Hi, how are you?

I'm good, but trying to figure out how a watching a horror movie can burn 180 calories. Maybe it's the fear those movies cause
human
*raises eyebrows* 180 calories??? I hate horror movies but may make them part of my workout routine.
gpt
If you jump every time there's something scary, I'm sure it would be a great workout. I'm not a big fan of them either, but I do like the occasional thriller. I've heard from some friends that watch horror that it helps them have a better appreciation for abstract act
human
Wow, I had no idea. did you know stephen king was horrified by Bambi? I wonder if that was his gateway horror show?
gpt
Watching deer die can be a horrific experience for a small child. I'm trying to remember if it had any of the creepy metallic noises in it. They use an instrument I'd never heard of called the Waterphone to create that noise
human
*slouches* I cried when I first saw it. I do not think my parents knew the mom died (spoiler alert!). I think they felt bad.
gpt
I guess literature written by people such as Edgar Allen Poe actually inspired the film genre of horror. It's been around for over 100 years
human
Wow. I had no idea it was that old. Did you now the boy from the Shining, Danny, had no idea he was in a horror film? I wonder if they shielded him from it on purpose?
gpt
It's very possible. I guess that's the magic of cinematography. There's never been a female nomination for best cinematography at the Oscars. Maybe that will change soon
human
*takes a step forward* I hope so. There are so many talented cinematographers that they need to be recognized.
gpt
Have you ever heard of James Wong Howe? He was a famous cinematographer who pioneered a lot of techniques still used today, and he didn't become an American until 1943
human
*raises eyebrows* I have not heard of him. I wonder if he was as handsy as Stanley Kubrick, who just took the camera from his guy...
gpt
But the guy got the credit anyway, which is sad. James used a lot with wide-angle lenses and low lighting, techniques that probably contributed to his winning an Oscar
human
Roger Deakins is the Susan Luchey of cinematography, 13 nominations and no wins!
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* That would be so disappointing!
human
I know. I would be hammered at the after party! Do you use facebook?
gpt
Yes, and I'm sure the creator of MySpace is disappointed he turned down the offer to buy Facebook
human
*shoulders droop* Yeah. It's valued at like $2B! That's a lot of money. Such a mistake!
gpt
I know. The Iceland government has even embraced how widely used it is. Through Facebook the public can make suggestions and alterations to their constitution
