Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Secretly Not Here Any More Started conversation Nov 1, 2003
With it being Hallowe'en (or All Hallows Eve to you and me non-Americans. I mean scaring old people into giving you stuff? That's bad) last night, me and three college buddies (being Iasha, Kat and Mike McKnight) went to see the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
To be honest, I've seen the original once and wasn't impressed, even in my shivering food poisoned state (wierd that me and Kat at least feel like shit with food poisoning like symptoms) and couldn't understand how it could scare anyone.
So last night we sit there, four of us. Mike in his iceman state simply stared at the screen with disinterest and wasn't scared until a man put his hand on his shoulder in the bogs. Iash was hiding behind her bag and only came out when she tried to borrow a phone to return a text message. She wanted to leave half way through. Kat hid behind her jacket which led to me pointing out that while she's screaming to the screen "wood won't stop a chainsaw" she was hiding behind a thin piece of denim.
I started off well, with a bit of a Texas-style "Yee-Haw" the first time Leatherhead came on screen, but as the film progressed with the "meathook" scene, and various chases I was seen to attempt to hide behind a sleeve of Kat's jacket muttering "End the film. End the ing film, for s sake, end the film NOW!" But my piece de resistance was actually being scared by a change in music of the credits which led to me spinning round, seeing the words "BASED ON TRUE EVENTS" on the screen and proceeding to bugger off asap.
Now, in the cold light of day I'm pretty embarrassed, not least by the fact I had to sleep on Kat's couch due to not wanting to wander across a 200yard field at 2am.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Good film, if you let yourself be scared by it and sit with people likely to be scared, BUT not as scary as the Leeds vs Arsenal game will be in 3 1/2 hours time. Eek.
Keep on Trukkin'

Update: It's not food poisoning, there's only me got it and I feel like death warmed up.
