First of all, what kind of an idiot admits to doubting his Captain that quickly! Especially when your Captain is Hook! You have to lie if you doubt your captain. Honesty means nothing to the steel handed stingray. Also, why bother showing your face on that ship in the first place? You know he’s going to find out by asking you a simple question. People who get the Boo Box sentence make me sad…
So here are some tips on how to survive The Boo Box.
Don’t doubt your Captain!
Once in the boo box, calm down and locate the scorpions. Try not to make too many sudden movements. However, it’s important to keep yelling slightly so they don’t think you’ve read this post and have a foolproof survival method.
Once you’ve located the scorpions KILL THEM! They are just scorpions! Work quickly because you only have a limited amount of time before people get suspicious.
Once they are dead, kick the screaming into high gear. You should be in pain. Really sell it.
Make sure to pinch yourself really hard so there are bite marks.
Once they open the box you’re on your own. These tips only help you escape death by scorpions. Which is why #7 is the most important tip…
Don’t doubt your Captain!
This poor pirate didn’t have a chance but he didn’t even put up a fight. He just broke down and cried. It’s unfortunate… I’m still terrified of the boo box.
… Do you think The Boo Box is meant to kill someone or simply punish them?
Rainy Sundays was one of the first features I created for this blog.
It was about appreciated those lazy days when you put on your favorite movies and escape.
Who doesn’t love a good Sunday afternoon indoors watching movies?
Personally, my ideal Rainy Sunday includes a good drama, a comforter, a massive sandwich or pizza and some form of candy. It’s even better when there’s enough time to sneak in a double feature.
What movies do you love to watch on rainy days?
After more than 30 picks, I’ve decided to move on so this will be the FINAL Rainy Sunday post.
Below you’ll find the complete Rainy Sunday Series.
Perhaps, I’ll resurrect the feature someday but I think I’ve made my point. There’s nothing like a good movie on a lazy day.
I was at a wedding a few weeks ago and a friend of mine was talking about his love of the movie Goonies. More specifically, how watching the movie makes him crave Pizza.
He turned to me and said that I should write a post called: Movies that make me want to eat pizza.
It was a great idea but I decided to expand it slightly as the post title suggests.
Here are 10 movies that make me hungry:
Ratatouille
Pasta
Food lovers must adore this movie! This one is a no brainer.
Home Alone 2: Lost In New York
Pizza
When the hotel clerk opens up that steaming hot cheese pizza, I pick up my phone and call Dominos.
Happy Gilmore
Subway Sandwiches
Who doesn’t love fresh, delicious, tasty, meaty, turkey-filled Cold Cut Combos?
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
Burgers
Another shocker. The ultimate craving movie! I’ve never had a White Castle burger though. It’s on my list.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Candy
I love candy. That is all…
Twister
Steak & Eggs
This is a strange one but those that know this movie well will know the scene I’m referring too. Aunt Meg comes through in the clutch!
Waiting
Steak
This one may surprise considering what they do to steaks in this movie. That doesn’t stop steak from being awesome though…
Hook
Pie/Chicken
“Everybody say grace… Grace!!!”
Those pies just look like pure icing! Also the chicken looks outstanding.
The Godfather
Italian Food
Hands down my favorite food group. There is no shortage of tomato sauce in this movie. I make good tomato sauce as well.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1,2 & 3)
Pizza
Anyone who has visited this site knows my love of Ninja Turtles. Therefore it should surprise no one that they made this list.
“Wise men say, forgiveness is divine but never pay full price for late pizza.”
When I was growing up, Disney’s spectacular Peter Pan was IT.
“You can fly, you can fly, you can fly, you can fly…”
If you matched those lyrics with the tune you understand exactly how much I loved that movie.
Along came a VHS copy of Hook for Christmas. Knowing the legendary story of Peter Pan as I did, I was beyond excited to see what Captain Hook and Peter Pan were up to in REAL life.
So many movies come out today that claim to be re-imaginings. Most of the time, I always question why they make certain decisions with the material. It’s frustrating when someone takes a story you love and changes things. This is one example of filmmakers taking giant leaps with the story and getting it right.
“Peter, don’t you know who you are?”
Returning To Neverland
Steven Spielberg’s film is unique because it retells the origin story in a fascinating way. Peter has forgotten who he once was and how to fly and must face his old nemesis Captain Hook in order to save his children. How can you not be fascinated to see how it all plays out? Being reintroduced to Neverland was an experience then and it still is today.
There are moments when you stare at a collection of DVD’s and simply can’t decide what to watch. It has to be the perfect fit for your mood. I firmly believe that choosing Hook once in a while is NEVER a bad idea and always fits your mood. It’s a movie to get excited about and that’s why I love movies.
The Boo Box!
Hook was funny, original, touching and an all around entertaining movie. However, I wasn’t expecting it to scare the crap out of me.
I’ve included a clip…
It’s the amazing scene where Hook is revealed and we finally get a look at him. It’s a great introduction to (in my opinion) one of the greatest villains of all time.
Once you get to the 3 minute mark of the clip, imagine a boy who is totally engaged in the film and completely wrapped up in the story. I pretty much believed that Neverland existed at this point.
Having said that, the very concept of The Boo Box was terrifying! Check out the scene. Those scorpions have haunted me ever since. I remember distinctly thinking how sad it was that everyone was cheering while this poor dude is being dragged to the box. The magic of film.

Amazing Adventures
I have a section of my DVD collection that includes classics like Goonies, Labyrinth, The Wizard Of Oz, The NeverEnding Story, Willow, Dark Crystal and more. (I’d like to take this opportunity to praise The Water Horse as well for nailing it. I liked that movie a lot.) Hook is with them in spirit because I still haven’t upgraded my VHS copy yet. Be honest, who in their right mind would mix VHS and DVD’s on the same shelf!
The inspiration for this week’s post came while thinking about the new Alice In Wonderland’senormous potential. The concepts are very similar as both Alice and Peter Pan’s adventures continued years after they left their fantasy world’s behind. I’m really excited to return to Wonderland much like I was when I returned to Neverland years ago. It’s the same with all films that belong on shelves like mine.
The rabbit holes, glass slippers and giant dragon-dogs remain with all of us because they got a firm grip on our imaginations and haven’t let go. The memories of these films are treasured by millions.Today, I think it’s time to revisit one of the classics. You remember where it is right?
Second star to the right and straight on till morning.
I love adventure films. Hook is a spectacular addition to the Rainy Sundays list.
PS: Anyone think happy thoughts while reading this? Did you fly? Neither did I. IT NEVER WORKS!
PS #2: I’m never going to stop trying. I’ll keep you posted on any and all progress I make.
PS #3: In regards to the new Rainy Sundays logo… I love it. Normally, I tell people that my photoshop skills can be described as ‘Not Sucking”. I’ve now upgraded myself to ‘Decent’ (I’ll have more on this subject in a later post.)
