Bad vibes the day before

Im planning on taking shrooms tonight around 6:00 FOR THE FIRST TIME, but last night I watched Full Metal Jacket (up until the part where pile kills his sargeant and himself.) I realized that probably not the best thing for a night before shrooms, so I turned it off. Then my two friends had a pretty heated argument later htat night. Today I'm not really feeling it, and Im wondering...
Should I wait another week?
Or am I being too careful/paranoid, and if I feel fine the rest of today, should I go ahead?
Also, what do you experienced trippers do in the hours before you take the shrooms?
I'm planning on eating lightly but well, going running, maybe trying to meditate, and after that I sorta ran out of ideas. I already know what im doing (effects, duration, I've read hundreds of trip reports), So I can't really spend the day reading up. Any suggestions?

I can't decide it for you...
If you feel good then it should be no problem.
Maybe take a walk or read a book, watch national geographic/discovery channel etc etc. Also don't eat at least 4 houres beforeyou consume the shrooms. empty stomach is important 
have fun!

Thanks, I'm definitley going to listen to how I'm feeling, Im just trying to get the general idea.
When other members are going to trip, would something like this be a caution/proceed with care kinda warning, or is the night before the night one trips not really relevent? Because I know ones mindset the day before makes a difference, but didn't know how far back that extended.

I tripped a couple of times when the day prior to the trip was quite awful, I had some negative experiences at first but fairly soon that went away.
Anyway, if u have everything ready for a trip, go for it.
May the shroom be with you

oops... so i accidentally clicked the "Yes, Definitely" But i meant to click the "Only if today goes really well"
I'm a big fan of trusting you gut instinct. If you don't feel it's the right time then wait it out. I've def had times where i could have followed my gut instinct or the opposite thoughts. Followed the gut and the outcome was better than i expected.

If you're really bugged by this idea, you should probably wait a few days, because it can have repercussions on your trip. I'm only giving you this advice because you never took mushrooms before.Because it could ruin the idea of tripping for you. Otherwise, if it wouldn't be for the first time, I'd say go with it, because ever if you had a so called bad trip, t would of gotten this negative feelings after the trip ended. The mushrooms has great healing abilities and takes care on how to deal with your problems in the future. Hope I could help, and most important of all, whatever you do, don't be afraid, you got nothing to fear, the mushroom is your friend, not your enemy.

Not that this is probable in any short amount of time- but personally I think you should be able to get through Full Metal Jacket and an argument your friends are having before taking shrooms. If disturbing images from Hollywood appearing on a screen seem to throw your day/vibes out of whack, maybe you should hold out on the shrooms a bit longer. What happens if you're lost in a thought loop of disturbing images/thoughts? I'd imagine you'd be even more freaked out if these images/thoughts were coming from your own head rather than a T.V. screen.
I'm sure that'll make me sound like an ass though, as you really want to dose for the first time. If the whole movie issue was a fluke, and you genuinely feel fine- then go for it, dose 1/2 an 1/8 and I don't think you'll have any issues. But try identifying why two friends fighting and Full Metal Jacket have thrown you out of whack. Find light in the darkness before tripping...

If you dont have any issues that you're dealing with at the moment, dont get bent up over a movie.
Dont hide from the truth, the world can be fucked up, but if you're doing OK, the youll be OK.
If you feel good just pop them, the first trip is always the most amazing!!!!
Remember to go with the flow.

Thanks everyone. I'm a careful kid (This trip has been in planning for almost 6 months), and normally I wouldn't give two shits about Full Metal Jacket (I really liked it) or an argument. I'm just being extra-careful. So far the days gone great, and Im ready to trip. Went for a walk, now im straightening out my room, and getting ready.
Imma make the launch descision at the last minute.

I think unless the movie really scares or disturbs you you'll have no problem. For example the only movies i'd never watch on shrooms are the Exorcist (I saw it when I was 12 and still up to this day I start shaking when I think about it before going to bed) and the Exorcism of Emily Rose (The night after i watched that I was lying in bed stoned and just one thought was enough to scare me stiff, I actually thought I was going to get possessed that night just because of my fear). They are the only 2 movies that ever found scary. Id say its because I was raised in a real strict catholic house and my granny used to always tell me about the devil and demons and how I would burn in hell if I didnt go to mass.
Personally I can handly really shitty environments when im on shrooms. Once I got stuck in the other side of the city and 2 in the morning with no money and it was about -10 degrees and even that wasnt enough to drag me into a bad trip. On the contrary I remember feeling free to do whatever I wanted so I strolled around the city for the rest of the night. The whole night was fun but I cant imagine what it would have been like if I was on a bad trip. It would have been hell. I think its all about your mentality. If you find yourself drifting into a negative trip you have to fight to bring it back to a positive one.
