Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

*censored* Human Centipede!

*profanity* Human Centipede!

*expletive* Human Centipede!

Nah, man. That ain't it. Actually, you know what? Human Centipede might have been the straw that broke the camel's back for me on horror movies. I seriously watched that A2M piece of **** and thought, "Why am I wasting time with this genre? Nah, I'm out."

I'm not... I won't... BRUH... who... and why... would...

 

[MajinZuub]

I never have and never will have any desire to watch Human Centipede

 

[darthska]

Looks cheesy & fun. Not usually in The Rock's wheelhouse.

Seriously. Gonna watch that, might as well go with Faces of Death next.

 

[Master Zik]

Those movies are only watched when you're trying to desensitize yourself from all gore and sex related nastiness.

 

[darthska]

People who like Human Centipede most likely eat Kit Kats sideways. Just a different level of weird.

Human Centipede was a garbage movie, a waste of time, and utterly insulting to my senses. It's not a horror movie, it's not an experimental film, it's not a movie worth watching. The script was bad, the plot was nonsense, and the characters were bland, boring and betrayed any semblance of intelligence. Horror movies wink and nod to tropes and cliches; the Garbage Centipede drowned the tropes in it's own musty self-indulgent "subversion." For no reason than to have a reason for more of them.

**** the Human Centipede. Probably the only movie I've been physically upset and angered that I wasted my time on. I did not like Hostel, i almost walked out of the theater when i went to see that originally, but even that movie didnt piss me off the way that garbage Centipede pile of **** did.

0.1/8. I only rate it above a 0 because it ended.

Anyone check out '71, it's a solid movie. I have little knowledge about IRA and the conflict between the English and Northern Irish. Pretty straight forward suspense with exceptional acting which kept the movie immersive, especially given the main character's situation.

For the curious:

Damn man. I recorded it a long time ago but deleted it to make space. Not showing anymore. I remember recording it cause of the high tomatoes. I shoulda kept it. Might have to stream it.

 

[getback]

Used to love this scene as kid. Something about it. Probably a combo of the score and "mysteriousness."

Goonies, Stand By Me, Sandlot,

Goonies, Stand By Me, Sandlot,

Do you guys ever use current kids to judge if a kids movie from back in the day holds up over time? I just watched The Sandlot with my son about a month ago, and I remember showing him The Goonies last summer. I cannot overemphasize how much he loved both of them. He LOVED the truffle shuffle and Data in Goonies.

And in Sandlot, I kid you not, every time they would show the teeth of The Beast or you would hear the growling and the kids were all afraid, I promise you, he kept saying "I bet it's just some really nice dog and they don't even need to be afraid." Then when we finally see The Beast, he goes "Whoa! That is a huge dog! I bet he's still nice, though." #animal_lover (not me; he definitely gets that Steve Irwin ish from his mom, but that's a whole different convo.)

 

[jayt1202]

Dang 2021 though?? Looking forward to it regardless on the strength of the last film.

 

[getback]

Goonies, Stand By Me, Sandlot,

I'm throwing this in there too. I always enjoyed movies about kids going on adventures and/or getting into trouble. Especially ones that embodied the 80's spirit.

I never saw it . I was a fan of Married With Children tho so I did like this.

This is also definitely a classic for me

Yeah, it's an enjoyable movie. Kept me on the edge of my seat the majority of the time.

 

[jayt1202]

Sandlot is my favorite coming of age movie ever and one of my personal favorites overall. Has anyone seen Boyhood? Have been meaning to watch it for sometime.

 

[getback]

Yeah Boyhood seems like one of those love/hate movies. Cane off as more of an experiment but they pulled it off. Definitely a trip. Makes you ponder your own life quite a bit. Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette were great. If you ever watch interviews they did you can see how passionate about the project they were.

I would like to echo the sentiments of the thread, RE: Human Centipede. I used to be able to watch all kinds of craziness as a kid, but tbh, once I got older, I lost the need to see extensive violence and gore in films.

Heck, I don't even like seeing people die in movies

I have a theory. I think we gravitate to gore and violence when we're young cause we don't really understand it. We have this natural instinct to want to test our bravery when we're young so we seek out ways to see where the edge is and how close we can get to it because we don't know anything about it, much less ourselves. It's the reason why we climb trees, jump from high places, lie to our parents, steal a candy bar, watch scary movies, and get into fights. We're learning where the line is between ourselves and the world and we're trying figure out what we would do once we find it. The older we get, the more we understand where the lines are and no longer really need to seek it out.
