Showdog Moms & Dads on BRAVO

Has anyone seen this trainwreck of a reality show? I like dogs but these people are nuts! My favorite reality show line ever: "He bite me in my vagina!"

I don't watch Bravo because it has commercials. But is this worth seeing? I love the Animal Planet stuff, when I can slog through the ads.

If you liked the movie "Best In Show" you might like "Showdog Moms & Dads". Bravo has some pretty cool stuff, you should check it out, just mute the commercials.

I watched that special they had a while back "The 100 Scariest Movie Moments" and while I usually hate those lists, they picked some good ones; I was quite surprised. Their top ten blew burrito chunks, but otherwise it was good.

It's true, their top ten was awful. Jaws, The Exorcist, Elm Street, Halloween, etc. Talk about unoriginal and predictable. One of the movies we rented last weekend, Audition, was on the same list (I didn't want to get it, but he did, that asshole) as having one of the scariest scenes and I literally had to dig deep down inside myself to find the strength to finish it. Watching that movie was one harrowing experience, lemme tell ya. Never in my life has a movie had me in such an altered state.

I think Jaws, The Exorcist, Elm Street, Halloween, etc. were all scary, esp. the first two. You are so anti-est. sometime

Compared to other horror movies? HELL NO. My top ten would have definitely included these:

Black Christmas
Suspiria
The Wicker Man
Audition (just saw it and it was truly terrifying)
Session 9
Haute Tension
Poltergeist

Blah Blah Blah - let me tell you - you whipersnapper

- when Jaws came out, it terrified people so much that people stopped going to the beach. When the Exorcist came out, it terrified people so much that it almost caused a mass hysteria. I was there. I saw it. None of the movies you mentioned had that effect. Not that they were not scary, bad flims, or anything like that. They just did not move people the way Jaws and The Ex. did and still do for that matter.

Ah, yes, Picky Picky (my name for you

meant with love, like a bad cat that I still like) - but you may not be wrong.
I submit - what would you have put on your list? Elm Street was Scary to me, not so much the others. But I am not a horror film officianado, in fact I don't like them much. I honestly can't imagine being scared by Jaws, much. but then I saw it when I was much older. Candyman scared me a bit. Elm Street was good, because it struck in your dreams! While you sleep! Yipes! Suspiria? I thought it was more beautifully set designed, and scored, than scary....

etc.
Edit - Oops, just saw your list. I haven't seen most of them. Almost got Wicker Man, recently...
honestly, I am scared more by the real life detective shows that are on now...and cold case, and city confidential. Real life serial murderers, etc, scare the living **** out of me. I have dreams, where I hear someone coming up my stairs...*shudder*...Silence of the Lambs should be on that list.

As should...uh...that murder mystery with Ellen Barkin and Al Pacino....and...any more "Real Life" stuff that comes around. That scares the pants offa me, not some otherworldly, stock, bloody, unbelievable horror villain.

Smallest violin...

If we're to look at it from your point of view, the fact that Jaws was number one over Psycho is simply insulting. Unfortunately, films like Jaws and The Exorcist have lost a lot of their edge. They were scary back in the day (I still find The Exorcist horrifying, though), but not so much in this day and age.
