Am I a terrible person for using all the episodes of Hoarders they have as background motivational material when I clean? I kind of want the 4th season because I've gone through the 3 that are on there.

Those shows are just so drat sad (especially when they're like that due to a loss of a child or family member  )I started watching Bronson last night, due to all the mentions of it being a Tom Hardy performance to check out. It's pretty entertaining and sad at the same time. Fav quote: Magic? You just pissed on a gypsy in the middle of nowhere. That's hardly the hottest ticket in town, darling

Trying to decide whether we should watch them or not. The sequels just have some flashbacks of the rape when Lisbeth goes to court and stuff. Nothing too graphic in the sequels. I should warn you, though, the sequels are very different movies compared to the first, focusing more on her personal life. I actually thought the rape in Fincher's remake was more brutal/graphic, but so was her revenge scene.

priznat posted:That skinemax ref makes me wonder, what are some of the hardest-R movies on netflix? Could be for violence, nudity, whatever. There's a horror movie that's NC-17 for violence and gore: "100 Tears". It is really, really bad in every conceivable way though. Like, I love bad horror movies but gently caress.

Ha, the best part of Dinosaur Island was that the t-rex looked like a hand puppet and it was still better than the crappy CGI dinosaurs on SyFy movies. This may have been posted but Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies is up and I'm going to give a go tonight.

The original I Spit On Your Grave is pretty hard R. Between a violent rape scene lasting VERY long, brutal castration, and other mutilations, it gets pretty raunchy and gross. I haven't seen the remake, so I can't say much about it. http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/I_Spit_on_Your_Grave/615448?trkid=2361637

If you're thinking in terms of graphic violence and cruelty that can be hard to take, I think forum favorite The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover qualifies. I find the various scenes of violence and cruelty a bit much to take.

I hope the 3rd one goes up soon. wait wait wait, 3rd one? The third one as far as i know hasn't even been completed yet. And from what i read, sadly it will be Donnie Yens last movie. If you are referring to Ip man the legend is born, i dont know if i would call it the third one. I here its way below par from the first two movies and the Donnie Yen replacement doesnt come anywhere near Donnie yen.

As far as gnarly violence goes (but it's also a super excellent movie) check out I Saw the Devil. It's Korean and kind of in the vein of the revenge trilogy (oldboy etc) but I like it better than any of those.

If I had to shoehorn it into an imaginary scale from Mr. Vengeance, to Old Boy, I'd put it in the middle somewhere.

My friend told me about it once, apparently its one that entirely focuses on Bruce Lee and his training, is that what the legend is born is about?? If so, then my apologizes. Also, since we're talking about Korean movies AGAIN (seriously, I've recommended this movies so many times in this thread) check out The Man from Nowhere. It kind of follows the same storyline as Taken, but this ones awesome. Believe me. Holy crap that 7 minute knife fight is unbelievable.

Talking about Oldboy, I couldn't find anything new that I wanted to watch the other night, so I turned on Oldboy and was disappointed to find that it was dubbed into English rather than Korean with subtitles. I turned it off before the police station scene was over. Am I a super spergy goon because of this

Do you like dark comedy? Do you not mind watching 2 hours of subtitled Korean? Then boy should you watch The Quiz Show Scandal! Basically a group of strangers meet in a police station after a freak accident, find the last answer to a multimillion dollar quiz show, and now all have to get on the show and make it to that last question to win. It has a lot of dark humor but also a good amount of just plain absurd silly humor that really works well blended in, and there are some pretty drat well done moments of drama to make it feel a bit more than just mindless jokes.

It's ok though, the dub of Oldboy is really really bad so seeking out the sub is pretty highly encouraged.

You should all go watch Fido, a movie about a post-zombie apocalypse world where zombies are domesticated and kept as pets. It has Trinity from The Matrix and it's as fun as it sounds.

I saw Fido a while back and assumed it was going to be garbage, but it was really entertaining. Like Leave It to Beaver with more zombies and less thinly veiled threats of violence from Ward Cleaver. Ward was kind of a psycho in hindsight.

Not sure if anyone knows this already but the original RoboCop is on Netflix. If for some reason anyone DOESN'T know about RoboCop but it's one of the best late 80s action movies.

Was in the mood for cheesy 80's action and watch Steel Dawn which should be subtitled, "It's all fun and games until someone breaks the windmill." It features Patrick Swayze with a hair-do that must haunt him 'til this day and makes Joe Dirt look fashionable. Steel Dawn is only remarkable in that it is completely unremarkable except it has every 80's sci-fi/action trope ever. The story is basically a post-apocalyptic remake of Shane (1953).

Ended up watching God Bless America last night. It's a Bobcat Goldthwait written and directed heart-warming tale of a man sick and tired of the decline of American culture, in particular with its obsession with reality TV and entertainment. Upon receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, he snaps and embarks upon a killing spree of those deserving of his wrath. Along the way he teams up with a spunky teenage girl who is equally loathing of the state of America. Parts of it reminded me of a more twisted version of Lost in Translation (which made a lot more sense when I read about the lead actor's family), as well as Leon the Professional and Falling Down.

I saw this a few days ago and had high hopes for it after seeing Goldthwait's World's Best Dad, but it really is just a violence/revenge fantasy set to film. I hoped it could have been more, but it's definitely not the quality of Goldthwait's last movie and falls short where it could have been great (such as if they'd been ballsy enough to pull a Funny Games and indict the audience for enjoying the killing). Definitely can't wait to finally see Glengarry Glen Ross though.
