    Well, Jebus. Now I feel bad. Let's call it at 17%. FAIR AND GENEROUS.

    Alright, I suppose I can live with that.

    I agree with Milkman. It's not really all that bad. I normally can't stand horror, but this was alright. My own imagination was much, much worse.

    Ditto. I scare super-easy and have bad dreams if I watch disturbing things... Blinky was pretty ok. It's more creepy than really frightening.

    I assure you. it's not as scary as you think. heck the fact that you *know* it's scary makes it not scary *at all*, it spoiles it. that's why the director himself recommend to view it un-spoiled by not viewing images and not reading any comments on the video's page.
    It's not scary, it's funny and dramatic. With a little dark-humour.
    if you were fine with portal's humour, you'll get along with this just fine too.

    This. A thousand times, this.

    Pre 1900s eschatology and general views of the church were that Christians were massacred.

    Companies are fun. Here's a fun experience by me.

    Hi, Micheal, this is _______. We would like to inform you your appointment for a job interview is on __________, ______ __.

    I get to the appointment, right as somebody else gets there for an interview as well. The people in charge come out and I ask about my interview. They look at me and go:

    Job interview? Oh...um...yeah...well....um....the job is filled.

    Then they usher in the other interviewee as fast as possible.

    Fuck that guy, too. Hell, both of you come to Georgia. We'll record a metal album with all of our rage.

    Tell me how I can watch The Nightmare on Elm Street and not have a single moment of fear (Come on, it wasn't THAT campy), watch Supernatural and get BORED, and then watch this and have it be the scariest thing I've seen.

    Well, The Nightmare on Elm Street was more of a comedy-horror film than a horror film IMO. I mean, it was about as scary as Home Alone, let's be honest here, people.

    People.

    People.

    Come on, people.

    People.

    Little peoples.

    Let's be honest here, peoples.

    @Remolay:
    I think you took it too seriously/had real sympathy for Alex.
    All character's in this short are gray.
    approach the short again not caring about any of the characters.
    each time afterwards, put you feet into their shoes.
    maybe you forgot the scene where Blinky falls in love for the female robot.
  • edited March 2011
    People just don't show enough sympathy for robots. Speciesists.
  • edited March 2011
    They don't know humans can be as "cruel" as robots can be too.
    I mean, look at infants, they have no values at all, so they can kill someone with a knife or something while laughing gorgeously.
    Does that make the baby evil?
  • edited March 2011
    Blinky just wanted to be his friend.
  • edited March 2011
    ^ exactly ... well, that's one view you can have towards this short out of many ...

    To be fair, Blinky didn't do anything he wasn't told to do. Poor little guy.

    Thank you! The kid is the real villain, here.

    Even the kid's not all bad though. He had unrealistic expectations from the start... he desperately hoped Blinky would somehow stop his parents fighting and save their relationship, and was inevitably terribly disappointed when that didn't happen. He then proceeded to rail against the robot, taking out his frustration on one of the few things in his life over which he had any control.
  • edited March 2011
    Oh don't get me wrong, that kid was an idiot. The part where he said that scared me the most, because you never tell that to a robot. Especially one where the three laws of robotics haven't been mentioned once.

    That's why I say all characters are gray, the short's so true to life ...

    Let's just say everyone is a dick here, then. Except, maybe, FemmeBlink. Possibly the cops. Then again, I think it's in LA; so they may be fresh back from Rodney Kinging someone.

    The part where he says kill everyone.

    I don't like anything involved with death most of the time, I don't like saying death. I don't like saying kill, really. I do, when I'm talking about some monster in something. But that got me, for some reason. Fiction doesn't usually get me. so that's really why I went with "That"

    The dog seems pretty ok too, although she didn't really get a lot of screen time. Tough to make a call on her.
  • edited March 2011
    Okay, am I the only one who's more scared of those eyes than anything else? Because I've already had nightmares about being killed by the thing. Nightmares. As in plural.

    You might be on to something, there. Good call, Puzzy.

    In other news, everyone gets a nickname from me. For example, Puzzlebox is Puzzy.
