childhood trauma
hehehe thanks for the different variations carl.
Anyway, that last post was from Stephen King’s IT. No, i didn’t read the book, i saw the tv-movie when i was around 9 years old. That was the 2nd time in my life i had to swallow my pride and go to my parents’ room to keep the scary clown from getting me. The first time was when i watched ‘the beast must die’ (warewolf-whodoneit type) (i can’t believe i still remember this!) with my grandparents while my mom and dad were out on some weekly meeting. I was around 5 years old then, so bed time was like 8 pm. i wound up staying up till around 9 with my yaya just waiting for my parents to come home and guard me while i slept. That was a special night in the siason household, nearly smothering myself sleeping under the blankets aside, my parents let me sleep in their room, WITH THE AIRCONDITIONER ON (yeeeuh!!!).
…i take back my previous statement about it being the 2nd time i had to swallow my pride and go to my parents’ room. It was technically the first, since back with the ‘the beast must die’ incident, i didn’t have any so-called pride to swallow…
Back to IT, scariest f-in movie of all time… it’s a story of a group of friends, probably in their pre-teens, in a sleepy town in Maine. They’re pretty much your average ‘losers’ (they called themselves that), bonded together by their social stigmas. It was around the time they all started hanging out that kids from the town started disappearing. Anyway long story short, something evil was in Derry, Maine, and it came in the form of pennywise - a clown. They defeat it as kids (or so they thought), but now, 30 years later, Derry has again found its kid-population dwindling. One of the friends (now a detective) who stayed behind, knows exactly what’s happening and calls on his old group to honor the pack they made as kids to return, should IT come back…
This post at imdb made me laugh:
There honestly was a whole generation who saw this movie as kids and have been scared of clowns ever since.
Why the hell did my dad let me watch this!?
i feel like a film critic hehehe, anyway, cool movie, and i recommend all of you watch it. Back in college, i convinced my friends to rent it while we were vacationing with them in Cebu. Sad part was, by the time we got to watching it (at Kaye’s cool-ass crib), i was too drunk to pay attention, and pissed everybody off with my commentary (Bobby!) and childhood stories (like what i’m doing now). We ended up just drinking. Sigh, i guess sharing my childhood with friends will have to wait…
