I like scary things.
I like scary movies — not gory, mind you, but scary. I saw all three Paranormal Activity films (even the last one which spit all over the franchise) and can’t wait for Daniel Radcliffe’s new venture The Woman in Black.
The trailer totally creeps me out.
I like scary TV shows, too. American Horror Story is easily the spookiest thing I have ever seen on television (next to Dark Shadows from my childhood days).
Being scared — if only for an instant — is big fun.
But getting a friend request from your unborn child on Facebook? That’s sick scary….as in just a little too real to laugh about later.
But that’s how Olla Condoms, a Brazilian company, has chosen to market their products. They randomly select men on Facebook, create a fake profile for their unborn sons and then send friend requests with the message “Avoid surprises like this. Use Olla Condoms.”
Jeepers creepers.
It reminds me of a Halloween card that Shoebox had in their line years ago — they may still. It featured a women on the cover saying, “For Halloween, I wanted to send you the scariest card I could find.”
Inside it said, “I’m pregnant.”
Talk about scary — I couldn’t even hold the card in my hand.
Who is that masked Longbottom?
It has been two years since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II was released in theatres, bringing the decade-long movie franchise to its satisfying conclusion. The ending evoked a lot of emotions from us all, one of the more surprising being –
Neville Longbottom is a hunk!
First and foremost, I like pretty things, and Matthew had become one. But as a geek whose own awkward period extends even into today, I was gratified to see how far he had come during the 10-year span…and gave his movie connections no small amount of the credit.
But it turns out the studio’s efforts were actually in the opposite direction.
Matthew Lewis was never the chubby, ear-sticking-out, buck-toothed character that we saw on screen. The wardrobe and makeup departments created Neville’s persona and ‘plopped it down’ — fat suit and all — upon Matthew’s more leading man frame. They even used extra-large shoes because that’s how JK Rowling described him in the her novels.
That’s why Neville was such a ‘boy toy’ surprise in the final film!
