You know the movie The Blair Witch Project? So, I went to the movie theaters to see that movie with my friends, and, um, when it first came out, whenever — whatever year that was. And I did not read up about the movie at all, I was just told there’s this movie that’s a horror movie, it’s supposed to be really scary. And my friend who I went with was a guy who was known for kind of being a joker. He liked to make s*** up and watch people — watch the chaos happen, and then he would fess up later, or you would figure it out and then he would just kind of sit there and laugh like, maniacally.
Well, he told me that this was a real movie, that was real like a documentary. This was found footage, and it was real. And he told me that, and — and, so I went into the movie believing everything that I was seeing was, was real. And by the time I got out of that movie, I was so — not only sick to my stomach because of the camera, um, the way the camera was, like how it was not shot on a regular, like a regular movie. It was, you know, hand-held like camcorder style which is — gives me motion sickness already. But I felt sick to my stomach thinking about the people who had been killed in the woods and like how they showed the guy’s like red flannel shirt. For some reason that part really upset me, when they showed like a chunk of his shirt with like some flesh in it or something, I think, I don’t know. I haven’t watched it since then. So, there was something about a red flannel shirt, and it had like a chunk of his arm in it or something. And it was so upsetting to me thinking that that was that guy’s arm in his flannel shirt, and like it was real. And I was just thinking like “Why, why isn’t anyone, like, researching this? Why isn’t anyone — why didn’t anybody get like in- go to jail for this?”
And I came out of that theater and I crumpled onto the sidewalk outside of the movie theater into a ball, and I was just like, “Oh, I feel so sick. I hated — that was so up — disturbing!” And everyone was like, “I thought it was great. It was a great movie. It was, it was upsetting, but it was great,” and I’m like, “Uhh.” And then I don’t remember if they told me right then and there or if I later found out about it like the next day, but I found out that it was not real and I was like, I was like so relieved to hear that it was not real.
