Scary movies
Last night our friend Patty was in town, so we went out to dinner (Iguana’s in Hills, which is always delightful) and to the movie Dark Water. As you can see, it got mediocre-to-bad reviews, but I liked it pretty well. It was atmospheric and spooky and didn’t rely too much on jump-out-of-the-bushes scares, which I consider cheating. It was fun.
My favorite scary movie is probably The Exorcist. I saw the remastered version in the theater back in Y2K, and it was really quite frightening. There’s just something about strange-acting children that’s creep-o-rama. I was terrified by “Home Alone” for the same reason. That kid smashed an iron into another human being’s face! How bizarre.
In other news, work is quiet today, so I’m shopping online for gift bags. What a country!
