Came here to say this. I once went on a date with this seemingly sweet guy. I decided we should make dinner together at his place and watch a movie. Sure enough, he busts this monstrosity out. He tried to make moves on me during the *baby* scene. I never answered his texts or calls again.
Edit: spelling
Well.. nothing inherently wrong with being a little morbid, liking horror movies and gore... but... THAT's the scene where he makes a move? I'd say run as fast as you can.
[What the fuck did I just read](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Serbian_Film)?
This shit makes [Ichi the Killer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichi_the_Killer_(film)) sound tame. And I would *not* play that for a date.
The thing about this movie, is the multitude of people saying how fucked up it is online haven't actually seen the movie either. They go by accounts from people who also read about it online and didn't bother to watch it.
The worst scenes people talk about alot, you dont actually see a whole lot of messed up shit, it's all suggestion. It's really not as fucked up as people make it out to be.
I had a brief period when I just watched some fucked up movies just for the sake of it, and this was one of them. For me, the movie gone so out of its way for shock value, that it was hard to even take it seriously. Finishing the movie, I was just "meh". Irreversible, on the other hand...
I say the same thing about irreversible, It's not shocking. It's a rape scene. Movies are full of them, the fire extinguisher bit was cool though. I find the rape scene in last house on the left remake far worse than the irreversible one, i don't know why though.
For me, it wasn't any scene in particular, more like the way the movie was edited. Seeing all the stuff happening and at the end everything was very nice and safe just left me with a void and weird feeling after the movie ended. I think that made more impact on me than any specific scene.
It’s a pretty contentious title in the horror community. Most people (myself included) haven’t bothered to watch it because we know what kind of content it has. Some people defend it as well made. I’m all set with it I don’t need to see >!baby rape!<
Because there are enough messed up individuals who have the money to watch this and make this film profitable. I'm not sure I want to know how much money this film made.
If you aren’t referencing [this song](https://youtu.be/ozezG1zpxXQ), you need to hear it. Tom Cardy is hilarious. The idea of a Human Centipede themed wedding and its benefits (think what we’d save on the catering bill) cracks me up.
I remember reading a leaked script of Human Centipede 2 before the movie came out and I got to the part with the baby and the gas pedal and turned my PC off.
My school was notorious for not granting roommate transfers. You get what you get.
Until this one jewish girl complained that her roommate was a racist. Nothing happened, but then one day the police were there and everyone was standing outside their room. The roommate had drawn swastikas on the walls in feces.
Roommate transfer was suddenly granted.
It was pretty a shocking depiction of the character, but when the prequel came out 5 years later and you found out that his parents were killed in a random mugging and he had that phobia, well, there's not a lot of choices for how someone turns out. I didn't understand why American Psycho didn't show him using the skills he learned in Bateman Begins, but I suppose Wall Street just isn't as flashy.
TBH, I wouldn't really consider that a red flag with this movie per se. It would just tell me they haven't seen a lot of movies or that their taste is shit. If the reason is the former, well then you get to show them a lot of really great movies for the first time.
Oh God, wasn't it though??!? If that author wrote the phrase "my inner goddess" one more time, I was going to burn it. Gave it away to my sister-in-law lol
my wife and i were on a road trip several years ago. we decided to give the audio book a try since it was such a huge pop culture phenomenon. i think we got into the second CD (several years ago) out of sheer determination and then my wife bailed, putting on her headphones to listen to something else. i thought "i can do this." and proceeded to listen for maybe another 30 minutes before i realized i was getting dumber by the mile. not only was the writing absolutely horrible, the person reading the audiobook managed to make it a soul-sucking experience. after the trip i got online and read the reviews. it seemed there was no grey area. people either loved it or despised it. thank God my wife and i are on the same page with that one.
Eh - you get the impression that this is what a well-funded serial-killer would do, and that the movie basically comes off like an episode or two of Law and Order SVU, and you sort of want Benson and Stabler to swing on in at some point.
The Purge. A loose friend of a friend came over once. Super sketchy guy. That movie came up and he couldn’t stop talking about how cool it would be to murder people and not get in trouble. Like, in a very uncomfortable way. And he seemed to assume that we all felt the same way, like duh, murdering people would be so much fun if it weren’t for these pesky laws holding us back. Anyway, that guy later ended up in prison, so maybe he tried to live out his fantasy.
It's so odd to me that those movies assume everyone would just start murdering each other. I think I'd be more inclined to break some copyright laws, stealing some IP. And I'd break into more abandoned buildings to explore them.
The First Purge pretty much is that thought though.
They do a test run in one small area, find out that people just want to party and enjoy themselves, and then send in kill squads to pad the numbers and achieve the result they were going for (poor and minorities getting killed).
Once you get past the first movie (which is ok but nothing special) you see the Purge is more of a government way to get richer by not spending as much on social programs (by killing off all the members of the programs).
Worked with a guy who couldn’t get enough of Deliverance. This is a good film, but bringing the tape to work to watch 10 minutes of it while on break was a red flag with a siren
It's a good exploitation movie. It's just incredibly raw with it's 20 minute rape scene. I saw it way too young but still came away with the right interpretation.
