The year has really gone by fast! It's already almost Halloween
! And this week on Top Sites Tuesday, Blogdumps is asking us to share a scary story
, scary moment
, or a ghost story
. If you ask me, nothing was scarier than the moment I watched the movie CARRIE
alone as a kid. (Hmmm...I wonder why my parents weren't supervising what I was watching at that time?). I thought the adolescent experiences Carrie
was going through were traumatic enough but when she went to the prom and got her unexpected joy washed away in pig's blood, I knew she was going to lose it.
But I didn't expect her to come home to find no support or sympathy for her pain. Instead she came home to find her own mother had lost her sanity.
I know I jumped out of my seat at the ending scene. It was such a serene scene and so touching to find out how much someone in school actually cared for Carrie.
AAAAHHHH!!! I'm not going to spoil it for you if you have not seen the movie yet. I'm just going to warn you...this was such a scary movie that I have never forgotten it or how I felt when I watched it. That's probably why it's such a classic horror film.

and Jordan Bratman in the picture above. They're both pre-occupied with their texting phones instead of paying attention to each other or with their surroundings. I didn't include them here but a lot of the pictures I've seen of them together do not look like a very happy couple - even when they first got married. Why is it that I hardly ever see Jordan Bratman smile? You'd think that he'd show how happy he was being married to a woman that millions of young men would gladly trade places with him for.

didn't last despite having such beautiful children together. In the picture above, you can see how they're both looking away from each other. It's like there was something more interesting to look at in their opposite directions. 
, may have had a lot of soul-searching in her life (which included a failed first marriage to Sean Penn) before she settled down with 
. It seemed finally that she had the perfect showbiz marriage for awhile. Guy was protective of her (kind of like Sean Penn was) but not so anti-papparazzi (unlike Sean Penn was) enough to punch someone for holding a camera in front of the couple. Yet you could tell in their pictures (like the one above) that something just wasn't going right. When you see even a camera-loving star like Madonna looking like she doesn't want to be out in public and her partner not even loosening up to smile a bit, it kinda makes you wonder just how happy they are together.
is in the news again! The last time 
was going to be launched. That was just early last year. Remember that? Does anyone know if the Tween Dora ever took off? My daughter just stuck to the original Dora books and DVDs so I didn't bother to find out.
got in the news because Caitlyn Sanchez - the human behind young Dora's voice - was suing

for hundreds of millions that she and her family believe Caitlyn were swindled of by being forced to sign her contract in less than a half hour's time without being given an opportunity to consult with an attorney. It was a sign now or lose it moment for the 12 year old.
