6 MOST DISTURBING CASES OF REAL FOUND FOOTAGE
The found footage horror genre is a subgenre of fictional horror films that
presents the story as if it were discovered footage. This got me thinking if
there were any real-life cases of found footage. This video will cover 6 of
the most disturbing real cases I could find.

THE DISTURBING MYSTERY OF THE SUDBRINK PHONE CALLS
In the 1990s, Gary Sudbrink received a series of cryptic phone calls that
have continued to haunt and intrigue those who hear them. The calls were
unnervingly precise and left Gary feeling trapped in a mystery that has yet
to be solved. Was he the target of a psychological experiment, alien
interference, or an elaborate hoax? This video explores the case from all
angles, bringing you one step closer to the truth behind the calls.

What did you watch?

Yesterday, I mostly tried to catch up on soaps while I did other stuff.
I'm not even sure how many episodes of each soap I got through - it was
roughly a week's worth of episodes each - and I'm not going to synopsize
the storylines. But I am not almost caught up with DOOL and Y&R, and I
think I'm still only 2 or 3 episodes behind on GH.

I also saw:

Due Date (on Netflix right now) - 2010 comedy film starring Robert
Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. This is more "mean-spirited" comedy
than I like (that seems to be Galifianakis' comedy "brand"), but I liked
it anyway because Robert Downey Jr. is enjoyably out of his "comfort
zone" in this film.
Sidenote: I was surprised to discover that Galifianakis had never
actually guest-starred on "Two and a Half Men"...

I recognize the name, but I don't recall the plot. Did this have
something to do with a pregnancy, or am I just thinking of Knocked up?

I'm still powering through movies in my collection. Now I'm going to
dive into animation for the next few weeks. I'll be watching some old
favorites I've watched before but a lot of movies still in the shrink
wrap. I'm going to try (more or less) to watch them in release order by
decade.

First up, I watched a few Charlie Brown movies. These have been in the
shrink wrap for years. I only wanted "Race for your life Charlie Brown"
but it only came as part of a set so I waited until I had time to watch
them all. They were all better than I was expecting and loaded with
unexpected nostalgia from when I watched them when I was little. I
especially liked, "No Dogs Allowed"

And I still love "Race for your life Charlie Brown." It's my favorite,
but the others held my interest well enough too.


Fantastic Planet (blu-ray) 1973 French animated sci-fi movie. The movie
is set on an alien planet where humans are kept as pets by giant aliens.
The aliens think of humans as nothing more than simple pets but soon
discover humans aren't as dumb as they think. It holds up well enough,
I think I probably appreciate this movie more now than I did when I was
younger. I never noticed before now, but I think "Battlefield Earth"
ripped off this movie's plot. They just changed the setting to Earth.


Wizards (blu-ray) 1977 Ralph Bakshi classic, set millions of years after
an apocalypse has wiped out human civilization and replaced it with
mutants and wizards. An evil mutant wages a war against non mutants
while his good wizard twin brother leads a group against him. This is a
movie that the first time I saw it, I didn't really care much for, but
I've watched it again and again over the years, and I keep liking it
more and more. The first time I saw it, I hated the ending, but now I
anticipate that climatic moment when things are settled. I should also
mention the picture quality on the blu-ray looked excellent.

It does, but incidentally - Downey's character is trying to get back
across the U.S. for his wife's giving birth, and his only transpo is
Galifianakis' idiot character.

Hang on to your hat, but neither have I!
