Tom Cruise, I can't resist him.
H and I decided to see War of the Worlds instead of going to the expensive theatre. Tuesday is 50 cent day at the dollar show. Fortunely, "fitty cent" wasn't there.
In case any of you still don't know this, War of the Worlds was fucking terrifying. I had no idea it was so good and scary. I have grown to love Tom Cruise's movies over the years. I resisted it, really I did. I just can't help myself...
I saw Risky Business as a young kid, whatever freakin' year that was. Too young for an R rated movie, we snuck in, thinking we were the most treacherous people in the history of our times. Sadly, the person I saw it with turned out to be a total bitch. I didn't think Cruise was so much to look at. I wasn't very impressed, even as a kid. It was a funny movie though, and I left it feeling more enamoured of Curtis Armstrong than anyone else involved.
I think later, I was very impressed with Rainman, then Interview with the Vampire, then something else, I forget what. But in Mission Impossible 2, I couldn't help but notice that Cruise was, as Rosie O'Donnell had been telling me all along, hot. I credit John Woo and his mastery of slow motion for this. He chose different speeds of slow motion for each actor in each scene so Tom curise would look hotter than Dougray Scott. And what do you know? It worked. As if I needed any more convincing, Collateral. Oh yes...Collateral blew my tiny little mind.
War of the Worlds was awesome. Strong relationships between the characters really added to the suspense. Scary monsters kept on doing terrifying things, and making Dakota Fanning scream and scream. Like the zombie movies I love so well, the scariest thing was the horrible shit people would do to eachother just to survive. Ah apocalpyse, how fascinating you are!

Basically, what I guess I'm saying is I am totally unaware of what one might consider "scary scary," let alone, just regular scary.

Sorry I just had to say it.
Which one of these is different? Which one is not like the others?
