I thought it was cool but would see where it would be disturbing to some...the realism of how they copy some of the graphics of the arcade game (ie: the shooting of the zombies and the splatter of their heads when they get shot, etc)
True to myself....and you guys might laugh...but one part of Wargames disturbed me...the dinner scene that show the dad buttering up a RAW ear of corn and eating it....as if eating corn on the cob isn't disturbing enough to me since I dislike it SOOOO MUCH...I even like it less than I like the state of Oklahoma and seeing there's not much I like less than OK that says a lot.
Qouted for truth. Uwe boll sucks something awful. All of his movies are disturbing.....ly bad.SpoonyBard (post: 1212660) wrote:I wouldn't laugh at the second bit, but House of the Dead? Really? The most disturbing part of that movie was the dialogue.
Hero: You did all this so you could be immortal. Why?
Villain: To live forever.
Uwe Boll is the 21st century's Ed Wood.
I'm sorry if my remark offended you. My joke was mainly directed at the Barbie franchise in general and the kind of Twilight Zone existential terror it brings as one comtemplates "What if the world really was like advertisers promised it would be if one used their products?" The producers of the Barbie films, however, were smart enough to station their plots in the realm of fairy tales, which are questionable on this or that point, but hardly take place in a consumerist utopia. I can't really vouch for or against the Barbie movies. At any rate, for people our age, watching this sort of thing functions as a vehicle to return to memories of when we were really young. It helps to learn to be thick-skinned against criticism by outsiders who don't understand.the_wolfs_howl (post: 1211201) wrote:*sigh* And here I stand, once again the only person who actually enjoys Barbie movies. My favorite one is Magic of Pegasus, not like anyone cares.
Ah, there's Werner Herzog again. Herzog is a master of psychologically haunting and disturbing visual imagery.This was definitely the case in his movie Nosferatu The Vampyre, which I mentioned earlier in this thread.bigsleepj wrote:Most disturbing movie I've seen was Aguirre: The Wrath of God. There's this scene with monkeys. Its just disturbing, even though its not gross and anything. Its just visually unsettling.
