OMG, you are SO adult... We can all tell by how much maturity oozes in your post.  Way to one up everyone on the website without knowing anybody.  LOL!

 

Oooh, you really showed me...

 

Anyway, I think "most disturbing movie you have ever watched" would make for a more interesting thread.

Hello,

More terrifying than scary.

Well, thats because you problably have agoraphobia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoraphobia

You might wanna see a doctor, Dot Matrix. Im not making fun of you, just seriously giving you some advice :)

 

I cant remember any really good scary movie for years, but, I reckon, any woman is more than a scary movie :)

Sexist much?

:blink:

I agree with Dot Matrix, I found Gravity to be pretty terriying, albeit not in the sense that I originally thought was the intention of this thread. I was sat there watching as Sandra Bullock was completely helpless to do anything, drifting further and further away from people that were equally helpless and unable to support her. When you think of the vastness of space, how these astronauts are only attached to shuttles and stations via rope, and furthermore how that shuttle has nothing to stop it from having the slightest malfunction and causing things to go FUBAR...agoraphobia doesn't enter in to it for me, I find the situation of complete helplessness to be terrifying.

I might watch that again over my lunch break. I really enjoyed that film.

Wow, getting scared terrified by that is pretty weak; Thats what I ment that he (and yourself) might suffer from mild agoraphobia. Very wide open spaces.

I mean, I would be scared if I was in that position. But knowing its a movie, I dont know.

Then again, I think Gravity sucked so :laugh: maybe thats why I see it differently.

 

I have a friend who has a fear of open water and she can't watch that film.

Thalassophobia or aquaphobia?

Can she go to the beach? Im not sure if its being IN open water or just seeing it.

Weak? Wow, thanks for being insulting. People are scared of clowns whereas I am not, I don't call them weak for it. :no:

I don't suffer from agoraphobia. If anything it's the opposite, I hate crowded spaces and can't wait to get out in to a more open area. My issue is a lack of control and a feeling of helplessness. In the situation put forwards in Gravity there is nothing that Sandra Bullock can do to stop herself moving further away from Earth, and there is nothing Houston can do to get her back. Even if it were possible, the ship is wrecked so there goes the possibility of getting home. I could continue through the rest of the film with the various disasters narrowing down the choices and making things look more and more unlikely, but let's not ruin the entire film for others that haven't seen it.

To continue the topic, I was having this conversation with some friends last night and one of them said that the scariest film they have seen is Session 9. I've not heard of it before, and the cast and synopsis don't give me too much hope, but I told them I would give it a go sometime soon. Let's see.

I watched Alien when I was 8 years old, it was terrifying, to this day it still makes me feel uneasy watching it. Amazing work, thats how you do a monster movie, you barely show it. The suspense of wondering what the Alien would become as it kept growing kept me so on edge, and even though you only saw it for flashes, those flashes scarred me.

The 1999 version of Sleepy Hollow. Watched it as kid and it scared the living crap out of me, especially this scene :

Couldn't sleep that night. Kept dreaming I was being decapitated by the horseman.

 

These days, I usually watch horror movies with friends and we laugh harder than we would if we were watching a comedy.

No, no, no, I wasn't calling you weak. Trust me, the things I have phobias of, you would laugh your ass off :laugh: I wont say them in public because it is embarrassing.

Also, agoraphobia is, I think, for both ways: Crowded spaces and open spaces :)

I was simply stating that saying that the actors' position was terrifying is weak; I understand spooks, gore, etc. but just someone floating in space without any kind of "action" is I don't know......

Like I said, I never liked Gravity as film so.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