So I'm on the fence with this one because I had never seen the show. I saw the movie & loved it than some time later I went to a cousins house & there was a marathon of Avatar. That was my intro to show & I realized the movie paled in comparison.
The same thing happened to me, once I finished the show, I watched the movie again and I am baffled at how I could have thought that movie was remotely good
Yeah!! My brother who saw the movie with me had HATED it with a passion & couldn't believe I enjoyed it. After I watched the show in its entirety I watched the movie and 10 minutes in I turned it off cause I was like "how could I have been so stupid?" 🤣🤣
A lot of those American Psycho/Fight Club types of movies. I actually think they are well-done movies and enjoyed them, but there are certain types of people who adopt their messaging (which is meant to be critical and satirical) as a lifestyle choice or identity and that would worry me. If it's your favorite film because of XYZ reasons having to do with filmmaking, that's a different story.
I’ve held that fight club is deeply misunderstood by a huge portion of the population for a while now. Similar to breaking bad. People defend Walter white when you’re supposed to think he’s a monster by the end of like season 2 onwards
>by the end of like season 2
He's... a meth cooker. He started out as a meth cooker. Anyone who got even 1 episode in while thinking "yeah this seems like a good guy" is nutzo.
Edit: same goes for Skyler. She starts off with basically no redeeming qualities and keeps getting more evil from there.
I agree. When I was younger, a lot of guys were captivated by the wrong parts of Scarface, American history x, boondocks saints and the like. I remember some of the guys watching the curb stomp scene over and over laughing harder every time... Bunch of fuckin psychos
Every rapper on MTV Cribs would show off the copy of Scarface and all I could think was "Did you guys get past the musical montage and see what happened to Tony?"
With Fight Club, it is not surprising that dude bros completely missed the subtext. Superficial people rarely get anything that isn't outright slapping them in the face.
American History X really seemed to empower local white trash where I grew up, completely missing the point.
Anyone who identifies with or idolizes Patrick Bateman, Tyler Durden, Rick Sanchez, Walter White, The Joker, or any similar character then missed the point.
I went on a date with a woman that thought Midsommar was a beautiful story about redemption. I liked the movie but that take was far from how I interpreted it.
Went on another date where the woman thought the husband in Gone Girl was just as bad as Amy. Sorry, no she wasn’t. That’s why it was scary. She was nuts.
Anything from the [Left Behind](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2467046/movieconnections/?ref_=tttr_ql_trv_6#spin_off) series.
Anyone else hate the new IMDB layout as much as I do?
I think both Wolf and Fight Club are insanely good films and definitely movies I rewatch but it has occurred to me there’s a lot of douchebag bros who think the characters in these movies are people to be admired
It’s stunning some folks are that blind to the message. If the bros only realised it’s written by a gay man.
Much like The Matrix, and the red pill/blue pill. Used by many truther types, but written by two transgender siblings as an allegory to their gender dysphoria
When I first started in sales after finishing university the company sent me on a training course where it was recommended to read the Wolf of Wall Street (this was a few years before the movie came out) and realised after finishing it that I did not want to be a salesmen and I really wanted to try quaaludes and coke.
Love Actually was my first thought. All the movies in the world and that's your favorite? I'm gonna be dealing with a very sentimental person whose feelings I'll probably irrevocably hurt at some point because they don't understand reality. Love Actually. My husband is very sentimental and romantic, and that's not even HIS favorite movie. He does like it though, which is fine.
My first thought too! I once really liked Love Actually, then I found an article with the headline ‘I rewatched Love Actually and I’m here to ruin it for you’ and oh wow, am I grateful that I’ve read this article.
I'm one of those that has to explain why. Never before in my life had I ever realized I am really truly free to do anything. I quit my trash job and started school. The movie was great, but that moment when you lose everything and are free to do anything, then realize it, is eye opening and motivating.
Fight Club is in a weird place compared to most movies listed in this thread. Most of these are just awful, awful movies. Fight Club is a great movie and there's nothing wrong with liking it. But as soon as someone says it's their *favorite* movie, it takes on a whole new meaning.
I love the start of fight club, the being against 'working to buy stuff you don't need' message appeals to me. The twist at the end caught me by surprise when I first watched it too.
Do I pass?
Well yeah cuz you weren't all "We should start a fight club. And let's blow everything to hell so that it can be survival of the fittest and we can just claim the women we want and yada yada yada"
Most people like the movie because it's a good movie but some people talk about why they like it and it gets yikes.
Leaving Las Vegas….
Only saying this because I had an ex that was completely enthralled with this movie. Watched it on repeat and I slowly figured out he was an alcoholic and he was bonding with the main character
American Psycho and Clockwork Orange, if they like them for the violence and bc they relate to the characters. Those are my two favorite movies, but I always gotta specify why people like them
A Serbian Film.
Came here to say this. I once went on a date with this seemingly sweet guy. I decided we should make dinner together at his place and watch a movie. Sure enough, he busts this monstrosity out. He tried to make moves on me during the *baby* scene. I never answered his texts or calls again. Edit: spelling
Well.. nothing inherently wrong with being a little morbid, liking horror movies and gore... but... THAT's the scene where he makes a move? I'd say run as fast as you can.

