For some reason tonight I wanted to watch a disaster movie. Clearly not Towering Inferno, which I did see when it was released, before I lived in a tower, and I've seen Poseidon. Perhaps I should have watched Snakes on a Plane, or rewatched the original Jaws. This is possibly to avoid hearing anymore about our own Australian disaster of a couple of days ago. I feel emotionally drained.
I consulted the oracle, aka Google, for a good disaster film, and I chose 2012. What a load of crap. I so want the featured family to die, and soon. The noise and loudness of the film is horrible, and I've turned it right down to a level where I cannot really hear the inane dialogue, but still it is loud.
Better that I again watched Shelley die on a ship.
I'm in a bit of a mood tonight. Can you tell?
When I need a break from reality, I watch sci-fi.
ReplyDeleteSorry, would not work for me.
DeleteIt reads like the kind of weary irritation that comes from being emotionally overloaded
ReplyDeleteYes, you could describe it as such, Roentare.
DeleteI can feel your pain. I am extremely stressed right now and want to curl up into a ball and hibernate.
ReplyDeleteReally JC? We have to work to keep our mental health in a good state. Remove triggers, to start.
DeleteNever ever ever watch a disaster film. Even if it is a good film, the impact on your brain will be disastrous.
ReplyDeleteHels, they don't worry me. I watch a number of train crash investigations where lives have been lost, but I still use trains.
DeleteWeve been not watching the "rolling "coverage, thank goodness the cricket starts today.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I would go from from tears to boredom if I did that, but it is good that you can distract yourself, without forgetting.
DeleteHow about the first Airport (1970)? Worth watching just to see Helen Hayes stowaway on that plane.
ReplyDeleteis that the one based on the book by whatshisname? Arthur Hailey.
DeleteKirk, I think I saw that, but I have no memory of it. I was trying not to watch an older film.
DeleteChill out Andrew! Why the **** did you want to watch a disaster film anyway? Try following "Skote Outdoors" on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteIt looks ok to watch. They seem to live in a very challenging location.
DeleteI was in a stinking bad mood last night and I blamed a difficult interaction with my mother but maybe there were other factors.
ReplyDeleteI also ate a very large piece of cheesecake. I think we are all on a reassessment train right now
Kylie, we all have such days. I wish I'd had cheesecake last night.
DeleteI always thought Snakes on a Plane was comedy, though I've never seen it. I remember liking Poseidon when I saw it. Towering Inferno too.
ReplyDeleteRiver, I don't know. I thought it was serious. I remember the fix for the burning tower, and it could work in my building.
DeleteYes I can tell! :)
ReplyDeleteWel the original Jaws is not awesome anymore. Poseidon is not the same anymore but then is anything the same anymore - no! Andrew.
Today we visited a friend and did a lot of laughing and talking, the day before we had two other friends for lunch. A good break from such sadness.
