I am afraid that my life will end in a horrifically painful way, like slow but severe torture or being shot but not in a place that immediately kills me. You know what's more horrifying is the idea of going through what James Caan's character, Paul Sheldon, goes through in Misery when Kathy Bates, as Annie Wilkes, smashes his feet with that sledgehammer. The Hobbling. Oh man, I really fear I will experience something that painful in my life. I always fear the next time I will get hurt, thinking I will lose a limb or something.

First off, Adnan, the Christopher Lee photo kicks serious ass!!! Scrolling down the page and getting a glimpse of just the eyes scared the shit out of me!!! Which Hammer film is that from? I have "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" (1973). It's O.K., but the ending kinda sucks.
Things I was scared of:
USED to be afraid of the dark
"Pennywise" from "IT" freaked me out as a kid (was Tim Curry EVER scarier?)
Fears:
Getting cut. I cut myself at work many times, and knives just urk me. A few weeks ago I cut my finger on the meat slicer blade. It's been healing fine, though, so no big worry. But the thing that worries me the most about geting mutilated, is that it happens so fast, that you have no time to react, and you are caught in between a state of panic/shock. And the worst part, is when you finally look at your wound, to see how bad it is.
I also have a fear of losing peoples' trust in me. I consider myself a decent person, and I don't wish anyone any particular harm. So when they begin to not trust, or believe in me, or at least be O.K. with me, that gets to me.
Like John Cale says, "Fear is a man's best friend".

Oh,really? I cannot find the word of 'pointy bit' in my Japanese-English and English-Japanese dictionaries!! I wonder my dictionaries were published in the period of William‡T. I stay this club for now.

There's nothing to be afraid of.
Do you know that Norse legend where Odin is seduced by Morgane, then she puts a crown on his head and he forgets everything. Isn't that marvelous, not remembering anything? It is like heaven!

Stray dogs. The big mean ones. I take lots of walks so this is an occasional hazard.
I never see any little, harmless-looking stray dogs. Very rarely are there tiny chihuahuas roaming the streets. It's always some big doberman that looks like it could take my face off.
I think the big dogs eat the small dogs. |

heaven and hell allin one. I have mixed feeling about memories, they can make you so unbelievably high, and yet so dismally low all at the same time...I wouldnt be who i am with out them
I think it would be more hell. although theres alot id like to forget, it onlymakes me remember how far ive come, and thati CAN get through anything.
I love you for what I am not,
I did not ask for what I have got.
You will get used to me.
Welcome to your new joy. |

Not remembering anything is impossible. But you have to forget things if you want to move forward.

I'm afraid of losing all my teeth! It really sucks because I try to take good care but I still get cavities and stuff, I have naturally bad teeth......it sucks!
I'm ok with heights as long as I can keep moving, If I'm in my car and I'm on a bridge and the traffic comes to a stop and I can feel the bridge swaying I feel like getting out and walking, don't know why?
I used to be ok with claustrophobic situations, but not anymore, I get a little squirly and feel like punching people around me. That scene in Kill Bill Vol. 2 when she get put in the box and they hammer the lid on and the screen's completely black but you can hear the breathing....fuck me, I felt her pain!

I like how the screen was completely black for over a minute in that scene, with the dirt falling on the coffin and Uma's heavy breathing being the only sounds we hear.

Kill Bill Vol. 2 Spoilers contained within
I'm a bit sensitive about my eyes. Whenever I see barbed wire, I always get this feeling in my eyes like they're impaled on the wire. I have trouble looking at it. However, in Kill Bill, I thought it was hilariously over-the-top when Beatrix yanked out Elle's eye and then squished it under her toes. By the third time I saw the film, I found the scene ridiculous, and laughed hysterically. My friend sitting next to me said that the young girls sitting in front of us reacted repulsed by the scene and he said that when they heard me laughing, they turned around with an aghast look on their face, horrified that I was so amused by the scene. I wish I could have seen their faces, but when watching a Tarantino film, even after seeing it multiple times, I have trouble taking my eyes of the screen since the images are so awesome.

In that case, my biggest fear is being given a brand new Gibson Les Paul and a lifetime supply of Arizona Ice Tea.
But wait... is the killing a seperate part of making people go through their fears, Adnan? You know, since not all fears involve death. If I'm gonna die after going through my biggest fears, then my biggest fear is having a threesome with Liz Phair circa 1992 and Winona Ryder circa 1994.

I don't remember what movie she was reviewing, but Pauline Kael wrote about how one of the most effective scare/shock tactics in movies is to attack/gouge/stab/violate someone's eyes. I guess it's because obviously your eyes are what's engaged the most when you're watching a film.
Pixies fans will know about Un Chein Andalou already, but I think my favorite movie eye-mutilation is the 'splinter scene' from the old Italian horror flick, Zombie. |

I'm scared shitless of cannibals.
Also, whenever I use a pay phone in the city, which used to be all the time before I finally got a cell phone, I'm afraid of checking for change in the coin return slot. For some reason, I'm convinved that some shit fuck has put a sharp pin in there that has been dipped in AIDS. I'm afraid that by checking for my quarter I'll be infected with HIV.
Another- I used to have an apartment on the fifteenth floor of a building downtown. The window were six foot high and looked right out on an incredible view of the east river and the brooklyn bridge, which was two blocks away. This was a little after 9-11 and I started having intense, realistic nightmares of looking out my window in the morning at the river, seeing the dazzeling early morning sun dance off the river as the Q train crosses the manhatten, when suddening a nuclear bomb detonates on the Brooklyn bridge. Then I wake up. Very Sara Connor, I know. But as bad as that was, i'm still more frightened of cannibals.

In the version you saw, did they actually show the eye being penetrated??? They didn't in the version I saw on cable T.V a few years ago. I thought the film was shit. Very tame considering what I had heard about it. Is there a hardcore version?

There is eye-penetration in the version I saw. I've seen the one on the Anchor Bay DVD.
I don't know anything about the various cuts floating around. There's a new Zombie DVD out there released under its Italian title, Zombi 2 (a title that was meant to fool Italians into thinking it was a sequel to Dawn of the Dead, which was called Zombi in Italy). I don't know what's different about that one.
It's not a very hardcore movie, but there's cool stuff in it. I enjoy it. |

Oh,really? I cannot find the word of 'pointy bit' in my Japanese-English and English-Japanese dictionaries!! I wonder my dictionaries were published in the period of William‡T. I stay this club for now.
I hope you didn't read that as sarcasm, Mariggy -- I wasn't joking or making fun of your English! I have learned obscure new words before, just because people whose native language is not English have used them unknowingly. I didn't know what a 'ferrule' was until I looked it up just now: apparently it's a ring of metal used to strengthen a shaft, or join one shaft or pipe to another -- I didn't know that before.
In fact, I just found this page below, listing extremely rare and obscure English words, and the use of 'ferrule' to describe the pointy bit of an umbrella is listed there!
http://www.islandnet.com/~egbird/dict/f.htm
Most people would just call it the pointy bit because they don't know what it's really called... :)

There are ferrules on paintbrushes too, only know that from being an artist. And shoelaces (the tips).
FBnet should declare May 11th to be from this day hence "Ferrule Day",
in honor of Mariggy and Drugged Bunny, and the Pointy Bits Treaty of Dictionary! |
