Man, you guys are too much. I was actually trying to figure out which one was better... I'll get back to you once it clicks—you all are just too intense... seriously, hats off to you.👍

Alexander Cruz32 said:Honestly, that whole part in Hannibal was the dumbest scene in the movie.
And it’s not even that much of a torture if the other guy doesn't feel anything, right?

I mean, let's be real—Hannibal definitely dipped into some trashy territory there, even if it was wrapped up in a pretty high-budget package.

But what if the song shows up in multiple movies?

Let's go with "Putting out The Fire" by David Bowie.

The older crowd might bring up "Cat People," while the younger generation—well, they’re more likely to shout "Inglourious Basterds."

Susan Bailey4 said:Directors who make movies like Cannibal Holocaust, where they actually go out and kill animals, could probably remake Hostel without feeling a shred of guilt. Honestly, seeing people get killed in a movie doesn't bother me at all, but slaughtering animals? That’s just low, even for us humans.

If you really feel that way, then there’s this one vivid yellow building at the edge of town—honestly, if you grew up in a major US city, you know exactly the kind of place I'm talking about. But that’s just the state of society today, isn't it? A person takes their own life, or even gets murdered, and they barely get a tiny little blurb in the newspaper. Yet, someone goes and hurts a dog—especially if it's a specific breed—and suddenly you have a full page dedicated to it. How many times can we witness this living nightmare?

That was a bit off-topic, wasn't it? — my apologies!
I guess we should probably get back to the actual topic at hand—if anyone’s still interested!

Well, maybe it isn't the absolute worst—but honestly, it’s probably the most unsettling kind of torture in *A Clockwork Orange*. There isn't even any physical injury involved, yet somehow, it still feels pretty revolting.

I wonder what they'll actually put in the trailer? Maybe something like

An even larger, more menacing, and far more lethal iceberg emerges from the dark depths of the Atlantic—dragging our heroes to their doom just as they were finally starting to find their footing in this chaotic world. Ah

Haha, honestly, the sheer level of campiness in this plot promises to be quite an entertaining watch—just another bizarre piece of the massive Hollywood puzzle...😁
Lincoln, vampires... it sounds like it could be a pretty hilarious ride 🙂

One of the most overrated bands in the history of rock—honestly. They just relentlessly leaned into their image, which ended up completely swallowing up what was already pretty mediocre music.

Joseph Chase29 said:The one movie I NEVER miss when it's on (just saw it on ABC) 😁
Even after 14 years, it's still my No. 1 🙂

Better start taking growth hormones then.😁

I just stumbled upon this video—honestly, it’s one of those tracks that really hits you right in the gut. There is something about the raw, visceral energy in this piece that feels almost overwhelming—it's a lot to process, actually. It reminds me quite a bit of the heavy, haunting atmosphere you get from Alice in Chains - Down in a Hole. You know that feeling? That sense of being completely submerged in something deep and dark, yet somehow finding a strange kind of beauty in the struggle? It’s heavy stuff—definitely not for when you're looking for something light and breezy—but it’s incredibly powerful. Just wanted to share it with the group; I think some of you might appreciate the depth here.

😁

Richard Wilson4 said:Man, I’d love to track down a 6-hour cut of Dune...

As far as official releases go, there's really only one slightly longer cut—about 40 minutes extra—and honestly, Lynch never had a hand in any other version of Dune.

feralorca82 said:The Asylum?! Well, then it’s an absolute MUST-watch 😂
standard trashy movies are child's play compared to Asylum's productions 🎉

Agreed every terrible movie😁
Honestly, any flick that's even slightly worse than pure garbage is worth a look—just for the laughs.
But, alas... we won't be seeing the lead actor from the first installment in the sequel—you know, Santa Claus himself. What a tragedy!

It really depends on the movie—and what kind of "aftereffect" we're talking about. For instance, after watching Titanic or The English Patient, I’d end up with this lingering sense of emotional salmonella...
then, say, after catching something like Message in a Bottle or anything involving Megrajan, I’d deal with a total hangover effect—complete with some pretty brutal vomiting...
as for those mental gymnastics provided by Van Damme or Lundgren? Well, I once nearly gave myself a stye in my left eye from laughing so hard...

casualeagle82 said:I watched War of the Worlds—specifically the Independence Day vibe—so I figured I’d post this here, especially since everyone seems obsessed with end-of-the-world theories lately...

What do you think, Bruce or maybe Frodo Baggins? :)

Personally, I find Deep Impact to be the better film—it feels more human, you know? It's really about regular people fighting for their lives...

Just pure Hollywood garbage.🙄

I have a feeling this whole thing is going to end up having sequels. 🙄

Just imagine the titles:

Cobalt Man, Son of Iron Man
Return of the Son of Silverman
Platinum Girl from Helium City
Iridium Redneck vs. Selenium City Boy
and so on.

quietmaker44 said:Seriously, can they squeeze any more juice out of this Robin Hood guy??
Or is this just some pathetic byproduct of the writers' strike? 😁

Well, yeah... just like 99% of all post-production work—I’d much rather deal with Robin Hood featuring Fairbanks or Flynn. 🙂

I’ll probably be met with some grief for this one—it's a bit of a guilty pleasure—but honestly, I find Breakfast at Tiffany's to be one of those truly sappy, overhyped melodramas. Don't get me wrong, I've always felt Audrey was a bit overrated, but the sheer level of pathos in this movie is just unbearable. And don't even get me started on the endless, repetitive looping of Moon River throughout the entire film... enough already! Even Capote himself falls into that category of overpraised Americans who somehow became "classics" for reasons nobody can quite pin down. It isn't a bad film, per se—truth be told, it's fine—but the hype surrounding it is just unnaturally loud. I watched it, read about it, forgot it, and that's that.

wiredbison82 said:Aside from the exceptional Clerks, that group hasn't exactly been churning out top-tier cinema.

I have to agree... though honestly, most of their other stuff is better than this one.

It’s a pretty silly movie—one of those attempts to explain certain Christian concepts to Americans through a comedic lens. Honestly, it feels like such a waste of talent, especially considering how many much better films this same crew has produced in the past...

Robin Reyes47 said:What are we even talking about here? Just three weeks ago, Cox and Kudrow did an interview where they basically said there was nothing happening with the movie. So, where is all this new info coming from?

So, it turns out Zeus is involved...

Edward Price6 said:I assume you've heard the term "entertainment"?
Not every single movie needs to be a cinematic masterpiece worthy of a Pulitzer.

Ha! Well, even Chaplin was considered entertaining... and he was black-and-white and silent.🙂
Everything is just going to hell—technical progress is ruining everything.
