101 Posts

I reached 100 posts with that Woops post! Excellent. It's a shame I didn't notice I was at 99, or I would have made that 100th post much less of a sad and wasteful piece of crap. Although, now that I know what post number I am at, the 101st isn't looking any better than the 100th. Hats off to my ability to amuse myself whilst procrastinating, and making it look like maybe a little bit more than procrastination. Maybe. Probably not.
Anyway, I'm really tired. I went to see Knowing tonight with NICOLAS CAGE who is one of my most favourite ones of all, and it was terrifying. Now, if you are a horror movie-watcher, this will probably do nothing more for you in the fear/suspense department than would Monsters Incorporated. However, I am a sappy wimp, or perhaps a wimpy sap, and I become very emotionally involved in movies (that is the sappiness); I also am very able to be horrified by a string section playing continuous, creepy notes with the tymphs booming in here and there, and a guy running into a forest armed with a flashlight and panting breaths (that is the wimpiness). I know how to do mind over matter, and remember that I'm just watching a movie and not to be scared or sad or whatever it is, but why do that? Does that not defeat the purpose of watching a movie? Do you not go see it to forget about matter, to become involved in someone else's world, to let yourself delve into the web of emotions that is spun in film? That's why I love movies. They can take you away and feel happy or sad or angry or embarassed or frightened or any number of things. It's crazy. So I guess I like being a sappy wimp/wimpy sap. It allows me to become involved in the film and stare intently at tyhe screen like its all that matters. It's exactly what they want us to do, and I liek doing it! Movies are awesome. Awesome, awesome.
Anyway, I found this movie terrifying. I was clutching Katelyn so hard. Remember that this comes from the one who couldn't handle the previews of the movie Prom Night and subsequently left the theatre (with Katelyn, of course, my fellow fearful friend) and saw the Day the Earth Stood Still or something. Whatever action movie was in at the time. Ah, I do love action movies. Regardless of the scariness of it all, I enjoyed it, and I enjoyed my NICOLAS.
After it was done, I was thinking how I shoulnd't be a movie critic, because I wouldn't be able to watch the whole thing without closing my eyes and huddling next the the person one seat over.
Good night, world. I hope you're feeling better.
