Green Room - Break - Day 11

Jan 01, 2012 11:59

Welcome to 2012!!

For me, 2011 had its ups and downs, but for the most part was very much up! I started last season's New Year (and on my facebook!) with the Hold Steady song "A Positive Jam"! I'm enough of a superstitious traditionalist that I'm not going to mess with what is working ( Read more... )

day 11, green room, season 8, break

Two days? TWO DAYS??? I might have to use my bye this week - I have some stuff I need to get written for deadlines and if I allow Idol to take over my creative world, I won't have a chance of making it.

Funny how a couple of weeks off makes you all slack :oP

I got to try my hand at bell ringing today and signed up to volunteer at a local heritage site which they were very happy about - the volunteers tend to be on the elderly side so a bit of fresh blood is always welcome.

And I found Human Centipede 2 on DVD - AWESOME!!!! OK, so it's going to be edited beyond recognition, but I'm still very excited nevertheless. The original was so funny and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story continues.

Right. Off to see if red wine and story writing can mix.

Wonderful, it requires a lot of strength I believe, let us know! and good luck.

I was expecting it to, but they weren't particularly big bells so children were easily pulling on the ropes and getting them to chime. It's a deconsecrated church that's been on the site since the fifth century in one form or another, so it's pretty special but very, very small, so the bell tower only had two bells adn they weren't especially large.

How special the church has been there so long....Like the sound of it. Photos later?

I've never seen Human Centipede, but my co-workers and I have had conversations about it before. They found it very appalling. My best friend warned me to not watch it (she doesn't do horror the way I do). She said it was terribly gross.

That means... I need to watch it one of these days :p

I didn't think it was gross. But then again, it's one of those films that I watch and the entire time know that it's not real, so I just find it funny. The mad scientist is very well cast and there's one line of his that I think is hilarious because of the delivery. You should get them both and watch them in one long centipedal marathon!

I can handle "gross" horror fairly well bevause I also understand that it's fake. It's one reason that a horror movie has to have more than gore for me to get freaked out on (in a good way, of course. I always consider it a great movie if it makes me jump or chills me out, that's what I look for in a movie usually).

I also have a high tolerance for blood and stuff. I wanted to be a surgeon, I love watching real life surgeries and whatnot. So the fake stuff in scary movies certainly doesn't gross me out.

The only movie that's had any real impact on me in terms of shock factor was "Martyrs". I've been watching slasher pics for almost 35 years now - I've pretty much seen it all. So something has to be really new and inventive to get me and although Human Centipede is quite unusual, it's still your basic story of mad scientist goes on a spree. Funny but not what I'd class as the most disturbing film I've ever seen. Not by a long shot. I reckon you'll really enjoy it.
