09.22.11 | list is my favorite albums of 2011 so far. |
Hyperion1001
09.22.11 | Well theres a scene that involves testicular crushing and blood penises if that helps any. |
SpritzSpritz
09.22.11 | it's pretty brilliant. |
vmcoia91
09.22.11 | That does actually. I'm probably just going to tough it out, mainly cause it's von Trier and I love him. still, I have this feeling that those images are going to stay in my head for awhile and I'm not sure if I want that haha. |
Vesper
09.22.11 | Since you're a girl, you'll probably flinch more at the clit-snipping.
But, honestly, I don't think it was that graphic and many of the shots are beautiful enough to make up for it... but I've watched The Thing, Black Death, and Apocalypto during my past three dinners, so I don't know if I'm the best judge of this, hahaha. |
Kubrick
09.22.11 | Movie is soooooo good. There are so many scenes that will burn themselves into your mind, and I don't mean the genital mutilation scenes. It's seriously a breathtakingly beautiful movie. Don't hesitate to watch it... yeah there's some graphic scenes but there's so much more to it than that and it's pretty unforgettable in a lot of good ways.
Also, really excited to see Melancholia. I have a feeling it's going to be my favorite film this year.. I can barely stop watching the trailer haha. |
tkxxx7
09.22.11 | hey Vic, haven't seen you in awhile. Check out Thursday - No Devolucion. Great album from this year, possible OF the year |
vmcoia91
09.22.11 | Okay I'll give it a watch. And yes Melancholia is easily my most anticipated film of this fall. I'm actually pissed at myself because like 2 months back there was a theater near me that was screening everyday for 1 week only and I missed it. |
BallsToTheWall
09.22.11 | yeah melancholia looks good. |
Relinquished
09.22.11 | I want to watch this movie |
Vesper
09.22.11 | Yeah, if you're a von Trier fan, you'll be fine. It's just the people convinced he's a misogynistic Nazi that seem to rail against his movies over the graphic bits (even though he's said he actually identifies with his female characters). |
Kubrick
09.22.11 | It's interesting to me that most of the people making those assertions about von Trier are men. In fact.. female critics seemed to have a much better reaction to the film than male critics. All of the reviews that I saw which accused the film of misogyny were written by men. Funny... I mean you'd think a movie as misogynistic and sexist as some of those critics claim would probably be a bit more offensive to the actual members of the gender it is supposedly bashing.
..... Then again... maybe the female acceptance and approval of this film was actually von Trier's EXACT intention and REINFORCES his point that women are naturally violent, deranged creatures, thereby VALIDATING misogyny. DUN DUNN DUNNNNNNNNN |
DiceMan
09.22.11 | I didn't particularly enjoy it. |
rasputin
09.22.11 | it's pretty graphic
definitely an overrated movie though
von trier tries way too hard to cram as much bullshit as he can into it |
Kubrick
09.22.11 | I don't think you could really call it overrated considering you couldn't say it has anything better than mixed reviews. There's just as many critics that absolutely hated the movie than those that liked it.. even more so probably.
But yeah, I agree to to an extent. It doesn't necessarily succeed on the level of making any coherent point other than that nature runs by chaos rather than order and that rational thought will never be able to overcome the inherent irrationality of emotions and human nature. In terms of atmosphere and style though, it succeeds on essentially every level in my opinion. There is really nothing quite like watching this movie and it's not something you can easily forget. |
someguest
09.22.11 | it takes genital mutilation to realize nature is brutal |
AlonsoHarris
09.22.11 | watch Antichrist and then watch Caligula. and go fist a puppy |
someguest
09.22.11 | that's a good Alonso |
Yuma310
09.22.11 | Im going to pretend this list doesn't exsist because TKOL is not on it |
Hyperion1001
09.22.11 | The thing is Caligula was actually an awful movie that id recommend to no one. |

09.22.11 | its really bad |

Emim
09.22.11 | I don't like pro-islam movies normally, but that....that might be worth watching. |
someguest
09.22.11 | half the movie takes place in kenya
you know, where he was born |
Emim
09.22.11 | sweet. does he piss on his distant poverty-stricken family members? |
someguest
09.22.11 | well he makes his dad walk a tightrope but you never find out if he makes it or falls off |
tiesthatbind
09.22.11 | Nah he just sits around Biden his time |
Emim
09.22.11 | I'm pretty sure they buried Biden in a hole somewhere.
I think he fell off; Kenyans are runners, not gymnasts. |

09.22.11 | Speed 2? Was Keanu in it? |

09.22.11 | No, some random. Soccer mum Sandra is still in it |
BallsToTheWall
09.22.11 | WTF Sandra is in it but tan keanu isnt? I loved Speed 1 and that's like the last movie I saw Keanu with color in. |
Deviant.
09.22.11 | Don't bother watching it, unless you wanna see a boat destroy part of a city....... |

09.22.11 | I need another Steel Reserve. But man there should have been a Gary Oldman/Willem Dafoe movie in the 90's, both of these guys are fucking awesome. |

09.22.11 | movie is meh. tho i did enjoy seeing willem pork that lady while the kid fell out the window. made me lol |
chaseee
09.22.11 | A woman grabs a block of wood and crushes a man's testicles. The testicle crushing is not graphic. The man becomes unconscious. The woman then leans down and masturbates him and he ejaculates blood. The woman drills right through his leg with a manual drill, and inserts a metal rod with a grindstone on it.
and this
A woman gets a pair of scissors and cuts off her clitoris.
movie sounds like a winner |
Relinquished
09.22.11 | sounds hot |
americanmusicmachine
09.23.11 | @ Cipieron yeah that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my entire life. If you think of 'antichrist' as a really dark comedy it's a rather excellent movie.
but anyway I just came back from watchin' 'drive' and really I'd say skip antichrist and watch that instead. plus you get to see christina hendricks head explode! |
vmcoia91
09.23.11 | Drive was great, saw it opening weekend. Antichrist ended up being just okay. There was some beautiful shots and I love Charlotte but it's nothing I would sit through again. |
FrankRedHot
09.23.11 | I put Antichrist up there with the most overrated cult movies of all time, right up there with Donnie Darko. |
BallsToTheWall
09.23.11 | Lars Van Triers Nazi rant |
FrankRedHot
09.23.11 | I love Lars Von Trier and his really unique way of looking at film, but this was just too much. |
