I saw Event Horizon when I was like ten or eleven. I saw IT when I was about the same age. I used to stay up and watch old reruns of Alfred Hitchcock Presents with my dad.
...I'm not convinced that that was a good thing.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoI'll grant you Event Horizon (I haven't seen the other too). I was scared shitless for a long time after this movie.
- angersock 12y agoOn the plus side, it kind of planted the seeds of insanity required for my current career doing web development in enterprise healthcare. Where we're going, we won't need modern practices.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoYeah. I think I'm gonna rewatch it soon as I've been tasked to bolt on WSDL support to a REST API app just because the top can save some money on an outsourced mobile app, whose developers have automated class generators for WSDL... Libera te tutemet ex inferis...
- scarygliders 12y agoA bit offtopic but relevant to your post: When I was an SGI customer support engineer, I repaired an SGI system for one of the film video production companies in SOHO in London - one of the SGI's was being used to render a scene in Event Horizon in which a fire extinguisher was being blown past the camera by an explosion. Loved the movie when it came out.
- Zelphyr 12y agoWhen I saw Event Horizon I thought, "that... SUCKED!" But then, I was an adult at the time. I wonder if it was like seeing Salem's Lot as a kid vs as an adult? As a kid it terrified me (well, the floating kid in the window scene anyway) but as an adult I wondered how such horrible acting and filmmaking could ever get green lit. I've heard the same from others in my generation.
- davesque 12y agoI saw Event Horizon in the theater when I was seventeen or so and I was traumatized. That movie was pretty twisted. I felt completely exhausted when I came out of the theater.
