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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Out of all the states, literally the only movie I've never heard of is the one chose to represent my state. Gummo? WTF?

Someone tell me now: if I IMDB it, will I be traumatized? Like Saw-movie-synopsis traumatized? (That's not a joke, for those who missed that confession in Natter a while ago.)

Because books.

I'd never heard of Beyond, either.

I'd consider it and Inside, but I think I'd pass on Cannibal Holocaust.

hwæt

Ohio's film should definitely be Heathers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Here you go, Teppy:

Lonely residents of a tornado-stricken Ohio town wander the deserted landscape trying to fulfill their boring, nihilistic lives.

Could work for Michigan just as well, really.

Shit, man, we don't even need tornadoes to do THAT.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Inside

Eeeep! That movie makes me shudder.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

OK, back to the horror movies. I've never ever heard of Cannibal Holocaust or Inside.

Worth watching or just gross-out?

Cannibal Holocaust is the one where they actually filmed animals being maimed and killed, right? Definite pass from me.

I recall having the impression Gummo was like Kid Eraserhead, but I've never seen it.

Yes, according to the comments on that site. So I'm crossing it off my list. And I'm not sure I can handle Inside as it hits some personal squicks.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I recall having the impression Gummo was like Kid Eraserhead, but I've never seen it.

I haven't seen it either. I only remember the promo photo of the freaky-looking kid in the tub.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I never even heard of the movie for Wisconsin!

I haven't seen it, but I'm sure it's a far better choice than anything inspired by Ed Gein.
