That's because almost all horror movies are just cheap parlour tricks filmed by really crappy directors.
Excessive build up of suspense (like watching someone walk down a hall for 3 fucking minutes while nothings happens, to the point you actually start to get bored)... Sounds like footsteps and doors creaking are amplified to be louder than the sounds of explosions in an action movie... Everything is really dark so you have to stare really closely to see what's going on (I guess that's supposed to a clever way of making the next part worse)... And then they randomly flash something really loud, bright, and sudden on the screen that's not so much scary as it is surprising. Repeat the formula for every other terrible piece of shit horror movie (there are good ones, but it's a shame to even lump them in with this genre).
That's basically why the second time you watch it it's not scary at all. You're expecting the surprise, so the only 'scary' part of the movie is taken away. If people randomly dying in horrible ways was scary, action movies would be labelled as horror movies too... but it isn't.

That's quite obvious, I was just replying to the "watch it again" statement.

What does PM mean? Like 12 at night or afternoon? Either is fine w/ me. Eastern time is one hour back.
Let's set out the rules. Loser either name changes to something which doesn't look the same, or is exiled from posting at TL.net for a year or something?
How many games do you want to play?
For maps, how bout loser picks?

People who have watched this movie will know why I'm doing it. And it's a testament to how fucking great it is that I'm actually making this blog post. Goddamn I'm a pussy.
I watched the Japanese version in the cinema. I couldn't bear to look at the TV or the mirror for a few days.

bo5
Map pool
Mercury
Bifrost 3
Cultivation Period
Plasma
Guillotine
I have never played any of the above maps but I hear they're ridiculously imbalanced.
I'll play the disadvantaged race for each map. IE pvz on mercury, zvt on bifrost, tvp on cultivation/guillotine etc.
Loser loses e-penis aka post count.
If I go 3-0 u get banned.
k?
btw its not like any mod has any sanction on this.
this could all be for nothing anyways, we're both shitty posters.
Would make a fun battle report though.

If you want a scary + very good movie, watch a tale of two sisters, it's fantastic.

I hate all those maps, and have never played them. I like Python, Tau, Blue Storm, Longinus, and Destination. How about a standard Bo5 from this pool, or just start w/ Python then go loser picks?
BTW, your confidence is really fucking frightening me. I haven't played seriously since I got to school a year and a half ago, and I was just bluffing and expecting you to back down. Now I'm scared. But my pride says play on gosuface, play on. So play on gosuface will...
Two questions: Are you really 12? And even if you are, are you a really good player (like what's your PGT or ICCUP rank)
I'll won't post on this site if you 3-0 me. But if I beat you, likewise. If I ever forget and post like a couple of months from now, just remind me.

Oh yeah, will I be playing you before lunch or before I go to sleep. I have no clue what 12 pm is.

12 pm is noon ^_^ 12 am is midnight
._. dont be gay like gtr (zvz on desert fox fuck)
That map pool would make even justin cry
