I almost fell asleep when watching this. Paranormal Activity I mean. It was soooo boring.. a guy at work told me he couldn't sleep the night after since it was so scary, so I thought, hey worth watching.
*yawns* But nope. I am sorry, but
doors slamming, footsteps in the hall and a girl being dragged from her bed,
all of that really doesn't scare me. Plus, the camera work was annoying, not to mention the guy and girl, they were so irritating that by the end of the film, they made me want to murder them myself.
So not scary, now if you'd name that one of the most boring films ever, I'd agree.
^ What she said. Paranormal Activity was laughable. I mean it really, really was.

I saw that one and hated how it has quotes scrawled all over it! If nothing I prefer the hobbit-one because it at least LOOKS like something from the 1940's, like an Enid Blyton cover.

Well, you won't find individual books.
I have the first four books bound in one under the title TOAFK, which is how is almost always is.
The fifth book, I have in a separate version which is illustrated and the cover depicts Merlin and Arthur (in his later days). Beautiful covers all.
Ohhh okay. I'd rather get a version with all five. And yes, you must show us your covers!
-
I can't find the individual books at all. There's a load of 'Sword In the Stone's (Swords In The Stone?
) and I glimpsed the occasional Merlyn, but nothing that seemed to be all five books by one publisher. -
Trust me, the alternatives are worse. He does look like a hobbit but Merlin looks good and I rather like the background.

This series is actually way way up my list now. It's ahead of virtually everything else on my wishlist
-
That's possible, when you've seen the show first. The opposite was true for me - I read the books first and I hated the show

Yo peeps, if anyone comes in here looking for the discussion on The Once & Future King by T.H. White then I've moved it into it's own thread here.
-
That's the best place to begin. Try to find a copy of The Once And Future King by TH White that contains all five books.
Really not an issue. I can't find the books individually, but there's loads of omnibus editions of all five. None that are REALLY pretty though.
This is the nicest one I can find:
It's not bad, not by a long shot, but still.

HAH! Too late summit, they are IN OUR INBOXES.
We win.

Like you say, Univerze, for me it's largely a fear of things unseen or perception distortion - like I just watched an episode of Star Trek TNG where Riker didn't know whether the Enterprise was real or a delusion. In addition, things that should seem normal but aren't, or normal things in a strange context - all of that disturbs me greatly. White noise (actual white noise) terrifies me not because I expect to hear anything in it, but because even if I don't, I'll imagine I do.
Funnily enough religious things scare me too. I don't believe in God or Satan, but Gabriel Byrne makes for a damn scary possessed priest.
With the Exorcist, it's again distortion of the normal - a person being possessed by something unknown. Visually it doesn't disturb me, it's the concept of not being in control of my own body and mind. Or the illusion of thinking it's someone you know and love, but it's hiding something unnatural underneath. There is an episode of Angel which gives a nod toward Exorcist style demons, when a small boy is possessed, and that disturbs me just as much.
I'm freaking myself out just thinking about all this.

I'm eating a honey chilli chicken, lettuce and red onion sandwich I got in O Briens, and because they ran out of stuffing I bought some microwaveable stuffing, put that in, and this is the most delish sandwich ever!

Think I'm about to watch me some more Star Trek: TNG
-
The Chucky films. I've never watched them except once when I was a pre-teen with an already-existant wariness of anything that resembles a human but isn't (dolls, dummies, clowns. Yes, clowns.) Anyway, since then ventriloquist dummies terrify me.
The episode of Buffy with the live dummy, the Goosebumps episodes - I can't watch them. Well, not without scaring the life out of myself.

I think I'd be better equipped to handle the savoury giants rather than the sweet ones. Though it would, without a doubt, kill me, as I can't eat fatty food except in really small quantities.
-
This is a great thread idea Vinay!
In a book I recently got called, 'How To Build A Dinosaur - Extinction Doesn't Have To Be Forever', the dedication simply reads:
"For Darwin."
Which I think is actually quite cool.

The giant burgers have actually given me a serious craving for a burger, so I'm going to make one for dinner. (A normal sized one, obviously).
I love how at the end of the giant burger 'How-To' it says, 'and it's complete. Enjoy your coronary!'
-
I have a serious craving for a burger.... so I'm going to make one. Sigh.
-
I know! They're terrifyingly large but strangely compelling!
I want a giant Wagon Wheel.
-
Well, so did these people!
20 pages of super-sized snacks! Giant Wagon Wheels, Twixes, Kit Kats, Easter egg sized Creme Eggs, Freddos, the list goes on and on!
I spent ages today looking through all these, and I'd love to try them out!

I really wasn't a huge fan of the regular Point Horrors - Point Horror Unleashed was where it was at.
Catchman, as I said earlier in the thread, remains one of my favourite books to this day for it's depiction of insanity.
-
The ending is brilliant. That's what you get. HAHA. Cute bird though.

Wooo congrats Laura!

Oh I wasn't replying to you, I didn't even see your post, I was just agreeing with Univerze's post independently of anyone else's. Sorry if you thought it was aimed at you, I was completely confused when I read your reply!
