 I try to avoid disturbing films/  My goal in watching a movie is to be entertained and hopefully uplifted  not to fill my brain with  violent and or scary images that  can't be erased

So I have never seen Texas Chain Saw Massacre or The Exorcist  or Carrie or Damien or a slew of other "classic" movies... I steer clear of anything vaguely smacking of horror or violence ---


"The Changeling"  with George C Scott was a bit much for me ... I still have occasional nightmares brought on by the images in that movie

Good morning, all! 

I am stting in the middle of chaos.  Several months ago, our DR ChasSmith mentioned that he might have access to several 5-drawer fling cabinets from a closed office, if i'd like any for storage, and I accepted. So, this morning, DR ChasSmith is driving into Manhattan with these large cabinets in the back of his automobile.  I will replace two 4-drawer cabinets I have with them.

So, last night I emptied the contents of the two cabinets and they are spread all over my living space awaiting transfer to their new home. I'm giving the ld cabinets to my neighbor across the hall, so they are not moving far.  DR ChasSmith has warned me these cabinets weigh a ton, s I hope getting them from the car to the apartment can be accomplished without too much stress, hernia, or stroke.

I will spend some of my day reorganizing and putting things away.  I need to talk to my adopted son Joshie at some point about the Encores! work, which I believe can finally begin (Thank you, Jesus!), and if I need therapy after all of this exertion today, I've got therapy in the morning.

A few friends and I are going to attend that Gone With the Wind next Wednesday.  These folks were all involved in last spring's local production of Last Night of Ballyhoo, and are really up for seeing it in a theater.

As with Vixmom I also generally avoid seeing disturbing films.

But I did see Carrie because I was reviewing it.

Somehow I managed to see The Exorcist when I was 13 even though one was supposed to be 18. It did have an emotional impact on me.

Saw The Omen but didn't like it

As for "The Changeling"  with George C Scott I liked the film because it was similar to The Haunting (Robert Wise version) and The Legend of Hell House because they were more atmospheric in their scares than with blood and guts.

Find it difficult to sit for long periods of time with my knee in its current condition but if I am medicated enough I might make an attempt to  go to Frankenstein or Of Mice and Men.

No interest in seeing a musical of From Here To Eternity and I've seen Gone With The Wind many time in a cinema so I'll pass this time.

So maybe by the time they are shown things will be different

As a youngster I was disturbed by a few horror films, but I nevertheless love them -- they're a thrill ride type of thing for me.

The films that are prone to disturbing me are the type of thriller whose scary elements are within the realm of possibility of actually occurring.  Things like Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon.  Terrifying possibilities there.  And yet I love those, too!

So, certain modern-day serial killer type stuff has that power.  But so do certain quiet dramas.  A couple of days after Robin Williams had died, I just happened to pick up the Blu-ray of One Hour Photo for a song at Costco.  I'd only ever seen it on its original release, and thought it was great but I'd never returned to it.  Well, I put that Blu-ray on, more just to have a quick look than to sit through it right at that moment, and there was obviously much I'd forgotten about the events of the story.  As I used the chapter skip button to check out various scenes before moving on to something else that evening, I was stunned at the portrayal of his character, and at how every damned scene I looked at was profoundly disturbing, re the illness and the involvement with the family.  I do look forward to watching it straight through sometime soon, but I was already squirming just in having a glance at it.

Here's an odd one pulled from memory:  Deliverance really got to me in a disturbing way when it was new.  I saw it at the Cinerama Dome on a weekend afternoon with friends, and throughout that evening I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach caused by my horror of being trapped in just such a situation in a region of the country and with its people, where one could end up feeling like they're in a foreign land.  A scary foreign land.

Re the notes and Texas Chain Saw Massacre -- If I'd been attracted to seeing this back in the day, I imagine you could add it to this list.  But I wasn't, back then, maybe not for the exact same reasons as BK, but it somehow remained outside my sphere of interest.  I a DVD, which I believe I've never even looked at.  Will be happy to check out the Blu-ray at some point, though, because I suspect I, too, will end up appreciating it in historical context.
