Same here. I gave up on fairy-tales and things lurking under the beds a long time ago.

Are there any types of movies that you do like? Because they're all "Fairy tales" in a very real sense.
 

There was a movie out a few years ago called A Haunting in Connecticut that was also based on actual events. The new owners of the house had the same problem. People were showing up all the time, wanting pictures of the house. They took it much more in stride, though. They were like, "Yeah, sure. Come on and take a picture."

I'm sure that the writers took some creative license with it, because honestly, most true stories would be somewhat boring without a little sexying it up from Hollywood. But all in all, it was interesting, and I was glad to see Lorraine Warran sitting in a cameo in the movie. Told me that she approved of the movie, or she wouldn't have agreed to be in it.

And welcome to the board. :2wave:
 

My husband loved the movie. He's read all the books, and we aren't big Tom Cruise fans, so we went into it expecting nothing, and came away moderately surprised. Hubs used to be an MP, and his favorite part of the movie was where the cop asked Reacher, "What do MPs do?" to which replied, "Well there's a big difference between MPs and police. If you are an MP, all of your suspects are trained killers." :lol: He loved that, because police always give MPs a hard time, saying they aren't real police.
 

It's hard to buy into a mercenary that's 5'4".
 

I have a friend who was an SP (Security Police-Air Force) that was guarding a nuclear ICBM section of a base, when a drunk soldier wandered into a secure area. He shouted to the guy "freeze" but he kept walking, probably didn't understand being inebriated. He shouted one more time, then aimed his M16 and pulled back the bolt. He said the soldier froze in his footsteps shaking when he heard that locking sound from the weapon. :shock:
 

I thought it was good :shrug: and well directed in the fact that it didn't have to involve a whole lot of gore or violence to scare you. To each their own i suppose.
 

That's one of the scariest sounds in the world. :lol:
 

Good evening,WD! :2wave:

I hadn't even heard of this one! My grandkids are usually the first ones in line to see something scary, and they haven't even mentioned it!

Agree totally on your choices, too. Psycho still scares me, and I have seen it so many times I can recite the lines!
 


there really is something about Psycho that is for the ages ... that many films can do that ... Remember "Some Like It Hot?" Still makes me laugh and when my boys were like 9 and 13 THEY laughed! Priceless films ...

I'm on vacation, but I can't tell you where because I'm somewhere where I'm probably the only Puerto Rican so I don't want one of the gun crazies on these threads looking for me -- In this place they'd find me in a heartbeat or kill some innocent Puerto Rican guy who made a wrong turn andv ended up here by mistake ... gotta go, take care ... if Jack responds to me on the Benghazi thread where I just responded to him, pleasse respond to him the way I would for me ... thanks ...
 

WD, NOBODY speaks for Jack! Are you trying to get me in hot water? Have an enjoyable vacation, but hurry back before someone recognizes you. Humbolt advises that no direct eye contact be made, so remember that! :lamo:
