The Bothersome Man

Interesting film, but irksome. I am not a fan of films that leave you hanging to speculate your own ideas about what it really is/means, I like being told

that said, the concept of the film is quite, again, interesting. a bland world where everything is perfect, no death, no pain, no emotion, no taste smell joy. Just an obsession over material posessions such as furniture and little much else, it was in french or norwegian I don't really know, was mostly paying attention to the subtitles. eitherway it was a surreal film but not a bad watch overall

7/10 for not telling me what that world was ;>

If that's the film I think it is, what the fuck. How on earth can anyone think a film like that is cool, that shit disgusts me.

Eh, it's just opinions. And a wise man once said:
"Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they all stink."

I'm not a fan of horror films anyway so I am biased, but sorry Spawngirl I can't see what any normal human being would find appealing about a film like last house on the left, fantasy/pretend or not. I heard the original is a lot worse but the entire concept is revolting.

I've never seen it. But if it's any worse than the 70's film The Wicker Man with Christopher Lee, it's gotta suck muchos huevos grandes.

The Wicker Man (starring Christopher Lee - 1973): 1/10

ok it seems I was /slightly/ misinformed, the remake isnt as bad as the old one by a long shot it seems, I stand by what I said for both films though, to fuck if I want to see scenes of tremendously sadistic violence towards females and rape. no thanks.

????

you play a game where pieces of brain fly in the air, and there are pools of blood with human entrails..
cries of horror and agony, machines for triturate living human beings while the Victims do blood gargles (and you can hear the sound )

You play a game where humans (with blood in the body and head) crawl asking: "kill me please"
You use grenades, railgun or rockets, and see how the pices of bloody meat fly through the air ...
and heard the desperate cries of horror and pain...

QUAKE 2

but you are impressed by the "tremendously sadistic violence" of The Last House On The Left (2009) movie, in a QUAKE 2 Forum, in a movies thread...???

well
thats new for me
every day you learn something

Hmm, interesting... I haven't seen either movie, but the site I typically go to first for reviews had the opposite take:

The Last House On The Left (1972)

Quote

An ugly, disturbing, passionately conceived cult favorite, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is much more complex (albeit crudely made) than its controversial reputation would suggest.
[...]
Expertly made on a tiny budget, this drive-in exploitation flick decisively transcends its genre. The extremely graphic violence is never played for thrills; indeed, Craven has said he wanted to resensitize Americans to the reality of violence in the wake of the Vietnam war. Craven--who would go on to polish his themes in the slicker THE HILLS HAVE EYES--never for a moment allows the viewer to sympathize with the killers, but he does provide a window of understanding into how seemingly senseless acts of violence occur.

vs.

The Last House On The Left (2009)

Quote

Krug and company are back in director Dennis Iliadis' remake of Wes Craven's seminal 1972 shocker, and the result is a glossy, engaging suspense film that jettisons much of its predecessor's sadism and subtext in favor of crowd-pleasing revenge violence. Most agree Craven's original is a flawed classic, and while Ilaidis' redo improves on the original in many ways (better acting, no bumbling cops), this Last House aims to get us cheering rather than wondering just where we went wrong as a society.
[...]
Yet despite some marked improvements over the original, at no point does this Last House even come close to working on as many levels as its notorious predecessor. Iliadis, Alleca, and Ellsworth are all competent craftsmen, they're just more interested in keeping us on the edge of our seats than thinking about the deeper issues that drive the action.
[...]
Decades from now, film textbooks will still be pondering the undeniable stopping power and disturbing subtext of the original Last House on the Left. The new Last House, on the other hand, will get little more than a passing mention in the chapter dedicated to the creatively devoid remake trend and the reasons we tend to seek comfort in the familiar rather than encouraging our best artists to break new ground like Craven did at the onset of his career.

Heh... anyway...

Sounds utterly enthralling. I wasn't all that intrigued before, but how can I resist sadistic violence and rape. YES PLEASE!

Just saw Waltz With Bashir (2008).

An animated film centering on the events of the first Isreali / Lebanon war, and the Sabra and Shatila massacre.

Based on the filmmaker's personal recollection as a soldier in the war, combined with interviews with other surviving soldiers and a journalist.

I thought it was done well, thought-provoking rather than sensationalistic. Talented animators, too (they said no rotoscoping was used.)
