Mmmm coffee. And lots of it. And the chocolate chip cookies I made today, I know they're bad for you (I mean, they're sugar and chocolate, mainly), but yumm. Made them cause my brother loves em so, but well, me too. Bad Renate, no cookie. Oh, wait. Cookies were the problem.

Me lovessss. I need to watch that again, particularly episodes with Jack. Mmm. I watched Hellboy and part of Resident Evil: Extinction. That one is so not scare anymore.

Hee hee, I was always more scared by the in IT than actually scared of the clown.

You know, this also matters actually how much you have to spend.. Someone who makes a lot and spends 50 pounds or someone who doesn't make a lot spedning 50 pounds on books, quite a difference there. Me, I don't make much (student ) but I also don't have a lot of expenses. So books are allowed.

Haven't seen avatar yet either, Daybreakers was nice in my opinion, though not worthy a cinema trip, better watched at home.

Usually I buy one or two books a month, on average (so some months more, some months none), and spend between 15 and 20 euros.

^Won't be hard, as I am not too fussed about seeing the film. Weird, cause the trailer makes me want to read the book. Hmm. But I think it would make a better book than film.

However, like some Stephen King books, this one can be a little hard to get into. It's a long book too, so before the story starts picking up it can be a while. It's very good though. I'd suggest just browsing through the forum, plenty such books are being discussed here.

Hey, now there's something.. I didn't know that is was based on a book, and I wanted to see the film, but I hate reading a book AFTER watching the film, so I might have a look as to whether I can find the book first. Thankoo.

Well I thought about reading this book when I first heard of it, but doubted.. seems like a difficult book. But now I am seeing the trailer of the film all over tv, not that fantastic but again it's got me doubting to read the book. Would rather read the book than watch the film tho.

I love Alien.. They're amongst my favourite films. Not really scary though.

Oh I agree with you on The Hole, always get amazed at the level of obsession that girl shows, Thora Birch.. and how pretty normal teens can go to that in such a short time. Plus the claustrophobia doesn't help either. However it seem sjust about the only film in which I can stomach Keira Knightley.

^I too, was quite young when watching the Exorcist, might have been like 10 or something? It was, and still is, one of my mom's fav films, maybe even her all-time favourite. We like scary films. Only thing I was scared about at the time was when I lay in bed and thought my bed was going to thump up and down like Reagans. But possession doesn't scare me and I have never been religious (I have been baptized and did my first communion, but I never believed in any of it, were just stories to me) so maybe then it's different. I don't believe in god ir the devil, so it's just another film of fiction to me.

Some of the other members of your dinner party might not be able to stomach it if he went into details I think.. I've always find serial killers fascinating in a weird way, but his necrophiliac tendencies might upset the stomach of quite a few guests hee hee.. including me. The rest what he did is sick, but can you imagine necrophilia? Ew.

Micheala Conlin (preferably as Angela Montenegro, she'd wickedly funny and seems veeeery nice) Anne Hathaway Sholto, king of the Sluagh from Laurell Hamilton's Merry Gentry books Mistral, Storm Lord, again from above books. Sarah Carter (from CSI and Shark) All hotties again, which I wouldn't mind getting very up close and personal with hee hee, so I think we'd find something else to do after dinner, possibly. Plus I would love to have a chat with Mistral and Sholto about what it's like to live in world of faery, and to be immortal sidhe. Wow.

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 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.

Couldn't agree more.. I did like this film, the guy who "replaced" Jack Nicholson might have been less evil, but certainly got the job done.. didn't like the wife too much, but the boy, he was nothing short of annoying. Weird faces, bad acting, and he always talked like he has too much spit in his mouth. Has been years since I've seen the 70's version of this film, didn't remember they left out that much, the hedge animals etc (now that was kinda scary) but that is weird, since it is a scene that freaks out most people..

Sounds very nice, except for.. there's no meat in it! Could do with some chicken there, but that's just me talking, me turning vegetarian would be like the ultimate punishment..

Anyone hear the news already, that it's probably not going to be in a lot of cinemas due to problem with cinemas and Disney, that they want to release it on dvd in June already.. and the cinemas are not happy with that since there's usually supposed to be 4 months between DVD and cinema release.. This is the UK one, but it goes for Holland too, and guess international.. Weird.

Boerenkool with speklappen. What the hell's that in English? Okay, again wikipedia helps.. it's called kale or borecole in english. That's just weird. And the meat, well sort of thick bacon strips, before they're salted etc.. just porc or something. Dutch food.

Science fiction? Aren't they more like fantasy? Honestly, I have only read the first three or something so far, but, but.. they felt more like a sort of fantasy for me. Not classic fantasy, but why would you call it sci-fi? Do the later books turn towards sci-fi more? Hmm. Okay, from wikipedia: Guess we were both right hee hee.. though seriously, fantasy fiction and science fantasy?

Read two hundred pages of Swallowing Darkness by Laurell Hamilton today, finished the book, and have to say I liked it. Not so repetitive and seriously, she just had sex once in this book. Good thing really, leaves more room for plot. Also started Robert Jordan's Eye of the World finally, just a few pages though.

I don't scare easily.. films with blood and gore are not scary to me, Saw I could watch easily. It didn't scare me, I thought them disturbing though, and didn't watch Hostel, don't need to see a film about people torturing people, it's sick. Serial killers, cannibals, whatever doesn't really scare me.. any film that would scare me would have to have ghosts in it. The Ring, even the American one, if I get totally into it, will scare me a little when watching it, but leave me having to turn on lights whenever I walk around the house at night. And immediately hopping into bed when I turn them off. White Noise can be scary when you're watching it focussed, and when you start thinking about it.. I mean don't really believe in ghosts, and E.V.P. really not, but still. I even got scared after watching Dragonfly, where he Guess for me it's the fear of things unseen.. my imagination is worse than anything they can show me on screen. Oh I love the Exorcist and the Descent, nothing in them scares me.

Sorry, no King book has ever scared me. However, if I had to recommend two, it's the Stand (adore it) and The Talisman.. with Peter Straub. Neither are scary, but they're just so epic, and the Talisman deals with a sorta alternate universe, really my thing.
