[Haunted]

Whoa...I discuss films. That's why I'm here. This is the general forum. We can talk about anything we like.

In truth, I'm a bit afraid of my approach to discussing films. I like to read other people's thoughts. I think I would be very very boring. I discuss things in a manner of: In Dawn of the Dead, what was the symbolism of the pregnancy in a dead world? Was it a new hope for the reformation of life or did it symbolize the true death of human beings as a whole?

Nobody wants to talk about that shit. Here's something else I might ask: When you compare Dracula the book, versus Dracula the original movie with Bela Lugosi, with Bram Stoker's Dracula, we see a progression of the Byronic vampiric theme that Stoker hinted at in his novel (pulling from The Vampyre by John Polidori, which was a book featuring Lord Byron as a Vampire) where as in Dracula with Lugosi, Dracula is not "handsome," yet charismatic. In the Copala film, he alternates from hideous to strikingly handsome. Is this a reflection of Hollywood's idealism of beauty or were they trying to recapture the Byronic antihero more clearly?

Would you really be interested in answering a question like that?

I absolutely adore horror films you unmuzzled plume-plucked fustilarian. I adore anything horror related. I always have. That's why I enjoy reading other people's opions on films, but my own insecurities prevent me from jotting my own thoughts out of fear of boring you all to death. Besides that, many people here, including yourself, don't take kindly to beind disagreed with about films.

I'm disagreeing with you on this topic because the discussing of my religion has been a large part of my academic adult life, and I feel that you're comments are not based on any fact or learning whatever. You're making unclear and muttled assumptions, just like the one about me not liking horror films.

The thing is, I question your statements and where you've come up with them. To my recollection, I haven't really made assumptions about your character. If you are truly as intellectual as you are trying to have us assume, you would kindly do me the same favor. Okay... so the ostrich comment was a bit much.

The two comments that you've made thus far, one, about me being a "hippy" and two, about me not liking or watching horror films are completely and totally untrue and frankly used as a last ditch effort on your part.

As much as I would like to continue discussion religion, I'm leaving this topic alone. You can continue to judge and assume anything and everything about whomever and whatever you like, because you're going to do it anyway. Before you go off on a tagent about how I'm admitting defeat or some piece of shit logic like that, I have to again, enlighten you to your erroneous presumption. The truth is this: I really really don't want Zwoti to kick me in the face.
