I listen to Deftones and Rage Against the Machine (they're music bands, in case you don't know).

What are some cathartic stuff you do?

Scratch? Bite lips? Pick off skin on fingers until get to pink layer (I do that, unconsciously)? Pinch yourself? Bang your head? etc.

It might mostly be unconscious, and you're not aware you're doing it unless someone else tells you.

The reason I'm asking is, I'm doing a research project (part of 3rd year course) on people who self-harm/self-injury (among substance abusers). I'll be meeting these people/patients in the clinics and those places, and doing questionnaires/interviews and stuff. Very exciting, can't wait. In a book, I've read that cutting themselves is their way of relief. Obviously, to go to such a body-harming stage, it's not just the stress of your typical 9-to-5 job though. But still, similar parellels.

Fact about self-harm (cutting/burning/scratching):

It's not suicidal. Majority of people do them specifically NOT to commit suicide. But some people who have attempted suicide also self-harm. But the definition of self-injury is its non-suicidal.

P.S. Has anyone seen "Jacob's Ladder"? Just watched it (heard it was inspiration of Silent Hill games). It's a psychological thriller.

If you liked:

Memento

The Machinist

The Jacket

Identity

Butterfly Effect,

Then you'll love Jacob's Ladder. I sounded like a commercial there.

P.P.S. Just thought of a few topics for next MoeFo Cast. Yay!

For all the Muslims out there (ffgothic), Eid Mubarak! After a month of fasting and self-control, it's awesome to celebrate and learn from the Ramadhan month. I had some Choc Curl doughnuts!

PWNED like these dudes:

Well, whaddya expect? $700 BILLION not going to us, but to the banks again?

This game is making my GOTY list. Easily.

I just wish Epic taught other developers how to use their UE III engine, because nearly every game that used it has the exact same problems (texture pop-in, popping of other sorts). ONLY EPIC knows how to make their ugly engine look good. That's the ONLY problem I have with the game.

Or maybe UE III isn't designed to handle colours, and therefore no wonder Gears 2 looks so great.

Maybe Denis Dyack was right on this one???

Dead Man's Shoes
Wow. What a unique movie. Dead Man's Shoes. Wow. What a unique movie. In terms of revenge movies, I can see this being one of the best. It's certainly the most realistic, most powerful, and shocking. After 30 minutes of this, I was thinking,...

This is exactly the kind of movie I've been waiting for so long. Drop dead cinematography, slow-motion galore. Sweeping camera panning, low shots, epicness. This is the most beautiful epic movie to watch. The CGI crew have done extremely well on...

United 93
Unmissable. The 2nd best movie of the year, behind Prestige. So much tension, jaw-dropping cinematography (how did they do all that on a plane?!), very heartwrenching and better yet on how realistic everything is set out to be. Greengrass has...

Rushmore
A truly amazing movie, Wes Anderson's best work. Clearly unmissable and a cult classic to be. My second favourite indie comedy film next to American Splendor. Every scene is brilliant and there are some genuine funny moments with Max Fischer. He's...

Bottle Rocket
Unmissable. Wholeheartedly recommendable as a great afternoon movie. The ending robbery scene is one of the funniest pieces of comedic genius I've seen in a while.

To be one of the first movies from Wes Anderson, it's a very offbeat...
