Personally, I can’t wait!<br /><br />Regina: LOL. I’ve done that too when I’m showering at someone’s house who doesn’t have a clear curtain! Good to know I’m not alone. <br /><br />M.J.: I’ll admit to shedding a tear at the end of Moulin Rouge, but I’m kind of a cry baby. <br /><br />JM: Love that scene. I’m melting!<br /><br />Mildred: OMG! How could I have forgotten Night of the Living Dead. I had to watch it in film class and it was so much better than all the newer ones. Not to mention, that death had me all kinds of choked up. <br /><br />Annalisa: Oh! I forgot about Reservoir Dogs. There are so many good one out there it’s hard to narrow it down to a few. <br /><br />Melissa: Yeah, I should’ve polled my sister before posting this. She was a film major in undergrad. She would’ve given me some good ones. But yeah, Reservoir Dogs was a good one. And thanks for the follow! <br /><br />Michelle: The shower scene is classically frightening. No one ever wants the curtain ripped back to find a knife wielding man in drag. That’s never good!<br /><br />Alex: You’re right, 300 had many glorious scenes. And yeah, I still want my two hours back too, well, make that 4.5. Two hours for The Happening, two for The Village and 30 minutes for The Lady in the Water. Couldn’t take more than 30 minutes of that movie! <br /><br /> <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511294672797130783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869821474801945392.post-46829816203422674992013-04-04T15:02:56.197-04:002013-04-04T15:02:56.197-04:00The 300 had a glorious death scene - if you can ca...The 300 had a glorious death scene - if you can call it that.<br />And I still want those two hours of my life back from watching The Happening.Alex J.
