It's Halloween in February or something

So yesterday I watched Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho all the way through for the purposes of shot analysis. I've never seen the whole thing before. And you know how they always show the shower scene on TV and you're thinking "Oh, this isn't THAT scary just by itself"? The scene's actually a lot better when you see the whole movie and get all the buildup that goes with it. Norman Bates really is creepy as a character 'cause he's practically the nicest guy in the whole film. Fffff Hitchcock, how did he think up some of these shots.

Need to decide what Hitchcock movie I wanna look at next...maybe North by Northwest?

Okay so somebody linked this in chat yesterday and I SERIOUSLY JUMPED OUT OF MY SEAT OMG

And finally, I drawed a thing:

Photobucket

What would happen if the DRR DRR DRR guy from The Legend of Amigara Fault and Ted from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream were to meet?

Probably nothing of consequence, but I bet Ted would be really jealous of that big gaping mouth. :|

Why no, I didn't sleep well last night, why do you ask? 8D

Drawing: Got a whole buncha stuff to work on, actually...redoing Calnavory, redoing boards, some stuff for Lunargyros, and I feel like fanarting still.

DRR DRR DRR Guy is trying to tell Ted all about what he did today and Ted really couldn't care less. :/

Well, at least the DRR DRR DRR guy can't make jokes about Ted having the hole made for him. lack of mouth and all.

lynxgriffin.livejournal.com on February 27th, 2009 06:54 pm (UTC)

Yeah, plus if Ted had a hole made for him, he'd probably be able to get through without all that much trouble. :Oa

I'm still not sure I get what compelled people to go into their holes in the first place. xDD I guess it's the same urge to jump that people get when they're at the top of a tall building.

~~IT'S AN ENIGMAAAAAA~~ And I don't know either, man. When I was a teenager I got stuck underground/was unable to move in a tunnel for a grand total of about ten seconds. That was be enough to swear me off of THIS HOLE WAS MADE FOR ME forever. D:

Dude if they had the technology to analyze the holes they had the technology to fill those fuckers with cement.

ENIGMA SOLVED

Maybe they did after a bunch of DRR DRR DRRs invaded Japan. :/a Or else someone was stupid enough to KNOCK OUT AL THE CEMENT like the girl was.

I...can't bring myself to watch it yet...because of your comments...

But perhaps I should watch it now while it is daylight outside >_>

No, you should watch it alone, at night, with all the lights off. 8Db

Why did you have to link to TVTropes I was trying to do my homework D8

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

lynxgriffin.livejournal.com on February 27th, 2009 11:41 pm (UTC)

I tried to find the actual story but I couldn't, so Tropes had a link to a PDF. D:

It wasn't even that good a story :(

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

lynxgriffin.livejournal.com on February 28th, 2009 07:07 pm (UTC)

Mostly because it was the characters are miserable at the beginning, miserable at the middle, and them even more miserable at the end. |D

I'm sure there's a term for that kind of story and I can't think of it.

The "bathtub story." Where the protagonist is sitting in a bathtub, contemplating the past and the future and what they ought to do, but when the story ends, they still haven't gotten out of the bathtub.

It's... a ball of pine tar? With teeth?

2/10 needs more scary.

It was less the ball of pine tar and teeth and more the IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO YOU sort of thing.
