The REDress REdress Project
Tina Keeper
Canada, Social Activism/Artist Documentary, 201216 min, HD, ColorEnglish
In Manitoba, over the past 2 decades, 75 Aboriginal women have gone missing or have been murdered. This documentary contrasts the concepts implicit in the targeted violence towards Aboriginal women - that they are faceless/voiceless/lifeless - against the courage and tenacity of Aboriginal women who raise their voices against violence and systemic failings, as mothers, daughters, sisters, aunties and warriors. The film also profiles the art installation "The REDress Project," by Metis artist Jaime Black, which was an aesthetic response to the 600 missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada, with the aim of drawing attention to the gendered and racialized nature of violent crimes against Aboriginal women.

When you hear the phrase "Native American music" you may not think of tubas, trumpets and Sousa marches. Yet this rich musical tradition has been a part of Native American culture for over one hundred years. The documentary profiles two contemporary Indian community bands: the Fort Mojave Tribal Band, from Needles, California and the Iroquois Indian Band from upstate New York. The documentary traces the origins of these groups to their respective foundings over a century ago and uncovers a secret history of the 20th century, when "all Indian bands" toured the US and abroad.

While taking a stroll in Buenos Aires, photo collector Pablo Cruz Aguirre came across an unusual gift. Blowing down the street was a collection of letters, postcards and photos depicting a performing duo named Derby and Groma. Desolina Merlino, alias Derby, was born 1891 of Italian descent. Samuel Salomón Gromatzky, alias Groma, was the son of Jewish immigrants in Argentina, born in 1895. The two performed acrobatic dance routines in theaters throughout Europe and Latin America in the late 1920's. With the assistance of historians and collectors, the film paints a picture of Argentina's cultural life in the early 20th century, a world from which few traces still exist. After premiering at Hot Docs in 2013, the film has continued to gain recognition at festivals like DOC NYC and the International Festival of Films on Art.

A woman fights a losing battle: one can't be poor and still want to stay among the familiar, the everyday, where one was born and raised. She can only observe, with a mix of confusion and rage, how her community is becoming deserted and sad – its children displaced to far off, ugly places. NADIE ESPECIAL is about any place where the cards seem to be forever stacked against the powerless. But with great lyricism, it also shows the resolve of some individuals to challenge their fate and restore their dignity, even if that decision furthers their isolation as they are pushed toward a last frontier. The short film was the Grand Jury Winner at the 28th Mar del Plata International Film Festival and has screened at prestigious festivals world wide.

José e Pilar is a deeply moving story about love, loss and literature. It follows the days of José Saramago, the Nobel-laureate Portuguese novelist, and his wife, Pilar del Río. The film shows their whirlwind life of international travel, his passion for completing his last masterpiece, The Elephant's Journey, and how their love quietly sustains them throughout. José e Pilar reveals the hidden Saramago, unravels any preconceived notions about him, and proves that genius and simplicity are indeed compatible. It is a funny and touching portrait on the endurance of the artistic spirit. A glimpse into the life of one of the greatest creators of the 20th century, it shows us that, as Saramago says, "There is always another way to say everything." This life-affirming film has charmed audiences and juries world wide, and was Portugal's official entry to the 2012 Academy Awards.

Fire rages at old Salamanca train depot
SALAMANCA – Salamanca Fire Department officials said they expected a raging fire at the vacant and abandoned train depot on Atlantic Street to keep their crews and crews from assisting fire departments busy well into today's early morning hours.
Tuesday evening, fire fighters could not yet enter the burning structure because of the intensity of the fire. The fire reportedly began sometime before 3 p.m. Tuesday and flames shot high into the sky in Salamanca's north end.
Officials said the building complex had been in disrepair for some time.
The cause of the fire is expected to be determined sometime today.
As of mid-evening Tuesday, no injuries had been reported injured at the fire scene.

