I don't understand why people love them or even watch them. To sit down for an hour and a half and scare the life out of yourself. It's just not my idea of entertainment. I can understand an adrenaline junkie looking to be in the moment, face their fears and cheat death. But to watch … Continue reading Horror Films →

"If I were to wish for anything I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of what can be, for the eye, which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible.