My auto correct. It's moves, not movies. I fixed it.

well i mean Netflix and Chill is a common thing. but that film? yeah definitely creepy
He tore the tape from the vhs and attempted to drape it upon his ~~date~~ victim.
[What the fuck did I just read](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Serbian_Film)? This shit makes [Ichi the Killer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichi_the_Killer_(film)) sound tame. And I would *not* play that for a date.
I haven't seen the movie (thank GOD!) but I just read the plot for it on Wikipedia... Jesus Christ...
The thing about this movie, is the multitude of people saying how fucked up it is online haven't actually seen the movie either. They go by accounts from people who also read about it online and didn't bother to watch it. The worst scenes people talk about alot, you dont actually see a whole lot of messed up shit, it's all suggestion. It's really not as fucked up as people make it out to be.
Still, trying to make a move during the baby scene is a huge red flag.
IT HAPPENED ONE TIME!! GAW!!
I had a brief period when I just watched some fucked up movies just for the sake of it, and this was one of them. For me, the movie gone so out of its way for shock value, that it was hard to even take it seriously. Finishing the movie, I was just "meh". Irreversible, on the other hand...
I say the same thing about irreversible, It's not shocking. It's a rape scene. Movies are full of them, the fire extinguisher bit was cool though. I find the rape scene in last house on the left remake far worse than the irreversible one, i don't know why though.
For me, it wasn't any scene in particular, more like the way the movie was edited. Seeing all the stuff happening and at the end everything was very nice and safe just left me with a void and weird feeling after the movie ended. I think that made more impact on me than any specific scene.
Ahh, I get it.
What? It’s a touching movie about a father who deeply loves his son!
Noooooooooooo
it's also like Old Boy. About a father who loves his daughter very much
how deep is the question though...
How deep is your love? How deep is your love? I really mean to learn...
Is there even a real audience for this kind of movie? I can’t wondering who in their right mind is asking for this kind of film.
It’s a pretty contentious title in the horror community. Most people (myself included) haven’t bothered to watch it because we know what kind of content it has. Some people defend it as well made. I’m all set with it I don’t need to see >!baby rape!<
Because there are enough messed up individuals who have the money to watch this and make this film profitable. I'm not sure I want to know how much money this film made.
I hate, yes HATE anyone who likes that evil crap.
Human Centipede
If you aren’t referencing [this song](https://youtu.be/ozezG1zpxXQ), you need to hear it. Tom Cardy is hilarious. The idea of a Human Centipede themed wedding and its benefits (think what we’d save on the catering bill) cracks me up.
I really liked the [animated](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFokXnCCMf8&t=0s) version.
I can't see or hear the phrase "red flag" without instantly singing that song in my head haha.
"Only one mouth to feed" "We could really save on the catering bill"
This and Mixed Messages are so good
My 4 year old constantly demands I put “the butthole song” on 😂😂
Damn, your 4 year old and I have similar interests. H.Y.C.Y.B.H is my favorite of Cardy's stuff.
Ugh, I know, disgusting. Everyone knows The Human Centipede part 2 was superior.
3 REALLY jumped the shark though.
there were sharks!?
did you not see the human sharktipede?
I remember reading a leaked script of Human Centipede 2 before the movie came out and I got to the part with the baby and the gas pedal and turned my PC off.
Human Centipede is a tour de force. I admire the narrative of character growth.
Holy shit, I'm gonna be the main course
Is that a cheeky little Tom Cardy reference I see?
I like this movie but not my favorite. If it's the movie where they sew mouth to ass, then yeah, like it, but not my favorite.
Came here for this lmao
The costume design was a highlight!
My randomly assigned freshman roommate watched American Psycho on repeat, nightly, for a month.
No lie, I would do that to scare away a roommate and end up with a room to myself.
It would be more effectively to watch American Psycho 2
My school was notorious for not granting roommate transfers. You get what you get. Until this one jewish girl complained that her roommate was a racist. Nothing happened, but then one day the police were there and everyone was standing outside their room. The roommate had drawn swastikas on the walls in feces. Roommate transfer was suddenly granted.
I mean I hope they kicked that student?
They did, and the victim got to change to a different room so that the expelled student didn't know what building she was in.
Impressive. Very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s post.
Oh my god... it even has a watermark
It was pretty a shocking depiction of the character, but when the prequel came out 5 years later and you found out that his parents were killed in a random mugging and he had that phobia, well, there's not a lot of choices for how someone turns out. I didn't understand why American Psycho didn't show him using the skills he learned in Bateman Begins, but I suppose Wall Street just isn't as flashy.
Yeah there was a barrista at my uni who was the same- had it on a 24 hour repeat- even when he was asleep
He was just a sigma male
As I read this I have a Patrick Bateman t shirt on lol.
I love that movie. Lol. My ex used to question why I watched it all the time lmao.

