View Full Version : What If You Had Rosemary's Baby?
Anyone see Rosemary's Baby? It was made in 1968 and is still terrifying today.
"Rosemary (Mia Farrow) is a young, trusting housewife in New York whose actor husband (John Cassavetes), unbeknownst to her, has literally made a deal with the devil. In the thrall of a witches' coven headquartered in their apartment building, the young husband arranges to have his wife impregnated by Satan in exchange for success in a Broadway play. To Rosemary, the pregnancy seems like a normal and happy one--that is, until she grows increasingly suspicious of her neighbors' evil influence. By the time Rosemary discovers that her infant son "has his father's eyes" ... well, let's just say the urge to scream along with her is unbearably intense! One of the few modern horror films that can claim to be genuinely terrifying."
Let's change the story a tad to suit both genders. What if you found out that you were carrying Satan's child... or that your wife was? Someone has made a deal with the devil and you two are collateral. What would you do?

I'd put him on the internet for money or adoption. :eek:
Yes, this film is the best horror I have ever seen. It was made by Roman Polański. I have met him in Cracow couple years ago... The point is that he did that film for fun. What would I do if I found satan's eyes on my child? I would think this is just Rosemary's Baby II. Another film scenario made for fun. Nothing real. It can't be real. Can't be...
P.S. Have you ever thought about music in Rosemary's Baby? That music was made by Krzysztof Komeda. For me this is the strangest soundtrack I have ever heard. It sounds like lullaby. Like satan's lullaby...
I'd turn religious real fast. This movie scared the crap out of me!
Maro, you met Polanski? Incredible! Do they treat him well? He can't come to the United States. Although I feel sorry for the guy with what happened to his wife, Sharon Tate... I don't want him back here. I'll still watch his movies now and then.
She wasn't 'humping'... It's like Mary. Immaculate conception of sorts.
Roman Polanski was found guilty of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl he was phographing. He fled the country before they could lock his ass up.

The book was way cool, better than the movie. The trippiest part is when she's all halucinating and gets nailed by satan. I wish they'd make trippy movies like that again. Yeah, for demonic sex and freaky naked old people watching and chanting! :D

Oh yes, they treat him very well Jake. He is just a great filmmaker. To be honest with you I don't like his personality but I appreciate his films. I love them.
But guys, anyone heard music from Rosemary's Baby?
What do you think about it?
Isn't it weird?

That's what set the mood. Man, did it ever send chills up my spine. Jenn, did you get it yet? Boo!
I understand about Polanski. I have mixed feelings. I condemn him for what he did and not taking responsibility for his actions... and yet his movies earn him merit by how well they were made.

Now, I'm going to go rent it tonight. I'm in the mood for some freaky films. :eek:
I'm with Jake on this one.
See ya'll at church
To me, all children evoke that sense of terror. I am scared of children and don't ever want any of my own.
If this were to have happened to me? I'd go find Satan and make a deal to have the person who did it to me have twins.
You guys want to check out a documentary that is not really all that on point here but is excellent and very disturbing? It is called "Paradise Lost - the Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills" done by HBO. There are two of them now. "Paradise Lost - Revelations" is the second one. Yes, it deals with the murder of children, possibly by children, but it deals with the trial and investigations. It is a terrifying look into the judicial system, children, and parents who don't give a damn. I have never felt the same way twice after viewing these documentaries. They make you think, they make you angry, they make you frightened. The kids in these documentaries, if they did what they are accused of, are Rosemary's Babies.

I saw that. That was pretty fucking twisted....Now they're saying they didn't do it now that they got older and realized their lives are going to spent in jail or be executed.......Fuck them. If they're that Ignant for saying they did it and they really didn't.....Sorry about their luck. That shit ***** me sick. Anyway, I didn't rent Rosemary's birth yet. I think the whole cool thing of the movie is how everyone was in on it and she didn't even know. It was like the conspiracy was the scary thing, not that she was having the devil's baby. Especially when the Dr. was in on it too. Whack!!!!:wow:
i need a sitter for friday ...
berly?
anyone?
Actually, boogiedude - I'll be tackling something scarier than children on Friday....
I'll be flying in a plane! Sheesh! Kids and planes all in one thread. Not to mention the "scariest thing ever" thread. This board is going to make me look like the giant sissy that I am!
While normally brave, independent and quite mouthy, actually - these two things give me the ever loving heebie jeebies. You'd think I'd be used to it by now, I've probably flown 25 times. I can't wait to get to the counter at Southwest as I grip my Xanax bottle and try to look "normal."
Them: "Did you pack your own bags?"
Me: "uhh.....*slobber*....wha?"
Them: "May I see your identification?"
Me: "Wheeee...... I'll have a Jack Daniels and a Coke pleathhhh"
Them: "Have you had your bags with you at all times?"
Me: "guhhhh.....bags? What bags? Hi mom, what are you doing here?"
Them: "SECURITY"
When I get back, if I have any Xanax left, perhaps I can try baby sitting?

It's a tranquelizer. It's used to calm people down. Sedate them, if you will. Put them in a synthetic "Happy Place".
Diva is right Oz. The Xanax, I believe, is related to valium. All I know is that without it, I'd be like that sorry fellow on the Twilight Zone who saw a thing on the wing of the plane.
Come to think of it, dramamine knocks me out too. I guess I could just take those? Eh, if it aint broke...

Yeah, for Xanadues! Happy places are good places to be.
And I want my Jenn Jenn to be in her happy place!!!!!
Rosemary's baby was put on the internet for adoption by Roman Polanski. Maro meets Polanski years later but didn't like him. Aussie has to tell Diva where babies come from and Jenn get's nostalgic, while Maro play's the sound track in the background. Oz joins the track team only to resign due to pregnancy. Berly reminds us that babies come from satan and won't be baby sitting cause she will be busted at the airport. Jake and I realize Diva's kneepads are worn out so we never make it to church. Berly tells us she is a sissy afterall. Oz still wants to run but is informed about Xanax before Jenn goes to her happy place.
Was this thread better than the movie?

I'd be quite jubilant, if Satan was going to try and take over the world I'd be happy that he chose me and my family to help him because hopefully if he's victorious he'll give us a nice high position. If God won he'd obviously see that we had nothign to do with this and that it was all Satan's fault. its a win win situation
See, I can post
Indeed you can, Anton! Indeed you can. Good answer, man. Scarry, but good!!

Very good question dancingchris. This is always the point, when some piece of art force you to think about it.
So, is Rosemary's Babe "good" art or "bad" art?

Well it seems to me that chris has this whole thing summed up nice and neatly doesnt it. One quick question though Chris If OZ is pregnant did you remember to choose a father? Actually better make that two quick questions because I want to know if Im about to have a little brother to Rosemarys baby?
Hahahahhahahahaha!!!
I've got to get to sleep more! I completely missed Chris' "Masterpiece", Maro's debate and looked just in time to join in on oz's question! Either that or I need less sleep!
Chris: *slap upside the head* Where can I rent it? Is it your next Flash saga on your site? As NCT Turns? Very clever, little man. Clever indeed!
Maro: I think that it is'good' art in that it was very well made, and the suspense lasted until the end.
Oz: I want to know who the daddy is! Inquiring minds want to know. Now Chris is my first choice, seeing that he knew of your pregnancy first. And since he's prone to boys in his family [his pictures on his site show a lot of em!], start buying Blue!

I like the blonde myself. Chris mentioned his new hair cut so I checked it out. Ummmm, you won't have to worry about 'colorful' hair anymore.

This was one of the first true cult films I'd ever seen. (Thanks Mom!)
I'd take care of the baby. I am his mother after all.
