Carrie - This was so much scarier than the sci-fi drive ins I'm used to. The scariest movie I've ever seen, I think. I almost turned it off, but it was really well made. The camera is dynamic in a way that makes you feel the stress, it's somehow vulgar and tragic at the same time. Relatable, in a weird way. Not the powers that kill everyone part, but the fear and shame attached to sexuality.

It was good. I'll never watch it again.

Alice Sweet Alice - I couldn't finish it. The murder during Holy Communion was too much.

Grease - I loved it, just like you thought I would :) I liked the romance, the music, all of it. I've watched it three times already. That song 'Hopelessly Devoted' is stuck in my head.

Rocky Horror Picture Show - I liked this one too. Not as much, it was silly and racier than I would prefer. I liked the songs, though. The performers all seemed like they were having fun.

The Wolf Man - Kind of made me miss home, since it's older, something I might have been able to see in a theater myself. It was sad. But not as terrifying as Carrie, which was good.

Oh no, not at all. I just like to go to the matinee on the weekends, it takes my mind off things.

I can understand that. When I was a kid, I snuck into a movie with my sister called Cat People. Do you know it?

I was expecting some violence. But not in the church.

I think it's easy to dismiss a message when it's hidden under the sensationalist bits. Not everyone will want to wade through the buckets of pig blood to get to it, and that's okay. That doesn't mean the message isn't there.

I was about twelve, so it would have been the early 40s. It's about a woman who's afraid to consummate her marriage because she thinks she's been cursed to turn into a panther if her passions run too high. And there's the question the whole time of whether she's crazy or she really is cursed. So that's about the fear of sexuality too, always being lonely because you don't think you can love the right way, without ruining everything. Knowing you can never have a normal life, because of something wrong inside you that you can't control. It's not as violent or over the top as Carrie, but you might like it.

No murder in the church, please :)

There's enough real horror in the world that our energy would be wasted getting angry about the fictional ones.

I don't know if it's that insightful. It's barely even subtext. But that's sweet of you.

Yeah, I am. Catholic.

Thank you. Maybe we can watch it together, after Halloween.

Can I ask why you left?
holyposition: (though you say that i'm no good)

For acting? That's really overblown. Nobody says that to stage actors or musicians.

War and poverty and discrimination corrupt the youth, too. And worse, I'd say. They should worry about that.
