And so i went to see cowboys and aliens at the movies earlier tonight which i have to say was alot of fun. First of all i have a morbid fear of aliens. morbid, it all started when i crawled out of bed one night and hid behind the couch while my parents were watching Encounters of the Third Kind, and i vaugley remember a scene of the aliens going into a house and there was a little girl who i thought at the time looked horribly like me. It started a fear that is still with me at the age of 25.
The awful thing about this whole experience of being terrified was i was loosing a tooth at the time and i sat there wiggled it from it tender root while transfixed on the screen and out it popped between that painful self inflicted experience and the terrifying images of big white heads with dark beady eyes, i have been scarred for life.
The whole phobia of aliens went on through every milestone.
Steven Spielbergs ET became a face of my fear, he was commonly used and abused by my mother who would bribe me with if you don't eat your dinner ET will come down and eat it for you, which had me smashing food into my face faster then you could say ET phone home.
The phobia is still there its just died down a little, i wouldn't say its completely gone but i did just voluntarily sit in a film for two hours and see so many ghastly looking aliens creatures that abducted the towns people and had them hooked up to some weird slimy contraction and forced them to look at the light. Ok so i may or may not have a nightmare tonight.
the reason i did go and see the film was because of the boy, well him and Margaret and David giving it hesitantly three stars. Im glad i did, i semi conquered a fear, stepped outside my comfort zone, got to see some great cinematography and not to mention seeing the amazing Olivia Wilde naked.
Cowboys and aliens - 4 stars
