You know, movie scenes that just make you cringe or yell at the screen. Those scenes you just cant watch no matter how many times you've seen the movie. My Number one scene has to be: Swingers, when john favreau gets that girls number at the bar and then the same night he calls her. He leaves like 8 messages hahah. NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message. (beep) MIKE Hi, Nikki. This is Mike, again. I just called because it sounded like your machine might've cut me off before I gave you my number, and also to say sorry for calling so late, but you were still there when I left the Dresden, so I knew I'd get your machine. Anyway, my number is... (beep) Mike calls back right away. NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message. (beep) MIKE 213-555-4679. That's all. I just wanted to leave my number. I don't want you to think I'm weird, or desperate or something... (he regrets saying it immediately) ... I mean, you know, we should just hang out. That's it. No expectations. Just, you know, hang out. Bye. (beep) He hangs up. Beat. He dials. NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leaves a message. (beep) MIKE I just got out of a six-year relationship. Okay? That should help to explain why I'm acting so weird. It's not you. It's me. I just wanted to say that. Sorry. (pause) This is Mike. (beep) He dials again. There's no turning back. NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message. (beep) MIKE Hi, Nikki. This is Mike again. Could you just call me when you get in? I'll be up for awhile, and I'd just rather talk to you in person instead of trying to squeeze it all... (beep) He dials yet again. NIKKI (recorded) Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message. (beep) MIKE Hi, Nikki. Mike. I don't think this is working out. I think you're great, but maybe we should just take some time off from each other. It's not you, really. It's me. It's only been six months... NIKKI (Live, in person. she picks up the line) Mike? MIKE Nikki! Great! Did you just walk in, or were you listening all along? NIKKI (calmly) Don't call me ever again. MIKE Wow, I guess you were home... (click) But yeah.. that movie Amelie was full of scenes as well but Its in french so theres no point posting them.
Anything from SAW or SAW II.. Hands down. I felt sick, and its so bad you say to yourself "whoever the hell thought of this kind of stuff to put in a movie, should be monitored and kept track of on a day-to-day basis, with their mental health evaluated regularly." Its simply THAT disgusting and twisted.
When the police burned down the whole block where the MOVE headquarters was located. That was a very painful scene. Well, that joke fell flat. ------- Anyway, you all know that I consider William Shatner (PBUH) a modern giant in the field of progressing human civilization. However, I must say his sex scene in Big Bad Momma was very painful to watch. He kisses rather like how people who imitate him speak.
Alien 3, when the dog gets it. Also in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, when he drops that cartoon shoe into the vat of acid. Seriously stressed me out when I was a kid.
Any scene where someone's getting tortured, implied or shown. I hate sadistic behavior. Anything with Jar Jar Binks in it.
Speaking of painful phone calls, the Philip Seymour Hoffman / Lara Flynn Boyle call in Happiness is, um, graphic.
lol. I know, I know. Good point. Its almost like I couldnt possibly imagine what they would come up with next, so I simply HAD to go see it.
I watched Saw the other day. I want to see II just for curiosity's sake (I know it goes against my aversion to sadistict torture), but I have to squeeze in stuff like this. My wife absolutely refuses to watch this stuff. One movie I refuse to see is Hostel. It's all about torture. Fug that shat.
Winner. Lock the thread. That scene has colored my view of everything I've ever seen Kathy Bates in. She creeps me out now, even in Failure to Launch.
This is actually a big reason why I hated it. Every character in that movie is either stupid, deranged, hopelessly naive, or sadistic.
Same here. The movie seemed designed to appeal to mean-spirited cretins who needed to spend $10 to feel superior to upper-middle class twits. I mean, I can do that for free, who needs to pay a bad director to do that for you?
There are a few moments in the Squid and the Whale when the older son is talking to his girlfriend that make you yell "STOP TALKING!"
Yep. I'd like to have taken her pencil and stuck it in her eye and stuffed the writing pad lit in Jane Campion's butt. That's how much that so called movie annoyed me. It's only fair that I return in kind to the makers of the film a little of the pain they caused me. What a stupid movie.