Coppage's record-setting collegiate career heads to an end
Since arriving at UW-Whitewater in 2008 from Oak Park High School in Illinois, Coppage has torched the opposition with speed and guile, burning his name into the Division III and UW-Whitewater football record books.
�It�s been an amazing four years,� said Coppage, the two-time WIAC player of the year and recent two-time AFCA All-America pick. �It�s just so exciting going out this way.��
The No. 1-ranked Warhawks (14-0) defend their Division III national title against the No. 2-ranked Mount Union Purple Raiders (14-0) at 6:05 p.m. Friday in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl. It is a record seventh straight meeting for the national title between the two schools.
It�s Coppage�s fourth national championship game and his last chance to run wild in a Warhawk uniform. He�s hoping to repeat last season�s performance that led Whitewater to its second straight national title, a 31-21 victory over Mount Union in Salem, Va.
Coppage gained 299 yards and scored three touchdowns on runs of 54, 11, and 75 yards. The 75-yard run gave Coppage a Stagg Bowl record for individual rushing yardage, accomplished in 39 carries.
Coppage sat out his entire senior year at Oak Park with an injury. He came to Whitewater determined to make up for lost time and prove his worth.
�I had a breakout junior year, and then I missed my senior year, and that was unfortunate,� Coppage said of his high school career. �I missed the game. I came (to Whitewater) to work hard and to be an asset to the team.��
Coach Lance Leipold had to replace Justin Beaver, a Gagliardi Trophy winner who had set all of Whitewater�s rushing records.
�Justin Beaver graduated in 2007, and in 2008, in comes Levell,� Leipold said. �Boy, he made an impact.��
As a freshman, Coppage gained 1,461 yards on 298 carries and scored 21 touchdowns.
Leipold said Coppage was a quick study in the Whitewater offense.
�Talent is one thing, but you have to work,� Leipold said. �The way (Coppage) picked things up and understood the offense, he was excellent.��
Coppage had the talent and smarts, and he also had the work ethic.
�It�s a grind,� Coppage said of the football season. �From Day 1 in camp, it�s a constant grind and a long season.��
At 5 foot, 9 inches and 180 pounds, Coppage has been a record-setting force.
Coppage became the first back in UW-Whitewater and Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference history to rush for 2,000-plus yards in three seasons and the first to compile four 1,000-plus seasons.
Against UW-Stevens Point on Oct. 29, Coppage gained 245 yards on 29 carries to replace Beaver as the school and conference career-rushing leader with 6,776 yards. Coppage enters the Stagg Bowl with 7,704 career yards after gaining 2,029 this season.
Coppage also holds Whitewater records for career touchdowns (108), career rushing attempts (1,292) and single-season touchdowns (35 in 2009).
Add in that Coppage returned punts for the first time this season and earned conference special teams player of the week honors after returning five punts for 112 yards, including 37- and 42-yard returns in a 17-3 victory over La Crosse.
Coppage does it all, but he said none of it would have happened without teamwork.
�It just begins with the team,� said Coppage, who gave credit to his linemen and coaches. �It�s a team effort. It isn�t just me. It�s the other guys on the field, too.��
With one game remaining in his career, Coppage is not getting sentimental, at least not yet.
�I�m not done yet,� Coppage said. �We still have a game to play and team goals.��
Likewise, Leipold isn�t busting out a hanky to mop up tears for Coppage�s last hurrah. Like Coppage, Leipold said sentiment can wait.
�It�s better to answer that question in spring and next August,� Leipold said. �There will be seniors that will be missed, not just Levell.��
Coppage wants a shot at professional football.
�I�ve always seen myself playing football,� Coppage said. �It was dream as a kid, and now I live in the reality. I just have to be able to put myself in the situation after this season and put in the hard work.��
Playing four years of record-making winning football has had an effect on Coppage.
�I became a man,� Coppage said. �I had to go out and live in real life situations. I had to go to late meetings and early morning practices. I had to do things that prepare you for life.��

Snow art
Late February snowfalls have led to some snow art creation around Mt. Pleasant. One resident sculpted a car, top photo, from the snow. The creation can be seen on the 800 block of North Main Street. With a dusting of snowfawll this morning and more snow expected this afternoon and evening, there could be more snow art in the region. Eastern Iowa is expected to receive 4-8 inches of snowfall from the Alberta Clipper storm today and tonight, although the higher totals are predicted for northeastern Iowa. Mt. Pleasant is in the 3-5-inch range. Gusty winds are expected to accompany the snowfall tonight.

