No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

The movies and scenes that I find truly scary are the ones where regular humans are knowingly doing absolutely awful things to each other - I'm thinking of specific scenes in Payback and The Grifters, but there are many more.

I was going to talk about Straw Dogs yesterday, but figured I'd probably pimped it more than often enough as the most chilling movie I've ever seen on so many levels.

Compassionately intolerant

Watching Boondock Saints...this is interesting. And, who to my wondering I should appear but Ron Jeremy? Good lawd!

Hey. New board.

The first second you figure out how the hooker got killed in Se7en. Oh my God, that is a shudder moment.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Heh. I love Boondock Saints. My brother says when he was showing it to my parents, my dad snickered when Ron Jeremy first came on screen. My mom asked him "Who is that?" and my dad feigned ignorance.

Somebody mentions SotL, my brain goes to Seven. I think they're a genre all their own.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

When you're done with Boondock Saints, rent Overnight.

Actually, everyone should see that.

Thrive to spite them

I'm not sure if I got to the hooker in Se7en. I don't actually want to know how she was killed. I watched part of Se7en on video with friends, I had to get up and hide out in another room until the movie was over.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I love Boondock Saints.

Willem Dafoe kills me in it every time.

Saw had some pretty interesting deaths. Also Audition. I can't think of any that I couldn't actually watch though. The only thing that I have to watch through my fingers is people embarrasing themselves.
