Like life.

That was the same reasoning for the creature in It Follows. It's the reason why the curse was passed through sexual intercourse; it's one of the earliest acts of adulthood when death is more prevalent than childhood.

Interesting! When you say death is more prevalent than in childhood, you mean adults are more likely to die than children? Or just that adults are closer to dying of old age than children?

I'm not sure I'm following you as to how sex makes death more prevalent. You know, anymore than puberty does. Thanks!

Speaking of which, why do horror movies always show people getting killed during or after having sex? Is it because people let their guard down and become more vulnerable in that situation? I personally don't think the movie makers are trying to imply that sex is evil it's more like they are trying to scare the audience. Like the scene in Psycho when the woman was being stabbed to death while taking a shower. It's a scary idea to be attacked when you are naked and vulnerable.

Sorry should have worded it more clearly. ::big grin::

I meant because adults are more likely to do from old age. Each year that passes always brings you closer to death because sooner or later we will all die from some cause.

Most people say they want to die of old age. I'm not sure I actually want that for myself because I've seen the way all my grandparents have been suffering in their old age. It's a very slow, painful, and degrading process. I think I would prefer somebody killing me quick and painless over rotting away in a nursing home.

Is Dawn Of The Dead on blu ray by any any chance.

Anytime I look on Amazon, I can't seem to find it.

That would be weird if it wasnt. Here's one, its used for $80. new $160, and from 80-124 for various qualities of used. Don't look at the $21 one, it will not play in North American blue ray players.

Guess there hasnt been a US/Western blue ray release in a long time

I bet you can find plenty of copies of the 2004 remake though. ::big grin::

God I hate remakes of great movies...
