Just the trailer alone for the Apes movie left me with the impression that the movie was both (1) stressful and (2) upsetting. I knew I'd be passing on that one.
Good thing GotG opens soon.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

In the theater, I saw people with their hands over their faces and wondered for a minute what was wrong with me.
Damn. I saw it at iPic (seeing it at a luxury theatre? very weird), so I didn't see any audience reaction at all from my recliner.
Kinda wish I had, because now I'm curious.

I was one of those people at my theater, but I'm usually one of those people.

Yeah, me too. If I think something may too much for me, I NOPE out pretty quickly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
As another buffista who gets stressed out by too much gore, I want to thank everyone here for being so good as to confirm/reassure and not judge.

Oh, god yes, thanks for this. I've been told by a non-Buffista that I *must* endure works of fiction (books/films/TV) that are deeply upsetting to me, because Art. And something something "Art is supposed to destroy your complacency," something something "all you want is empty-headed pablum!"
I probably don't need to say that I avoid that person like the Black Death, huh? Sheesh.

I enjoy watching/reading things that disturb me, even if I occasionally have to cover my eyes, but I don't feel the need to convince others that they should enjoy that same things.
