Had a date last week, a little date, watched a movie with a gal and she was a
little younger
than me.
She'd never seen Scream, the movie.
You know, she knew about it.
This is not a child.
This is an adult.
This is a legal adult.
I don't date children.
And I never have either.
And you could write that down somewhere and you could write that in ink because
that's
damn facts, baby.
And, uh, and, um, what's I talking about?
Oh, she'd never seen Scream.
And so we're watching, I hadn't seen the movie in probably about 12 years or
something.
So we're watching it and it just like, it wasn't scary to her at all.
It's not scary.
It's still, I mean, it was never like super scary.
I mean, it was kind of scary.
Look, some of it, some of it was kind of scary, especially in the beginning,
you know?
When the lady's doing that popcorn and he's on the phone and he's like, don't
hang up.
Um, because the skit, the thing that I noticed she couldn't relate to was she
couldn't relate
to just not having a cell phone and not having like, to her, it seemed
ridiculous.
Like, well, why didn't the person just use their cell phone?
Like, and that's, it was just so much easier to scare people 20 years ago
because that you
had the one, you had the, just the one phone in the house.
And if you didn't know, have access to that, that was a wrap daddy.
That was a, that was the rapture.
It was, I mean, you know, it was just so like, like if there was somebody
coming into your
house, you didn't have a phone in your bed, you know, like it just, it was such
a, it was
such a, um, just a different time when fear, there was so much more propensity
for some
real ass fear.
Now you got to catch somebody who hasn't charged their phone and really gas
them up like that
and dagger them down or something or, you know, shoot them with fire or
whatever.
But back then, baby, you could really, you could do some damage because shit,
people didn't
have that, they didn't have that access to be able to like, get out of the
situation or
to evade whatever the reality was.
You had to be right there in the moment.
And this shit was scary.
And also like there had been, here's one thing I did notice watching screen.
The costume, the scream guy, the scary person, the murder.
He looked like an idiot.
He looked like a, like just a Halloween costume.
Because remember at the time, like that was the first time whenever, whenever I
first saw
it, that was the first time I'd ever seen it.
So I didn't know that like, this could be a Halloween, you know, like I'd never
seen it
as a Halloween costume.
But this gal, she'd seen it as a Halloween costume so many times, it just
seemed completely
ridiculous to her.
And I just thought that was kind of interesting, man.
How scary things become less scary because like things from the past become
less scary
because they've been so like commercialized or burnt out or just overused that
they've become
almost like a, um, like a meme in a way, you know, or like a, uh, like a
popular thing type
of thing.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
Who cares?
Hope you enjoyed that video and you can watch another and you can watch this
one.
You can watch this one.
Different options, different choices.
Some guy just brings you a one option, not this guy, two options.
Watch one.
This one or this one.
Thank you.
