![]() I can't rate this movie. Kill me, I feel perveted, this is the most horrible movie I've ever seen. By the way, I saw it in a cinema, surrounded by strangers.

Haha, what the heck, El Topo is one of the best films ever, an 11/10. Watch it a few more times.
Salo is boring. |

Hahaha, that's all you've got to say ? I was wondering if you could tell me a bit more of your opinion about it... That movie seriously disturbed me in every possible way, I've never felt so awkward while watching a movie. An unique experience.

Eh. Decent atmosphere, a few okay scenes, great Morricone music, way too long, what do you want me to say? I was looking forward to watching it for 5 years, could barely get through the whole thing while watching it (not because I was disturbed, because I was bored!). I'd read the De Sade book it's based on; the movie is about 5% as disturbing as the book. I dunno. Just not much to like about it. I know that was the point, but I dunno, I try to evaluate films based upon how they entertain me, or make me think. I guess it's probably an unconventional film, and kinda interestingly-structured, but it just goes on and on. I kinda found it comedic by the end, just how ridiculous it was, old men with binoculars and shit watching these "atrocities". I kept thinking "OHHHHHH THE HORRROR!!!!!" Like, come on.
I dunno, I just wasn't impressed. Maybe because I'd already seen KICHIKU DAI ENKAI... now if you want a truly disturbing, soul sucking movie.. |

I watched 20 mins of Confessions Of A Shopaholic and wanted to fucking riot.

This Salo trailer is better than the movie itself:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OVfhSjaaos I wish I could find the guy who took all the best Salo scenes and put Benny Hill music over top, THAT was a riot. |

Haha, ok ! It's just that I'm probably going to think about the movie for a few days because it truly STRUCK me. I didn't think it was boring because I was kinda "fascinated" yet disgusted. I mean, it's hard for me to get bored while watching a movie, especially in a theater... But yeah, anyway, thank you for your opinion. I've never heard about Kichiku, so you're saying that it's even more shocking than Salò ? Wow, I don't know if I wanna check it out haha.

Sure. I find a scene of a woman raped by a shotgun and then the trigger pulled much more disturbing than Salo. But that's just a small part. The whole film is just the bleakest, most depressing, most hard to watch film ever. Unlike Salo though, I found it interesting the whole time.
![]() I've got the 2 disc special edition.. got it from a pawn shop for a few bucks. This was actually an animal store that had a pawn shop in the front. They had like 30 dvd's, and this was one of them. No idea how the fuck KICHIKU got a pile of dvd's with PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN and HOME ALONE 2 but ... Highly reccomended! |

![]() Yeah, check out Kichiku. It's a bit slow going at first but it gets good. ![]() Another movie that deeply troubled me was the last 30 minutes or so of Visions of Suffering. Some of it was laughable, as it's easily the most insane movie ever, only because they used every vst plugin, weird effect, etc etc etc ever to make the movie. So, the whole thing is this artificial world. But at the end, when a gigantic 3D scythe cuts a guy's balls out and then a weird metal pipe cleaner monster enters a guy's brain in crude stop motion and then goes into a pipe and like mates with another metal pipe cleaner worm thing or something to this weird metallic music... I dunno, just a hard movie to watch. Pretty much any movie released by UNEARTHED FILMS is pretty disturbing, really. |

![]() 6.5/10 Nothing special. It was too long, and I had trouble giving a shit about any of the characters. Still better than most of the upchuck coming out these days, though. |

If I had one complaint about this movie it's that. None of the characters beyond Cobb have any kind of characterization or depth. Yeah sure, Arthur is resourceful and quick on his feet, but uh you don't know anything about him, or ever learn anything about him. It's like that for everyone but Cobb and I guess Fischer. Still thought the film was incredible though.

"Nothing special." Sure, if you don't like imaginative, inventive, intelligent, well-made, breathtaking, mindblowing, forward-thinking mainstream cinema, it's definitely nothing special! Haha. Man, Joe, you must've been in a really bad mood when you saw that film. Or you just don't watch many mainstream movies coming out in te theaters nowadays, because this is by far the best mainstream American $160,000,000 movie to come out since the 2000's started! I also love Crank and Crank 2 and Superbad and Mean Girls and a few other examples, but other than that... big-budget Hollywood cinema has sucked. A cinematic wasteland. I try not to rate movies based upon their importance on the overall scheme of things, but I'm almost willing to give it a 10/10 just for being the only film to genuinely blow me away and not feel like a rehash of anything (though it did have a Dark City-ish feel in places).
Inception is a masterpiece, everyone, check it out! Also, Joe, did you see my post on the last page? Giuseppe Andrews retired from filmmaking! Who's going to fill his void? I hope it's you! |

![]() things to do in denver when you're dead - 7/10 A low 7. Strangely interesting, and unconventional in places, but eh. Steve Buscemi as a hardcore killer was just hilarious. ![]() in search of a midnight kiss - 5/10 Why does it say "lo-fi" in that one quote? Um, anyway... this film is... okay. Great editing, nice to look at (black and white and overcontrasted) but eh. |