In just over a week, we'll get an extra day this year with Leap Year. How often do we get extra time? Not very often! As a stay at home mom to four, my days are incredibly busy between juggling my 1 and 2 year olds and homeschooling my 5 and 8 year olds. Some days I have to schedule time to sit down and relax. I know it sounds crazy but that's my life and it works.
Mornings are one of the most hectic times. Even though I don't have to get the kids on a school bus bright and early, it's still a juggling act between serving breakfast, doing dishes, changing diapers, wiping faces, making sure the dog gets fed, supervising my older two with their chores, and eventually settling everyone down for our morning homeschooling. Somewhere in there, hopefully I am able to grab a cup of coffee and my own breakfast. If I don't have breakfast, I don't function well so it's so important for me to have something healthy and filling and fast.
It's a good thing there's Quaker Oat Squares cereal. This delicious cereal is a favorite in our house because not only is it fast and easy to serve, but it's nutritious and everyone loves it. A box of this cereal doesn't last long around here! It's my favorite cereal too and has been since I was a kid. It has that perfect blend of light sweetness with healthy whole-grain goodness.
In light of the upcoming Leap Day this year, Quaker is presenting the Delightful Discoveries Campaign and introducing a new flavor of Quaker Oatmeal Squares: Honey Nut Crunch. This new addition joins the other well-known flavors of Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, and Golden Maple. The Honey Nut Crunch cereal has heart-healthy whole-grains, a sweet swirl of natural honey nut flavor and a crunch even milk can't bring down.
You can get a free sample of the new Quaker Oatmeal Squares Honey Nut Crunch by liking the Quaker Oatmeal facebook page.
Quaker wants to encourage us to get the most of Leap Day and to make a new discovery. Will it be spending time with family? A new book? Re-doing a room in your home? Some organizing? There are so many possibilities.
I'm not sure what my "delightful discovery" will be yet, but there is always something new everyday in my house! I'll be sharing what I discovered in another article after Leap Day.
To help you make your own "delightful discovery," Quaker Oatmeal will give a $75 Visa gift card to one Musings From a Stay At Home Mom reader!

A judge dismissed some felony charges against a former mayor and ex-councilman of the scandal-plagued city of Bell who were accused of misappropriating funds to overpay themselves.
In a ruling made public Tuesday, Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy dismissed one count of misappropriation of public funds against ex-Mayor Oscar Hernandez and two counts of misappropriation of public funds against former Councilman Luis Artiga.
Kennedy, however, denied a motion to dismiss charges against former City Manager Robert Rizzo and fellow administrator Angela Spaccia.
Prosecutors contend that Rizzo had an annual salary and compensation package worth $1.5 million and masterminded a scheme to loot the city of Bell of more than $6 million.
Hernandez and Artiga still face charges of misappropriating funds in a separate case filed by prosecutors.
"Given the reasoning of the court in today's decision, we are confident that we will prevail in trial in the other case," said Hernandez's attorney Stanley Friedman. "If there was anything illegal in the city of Bell, Mayor Hernandez was unaware of it."
Kennedy said in her ruling that Artiga and Hernandez received loans from Bell, and that there was no evidence that both men knew they were unlawfully being given the money.
Rizzo "virtually ran this loan program unilaterally" and doled out more than 40 loans worth nearly $2 million between 2001 and 2010, Kennedy wrote in her Feb. 9 ruling.
In rejecting the dismissal motion by Rizzo and Spaccia, Kennedy said they "simply set their own financial terms awarding themselves huge raises and other fringe benefits."
"This is a textbook case of conflict of interest," Kennedy said.
Bell is a city of about 40,000 where one in six people live in poverty.

