in thinking that "The Omen" has messages for all of us?

[BarmyArmy]

Watching it now - interested to see where this goes...

What messages?
Don't buy a tricycle for your toddler,unless you live in a bungalow?

oh behave.when i see 666 in wean scalp i worry

Don't employ strange women who suddenly appear on your doorstep as nannies?

Don't choose a maternity hospital in Rome?

if wean cries near Guildford cathedral be aware.if it has apoplectic fit be worried,if nanny hangs self shouting its all for you damien....you're life is a schlocky dvd thriler

DH checked carefully for signs of the 666 in his newborns. Should I be worried about him?

That Carl Orff must have been able to sit back and let the royalties roll in?
In spite of the theme being associated with Nazi Germany?

bugger- Godwins law?

Doesn't Sam Neill engage in Friday Night activity in Omen III?

There were lots of boys called Damien around when I was younger

What messages would those be, Barmy? Have you been on the sauce.

I hope not. Creepy children scare the bejeezis out of me.

Err, this is a really old film so come on Barmy........where ARE you going?

I really shouldn't have watched The Omen when I was an impressionable under 12 yo. Still creeps me out and I'm over 35.

Yes I definitely found a message in this film that I have adhered to ever since:

'Do NOT give birth to the son of Satan'

Do not drive into the baboon compound. Take the monkey friendly route.

Not to watch overrated dull "horror" movies?

well i enjoyed looking at all the lovely long party dresses the children wore at the party as i had one or two myself.

damien is very cute, i went to bed though before he got demonic

The message I took from it was that I needed some more DVDs.

And that I should probably get out more.

A mate of mine used to say she was going to write 666 on her DS' head with a biro the morning the nit nurse was due in school - which at least shows you how long ago that was. When did you last see an actual nit nurse in a school?

Was it the original Omen,or was it the inferior 2006 version?

I'm going to write 667 on mine. The neighbour of the beast.

I find it really heartwarming that so many Mumsnetters have managed to take away valuable messages which have clearly made a big difference to their lives from this film. proudnglad's message particularly stands out. The world will be a better place!

Surely 668 would be the beast's neighbour.667 would be over the road.

depends if you live on a road or in a cul-de-sac

I'm pretty sure the beast would live in a cul-de-sac.

The Beast would definately have net curtains.
