Paranormal Activity

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

Are you really so sheltered you don't believe anyone could have had a childhood like that?

As for sob story, I got my tears out years ago man, I don't need any more, thanks.

But you kept pushing and insisting that everyone was scared of the same shit you were as a kid, so I figured I'd go ahead and explain to you what I was scared of, the real bogey man down the hall.

Bumps in the night don't hold a knife to your mothers throat, or punch holes in the wall.

Nah kid, I never did that. You decided to spend your internet fury points on an assumption and tried the sob story route to see if I would back down. Excuse me if I don't believe everything I read on a forum.

I'm 29 bud, but I am enjoying a sort of childhood right now, actually.

I never said I was mad though.

If you're trying to say at any point in your life, even as a child, you were never afraid of a bump in the night or a ghost story fucked with you for a couple days you're a liar.

I'm saying that shit didn't scare me, that ghost stories didn't scare me.

I'm saying terror to me involves being trapped somewhere you can't leave, with a monster roaming around.

Alien is scary.

John Carpenter's The Thing is scary.

Not knowing if today would be a good day, or a screamy stompy day, is scary.

Being 6 years old with a psycho father, knowing you can't leave, and you can't do anything to fend the asshole off, that is scary.

So wait, for all these science and philosophy debates you get into you can't mine the parity of ghost / alien / monster?

Have you read the psychological reports regarding the human nature to define the unknown and manifest it into physical representation through the form of apparitions, demons, aliens, and monsters?

So how the fuck is being scared of one thing different from being afraid of another based on the word used to define even though they all equal the same thing?

By the by, Paranormal Activity was about someone who was trapped and couldn't get away from a __________.

Would you like a refund on those internet fury points? I'll be glad to help you with that today, sir.

I knew what the monster was.

I knew it was real.

I knew it was there.

I met it, I talked to it, I knew it's fucking name. It was my dad.


In Alien, they see the xenomorph running around killing the crew.

In The Thing, they know that one of them is a monster, that it is there and appears human, yet is going to flip out and eat faces any minute.

That isn't fear of the unknown, it is fear of the known, and being trapped with it.

It doesn't occur to a 6 year old that you can get away, especially not if you feel you have to protect your little sisters and mother.

So I'm dreadfully aware of what it is like to be Ripley, or the guys in that base on the ice, stuck in series of rooms with a FUCKING MONSTER ROAMING AROUND.

Fuck, how is that hard to understand?

So, what you're telling me is, they knew the Alien and everything about it, because they could see it. It normally didn't act like this, but it started eating people and propagating its species in their chest.

Alien, wait, what's the definition of alien?

Why did they call it 'The Thing'?

Maybe because both of them are strange, unfamiliar, and unknown?

Fuck, how hard is this to understand?

Finesse shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhusssssssssssssh

[altwight]

lawl'n at the idiocy of both these nabs.

[Yuri-G]

goddamnit BG this is why we can't have nice things.

I thought it was great, though it could have been better, the pacing felt off. it was a ton of build-up for a small (but good) little payoff. at least the build-up was enjoyable. the movie's all about tension, very few moments that were outright scary, and yet it created such a realistic atmosphere that the smallest things startled the crap out of you when they happened. I can't remember ever seeing a movie where seeing floating blankets freaked me out that badly.

[Chun Liroy]

Spoiler: show

The 'scariest' part of the movie, imo, was when Katie was being dragged to the attic; it really emphasized how little control they truly had over anything that was happening, and that is the truly frightening thing, when you aren't in control.

[Seraph]

What max said. Crazy people are scary.

Also aliens are scary. Crazy aliens are worse. Crazy invisible aliens are the worst.
>:3

On topic, I didn't see the movie, but why doesn't the couple leave the house if there is a fucking demon screwing with them every night? Is there a real reason, or is it just "Otherwise there is no movie."??

[Yuri-G]

Spoiler: show

that was pretty frightening, and effective, since the overwhelming atmosphere of the whole movie was definitely one of helplessness. I felt horrible for them, knowing they couldn't even run away from the demon since it was haunting Katie, not the house, and nobody could help them. they were totally and completely fucked, and they knew it, even if they didn't want to say it

although I think the scariest part was

Spoiler: show

those moments of silence after all the screaming right before the end. because you just fucking knew it was all over at that point.

actually, there is a reason, and it quite surprisingly does not feel like a cop-out, at least not to me

Spoiler: show

the demon is haunting the girlfriend, not the house, and they go into a decent amount of detail on this subject including some childhood stories that will freak out anyone who had bedroom nightmares as a kid. as in, nightmares that took place in your own room and are usually very realistic

Seraph, you shall find your resposne in yuri-G's first spoiler

[Seraph]

99 problems but a demon ain't 1? Fair enough, I guess.

I still look under my bed after spending a whole night on quantum mechanics. You never know when the underbed monster is going to grab your feet...you can never be safe enough.


And, I cybered with Sath all the time under the pretense that I was a 12 years old girl.

True to my promise, I'm now going to kill your parents since you told people I molested you.
