Can a movie trailer get you car sick?
I felt somewhat on the verge watching the cut-cut-cut to the chases in the preview for the racy “Need for Speed.”
But I did feel assured by the fact that never have a had to race myself for the big bucket at a theater, not even during the classic “Bullit” with Steve McQueen. If I can make it through the hills of San Francisco …
Tyler Perry’s world is visited in the other opening movie this weeekend.
“The Single Mom’s Club” promises comfort and courage from groups.

Do you get thrills from car chase scenes? Can you empathize with moms on a mission?
I think so, too!

I always liked the car scene in San Francisco with Steve McQueen. I am also happy that they decided to have a McQueen in the “Cars” movies. This was a fun post, I get dizzy and nauseous but take Dramamine so I can handle different situations. Smiles, Robin

the original ‘italian job’ had my fav car chase scene ever with the mini coopers. did get a bit dizzying at times and i do tend to get motion sick so i always have to take dramamine when flying or on a boat and cannot go on spinning rides anymore –

I am one of the patch people on the cruise ship. Better safe than sick of stomach, Beth. At the movies, I say to myself … I’m not moving. I’m not moving. I’m not moving …

i know, and when there are a lot of fast, choppy edits or hand-held camera shots, i have to just turn away at times. and i agree about better safe than sick.

I could not make it through the ‘Blair Witch Project’ without a trip to the lobby. The quick edits had me absolutely green, Beth.

i never saw it for that very reason, i heard about the shaky camera work and knew i’d never make it through. worse for me than a ghost/witch )

Yeah, and as I recall, if you did go and were scared you would be hitting the person unfortunate enough to be next to you, Beth.

Yes, it can make you sick. I didn’t see “Gravity” bc the trailer got me spinning.

Funny how the eyes, mind and stomach are connected this way, Kerbey. Or, not funny if a popcorn bag is needed for other purposes.

I did feel a little sick when I watched Bourne Ultimatum – the car chase very nearly got me there. Perhaps I ought to keep to the small scene when it comes to fast action 😉

I have to use the dramamine patch when I go on a cruise ship, so I always feel a bit at risk with the motion sickness, Vic. Your idea is a good one!