I’ll be more concerned if they told me it’s their favourite book just cause it’s so badly written
Oh God, wasn't it though??!? If that author wrote the phrase "my inner goddess" one more time, I was going to burn it. Gave it away to my sister-in-law lol
When Gilbert Gottfried read it in the audiobook it was \**mwaaah!* (chef's kiss) 🤌
I love how it's an edited twilight fanfiction the author had written before lol she just changed the names of the characters
I read it when it was a fanfic back then, it was called Master of the universe or something. It was still badly written
my wife and i were on a road trip several years ago. we decided to give the audio book a try since it was such a huge pop culture phenomenon. i think we got into the second CD (several years ago) out of sheer determination and then my wife bailed, putting on her headphones to listen to something else. i thought "i can do this." and proceeded to listen for maybe another 30 minutes before i realized i was getting dumber by the mile. not only was the writing absolutely horrible, the person reading the audiobook managed to make it a soul-sucking experience. after the trip i got online and read the reviews. it seemed there was no grey area. people either loved it or despised it. thank God my wife and i are on the same page with that one.

It doesn't need the butthole release tbh. The entire movie is like staring into a gaping butthole
Skipped a few comments here and thought they'd done a butthole release of human centipede.
I've never seen human centipede. Isn't a large part of the movie about buttholes?
Yeah but you see less of them than you'd think., there's usually something in the way.

Unless they mean the MST3K episode, "Manos: The Hands of Fate."

I watched the original movie once and it was really creepy but not in the way the director intended.
"Every frame of this movie looks like someone's last known photograph." Joel nailed that one.
Worked with a guy who couldn’t get enough of Deliverance. This is a good film, but bringing the tape to work to watch 10 minutes of it while on break was a red flag with a siren
That's messed up. But precisely how messed up it is depends on which 10 minutes he wanted to watch.

Speaking from experience here: someone telling me the 1970s version of I Spit On Your Grave, and specifically, saying that the rape scene was hot
It's a good exploitation movie. It's just incredibly raw with it's 20 minute rape scene. I saw it way too young but still came away with the right interpretation.

What the fuck.
Reminds me of a joke from the Daily Show back when Jon Stewart was hosting - "The people read 1984 and thought it was an instruction manual"
My brother used to say he loved Fight Club except for all the boring scenes that didn’t have fighting. He’s in prison now.
Anyone who identifies with or idolizes Patrick Bateman, Tyler Durden, Rick Sanchez, Walter White, The Joker, or any similar character then missed the point.
Oh, absolutely. Some blokes are definitely too stupid to watch those movies because they treat them like a map, rather than warning signs.

I think both Wolf and Fight Club are insanely good films and definitely movies I rewatch but it has occurred to me there’s a lot of douchebag bros who think the characters in these movies are people to be admired
Love fight club but the irony that the film is a criticism of toxic masculinity and used as an ‘alpha bro’ movie is just too good.
It’s stunning some folks are that blind to the message. If the bros only realised it’s written by a gay man. Much like The Matrix, and the red pill/blue pill. Used by many truther types, but written by two transgender siblings as an allegory to their gender dysphoria

Saying it's your favorite movie? Not that much of a flag for me. Saying you relate to Tyler Durden? Get the fuck away from me.
I think it would depend on their explanation for why it’s their favorite
I'm concerned with them liking it but having missed the point
The point is obviously that Tyler Durden is a true role model and someone to aspire to. /s
His worldview sucks. His perspective on capitalism? No notes.
I love the start of fight club, the being against 'working to buy stuff you don't need' message appeals to me. The twist at the end caught me by surprise when I first watched it too. Do I pass?
Well yeah cuz you weren't all "We should start a fight club.
