Hi all.

Hope you're all cool. Something I need to share with you, have been looking for a self help group but can't find one, so can you help me with my embarrassing problem?

I hate scarey films, I know it's weak, but there you go, feel better for sharing that with you already

Problem is, I've run out of excuses. Lindsay has just informed that I have to watch a film tonight called 'Snakes on a Plane', which is on Sky Movies. It isn't going to be pleasant, the name tells me that. So excuses, PLEASE.

PS. As i'm confessing, i also can't watch films which embarrass people (know, not that sort of film), for instance, i really like Norman Wisdom films, however, I get to embarrassed for him. I know it is sad but there you go. I feel much better for sharing that with you.

I wouldn't worry about snakes on a plane. You will probably fall asleep, it is so bad. Paint a wall and watch that instead , much more entertaining.

It's very easy. No film called 'Snakes on a Plane' can be any good - after all, the title tells you all you need to know. There's a plane. There are snakes on it. It will probably crash unless the hero can kill all the snakes - which he will 'cos he's the hero and that's what heroes do. So, now you can tell your better half exactly what happens with authority. Knowing this, she'll figure out that it's going to be more fun watching something else....

In theory. Normal disclaimers apply. Not tested on animals or girlfriends...

Now would be a good time to tell her you have a Snake phobia, Throw in something like " Well Ok dear, But you do have the emergency doctors number to hand don't you " Or at the very leasy some smelling salts.

If that fails, Then it has to be that all time show stopper """ I'm Sorry dear, But I Fart uncontrolably, When ever I see a Snake """

If that fails then she obviously has no sense of smell, And it's game over.....

""""" Enjoy The Film """" .......

Is there any reason why you have to watch this movie? Could you not point out to her that because you have this phobia you would much rather she enjoyed the film without having to worry about you fainting and such. That might bring out her caring side and she will either watch the film alone or insist on watching one you both enjoy.

Unless of course she has a secret phobia - and wants you to be all strong and manly so she can hang on to you at the scary bits (although there are no scary bits but you can always pretend they are ..) and see what develops ..



There is always more to these 'we much watch this film together' comments than most men realise .. ahem ..

looks nonchalant

[edit] lol Doug .. I am soooooo wanting to embroider that with a little tale of my own .. I really am ..

I told my now ex that I was scared of scary films but still we had to watch one, probably not even scary to most people but the bit in Alien where that 'thing' leaps at the glass tank it was in sent me and a full glass of red wine up in the air and back down on a new sofa... we never did watch another 'scary'

Quote: I'll be the strong moody type, just hope this film is as naff as you say

Oh good. And it is. But stand by with the comforting arm. And be manly, not moody. (Moody is not good in these circs.) Open a bottle of wine, maybe. Turn the lights down.

Quote: I hate scarey films, I know it's weak,

Me too. I hate horror movies, never watch them, and it's not weak. I hate watching those crass American kid flicks too, but that doesn't make me a scaredy cat.. I just don't see the point, oh except Tremors. That was quite entertaining.

Just be honest. Scary movies are designed to scare you, that's why you get scared, so hey it worked, but you don't like being scared by films. Nothing wrong with that, like me you probably don't like being manipulated by cheap audio visual tricks.

I bet you something else. I bet you're not a scaredy cat in real life.
