Whiskey Wednesday--The Horror! The Horror!
I do NOT understand the appeal of horror movies. Let me explain why this has become a Whiskey rant. On Sunday, my best friend and her new cowboy (hereafter known as "idiot") came over and spent some time with me. The Idiot decided to hog the remote and watch a movie called "Rest Stop". Yup, a horror movie complete with biting off fingers and crying, pathetic heroine.
Ugh.
No protests relieved me of my torture. I left the room, but he's deaf, so I could still hear the damn movie. And I HATE horror movies. I get nightmares. The last one I watched (also due to idiot friends) was "Nightmare on Elm Street" which gave me sleepless nights for a month. I don't like gore and violence. I place "Seven" with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman in this category as well. Those movies burn the inside of my brain and mess with my head for long after the credits roll. Some people love that shit. NOT ME.
I do not get the appeal of "Saw" and "Halloween" (no matter how cool Jamie Lee Curtis is) and yet, my best friend is always trying to get me to read Stephen King.
Um no.
Why, in a world that presents us with graphic pictures of Columbine, The World Trade Center and real time pictures of war carnage do we have to have movies depicting dismemberment and blood spatter?
I don't even like the movie trailers for this shit. I've probably missed all kinds of "great" movies because I don't like to pee my pants in the movie theater unless I'm laughing.
Lefty, you can chalk this up to another one of those "unique" things that set me apart. So, this summer, you can count on me to avoid more of the blockbusters featuring chain saws, wicked claws and evil ghosts.
Rant over.
Disclaimer: No Idiots were harmed in this post, though he is VERY offended that I refer to him as "The Idiot". He's so "sensitive".
