I feel kinda bad and disconnected from my friends, RL and LJ.

So, my dear friends that read this, if I have neglected you on LJ, blame college.

I need some human contact. I can't hug anyone here. Except on weekends when I'm at my aunt's. Here I'm not just going to go up to some person randomly and say, "Hi. I need a hug" and hug them. Because that would be odd. Maybe I'm just too touchy feely sometimes.

Anyone up for having a philosophical discussion about anything?

Though my knowledge on the subject is limited, I do believe they are called snuff films. I think the fact that he did all of these things and then believed that he was not guilty shows that there is something wrong with him. On some levels I think he honestly didn't believe what he was doing was wrong. This is actually a whole idea that has always nagged at my mind when I get into debates, especially religious ones.

I thought the movie was mediocre, neither amazing nor terrible. It was just "eh". I didn't even jump. But then I am pretty good at picking up on when scary things are going to happen and bracing myself. And this really could have been really good. It could have been great. And I think the difference between what it is and what it could have been lies within the last few shots of the film. If this had lived up to potential, those last few shots would have really bothered me, but as it was they did not. (Whereas the only part of The Blair Witch Project, a crappy movie IMO, that scared me at all was the final shot.)

I did predict what was going to happen, but only about 20 minutes before it did happen. Picked up stuff long before the rest of the theatre though, which is probably why I didn't jump as much.

I totally agree with you about the title. I think it's another one of those "not living up to it's potential" kind of things. And I don't think you're baggin on the movie. We all have our opinions and sometimes movies just suck. Not that this one did. It just marginally...vacuumed. (I was trying to be clever there. Obviously it didn't work.)

Oh, do I have things to say about analyzing things. A friend of mine asked me this quarter if I ever read for fun right after she told me that I analyze everything everyone says. I only read for fun! I just like thinking about it. I've always just taken it to mean that my brain is working. So, yeah. Don't shake your unconcious habits, they can lead to lively discussion. :-)

Oh, I'm also reading a book at the moment that I think you might find interesting.
