I actually requested to be put in the hall way when my class watched this movie because it traumatized me so badly. Fuck that movie, seriously. I definitely agree with Tyrannosaur and Boys Don't Cry. It's weird, I would call those two masterpieces in their own right, but I never want to see them again. I have to second M. Brown on AntiChrist. I wish I could un-see that movie.Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-65878657231374183042013-12-30T11:15:40.796-08:002013-12-30T11:15:40.796-08:00Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about :) ...Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about :) My actor friend Laurence made fun of me for crying at a Richard Gere movie, but I don't give a *BEEP* When Hachi waits, I cry.

I actually think the 'execution scene' my mother is referring to is the part where the Cajun Eduard Delicrioux (Michael Jeter) fries, in the longest and most brutal death scene ever (okay, maybe not, but still.) How can anybody watch that movie and not hate the abomination that is Percy?Sarah Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05791493920946066930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-61638584309067243792013-12-29T22:58:24.345-08:002013-12-29T22:58:24.345-08:00Whoa.

I've seen about half the...Whoa. Intense list. <br /><br />I've seen about half the list and am interested in seeing the others. I truly think the only thing I would never sit through again is AntiChrist. And maybe, The Impossible. I could barely handle either of those the first time. <br /><br />Your other contenders are interesting. The Green Mile and Trainspotting are two of my favorite films (released when I was beginning to genuinely love film). I have seen each countless times. The execution scene in TGM is particularly tough, and I'm usually in tears instantly, but MCD's performance is just so good.<br /><br />Oh, and I know I say this all the time...I will never watch Marley & Me ever again. I almost choked to death on my own tears. Noooooo way.<br /><br />Can I end with 'welcome back'?m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.com
