Not A Mallard Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Fear of trying new unappetizing foods, outside of the matrix. Its what Joe Pantoliano had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzZNWqUJuA4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The Matrix is an excellent movie, despite the fact that since it was heavily imitated it now seems pretty cliché in hindsight. On the other hand, the sequels are garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to watch a really good first movie, like it so much that I have an uncontrollable urge to watch the rest, and then be disappointed.

I don't want to watch a really good first movie, like it so much that I have an uncontrollable urge to watch the rest, and then be disappointed. IMO it is entirely possible to treat the Matrix as a standalone movie. Strictly speaking the ending is open-ended, but it is more of a case that the rest of the story really did not matter all that much. Or at least should not have, had they not made the sequels. I have seen the original several times. Saw each of the sequels once, and I do not even remember them. I refuse to let two flops ruin a movie that is good in its own right.

Gabriela Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I got a 51 and only my love of certain ethnic foods—the result of 7 years living overseas—prevented me from maxing out the test and blowing up the webpage. My reasons are neurological: Many food textures make me gag. BTW: Someone needs to send the link to this website to all those religious communities that force people to eat whatever's put in front of them.

Gabriela Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Typically it is taste that gets me, but there are some textures that make me risk vomiting, despite taste. Yeah, I love the taste of tomatoes—if they're completely pureed to an absolutely smooth texture. If they're not, they're coming back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyAnn Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I scored 64. Like curiousing, only my tolerance of some ethnic foods (but even then, super limited) stopped me from maxing out. Trying new foods makes me really really anxious - especially when people put pressure on me to try things. I've improved slightly in the last few years but if I do try something it has to be on my terms and not because someone's making me try it. My 'food rules' are very irrational. Often I won't even eat a different brand of something because I just don't know what it tastes like. My favourite food ever is my mother's macaroni cheese - but I absolutely despise all kinds of cheese. Just the smell of cheese...bleh. I also don't like touching foods I wouldn't eat, I won't eat something if it's touched a food I don't like and I don't even like my food being cooked in a pan that has had food I don't like in it (even if it's been washed). I do wonder why my mother hasn't killed me yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
