The list has me kind of curious about Audition (at #11), which I've never even heard of before. Netflix has it, but I'm not sure whether I'd have the stomach for the climax, which supposedly contains disturbingly graphic torture scenes. I like non-gory horror and have high tolerance for the creepy, but graphic torture? Dude, I don't know.
You do not want to go there. Takeshi Miike is a madman, and the bits you saw during the show....nothing close to what you're going to get with the real thing. The bit with the leg? Miike showed the whole thing.
The Japanese are strange - no genetalia (at least outside of anime), but the most heinous, sadistic violence (often with a sexual compenent) = fun for the whole family.
I just got back from seeing
The Incredibles.
I cannot describe how much in love I am with this movie. It is easily one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen. I was grinning like an idiot throughout the whole thing, except when I was laughing my ass off.
I cannot wait for more Buffistas to see this, since I wanna discuss.
There are no "out-takes" or anything after the credits, but the closing credits are worth watching in and of themselves.

Literally, in the case of
In The Realm Of The Senses.
I love the Incredibles. I had a big happy goofy grin on my face. Nice and funny, funny and nice.

Yeah. I read a few reviews and several people were hinting at something about piano wires, and... what was served up by my imagination was horrific enough. I was mainly interested because several reviewers said it had interesting (if extreme) things to say about gender politics, but OK, it sounds like I'd be better off giving it a pass.
Just got back from
The Incredibles.
Loved it like a crazy person. I want my very own Edna.
I saw Audition a few weeks ago. There were a few very brief things I'd classify as "scary," but I wouldn't put the graphic torture in as "scary."
"Gross," "jaw-dropping" and "what the shit IS this," yes.
Edna was a dead-on portrait (at least physically) of the legendary Hollywood costume designer Edith Head.
Edna is a delight and a wonder. The whole
montage on why capes are BAD
had me in pain from the funny.
I love The Incredibles so so much and I want to watch it again a MILLION times.
I can already tell it's going to be one of those movies where the crypoints are going to bleed into the surrounding scenes until I'm quietly tearing up throughout the entire film. It's going to be Lilo & Stitch all over again. (There was actually a point towards the end where I realized
that the giant machine they fight basically IS a mechanical Stitch, the way it tucks in its arms and rolls around destroying stuff.)
Pierce Brosnan wants Colin Farrell.
