I think the first time I felt an adrenaline rush was when the Emperor was blasting Luke in RotJ. I remember this intense, buzzing kind of feeling, not quite fear, just really alert and alarmed.

Oh my god. I was so fucking traumatized by robots after watching Star Wars. Something about all that exposed wiring in C-3PO’s abdomen filled little 4 year old me with existential horror.

Wampa. Attack. When you’re eight and excited to see Luke Skywalker again, that freaking beast jumping out of nowhere is the scariest thing ever.

Agreed on the unrealistic violence of Freddy/Jason making 80's slasher more funny than scary, but my favorite jump scare story is recent and due to Friday the 13th.

I was also terrified at The Empire Strikes Back, but not by anything in that movie. I was 9, and my older sister and her friend took me. The movie hadn’t started yet, I guess they went to get popcorn it something and left me by myself in the theater. Back in those days they didn’t run a million previews and…

Screw that tree scene. Not terrifying, but a helluva good jump scare.

I was about 11 when I saw Silence of the Lambs, and I explicitly was not allowed to watch slasher movies. My mom’s main issue with them was not that I’d be scared but that they were cheap and stupid, and Silence of the Lambs was not.

Snuck out of bed when I was 10 to watch that new sci-fi movie on HBO ...

The defibrillator scene from John Carpenter’s The Thing. I went at age 22 with a few friends. We had heard the movie’s special effects were pretty outstanding and we all had seen the 1951 original a few times and we were big fans so we were ready to get scared. When that scene played out we all screamed like little…

Something that struck me from the very beginning of my MAD fandom was how the masthead identified the writers and artists as the “usual gang of idiots” — it wasn’t a dodge of responsibility but a way of saying look, if everything is stupid then we’re stupid too. Stupidity is everywhere! So be ready for it. 

I discovered Mad Magazine when I was 10 years old in 1972. Because my parents thought Mad was a bad influence and didn’t want me reading it, I’d have to sneak down to the grocery store to buy an issue each month for 35¢ (CHEAP).

Well, when a movie turns out this disappointing, you can’t blame the writer for pulling a Door-dash.

Where are the movies with Wolverine? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy mutants too -
For Fassbender and MacAvoy’s acting is okay,
And J-Law’s contract won’t renew.

AV Club: Kinja was pretty disappointing.

My favorite Moby memories are of the Area 51 tour where he decided to go on after Bowie. I went to three dates and every single time the entire venue emptied after Bowie and he played to a basically empty arena.

Ahhhh.... happier times.

I’m not embarassed that I used to listen to Moby. Play was pretty much the only album that I listened to for half of 2000, the other one being Radiohead’s Kid A.

You should write a book!

I don’t know why he keeps acting like his telling of MUST BE correct when he didn’t even get right a probable piece of info: her age in that year, and seems to continue to add 2 years to her age when how old she is is, again, a provable fact.

Yeah Moby, if that was the best picture I had from dating Natalie Portman, I wouldn’t be surprised if she regretted it too.
