I just can't see that actor fitting into any "regular" movies...

Flash Gordon😂

Anyone know of any movies set in the future that actually talk about 2007 or anything earlier?

wearytinker8 said:The couple in "Irreversible" actually played husband and wife in real life, too. Which makes me wonder how the director even convinced him to sit there while that disgusting creep spends ten minutes assaulting her and grabbing at her...
If a director ever pitched something like that to me, I’d probably lose my mind.

Honestly, who cares? It’s just how it happened. He unzips, things are hanging out, then he goes at it and connects with her. Then after a bit... he pulls out and you can see he's hard. Then he starts again.
I don't know, it's hard to imagine they could have faked that level of intensity. When he's riding her and moving his hips like that, where else would he be if he wasn't inside her?

Jesse Ortiz4 said:And the soundtrack in Irreversible is basically designed to make you want to barf (especially in those first 20 minutes). That, combined with the jittery, nervous camerawork, is why people were losing it 😍

The first 30 minutes of the film features this low-frequency background hum at 28Hz—it’s almost inaudible, kind of like the vibration you feel right before an earthquake hits. In humans, that kind of sound triggers nausea, sickness, and vertigo. It was the main cause of people walking out of the theaters during the first part of the film in places like Cannes and San Sebastian. Honestly, they added it on purpose just to get that exact reaction

all I know is that I felt terrible during the first half hour... probably because I knocked back two beers right before it started. After thirty minutes though, I kind of got used to needing a bathroom break (honestly, I was too invested in the movie to leave for a pee).😁

hollowsailor19 said:It’s not torture, just a scene from Fight Club where Norton absolutely demolishes a guy's head with a floorboard (it gets brutal)

Personally, I found the tension in history x even more shocking, even if they don't explicitly show it.

Yeah, and that scene where Hannibal cracks open his victim's skull while he's drugged out is just nasty. They're actually messing with him. Just being total bulazniti about his future career.
Hannibal talks about prepping dinner, and the guy is just sitting there going "nom, nom."
Then he carves off a little piece of brain and splashes some oil to see if it's hot enough to fry.
Finally, he offers the fried bit to his "host" to see if he likes the meal, and the guy thinks it's delicious.🙂

Olivia Newman68 said:hm, Zafranovic’s "Occupation in 26 Frames" actually hits pretty hard; that bus torture scene is especially brutal... they're driving nails into heads, slicing up tongues and chests, and there are sledgehammers involved too...

Even our Conductor with Brando has stuff like that.

Yeah. That slow descent into madness? It’s not even as bad as that scene toward the end where the guy grabs a heavy fire extinguisher and just starts whaling on the other dude. He doesn't stop. It's not just that his face is totally mangled; we're talking raw flesh and a shattered skull. And the camera? It doesn't even flinch. Just stays right there.
The sound design is brutal—you can practically hear the heavy metal crushing bone.
Disturbing.
Then you've got a crowd of guys swarming the scene (kind of like those wild fights you see in movies where everyone starts cheering), stripping down, and jerking off to the chaos.

Priceless!

I'm with you on that.
He’s actually pretty solid in his other movies too, don't you think?

The original was way better than the sequels.
Doesn't it make you want to go back and watch it?

Total classic!
I actually dug this one, even though I've kind of outgrown the horror genre.👍
It’s not exactly terrifying, just super eerie.
The lead actor is easily the best part; man, what a performance and what a look.
It's like God crafted him specifically to play the son of Satan.
Tons of gore, too.
The plot? Not exactly groundbreaking...
Wouldn't suggest it if you aren't into horror.

I loved this thing when I was a kid.
Pure parody.
But does it just poke fun at horror movies, or musicals, romances, and Black cinema too?
Such a solid flick.
As far back as I can remember, it was a huge hit in the States...
What was the original title again?
Pretty sure this is where my love for parodies actually started.

Probably the only good movie featuring Steve Martin...

Honestly, I don't think I'd get along with anyone here, lol. Especially regarding comedies. In my opinion, all the ones mentioned suck.
When it comes to that genre, you just can't beat the French.
After them, maybe some American films, especially when they mix in tragedy.

Anyway, I’m big on movies that don't fit into one neat little box—you know, those weird genre mashups.
If a movie is just a textbook example of one specific genre, it feels formulaic and lacks originality, and that's just not my thing.

🤣 😂 🙏

Richard Howard2 said:Oof, this list looks like it was put together by a ten-year-old...

I'm with you on that one.....
Honestly, I can't find a single thing to agree with in this whole thread.

I don't know, a setup like this just has way more potential for drama, tension, irony, metaphors...

Mexicans would make a better movie...

What’s the actual link between being a good person and having emotional intelligence? 😕

Did you guys catch that clip of Michael Moore on CNN?

Emotional intelligence is its own kind of smarts, right? It’s totally different from other ways we process things.
Having it doesn't mean you're a genius everywhere else, nor does lacking it make you a dummy in other fields.
Think of it as just how intelligence shows up when it comes to feelings and how we vibe with people.
Intelligence isn't some isolated thing sitting on a shelf, separate from stuff like what you know or what you've been through.
In the real world, they're all tangled together.
It’s like hydrogen and oxygen making up water. You can't just grab them with your bare hands, right? And you definitely can't look at a glass of water and point out which part is the oxygen and which is the hydrogen—they're all just one inseparable mix.

hmm, hard to really put my finger on it...
is it just something you pick up through experience, maybe some kind of wisdom?

intellect = knowledge plus intelligence
