Do you remember the movie/book Dreamcatcher by Steven King?
Not the greatest book/movie ..but this isn’t a review.

Recall the last scene where the worm had almost made it to the water supply…and got squished at the last second.
When you look around at the planet today..
Do you ever wonder if long ago…such a worm actually made it!
While I was looking for suitable pictures …I ran across this review…

I did not write this brief story!…it is stolen from the net!
This doesn’t work, so Jonesy runs out to the shed and rampantly searches for some duct tape to seal up the toilet which will free his friend Beaver, who is having a crisis of his own. His trembling hands let loose his batch of toothpicks and he scrambles to grab one while still trying to contain the alien. Again – his toothpicks. He reaches and reaches, but the worm gives a couple of warnings that if Beaver stands up for even a second, it is going to leap out of his prison bowl and unleash some alien ruckus on everything still alive in the house. But Beaver doesn’t heed this threat and continues to stumble on and off the seat for his nerve calming, life saving, everything’s gonna be fine toothpicks.
I am a smoker.I have smoked for 15 years and I’m smoking right now. Just now I couldn’t think of a sentence and smoked again. But you bet your bloody ass if not having a cigarette was the only thing keeping an extraterrestrial shit monster from devouring my black lungs, I would wait the four hours it’s going to take my friend to come back from the shed with some duct tape to save my nic-fitting, shivering body. I wouldn’t care if it was the magic cigarette-spawning-cigarette that would plant nicotine seeds throughout my cabin which would grow a constant supply of cigarettes so I could live my smoke filled life saving a bunch of money every week like my friends tell me I could, I’m keeping my ass planted on the toilet I should never have sat on. I’m not going anywhere without that duct tape. And not just because my life would be in jeopardy, both from the alien and the damage from smoking, but primarily because every single tile in this bathroom is overflowing with Rick the hunter’s ass blood. But that doesn’t seem to stop the Beaver from wanting to put it in his mouth..
Dos… As you watch some movies..
have you ever kinda started pulling for the monster?
thinking??
If that idiot does one more stupid thing ….!

he/she deserves to die!

Maybe you should check out Frankricci’s Xanga. His fiction always blows my mind … literally … love and brains splattered on the wall make for an eye-opening read … he’s got interesting perspectives.
As for the monsters … they are me and I am them.
:fun:
I definitely root for the bad guy every once in a while. The stupidity of the good guys always disgusts me. “Hmm… the bad guy is about to hack me up with an aze. How about I sit here and gaze, awestruck at it coming down on me?” The question is- is it better to be evil and intelligent, or stupid but good?
I am proud to say I have never read the book, nor seen the movie. Mention of a fecal alien was enough to deter my minute curiousity. If only he would retire as he’s promised, if only, if only.
Do I cheer for the monster? Darn straight. I’m also a fan of the Darwin Awards. We need lifeguards for the genepool and mandatory sex ed in schools.
But aside from removing stupid people from the breeding population, monsters also provide more intelligent specimens of the human race the impetus to improve and excel.
Monsters are so misunderstood.
Well, the scalding discussion that arose out of nowhere today is—Is Allah another name for Satan???:eek:

Do you mind if I always love to read your expressions?
i’ve found some help interpreting dreams using dreammoods.com you can put in a key word and search and it will come up with something interesting.
Hmmm I skipped the part abouot dream catcher as I am still debating to read it or not. but as to movies I much preferr piraian ( sp?) victories because happy endings rarely (if ever happen in real life.) thats prob. why I used to enjoy the Twilight zone and alfred hitchcock movies so much let the moster eat 4/5 of the population and go back to sleep for another 1000 or so years…. maybe thats why the events you posted of 2 or 3 posts ago do not cause me any concern.
horror flicks..the dumb girls and idiot guys in those movies always kill me…love the mosquito comic…reminds me to always wear a helmet when needed..lol
:spinning::spinning::shysmile:I was meditating on the candle quote today,or the essence of it…beautiful…Albert was REALLY smart and wise to boot….

re your comment: I had hoped for more. Was that deliberate? lol
btw use detergent, strong hehe
the answer is three, you have three, maybe more.

I always cheer on the monster, he’s the Woody Allen of the film
naw…Savon:lookaround: …that wasnt the comment…that was just to let you know I had read it! :wave:
Do I have them or do they have me….:eek:
