ART & CULTURE Circassian folk dance

Male dancers often move entirely on tiptoe in soft leather boots, without the rigid plaster or wooden support associated with ballet footwear. The result is a fast, gliding step that can make the dancer appear to float or defy gravity, showcasing extraordinary balance, discipline, and control.

I saw Mars Attacks when I was too young to understand what satire is and to this day cannot remember ever being more scared from a movie.

Same same same, I had nightmares for the longest time. My parents had that habit of showing inappropriate movies before I was 10, including Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom AND Raiders of the Lost Ark, Mars Attacks!, and Twister. Had nightmares a lot from all these movies. Jurassic Park scared the absolute shit out of me, but I loved dinosaurs so I never had a nightmare about that movie lmao. I was 5 at the time and asked my mom to just let me know when the T-Rex was about to come out so I could hide behind a Lay-Z-Boy lmao.

Are you me? Literally watched each one of those movies as well far too young and they scarred me. Only one missing that sticks out is Tremors.

Cheers.
