In a stunning revelation, it turns out that most people pause DVDs in order to get a better look at cinematic nudity. Dark Horizons reports on a poll by subscription service Lovefilm that inquired as to viewers' pausing habits and came up with a list of the top ten most-paused movies in movie-dom. Most of the moments on the list are either explicitly or subliminally sexual. Standing tall at number one, for example, is Sharon Stone's infamous leg-uncrossing in Paul Verhoeven's Basic Instinct. The number two spot is occupied by a glimpse at Jennifer Lopez's backside in the otherwise unremarkable The Back Up Plan. To see the rest of the alternatively erotic and nerdy most-paused top ten, simply continue reading, left to right, top to bottom.
Halloween is only a few days away, decorations are up, there is a chill in the air, and it is the night HE came home. There is one name that is synonymous with this spooky holiday... Michael Myers.
Fear is a very natural emotion that 99.9% of this world’s occupants deal with day to day. Unlike happiness, sadness, or anger, fear clings to the soul, nestling in the mind’s memory chamber, wrapping itself around your every thought, squeezing, reminding us: the unpredictable exists. Reminding us, comfort is a state of mind, breakable in all of it’s glory, inferior to terror.
But what is so perplexing about fear, is mankind’s hunger for the sensation. We crave fear. We chew on fear, swallow, and regurgitate, all the while terrified of what newest incarnation might erupt from our inner core. And this is why we as humans, not just American’s, or the “mentally disturbed”, or the socially outcast, carry a deep love for horror films and literature.
We want to be scared. But make no mistake, we also want to know that when the lights go down, Boris Karloff won’t slink through our windows, wrapped in cloth, arms outstretched. We want to know that Bela Lugosi won’t be breathing down our necks, battling an insatiable thirst for blood. We want fear, but we want comfort as a close companion.
