Buzz In: What Movies Were Too Scary for You as a Kid (But You Watched Anyway)?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:30:57 PDT

The Dark Knight is rated PG-13 and a lot of friends and relatives with kids have asked me if it's too scary for the little ones. Though it's a superhero story about Batman - and lots of kids love Batman - I think I would've been frightened by it if I were a kid!

It makes me remember when my parents would warn me that a movie was too scary, or would deny me access to one, even when I felt confident I could handle it. I was just a little kid at the time but I remember peeking through my bedroom door, furious that my parents were watching Gremlins while I was supposed to be sleeping, only to have seven nights of nightmares in a row as a result. I also sneaked a look at The Lost Boys at one point - during the scene when the noodles turn into worms, I recall - which sent me scrambling for safety under my covers.

What movies did you see that were probably too scary for you at the time?

Flashback: Hogan Knows Best

Before getting his own reality show, The Hulk made some pretty shameless guest appearances. Does Gremlins 2 ring a bell for anyone? In this scene, the Hulkster is called on to whoop some annoying Gremster ass. He doesn't end up fighting anything (maybe cuz he's a fake wrestler in real life?), but he does scream and break things and make mean with his tank top. You know, the usual overdone fun. Enjoy!

5 Easy Steps to Life Without Paper

LearnVest — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:15:26 PDT

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy!

Paper, paper everywhere, and not a spot to think.

At least, that’s how it feels when the tyranny of paperwork invades your desk, your home (and your mind): bills, receipts, notes, memos, brochures, statements, claim forms, post-its with mysterious scribbled numbers, all seeming to breed and multiply before your very eyes like parchment Gremlins. And just when you clear through a pile, another seems to march in the door.

Managing our leafy mountains is not only time-intensive, but - let’s face it - not fun. Which is why more often than not, when faced with a disheartening leafy mountain, we turn toward more fulfilling activities - like procrastinating, or watching New Girl.

No more. Paper, you have met your match.

And that match is LearnVest’s guerilla guide to Going Paper-Free - ranging from free apps to pricier (but well worth it) scanner products. Everything here will help you get enviably organized, and all your paper masterfully under your control. Getting into a new de-papering system may take a period of adjustment, but once you’re there, trust us: You’ll never look back.

Say hello to well-saved time, money, sanity, trees - and goodbye to paper cuts.

1. Stop the Catalogs

The first step is to stem the tide of paper that flows into your life via your mailbox. These days, everything from filling out a warranty card to purchasing a product puts your name and address on a catalog mailing list; your information is then sold to countless other organizations. Ebb your mail flow by heading to either DMAChoice.org or CatalogChoice.org, both of which allow you to either opt out of all catalogs, or select certain ones to stop.
