A movie that didn't so much give me nightmares but made it difficult for me to sleep for a few weeks was the original Dutch/French version of The Vanishing. The horrible Hollywood remake, no, but the original? I had to leave the theater when you find out what happened to the missing woman as I nearly threw up. And yeah, I didn't sleep well for a few weeks.
Yes, I avoid them too. Not a horror movie fan although I usually like psychological dramas. My favorite movie is Michael Clayton. So - no gore but I like tension. I also love movies about stealing stuff. You know, heist movies likes Oceans 11 or The Italian Job or Hot Rocks, that kind of thing.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen horror films out the wazoo. Psychological thrillers, etc. Add to those apocalyptic type fare also. But at some point it just gets to be too much. Give me a well done rom com every once in awhile. I did watch Ocean’s 11 this morning. Ot at least the second half of it on TNT or similar channel.
I have two friends and we want to start a podcast that reviews only romcoms and heist movies. We plan to call ourselves "Klepto Love Jockeys" (our initials are K, L, and J) but we haven't yet taken the jump into actually doing it. We did have a watch party set up for our first two movies - "When Harry Met Sally" and "How to Steal A Million" but then the pandemic got in the way. "How to Steal a Million" is one of the rare movies that fits into both categories. We have decided that "The Pink Panther" is not enough romcom to be both. If we ever actually start doing the podcast, we will record the minute details of that discussion.
I licked the leftover batter off the spatula.
Wow! Life on the edge!
Still waiting on test results for my wife and myself. All other co-workers have come back clean, save the one who tested positive initially.
