Just so you know…

The other night I went to the movie I Am Number Four with a few friends. I hadn’t really checked out kids-in-mind but I had sort of surmised from her description that it might be a little scary. And generally, I don’t watch scary movies (because they make me SCARED). As the previews started, I started getting a little nervous. You know… plugging my ears & covering my eyes… not one preview was for a movie that I would have any desire to see! If I didn’t shield my eyes or plug my ears, I could have nightmares for WEEKS (and possibly even years). They tried to find another movie for me to see but it IS February after all. (I guess the flops come out in February excepting the Bieber movie…) I endured the movie well – the lead actor helped. I was even entertained.  I took one break when things got intense. And I giggled when things got really stupid, predictable, & intense. I missed Twilight (on purpose) but I think that this movie probably had a similar target audience. When I arrived home, I was able to relax & enjoy the evening with the family (probably watching basketball). Only once, during a commercial, did I have to do a double-take when I saw someone wearing a hoodie. (The bad guys wore them too.)  So… now you know that I am afraid of any kind of suspense, drama, action, etc. I will not go see the horrorific horror flicks, but sometimes James Bond or Inception or Inkheart are so good that I’ll endure the uneasiness. But I usually wait until I am at home with my laptop on my lap to keep me warm & distract me from anything remotely intense.
