Event Horizon
A very underrated movie, in my opinion. If the reviews made you miss it, give it a chance now and you may be impressed.

The 30 day Horror challenge. Day ten.
Your favorite psychological horror film:
Bad Boy Bubby
This is a seriously fucked up movie. If you haven't seen it, try watching it with headphones on for sound. Reason? They filmed the movie with only the character of Bubby being miked, so everything you hear is essentially as if you were him.
"Bubby has spent his entire life locked in his mother´s disturbingly bleak flat. He is thirty-five years old and has never gone outside, his mother has sex with him and occasionally tortures him and she wears a gas mask when she leaves so Bubby believes the atmosphere outside the flat is poisonous. When his absent alcoholic father returns Bubby struggles to cope and his mother´s lies begin to fall apart. Eventually Bubby has to leave the flat and make his way in the strange world outside but his limited intellect and complete lack of social skills make things hard in this surreal and darkly comic film. There are some very extreme scenes in this and much unpleasantness but there is also optimism and hope. This is original and provocative film making and it is easy to see why it has become a cult classic."

Ballparks I've seen.
I was thinking about what I'd do if I won a ton of cash, and one thing would be to try and hit every MLB stadium for at least one game.
I've been to 3 stadiums, but only one of them is still in use.
The first was the Kingdome in Seattle. Went there twice. Saw Griffey hit a shot off Eckersley the 1st time, and got Cal Ripken Jr to sign a ball the 2nd time. Sadly I have to admit to not having made the trip to Safeco, despite it only being 300 miles.
My second stadium was the Astrodome in Houston. The only thing I remember about the game was getting the chance to catch a frisbee, and then try to throw it back at the mascot so he could catch it or something. Naturally instead of doing that, I tried to take his head off with it. I got booed.
And number three was the Skydome in Toronto. I got a picture with BJ Birdy, the Jays mascot. Don't remember anything else.
Somewhere I have the ticket stubs, I'll have to dig them out and check the games on baseball reference.
I did also see an exhibition game at BC Place Stadium here in Vancouver, between the Jays and the Brewers. That was back when there was a lot of talk about Vancouver getting a team.
