Does a person who remains silent in a very tense situation concern you?

Sorry that has happened to you. People are such a-holes. 

:)  Thanks. 

Wow -- that is disturbing and chilling to me!  (In a great way, somehow, though! Due to the fact that I immediately fell into the moment of the image. Yikes. All four people nail the moment in four different ways to me.)

In a great way? You know that's probably what happened to Jaimie, right? 

Jane or I are probably next. How can you say in a great way? 

:P
=)

:)
Sorry about that.

I meant the image in a "great" way in only a similar way that I found director Michael Haneke's original (not his own later remake) 1997 "Funny Games" film:  it's THE most disturbing movie I've ever seen so far in my life but it's also one of the very best. I immediately declared it a masterpiece for me. No gore, no overt violence, no blockbuster special effects. A quiet little incredibly devastating-to-me movie.
"Great."

:) 

I was teasing, of course. :)

I'm still not watching that film. The stuff of nightmares! 

Yes, i knew you were joking but I appreciate your reply.  :)

I mention this movie a lot. Can't remember what I've said about it. So, in case I already said it, forgive me but:  after seeing the movie, I read up on it. Haneke did not agree with the "Hollywood Blockbuster" approach top film violence  - he believed violence should not be "entertaining" for an audience to watch. He believed a violent film should be uncomfortable for people to watch/experience. And his "Funny Games" certainly achieved its goal.
It's so quiet. And the cast is flawless to me. and there are some scenes, on in particular, that I have NEVER seen done in any movie. At that particular scene, I swore out loud, threw my remote at the TV (luckily I have bad aim), stopped the movie and went outside in the late evening and took a walk.

(and, just to let you know I wasn't COMPLETELY disturbed -- that's actor Arno Frisch in the poster image - - yeah, I certainly noticed his attractiveness, ha. And it's not even a very good image of him to me. I've seen him since in other movies, too - - great actor to me.)


And I did see your, and others, answers to my recent music question. I have to go to work now, though. I will get to it. But I did see the opening moments of that music video and loved it.  :)

I came back to say - -- yeah, the original "Funny Games" is sort of potentially nightmarish.
:)

 

  “ . . . that's probably what happened to Jaimie, right?”

  Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the phone, Joan! I have NOT been hauled into police headquarters and questioned about any involvement of anything untoward having happened to poor Jaimie, so I’m obviously not a suspect! Heck, she hasn’t even been reported missing by anyone. She’s probably run off with her movie-watching buddy, or the Amazon delivery man, or a marriage counselor, or a moose doctor, or a snow engineer, or a Molson’s salesman, or a judge at restraining order court, or a maple syrup engineer, or a Mountie, or a divorce lawyer, or a ski waxer, or a hockey game announcer, or a winter coat manufacturer, or a tree surgeon, or a coffee grower, or any of dozens of other prospects. A Canadian woman doesn’t show up around here and you think I had something to do with it. Grrrrrrr.

Well, let's hope you're right. For your own sake. 

Interesting point there, yes.

Yeah, I find that most tense situations don't magically solve themselves. 

Did you ever watch 'The Facts of Life'? Mrs. Garrett's 'talk about your problems' philosophy really had an impact on my young, impressionable psyche. 

:)

I didn't watch the show a lot. But I've seen it. I can hear Mrs. Garrett saying that kind of help.  :)

I always thought that "Natalie' was funny - - I think that was the character's name.

I watched religiously until the last season or so. When Mrs. Garrett left. Chloris Leachman's character was a complete bust in my opinion. 

Yes, she was funny, probably my favorite. Blair was the worst. Snotty biatch. ;)

:)
:)

I'm thinking I might remember hearing that Leachman joined the show at some point.
