That reminds me of how, when I was a kid, I hated facial hair and never, ever wanted to sport a mustache or beard when I grew up. Fast forward to today, and I go around sporting a short beard, shaving only once a month after it starts growing unevenly and becomes an annoyance (I admit, though, that this is primarily due to a combination of laziness and a lack of decent razors, not because I particularily like having facial hair).

Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995)

The story was fine, the effects excellent, but it's Billy Zane as the Collector who makes this film as enjoyable as it is. I know, I know - he's not the best actor in the world, and he more often than not appears in movies that are mediocre at best. I'm not joking, though, when I say that I loved him in this, and that it's easiest the best performance I've ever seen him give. I believe that the perfect type of demon is the kind that is handsome and charming on the outside, but with an internal ugliness that barely manages to stay concealed under the surface; Zane portrayed that type perfectly. I can't give such praise to Jada Pinkett Smith's hair, though; it honestly looked like a Siamese cat coughed a massive furball up onto her head.

Mute Witness (1994)

Decent movie, but nothing exceptional. Alec Guinness's brief appearance as the villainous Reaper is easily the highlight of the film.

Urban Legend (1998)

I'm just going to come right out and say it - the only part of the film worth watching is the last twenty minutes or so, after Rebecca's Gayheart's character is revealed to be the killer and she begins hamming it up big time; everything before that is a lacklustre waste of time.

Mimic 2 (2001)

An incredibly weak, pointless sequel. Even if the chockful of discrepancies with the original film hadn't served to alienate me, the whole idea that a giant insect would want to mate with a human female would have.

What Lies Beneath (2000)

Not a bad movie, but it was just too slow-moving for my tastes. It was interesting to see Harrison Ford play a villain for a change.

Bad Moon (1996)

It wasn't stellar, but I liked it. The dog was a pretty good actor, and the werewolf design was - if a little stiff moving - still pretty awesome.

Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984)

I remember the first and last time I saw this movie was back in the summer of '96. I hadn't yet seen ROTJ, so I didn't know this took place in the SW Universe. I found it an alright movie at the time, though it wasn't something I would have filed away in my category of "Awesome Movies I'd Love to See Again & Again & Again". Having watched it now, again, my feelings haven't changed all that much; it's well made for a TV film, and a decent time-waster, but nothing more than that.

Buried Alive (1990)

Not to be confused with the TV movie of the same name released in the same year. Though it claims to be based on something by Edgar Allan Poe, there's nothing to tie the film to any of the works he's done beyond the presence of a black cat and the villain's motif of walling his victims up alive behind brick walls. The story, while showing some promise, just wasn't that well written; few if any of the victims who die are even remotely likeable, so I felt nothing but satisfaction when they kicked the bucket; and Donald Pleasance gives one of the worst performances of his career playing an irritating ex-nutcase with a German accent and bad toupee. I will say in the film's favour, though, that the atmosphere and cinematography was pretty good.

What about Dawn of the Dead and The Thing? Those were great.


I haven't seen the Dawn of the Dead remake nor the original The Thing from Another World, so I can't say how they compare with their respective predecessors/successors. I was never a fan of the original Dawn of the Dead anyway, though, so I honestly couldn't care less about its remake (plus I just don't enjoy the whole zombie apocalypse subgenre, anyway).

Actually IMO the original versions of Day the Earth Stood Still and Amityville Horror bored me so much I didn't even want to see the remakes in the first place.


Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of the originals myself. Still, they did have their good qualities - qualities which the remakes tore apart and wiped their asses with.

First off, posting the actual names of the non-celebrity crushes is a little creepy... Just saying.


Perhaps. There are worst things in life than admitting an attraction to specific people, though, and at least I didn't post pictures of them (this time around, anyway).

Second, celebrity crushes aren't viable crushes, so it doesn't matter that the Alantis Morissette and Heather Langenkamp you are attracted to do not exist anymore, and it shouldn't be an unpleasant experience for you. It isn't like if you had been born in the right decade you'd be hooking up with the young Heather Langenkamp. I feel like you might be taking your celebrity crushes too seriously.


I do tend to take things like this a bit too seriously. It goes with the territory, though, when you're the type of person who's never had even a single romantic relationship.

Also, 2001 - 2008? That is a long time for a "crush" to last. Did you ever ask her out during that period of time, or have any kind of relationship? I am assuming this is the one you fell in love with, so there must have been something mutual there, right?


It started off as a crush, but it became something deeper the longer it lasted. And yes, I did tell her how I felt, but she didn't reciprocate. In the end, I just became too infactuated with her, and things between us ended on a very sour note.

I'm coming to the conclusion that you are doing it wrong (but I could be wrong). For one, adults don't really use the word "crush". Of course, you could still be in high school for all I know.


Most of these crushes were from when I was in high school or earlier (I'm 25 now, so I haven't been inside a high school in about nine years or so) so that's why I label them so. The more "modern " examples never really developed into anything serious, so I label them crushes as well for lack of a better term.

Let's look at the situation with Brianna. You bemoan the fact that your work schedules didn't line up enough for you to get the chance to know her, then you got laid off. Losing the job sucked, but it shouldn't have had an bearing on how things played down with Brianna. She was a server, so the solution would have been to go back and grab a coffee/meal/whatever they served there at a time you knew she'd be working, and either flat out ask her if she wants to hang out*, or at least say something along the lines of, "Hey, could I get your phone number? I'd kind of like to stay in touch."


Unfortunately for me, I suffer from social anxiety disorder, so casual conversation itself is something I have a problem dealing with, let alone asking someone out on a date. I'm also unemployed, have no driver's license, and am stuck living with my self-righteous, religiously-conservative, control-freak parents, which only complicates matters further.
