creepy

saw dead silence last night, a movie i knew nothing about except it looked delightfuly cheesy and creepy. it had all the things i love in a horror film including scary dolls and donnie whalberg (who was really good!), but i had forgotten how fun it is to see a horror movie in the theater. behind us there was a group of teenage girls and boys, and at the especially intense parts they screamed and jumped and spazzed out, disolving into giggles when they quieted down. there were a few startling moments, to be sure, but i think i was more startled by them. it was fun. watching a scary movie on a big screen is totally different from watching it at home on my little tv, and i needed a palate cleanser so i came home and watched a decidedly non-horror film.

it was a fun night, and that's all you need to know. however, i think it's worth pointing out that i've had more fun in colorado this last month than i've had EVER here. maybe i expected too much from it here, and now that i expect nothing i can finally appreciate it. maybe i've been drinking more. maybe this is the last little trick colorado is playing on me. i have no idea. thinking about it makes me tired. i can't tell if it has bigger meaning or is just a coincidence.
