Friday the 13th, or A Grand Day Out

Apr 14, 2012 00:16

Today was the best day I've had in a long time. First I discovered a tea shop that's been around for about seven years, so it's not likely to close next week. Every tea shop I've come across in Tampa is either open only 2 hours a day, or closes the week after I find it. And this place serves Iced Thai tea, which I'm nuts about ( Read more... )

That sounds like an excellent day! I'm jealous!

I didn't know Cabin was a Joss film. I have to be careful with my horror (some of that shit can fuck me up bad), but I'm usually okay with anything he does...

It was a great day!

I don't know what sort of triggers you have, but if you look at this from the standpoint of an analysis of horror tropes (a la Scream) with an intriguing perspective and refreshing interpretation, I view it more as a film and less of a horror film, if you know what I mean. I don't know if that makes it more or less attractive to you. :D

Well, to give you an idea, I can handle horror if the actual violence is tame, and the jumping moments are suspense. In other words, I'm good with movies like the Ring, Exorcist, Psycho, Scream, etc.

Hostel or Saw...no. And for some reason, Final Destination freaks me out- I think the idea of being absolutely unable to cheat death...

Although Walking Dead and SPN and Grimm have done a lot towards helping with with gore, I still don't want to see a movie revolving around it...

Oh, right, pics! I have to remember to get dad to take some for me. He's been away this past week.

It was lovely. No margaritas or pumpkin gobs, though. :D

Thai iced tea is basically a kind of strong black tea to which they add cream sugar and...I'm not entirely sure what, but it ends up being a sort of burnt orange color, being very strong and tasting absolutely lovely. I'm not even certain it's authentically Thai...I should probably look that up.

"Cabin" is not a ghost story, I can tell you that much. There were indeed ghost-type things, but only as...cameos, I guess you could say. The movie that might have messed you up on that score was Daniel Radcliffe's flick "The Woman In Black". If you're truly scared of ghost stories, don't see that. But I really think you'd be okay with "Cabin In the Woods".
