8zenith]

not only is that movie NOT SCARY BUT SO DAMN FUNNY! guys are silly, i love scary movies! but i hate theaters xD so i'll be waiting for it to come on DVD

orphan is for panzies!
try watching the horsemen or the unborn
unborn is kind of cute, horsemen must watch

[Maccabee]

when are y'all going to go see the movie? Get this over with dood.

O, she gets back from idaho august 5th. The wait is killing me.
But the whole "first date" thing isnt as big of a deal at my age. We both like each other and she will probably be more nervous then me.

[smash]

do you even know what comes out around that time? i think you're a little ahead of yourself.

[Maccabee]

Ya I know. But im a teenager who likes a girl. Would you expect any less?

[smash]

yes. don't psych yourself out. just enjoy the thrill.

[res8zenith]

aww how cute, lil nervous couple NOT!

[Maccabee]

hmmm...I should have rephrased that.
Im not gonna be nervous. About the movie yes. The date, no.

[res8zenith]

sure you can act all tough, but wait til the moment

whoever heard of someone SCARED of the movies?

[Maccabee]

whoever heard of someone SCARED of the movies?

me.

[Mikeplyts]

orphan is for panzies!

why so mean? D:

[res8zenith]

hows that mean?

[Mikeplyts]

you were calling people who are (or might be) scared of The Orphan (me and Ashely) pansies and that's not very nice. D:

[res8zenith]

aww i'm sorry, didn't mean to be mean, my bro is scared of its preview xD
so i understand, just got carried away is all but its not a classic horror film

it looks funny, i idea, i mean that lady standing there...wtf, kill the kid or get cleaning.

[Mikeplyts]

lol..