Derek Jeter took one step out of the batter's box and clearly was in trouble.
Noticeably limping, the Yankees star managed to jog down the first base line. He touched the bag, turned right toward the dugout, and was done in the fifth inning of last night's 1-0 loss to Cleveland in New York.
A strained right calf stalled Jeter's pursuit of 3,000 hits. He headed to a hospital for an MRI exam, which showed a Grade 1 strain, the mildest type. The Yankees said they would determine the next step today — and they hope it's not a trip to the disabled list.
"I'm worried about him,'' Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Just keep our fingers crossed and hopefully it's not too serious.''
Jeter, who had a leadoff single for career hit No. 2,994, appeared to hurt himself on a fly out to right field in the fifth. He has not been on the disabled list since 2003.
"He just walked off the field and you could tell he was done,'' Girardi said. "You don't see him come out of games.''
Teammates, fans, and even Jeter himself had said it would be nice to achieve the milestone at Yankee Stadium. New York has three games left against Texas on this homestand, then goes on a six-game road trip to Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Cincinnati.
"It's frustrating,'' Girardi said. "He's six hits away. You'd hope he could've did it here. Obviously, he looked pretty sore.''
Jeter's single helped the Yankees load the bases with no outs in the first against Carlos Carrasco (6-3). But Jeter hesitated on Alex Rodriguez's medium-depth fly and stayed at third base — center fielder Michael Brantley appeared ready to concede the run — and Carrasco got out of the jam without allowing a run.
Carrasco pitched five-hit ball for seven innings, striking out seven and walking three. The Yankees certainly had their chances at the start against him — of their first 14 batters, seven reached base. The 24-year-old righthander set down 13 of his last 14.
The Indians had lost four in a row overall and were able to avoid a four-game sweep in the Bronx.
Michael Brantley tripled off the glove of diving right fielder Nick Swisher in the fourth, and Cabrera bounced an RBI single to left field. That go-ahead grounder stopped the Indians' 0-for-20 drought with runners in scoring position.
Tony Sipp got two outs in the eighth, retiring Mark Teixeira on a fly ball up against the right-center wall, and reliever Vinnie Pestano ended the inning. Chris Perez struck out the side in the ninth for his 16th save in 17 chances.
A.J. Burnett (6-5) rebounded from a battering by the Red Sox and took the hard-luck loss. He gave up five hits in 7 2/3 innings, walked one, and struck out eight.
Tigers 2, Rays 1 — Ramon Santiago's RBI triple in the 10th gave host Detroit a win over Tampa Bay.
With one out in the 10th, Victor Martinez singled off Kyle Farnsworth (2-1). Santiago followed with a drive to the gap in right-center. Center fielder B.J. Upton did his best to run the ball down, but Martinez scored just before the relay to the plate.
Diamondbacks 12, Marlins 9 — Miguel Montero hit three doubles and drove in four runs, and pitcher Zach Duke hit a two-run homer for Arizona in its win in Miami.
The Diamondbacks led, 9-0, in the third inning, but Florida pulled within 12-9 in the eighth on a two-run single by John Buck.
Astros 8, Braves 3 — Hunter Pence returned from a day off with back trouble and homered and drove in four runs as host Houston snapped a four-game skid with a win over the Atlanta.
Pence extended his career-best hitting streak to 23 games with a two-run homer off Derek Lowe (3-5) in the third inning. Wandy Rodriguez (4-3) allowed two hits in six scoreless innings for the win.
Cubs 1, Brewers 0 — Darwin Barney scored on a fielder's choice in the eighth inning for the game's lone run as Chicago beat visiting Milwaukee.
Cubs reliever Jeff Samardzija (4-2) worked one inning for the win, while Carlos Marmol picked up a save.
Pirates 3, Mets 1 — Paul Maholm pitched seven shutout innings, Brandon Wood homered, and host Pittsburgh beat New York to split the four-game series.
Maholm (3-7) lowered his ERA to 3.12, allowing only three hits and two walks. New York starter Mike Pelfrey (3-5) nearly matched Maholm, giving up two runs and four hits in seven innings.
Angels 6, Mariners 3 — Vernon Wells hit Los Angeles's first homer in a week in the third, then hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh as the Angels won in Seattle. It was Wells's 22d career multihomer game.
Padres 3, Rockies 1 — Anthony Bass pitched five efficient innings to win his major league debut, Ryan Ludwick drove in two runs, and San Diego won in Denver in a game delayed 83 minutes by a thunderstorm.

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 18 (Reuters) - Brazilian homebuilder PDG Realty SA posted a net loss of 222 million ($69 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, down from a 19 million reais profit a year earlier due to fewer launches and gross sales.
PDG is working its way back from an expansion program that left it with unprofitable projects, big quarterly losses and a heavy debt load. Like many of its competitors, the company is now trying to streamline and focus on inventories as it faces an uncertain economic environment in Brazil.
In a separate filing on Wednesday, PDG announced an agreement with Vinci Partners to increase its private capital by a minimum 300 million reais and a maximum 500 million reais.
The proposed capital increase will take place through a private subscription of up to 1.13 billion common shares at 0.44 reais per shares, the filing said.

