MemberOvomorphApr-06-2012 7:26 AMHey Fellow Prometheans!
I think this community is very unique. In light of that, I've got 4 unrelated questions I'd like to ask each of you to see if we have some "other" aspects in common. (I tried doing this previously by asking members to PM me but I didn't get enough responses). So if I try it this here, we'll have to be on the honor system.
That means you'll need to reply with your responses WITHOUT reading anyone else's, OK? That way, individual answers won't be swayed by reading previous ones.
Please read and immediately respond to the following 4 questions. AFTER responding, then go back and read what others have left and let's see if we have any corellations. I'll tally things up in a few days and post anything interesting I find.
(My apologies to those of you who already PM'd me. If you wouldn't mind posting here, I'd love to hear from you... again!)
Please answer these questions seriously.
1. What's your favorite color?
2. Are you right or left handed?
3. Do you have a recurring dream, perhaps from childhood, that is your favorite?
4. Has a movie ever given you a migraine? (Not from technical aspects like camera movements/editing, but because you thought it was the movie/message itself?
Thanks! Remember to respond before reading anyone else's answers!

My wife still had dreams similar to your house ones. Sometimes they're pleasant and sometimes she's being chased... So she heads for a room she knows will be comforting and the pursuer vanishes... Lucid dreaming.... Very cool.
FREEZE!
Co-AdminMemberOvomorphApr-06-2012 4:14 PM1. Prussian Blue (i'm a painter, so i like to use it a lot. Mix it with white it turns baby blue, use it as is it's a dark blue like the ocean at night.
2. Right
3. Yes, I tend to end up in this huge construct with air trains and esculators everywhere. It tends to always be something of a huge biodome
4. Pi gave me a migraine once, it has a lot of loud screatch sounds in the soundtrack. Love the movie though, Pi is one of my favorites....

AdminPraetorianApr-06-2012 4:16 PMLOL I just got your message. You wanted me to re-send my answers. I'll post them here:
1-Red.
2-Right.
3-Never had a recurring dream when I was little but i do have 2 now that I am older. I dream these each 2-4 times a year. One is that I have started smoking again (I quit years ago) 2- Is that I flunk out of high school (I am a College graduate)
4- Baraka. It doesn't give me a headache per se, but it makes me a bit lightheaded, something about the way it was filmed perhaps.
*note: OMFG a LOT of people list Blue as fave color! Also I thought Black and White didn't count as they are not colors. :P

3. I'm paralized and crustacean creatures of some kind are crawling up my lower extremities. (It explains my aversion to eating shellfish)

wow, I am flabbergasted by that choice, very unique and provocative ALIEN.
these 2 movies gave you a headache...?... LMFAO...Hysterical.
IMO... 2 of what have to be the greatest science fiction movies of all time!!!
I respect your individuality and guts but feel like my head is shaking in the middle of a really good mystery.

2. Right handed
3. Recurring dream... A recurring aspect or feeling in my dreams is that something is trying to come after me, and im trying to get away but it keeps on catching up. Just rarely happens, but its recurring.
4. I think i get migrane from movies in which humans torture other humans, like Saw or Hostel, where sickos get pleasure of torturing, hate those movies lol.

2. Right handed
3. Yes I'm a Jedi (or sometimes a Sith) in a massive battle somewhere in the Star Wars galaxy
4. Not a migraine, but I had a headache after seeing The Matrix. Didn't stop me seeing it again.... And again after that...... :-D
@belladonna, has a movie ever made you think so much it's given you a headache from trying too understand it.... I think is what the last one is all about...... am I wrong db? :-P

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:58 AM1. Purple
2. Right-handed
3. End sequence of a movie called "Brainstorm" from being younger, where Christopher Walken says something to the effect of "look to the stars". Always dreamed of that over the years.
4. "ð" from Darren Aronoksky.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 2:04 AMthanks cypher, yes im confused about the REASON a movie would give me a headache.
from it being too complicated, from it being boring, from it being stupid, from it being to good, so on?
he said not editing and such... cus the original tron movie makes me voilently sick, ill hurl if i try to watch that freaking movie because of the colors so i assume that counts as editing? that movie makes me feel pressure behind my eyeballs in the sockets *felt like they would pop right out* and sharp pains on my temples so i havent watched more then like 3 minutes past when they are inside the computer.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 12:41 PM@belladonna:
Sorry, I was forced away from the site.
Yes, question 4 was basically already explained... But it goes deeper than getting a migraine from just thinking too hard about a movie. I guess what I was really asking, without trying to sway anyone's response or sound too weird was:
4. Have you ever felt like a movie you weren't expecting to be anything special, literally got into your mind on a level you may not have even realized, and physically manifested itself outwardly (in this example; a migraine).
You see, I rarely if ever get them (migraines). Maybe 5 times in my whole life. The minute Jodie Foster turned up the "signal" from space in the film "Contact", I developed the worst migraine of my life. I had to excuse myself from the group of friends I was with and make myself sick in the restroom (a trick that always worked with lesser headaches), but I couldn't shake it. That migraine stayed with me for days.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:10 PMim sorry, but that doesnt answer my question for #4 at all :/
i actually do have chronic migraines as a condition (at least once a month) i still dont know what you are asking about the perception of a movie.
i dont understand if you are asking if a movie plot-wise gave me a migraine in a good or bad way, or if something subleminal in a movie caused me to have a migrane or other neural reaction.
so did i think a movie was too good, too bad, too complicated, too stupid, too high budget, too low budget....
i dont get what the migraine question is about.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:36 PMOuch! Once a month? You must be very strong willed to overcome them so often. 5 was plenty in a lifetime for me. Sorry to hear about those! Ya' know what, you've shown me #4 is just too vague / hard to understand... No worries. Skip it.
PS. Isn't it interesting how many of us tend toward the cooler end of the color spectrum?
db
MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:42 PM15 out of 27 posts (so far) chose a shade of blue or aqua for their favorite color.
Maybe that's why Cameron and Scott are using blue-ish alien creatures?

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:49 PMI should correct my recurring dream statement...I think I did have one when I was a kid where I'd feel this strange sensation like this fundamental connection with the air flowing around me and I could manifest that sensation as a way to lift off the ground, levitate and control flight.....the weirdest part wasn't the flying, but that sensation; it was so real to me that I can even remember now what it felt like and sometimes feel it, but of course, it isn't real..I can't fly...but it still amazes me how visceral that memory is...
WhyDontTheyFreezeHim
MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 2:02 PM@ craigamore - The "feeling" was the biggest part of my flying dreams too. Felt so real that I had to think twice I had actually flown in real life LOL
Of course now as an adult I know I didnt!
And about the blue or aqua colour that most people are choosing, I think most of them are right handed too...whats that about, db?
I was thinking that the reason many are choosing blue is because of the layout of this site. Could be some subliminal....thing.
When will you explain it?
db
MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 9:15 PM@craigamore & whydonttheyfreezehim:
Yes, I could feel the wind blow through the hair on my arms held out straight to my sides and it would whip my hair around. Where does a seven yr. old kid get that sensation from in order to manifest it in a dream?
Are you guys ready to fly for real?
Some think the thing I'm about to share with you is a hoax. Jamie (from Mythbusters) and I believe it's true. Let me know what you guys think.
Check out: YouTube: human bird wings video #14.
Even if this one's a hoax, the science behind it seems solid and it could work.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 10:56 PM@db i really like you used the example from Contact. It didnt give me a migrane but its my number one next to Alien. I would describe it as a kind of out of body experience. I remember, when watching Contact, i didnt really have expectations, thts also whyh it blew me away.
