1408, possibly the scariest thing on earth
 

I've been in the Marine corps for 6 years. I've had terrorists shooting at me with AK-47s and RPGs, I didn't flinch.

I've been hunting alone in the Alaskan wilderness and had a bear bum rush me, wasn't even almost scary.

I was attacked by 6 members of the most violent gang in Anchorage, it was painful, but not scary.

I was watching 1408 alone at night by myself, just like I always do. About a fourth into the movie I had to turn the lights on.

20 minutes later I had to go sit at the back of the room so nothing was behind me.

20 minutes after that I had to go get my gun, so I sat in the back of the room, with the lights on, with a pistol clutched in my hand throughout the rest of the movie.

That is some scary shit, I thought I lacked the fear emotion untill now.

not much of that makes sense, I think you're crazy...

Maybe you should lay off the horror...or yknow, the crack, unless you wanna end up shooting one of your neighbours in the face, nutjob.

That's too bad, because had you left the movie on, you would have realized how incredibly lame it turned out to be.

Egg, meet face.

The Baby Seals?

... Someone needs to invent a user-registration filter system that detects how utterly useless someone is before they are allowed to sign-up.

pussy........................

Scary?

Oh boy.

You should leave now, while you still can.

(No Pun Intended)

Dude, that says more about The US marine corps, hunting in Alaska and gangs of Anchorage, than it says about horror movies..

Stick to cartoons.

I'm starting to like you more. I think I'll keep you.

Ooooo! I smell a little HDC romance a'brewin'!

Smells like shit doesn't it? :D

Haha, no comment. :D

I honestly hope no one questions why people don't stick around here after replying to the guy like that. Maybe it was the lack of anything definitely threatening that got to him? Because there wasn't a direct assailant/antagonist in the film the usual response didn't kick in for him? Lots of possibilities there.

I don't happen to think it was terribly scary, myself. A good concept, yes. But that's my opinion. He's entitled to his. :rolleyes:

its natural selection here at HDC. only the fittest survive.

MothMan is correct.

If you can't handle the heat when you get here, you might as well pack your username and leave.

We want people that know what horror really is.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Don't get me started....

How does a gun protect you from a movie?

PTSD

Get started neverending.

@Roderick

Maybe it keeps you safe in case the girl from The Ring winds up in 1408 and decides to come out of the TV....Like that would ever happen. :p

"Romance," "stalking," take your pick. :p

Cheers.

Generally I try to be the diplomat when it comes to Forum Nastiness, but, honestly, I've really started to lose my patience with... people over the years... You've come to a public forum. You KNOW that people are going to read what you write.

So if you're going to be a moron, douche, perv, asshole, idiot, jackass, twit, debauchee, degenerate, TOOL, WHATEVER... You should be prepared for the consequences.

Somebody ban this troublemaker. :cool:

Um. Wow. I totally thought this was Last Seen Movie, and... yeah..... X_X

Eeeerh....... okay..

I think I love you.

He was attempting to connect with people over scary movies. So he didn't choose the best method to do it....seeing as he has no way at all of understanding the social dynamic that goes on here, immediately crucifying him out of the gate really ain't gonna change that.

Anyway, I imagine I have now become one of the aforementioned morons or douche bags for pointing this out, and I'm going to follow it up with the observation that it isn't survival of the fittest so much as a people being brave under the anonymity of the internet hammering their opinions over the head of another. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. So is the other guy. The fact that in the time I've been here I've seen more comments about how stupid people are or their opinions are than actual discussion about movies is very telling.
Enjoy yourselves. This obviously isn't the place for me.

Bye for now.... :D

Wrong forum.... Goodbyes go in general.

Damn... :(


Where's a violin when u need one?

It's too big.

I'm pretty sure we've all been subjected to some sort of put down on this forum, or any forum for that matter. It usually happens when you just start and don't know the social dynamic of the site or how people react to anything less than an intellegent, well put together statement with perfect spelling and grammar.

The important part is that you learn to suck it up, takes stabs at other new posters and gain peoples respect. :D

This may be more suited....

agreed.
and well-said.

hahaha, where did you find that picture?

Damn. I really should NOT post before having my morning cup of coffee. :(

Uhm, no, not calling you a moron or douchbag... Red actually had a lot to say, intelligent responses/replies, and her defending an attacked n00b is totally justified.

Damn that subdued guilt complex of mind... Let it roll off, Red. Let it roll off.

She's right: It's not appropriate to personally attack people. But, I'm sorry, if someone makes their first post completely stream of consciousness while at the same time emphatically relating an incredibly ridiculously ludicrous anecdote - I'm not sure what they expected the response TO be.

There's a way to say, "What do you think of 1408? I thought it was the scariest movie that I've seen in a long, long time. And I'm not the type of person who scares easily." Statements like that invite discussion about the film, whether or not it scared people, while at the same time the thread-starter is sounding more inviting, well-spoken, and mature.

However, his post was immature, not well thought-out and seemed more to be bragging about his time in the army and the fact that he keeps weapons within grabbing distance. Quite frankly, I am a complete advocate for gun control. I also thought that 1408 was one of the weakest films of the year, and the fact that it provoked this individual to clutch his loaded household gun in his hands, well, that's an image that obviously bothers me on multiple levels.

Someone who keeps a loaded weapon around the house shouldn't be taking it out over watching a scary movie, regardless of what movie it is. And, given my staunch political beliefs, I really don't find the anecdote amusing, whether or not he was exaggerating.

Personally, I see an anti-gun campaign right here.

Someone actually makes tiny working violins. they would have had a world record but guiness was debating what constituted as a functional violin.

hee hee... That actually made me giggle out loud.

I think I heart you back.

*takes another vial of blood to add to collection*

wow, that's pretty awesome actually.

but the real question remains ---

how tough are the gangs in anchorage?

How big are these *vials*

Oh, you know, the usual.
