  3. Scary Movies Standards Over Time

    in Movies and TV

    Posted

    It seems to me that the horror movies of old tended to be over-the-top and mostly unrealistic. Meant to strike fear into a younger crowd and spook them through the course of the movie and maybe for a week afterward. But horror movies nowadays try to be more realistic given killers that seem more like real people that have horrible minds and could be representive of any person walking this Earth today. Instead of scary we get into more of a creepy feeling that this could actually happen, though not always likely.

  10. Vision

    This is one I started a couple months ago and finally got around to finishing.

    There you stand before me

    A vision in my head

    But why can I only see you

    When I?m lying in my bed

    In a flash, you disappear

    Bring me back to where I?ve been

    But when the lights go on, I open my eyes

    And lose you once again

    [Chorus]

    Sweet vision in my head

    You?re making me go insane

    Sweet vision in my head

    When will I see you again

    With eyes so soft and a smile so bright

    I?m in love with who you are

    Everything about you just seems so right

    But I don?t know who you are

    For some reason you seem so real

    Yet there?s nothing there at all

    My arms reach out to just hold on

    Into my dreams you start to fall

    [Repeat chorus]

    I don?t understand what is real

    Or what is just a dream

    You visit me in my sleep

    It feels so close to me

    Sweet vision in my head

    You?re making me go insane

    Sweet vision in my head

    You feel so real to me

    Sweet vision in my head

    You?re making me go insane

    Sweet vision in my head

    When will I see you again

  11. This is gonna be great!...What the !?

    The third Matrix was such a let down the way it ended.

    I thought Romeo & Juliet would be good (the one with DiCrapio) until I started watching it. I was able to hang in there for about 7 minutes and then shut it off because I couldn't stand it anymore. I love Shakespeare, and I assumed no one would bother to screw up Shakespeare, but they did. :beady:

  14. Songs that you secretly enjoy

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    I think rap music hit an all time high in the mid-90's when the industry was flooded with the new wave of Hip-Hop. The rap music that you can bounce to in the clubs and enjoy in your car with the windows down and it gives you a good feeling because it's not about "sad" issues like violence, the ghetto, drug abuse, or anything like that. Old school rap is fun to listen to but a little harder to jam to in the bars or clubs. Now rap nowadays, is just turning toward pop where a lot of it is pointless and really only belongs in a dance club while being harder to listen to in the car.

  16. A Poem For Rememberance

    in Creative Writing

    Posted

    I wrote this September 12, 2001; you can figure out why.

    A tragedy has struck, throughout our land

    But today we rebuild, united we stand

    You attacked a nation, full of despair

    And created a nation of people who care

    Through all the pain in the ashes and dust

    Our tears keep on falling, but our hearts will not rust

    Or crumble like a building, for we are too strong

    We fight for the right, we fight against the wrong

    United we stand and divided we fall

    And through all the heartache, we've conquered them all

    For we built this nation, and the songs that we sing

    Of mind and of body, as liberty rings

    You may knock us down, but we get back on our feet

    You cannot knock us out, we know no defeat

    Our souls and our spirits, have now become one

    To stand against evil, and what it has become

    So now we're here together, with our heads in the air

    To make our way through, this time of despair

    We've made it through ups, we've made it through downs

    We've learned many lessons, in our cities and towns

    And now we have, an awakening to face

    It's time to rise up, and put fear in its place

    For we have been struck, and our wounds may be deep

    But time will heal, and faith we will keep

    And our scars will forever, be etched in the wood

    But the tree of life, will always stand for the good

    Though the blood of our Americans, causes us pain

    Our freedom and hope, will always remain

  17. An Angel In Heroes Clothing

    in Creative Writing

    Posted

    I wrote this on June 22, 2002 after a visit to New York city and the memorial at ground zero.

    Heroes come in all shapes and size

    And on that one day, the Angels did rise

    To protect New York City, and the families they lost

    They put forth their lives, no matter the cost

    They entered the buildings, to save those inside

    Then sprouted their wings, and flew into the sky

    They were not greedy, or selfish to care

    They?d soon lose their lives, so others?d be spared

    They just did their job, or that?s what they say

    We all pray our jobs, never end up this way

    They?ll forever be written, in history books

    But feel all their presence, when you take just a look

    The heavens were filled, on that tragic day

    With hero clad Angels, leading the way

    So those that they saved, who start life anew

    Will always be saying, we?ll never forget you
