That gave me goosebumps all the way up my back... and I like spiders, too! But man, just seeing that big crawling mass of black brings out some kind of instinctual recoil in me.

Not fussed about whether or not that was "real" / one take with audio direct from video recording, because musically it was *awesome*.

Whole thing was great, but I got the "whoa, this is f*&king awesome" goosebumps when he broke into the Smooth Criminal part!

Yeah, you could say he's been keeping busy.

I'm actually kinda surprised this didn't happen sooner, I thought the Goosebumps craze was over ages ago.

I totally have that!
I love watching shaving and Indian head massage videos. I get goosebumps all over from them.

GOOSEBUMPS. *quality

Beautiful.

Gave me tears and goosebumps.

*length=37:37 Uh, 80's deathcow ... seriously? *quality goosebumps and technical *fail

I don't think it would be that hard for studios to release both an R and PG-13 version of a movie to theaters at the same time. Simply have the R ones start after 9pm, and PG-13 start before. Or on weekends show both in different rooms (since many of the larger theaters have same movie running on multiple screens anyway).

Personally I don't pay attention to the ratings when deciding to see a movie or not, but I can see it being important for parents taking their kids to see something. For example I didn't NOT see Expendables 3 because it was PG-13, I chose not too because it looked exactly like the first 2, and didn't want to waste money on it. Maybe I'll watch it on Netflix eventually.

I also thought the remakes of both Total Recall and Robocop were decent in their own way, both were PG-13 where the originals were R, and I don't think it took away from the movie.

Of course movies like Scarface have to be R, because that's the nature of the story and character. Look for the TV version of Scarface, and the voice-overs they did to achieve it- so funny ("This city's like a chicken, waiting to be plucked").

Poltergeist should not have been PG. Thinking of that scene with the tree during the thunderstorm still gives me goosebumps.

*promote *quality goosebumps! I love these remote "jam" videos and this happens to be one of my "desert island" songs

Fuck yeah I remember watching this game. I had goosebumps all over my arms.

Agreed, totally. In fact most of the music that gets to me is powerful but often slow. I even get goosebumps just thinking about some music.
This doesn't even remotely address the physical sensation of the "frisson". Plus if it's supposed to be fear based, why does it feel so damned good?

I don't buy the bit about the music response trigger. I can't recall any time that I've got the "this music is friggin' awesome" goosebumps when I hear some piece for the first time. Instead, I get them when I'm very intently listening to some favorite song that I've heard many times before, and particularly during my favorite bits of favorite songs. That throws "unexpected shifts" in the music as a cause right out the window -- I anticipate those bits coming and then the enjoyment/realization of that anticipation seems to be the trigger.
