The last third or so of Still Alice (the Julianne Moore movie about Alzheimer's) where she's trying to commit suicide but keeps forgetting what she was doing or how to do it is possibly the scariest non-horror thing I've ever seen.

My best friends mom is going through something that's similar but not Alzheimer's per se and says that movie is completely accurate (it is based on a true story) and more harrowing than any horror film he's seen.

my sole living grandparent is suffering from that stuff and it seemed to start really soon after my grampy died. it sort of makes me wonder if it lies dormant in some people and can possibly be triggered by traumatic events or maybe a loss of comfort, routine, engagement, or something. maybe coincidental

The end of Come and See where the Nazis burn down the village is a loving nightmare of visual and audio stimuli that induced legit physical feelings of panic when I first saw it.

What are your favorite scary moments in media that weren't horror? Movies, tv, books, video games whatever.

I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamt my cousin's niece got possessed but we managed to catch her in a protective ward. My Mom sent me to find John Constantine to help, but not Matt Ryan's Constantine - Alan Moore's Hellblazer.

I've never dreamt in illustration before, this weird mix of DC Vertigo art and Tim Bradstreet's style. It wasn't a nightmare, but it was incredibly unnerving. Somehow when I woke up I had managed to throw my weighted blanket to the floor.

I get why people complain about shows like Supernatural going for too long, but then there's Don't Trust the B in 23 and Krysten Ritter hasn't had a role like that since. I'm all for too much of a thing so there's some gems in the trash, and Supernatural is a good example of that.

my experience with madden is i played a little bit of 2018 while the disc was still installing. it let me play the superbowl game of pats vs falcons, i decided to play as the patriots because matt ryan is a fraud. first snap, im very new to the controls not having played madden ever and throw a pick as tom brady, the game immediately crashed and the install corrupted. i accepted the lesson the game was trying to teach me and never played ever again.

'tom brady does not do that, foh' and 'never buy or play madden' are good lessons. i think you had to play as the steelers during the next madden installation game so i did not do it. or i might be lying

Me and my boys would play Madden '04 on the gamecube after school. We made our fat lovely old music teacher Mr. Greuter, gave him dogshit stats, and had him be the quarterback for the Cowboys. He'd get injured two minutes into the game every time. A couple of years later he was fired for taking creep pics of his students. From the school, not the Cowboys.

Dame Time though their personnel don’t have anyone who can guard Lebron or Davis and with Collins gone, that’s another five fouls lost for the first game.

Blazers are my top pick because I love basketball where every possession is the cliffhanger in a shonen anime but I'm also pulling for the Clippers and Raptors and would not be against the Nuggets or Heat getting a good run.
