Probably just a typo, but it's Salo (aka 'The 120 Days of Sodom') and you're right, it's the sickest fucking movie I've ever had the misfortune to see. Wish I could un-see it.dessert said:Passolini's <i>Salon</i>, if you could find it. Its about Italian futurists/facists. They rape teenage girls, eat poop, and scalps them, and of course kills a lot.
Hmmm... this is one of my all time faves. It's straight forward. What's not to get?gravitas said:-a clockwork orange, I've watched it a couple of times and for the life of me can't "get it"![]()
Both tried to be controversial but tried too hard and ended up being contrived and boring.gravitas said:-eyes wide shut, another kubrick POS*
-magnolia, another tom cruise POS
That's a surprise. I almost fell asleep watching it... it was so superficial and predictable. I thought everyone would think the same.gravitas said:-american beauty, I found the movie very disturbing
Never saw it, sounds like a good movie because I think Nick Cage is a skilled actor.gravitas said:-8mm, an utterly disturbed movie but nick cage rocks and like that he killed the evil fuckers with total malice
I saw that movie as a kid and I got erections all week thinking about it. I love Debbie Harry... what a sexy sexy woman.gravitas said:-videodrome, wierd![]()
A great movie about the injustice of our times. It didn't disturb me.... it made me sad for what the wealthy nations have done to others in their ignorance and greed.gravitas said:-killing fields, amazing movie but still disturbed
The most shocking thing about that one was Christopher Walken snapping in like a zombie whenever he had one of his "sessions". Once you got used to that, the movie was just entertaining hollywood candy.gravitas said:-the dead zone
She is truly talentless. So is that other lesbo talk show host, I forget her name. In this day and age, you get applauded for being lesbian, not for being skilled. Soon all homosexuals will become our heroes, and shut up if you don't think so.gravitas said:-anything with that talentless bull dyke rosie o'donnell
Gary, STOP PLAGIARIZING!!the virgin gary said:Happiness blew me away unlike anything else I`d seen when I first viewed it back in 2000 or so. Based on the cover, I thought it was a cartoon with the nurse dude from MAGNOLIA, and when I rented and watched it, I got child rape, on-screen ejaculation, and an overwhelming sense of doom and alienation. There simply is nothing nice or happy about this film or the subject matter that it presents. You might not like it but you`ve got to appreciate the fact that SOMEONE is presenting this stuff to you. It is completely devoid of any sort of reinforcement or reassurance and there are no sympathetic characters whatsoever, really. There are, however, sad, truly human ones, and that`s what makes this film one in a million. It STILL feels unique, and so much of the last few year`s shock pictures just don`t measure up.
I absolutely love the film so much, because it presents misery and general malaise and asks us to accept these things as just as relevant as happiness. I`ve spent a lot of time battling depression, and I work with a lot of people who have done the same thing all their lives, and to me, HAPPINESS is a look at the type of people who can`t seem to figure out what they want and probably couldn`t work towards those goals if they ever did figure them out. I have a friend who says that everyone should strive to be happy at all the times and that if you smile, you`ll start to feel better and blah blah blah. She`s a very intelligent girl but I still think this is bullshit and that in the end, being sad is just as valid as being happy. To me, it also raises the question of why we place such a premium on happiness and contentment. Growing up, my mom always instilled the idea that it`s OK to be sad and lonely, so long as no one else knew these things. Keep them in the family and don`t talk about them to anyone else, because then people will know that you are, GASP, unhappy. Happiness and sadness are really just the same things, feelings, and they`re neither good nor bad, they just are. Furthermore, why shouldn`t movies be depressing? Why do we feel like we need to be uplifted or inspired? Personally, I find the fact that HAPPINESS dares you to fucking like it, dares you to feel any warmth or kindness, balls-to-the-wall and everything that most movies aren`t. One in a fucking million.
HAPPINESS asks you to consider that maybe the world isn`t a beautiful place, that sexual predators and pedophiles exist in the world and that these people want to be happy just as much as the rest of us. It`s a scary angle to consider and I can totally understand not wanting to consider it, but I also don`t think the film should be categorized as unworthy simply because it asks one to consider it.
jeez, how stupid does someone have to be to plagarize something on PERB?Avery said:Gary, STOP PLAGIARIZING!!
That's what I really like about you, Kayla - your tenderness and compassion!shedevil said:Hostel. I loved the gore. Especially when they burned out that chicks eye, and the other guy had to cut it off.![]()
Babe, you have a way of unhinging me. This one suggestion would kill me to watch. But thanks for the reminder you can do that to the likes of me.shedevil said:
Agreed Boxing Helena is disturbing but I had to keep watching, strange, strange movie.bigmoe69er said:Boxing Helena is still the most deviant film I have ever seen. ...very difficult to watch. ...highly disturbing with nothing to laugh about or be entertained by...no redeeming values whatsoever.

Yes, although it doesn't belong in a demented thread. It was good, they didn't butcher it. It's more like a 2 hour episode.Rob1 said:Has aney one seen The trailer park boys movie?![]()
