People in Horror Movies Have No Foresight

One of the reasons I don't like horror movies is how stupid the people are. While I do understand the concept of dramatic irony, I think some of these situations should be fully understood by the characters. If you hear a scream, you don't walk toward danger to "investigate."


Why do people in horror movies always go investigating graveyards at night time?

If you see a terrifying figure in the window of your car, multiple times while you're in the graveyard....why would you get out of the car to investigate?

If people in the town you live in are getting murked left and right, wouldn't it be in your best interest to pack up and move on down a few cities? I've seen those houses people in movies live in. They definitely have the money...the recession isn't affecting them that badly.

When being chased by a killer, WHY THE HELL DO YOU RUN UP THE STAIRS? Jump out a window on your first floor and run like the wind. A few scars on your arms and legs > Death.

If I'm with a group of people in a shady place... no...we are not splitting up to cover more ground. I'm black. I know what happens to the lone black man.

"Hey, is anybody home? Billy? Hello? Anybody there? Ok, I'm gonna get naked and take a shower." - no explanation needed. Sudden instant mega death sequence.

And while we're on it, let us examine the classic cheesy action flick:

You know, the "We clearly outnumber this good guy here, but let's attack him one at a time." -_- What kind of criminals are you guys?

On that rare occasion when the villain has the good guy caught (e.g. a gun to his head while he's standing with nothing), don't try and be clever by giving some long diatribe. You know he's thinking of something; just dead him and you win. Of course, odds are if you're the bad guy your clip is probably empty at this point or by some "miracle" the safety is on.

How did they get King Kong off Skull Island? They thought they were slick by just cutting to the next scene in New York? SMH.

Yay for Cake with Sprinkled Frosting

Does rain ruin lives on purpose?
Tagged along with Max and Monica on to help her sell some shoes to Laune.
Ended up dropping my phone in a gutter full of water in front of Sprinkles and now i'm disconnected from the world. RL Fleece Zip Hoodie front pockets FTL.
Plenty of adventures in between:








It's not ok to park in the lot. It's not ok to park in front of the unmarked fire hydrant.
But it is ok to park on the red curb in front of the prison? Hmmm.


Cue "The Who."






Hollywood & Vine. Renovated theater turned brand awareness pop up. Laune was the tour guide.























Ha.








How ironic that I find myself in a crate of old jazz records.








Bittersweet.


Max noticed that the first thing i took out was my memory card. Hilarity ensued. She obviously already knew why.

Why Not Scissors?

For years, people have been slapping high fives (this shall represent "paper").


More recently, since maybe the late 1970s/early 1980s, hip hop brought us the fist bump (this shall represent "rock"). It's also known as the "Terrorist Fist Jab" in some neo-con circles and RNC offices around the country.





It's time to complete the holy trinity of celebratory hand gestures. I present the "scissors greeting:"

Fact #202

Greenwood is a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As one of the most successful and wealthiest African American communities in the United Stated during the early 20th Century, it was popularly known as America's "Black Wall Street" until the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921. The riot was one of the most devastating race riots in history and it destroyed the once thriving Greenwood community.

The community mobilized its resources and rebuilt the Greenwood area within five years of the Tulsa Race Riot and the neighborhood was a hotbed of jazz and blues in the 1920s.^[8] However, the neighborhood fell prey to an economic and population drain in the 1960s, and much of the area was leveled during urban renewal in the early 1970s to make way for a highway loop around the downtown district. Several blocks of the old neighborhood around the intersection of Greenwood Ave. and Archer St. were saved from demolition and have been restored, forming part of the Greenwood Historical District.

Fact #201

McKinley Morganfield “Muddy Waters” (1913 – 1983) is considered the “Father of Chicago Blues” with his infusion of the electric guitar into the Delta country blues. Muddy Waters was influential to some of the most popular rock bands, such as the Rolling Stones, who named themselves after his popular 1950 song "Rollin’ Stone."