More than 1.1 million Memorial Day travelers will launch summer tourism season, reports AAA
May 21, 2012, 10:31 ET from AAA Michigan
DEARBORN, Mich., May 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 1.1 million Michigan residents will travel 50 miles or more on vacation during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, launching the start of the 2012 summer travel season, says AAA Michigan. State travel is projected to be up slightly this holiday, compared to last year. AAA projects 34.8 million travelers nationally, an increase of 1.2 percent. The Memorial Day holiday travel period is defined as Thursday, May 24 to Monday, May 28.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110321/CL67889LOGO )
The iconic road trip will be the dominant mode of transportation. Approximately 30.7 million will travel by vehicle nationwide, almost nine out of ten holiday travelers (88 percent), also up 1.2 percent. Of Michigan's travelers, 973,000 – 91 percent – will drive by vehicle, slightly more than last year. They will find Michigan gas prices about $3.74 per gallon (as of May 21), down 18 cents from last year.
While gas prices rose earlier this year, a survey of intended travelers found that 53 percent said gas prices would not impact their upcoming Memorial Day holiday travel plans. Those who said prices would impact plans cited planning shorter trips and economizing in other areas as ways to offset fuel costs.
The number of air travelers in Michigan is comparable to last year -- nearly six percent. The remaining three percent of travelers will go by train or bus.
According to survey results, the average distance traveled during the holiday is expected to be 642 miles, 150 miles less than last year's average 792 miles. Last year, the shortest trips -- less than 150 miles -- made up 19 percent of total travel, compared to 21 percent this year.
During last Memorial Day weekend, Michigan State Police report nine people died in seven fatal crashes, down from 15 in 2010. One was a motorcyclist. Alcohol was a factor in three of the fatal crashes. Of eight killed in vehicles with seat belts available, three were not using them.
AAA Michigan will again partner with the Michigan State Police (MSP) in supporting Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort.) Yellow banners will be posted at rest areas statewide, with many sites offering complimentary coffee and refreshments. Operation C.A.R.E. volunteers will provide traffic safety information during the three summer holiday periods.
AAA's projections are based on economic forecasting and research by IHS Global Insight. The Boston-based economic research and consulting firm teamed with AAA in 2009 to jointly analyze travel trends during the holidays.

PC RPG Gaming - Taking the dive
View Single Post
January 27th, 2013, 17:59
Wow Fluent - you blew this topic up - good job
Still want a give a shout out to the Might And Magic's 6,7 &8. I had so much fun with 7 last week, I jumped into 8 and didn't go to bed till 3:00am (I only need 4 hours).
As far as the Gothic - I would start with Gothic 2. It has normal game controls but has the same great game experience. Then after you're hooked on the Gothic world playing Gothic 1 will literally be like going in a time machine. Some of the closed off villages in Gothic 2 are full fledged towns in Gothic 1. I wish more games were made with that deliberate intention.
Just to add some history - Gothic 1 came out the same time as Morrowwind. There were huge fanboy fights at the time about which game was the better. I sided with Morrowwind at the time and poo poohed the silly Gothic one with its ridiculous controls and inferior graphics. The fanboy fights actually made me afraid to play Gothic 1. Anyways during an RPG lull I picked up Gothic 2. And even while playing it it became my favorite RPG of all time. I soon thereafter played Gothic 1. And yes it was wonky and Morrowind does trump Gothic 1, But Gothic 2 for the win.
Two things really impressed me about the early Gothic worlds. A singular skeletin can kick your early level butt, so can a pair of woves. And when you out run an enemy they will just quit - I gothic 2 they will even call you names for running away. Compare that to most games where once you engage an enemy you stay engaged. I had an enemy chase me in and out of a house in Ovlivion even though you had to reload the game when you went from the interiour to the exterior.
As far as what i call Div Div. (Divine Divinity), I commend you for an excellent choice. Div Div is in my top 5 RPGs of all time. And there are not too many game soundtracks you will hear that will top that score. Great music, great game play and a great game. I actually had the Div Div music on many of my computers for years. However, that early dungeon did keep me out of the game for about a year. But the forum effect was so great I just drudged through it.

Jonathan Dwyer Says He Isn't Fat Anymore, Has Lost Weight
Jared Wickerham/Getty ImagesJonathan Dwyer has struggled with weight problems since entering the NFL. His stock fell to the sixth round after he came up out of shape in 2010 Scouting Combine. Dwyer then showed up overweight to training camp last year and has failed the Pittsburgh Steelers' conditioning tests.
The 22-year-old hasn't seen much playing time due to that reason. Last year, he ran for 123 yards off of 16 carries. However, with Rashard Mendenhall most likely to start the season on the PUP list due to his torn ACL, Dwyer will be seeing a lot more playing time, but he looks to drop the weight.
However, Dwyer claims he has lost 20 pounds this off-season and is in much better shape after pushing up to 240 last season.
"I am just realizing how much it takes to get where you are in this league and how hard you have to work and push yourself," Dwyer told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "This is my year to prove something to myself, the league, to the organization, that…

StatsMountains: Hagar Mtn- (13220')
Route: Started from the gate closure at the end of the dirt road off the Loveland Pass exit 216 on I70W. Climbed an E-facing gully to Hagar's summit. Ski descent.
Elevation Gain ~2600'
Distance ~7 miles
Crew: Heather, Prakash
Approach / ClimbThe TH is at the end of a dirt road off the Loveland Pass exit 216 on I70W. Dry Gulch is the valley south of Herman Gulch.
We began hiking at ~645AM aiming to make a quick attempt at Hagar and travel to Citadel if the spirits and snow were willing. The first mile of road was dry and we carried skis / snowshoes on our packs. Past the creek crossing I began skinning and Heather popped her snowshoes on.
We stayed to the left of the creek until we were up past treeline, and then crossed over.
We ascended a bench to reach the base of our gully for the day. The wind had picked up probably getting close to the 0F windchill forecast for the day.
The gully was still icy from the overnight freeze and wind. We went up part of it and threw crampons on. It was warming by the minute though and by the time we got the spikes on the snow had softened up.
SummitWe made summit just as the snow up high reached great condition for the descent. Grays and Torreys as seen from the summit…
Citadel and Bethel
Heather on the summit
I didn't plan to billy-goat off the rocky summit although I carried skis up there.
The DescentHeather begins her down-climb down an alternative route
More climbers ascending the gully
I clicked in a few feet below the top.
The group behind us collects at the top of the gully.
My descent route…
The descent, while winning no style points, was quick, and fun. After a couple low 40s turns at the very top, I'd say the body of the gully goes in the low to mid 30s.
The ski line seen from the bottom…
More great corn to get to the creek…
Back down to the road with minimal problems on the ski out. The ski through the trees is mellow downhill.

wikiHow to Sit Through a Horror Movie Your Friends Made You Watch
So, you and your friends are having a movie night, but they didn't tell you what you guys would be watching. It turns out to be a pretty scary movie - the kind you hate, and you don't want your friends to think you're a chicken. If you know what to look for, however, a lot of movies can become less scary.
1When you find out about the movie, ask if you can read the back of the DVD case. That way it'll make you feel a bit more comfortable knowing what's to come.
2Get food. Popcorn, chips, hot dogs, whatever. Just enough food to keep yourself busy while the movie's on.
3Keep a few flashlights around the couch or floor where you'll be sitting. This way if someone gets up to go to the bathroom in the dark, no one will step on you and scare the hell out of you.
4Sit between people or next to someone. It'll make you feel more secure and safe.
5Talk and joke a little bit before the movie starts. Then, once you all get silent, you'll still be smiling from the jokes and stuff.
6Think about something that will take your mind off of the movie's scariness. (ex. Kennedy from The Maine).
7Find the funny parts (ex: when a random person with no relevance to the scene suddenly enters)
Community Q&A

- Try not to eat in large quantities. You don't want to take a huge bite of your hot dog and then get to a really gory, bloody scene and get nauseous.
- Where your hair down so no one can see that you are wearing ear plugs!
- Also, keep in mind that it's all just movie magic. Ask your friends beforehand if you can watch the making of before you watch the movie.
- If you realize that there is a really bad and scary bit coming up, go to the bathroom and tell them to keep it going. Just wait until the gory bits are over. But remember, if they are your friends, they will not judge you if you are scared.
- Don't scream. Screaming is for roller coasters and when someone pours ice down your back. It'll probably scare your friends, and it'll definitely make them wonder about you.
- Always remember that the things happening in the movie are not happening to you this can help you remain apathetic and not be as scared.
- Close your eyes during the scary parts, like you did when you were six! It's childish, but it's not like anyone is watching your face in the dark room.
- If you get way to uncomfortable, just tell your friends in a friendly way that horror movies just aren't your thing. Then, laugh it off and say, "I guess when it comes to this, I'm just scared!"
- If you're sensitive to jumps cares, the website wheresthejump.com is your best friend. It has times and descriptions of jump scares in popular horror movies, so you can sneak a peek at that and know when both minor and major scares are coming!
- Try not to ask, "What's happening next?" or, "Is he/she going to die?" If your friends answer these questions, you'll only be dreading the death of your favorite character or the next gross scene.
- Don't let anyone convince you to watch scary movies if you're deathly afraid. It can traumatize some people.
Things You'll Need
- Friends
- Food
- A really scary movie
- Tight underwear (optional)
- New pants (optional)
- Flashlight
- Pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, etc (optional)(to hold or block any scary parts you see coming)
