What I want to know is why isn't the U.S. supporting the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? Someone get Glenn Beck on that.

BOOM, TOPICAL!

Raw sexuality - a jaded sense of ennui.

I'm with Zsasz. With super-speed you can accomplish pretty much anything. Flash ends up being maybe the most powerful one in the JLU.

I came across that exact instant in Tommy while channel flipping one night. Truly a what-the-fuck moment.

Well, when I say tame, I don't mean the act itself, or the way the actors play it, but rather that the camera "blinks." Plenty of movies since have zoomed right in on the mutilation to make sure viewers get an eyeful (the comments on this Q&A are full of examples). Of course some people might argue that not showing…

That moment where he goes to touch it and his gloves are covered in filth….

It's what the penis sees.

I still don't like the idea of hunting and killing wild animals though. But animals raised in captivity on specialty farms? Hey, butcher 'em.

Seconded.
I once bought a second-hand copy of the Encyclopedia of Serial Killers ("this would look cool on my shelf…") but after reading a few different cases I started to become obsessed with the quality of the locks on my door.

This story's been told a few times, but apparently Michael Madsen was so disturbed by that scene (he'd just had a kid) they could only film it once.
Seems kind of tame compared to some of the stuff that's come out since, doesn't it? Makes you wonder were things will be in another ten or twenty years.

It's the casualness of the cruelty in The Painted Bird that really gets to me. It's written with such a simple you-are-there immediacy that it becomes very easy to believe these are things someone actually witnessed.

It's like amaretto and cookie dough had a baby.

Never seen the movie (deliberately, because I'm a big Dune fan) but just the idea of heart plugs makes me naseous. That's pure David Lynch right there.

I saw Matrix Revolutions extremely drunk and snuck some tequila into the theatre for good measure. There where times when I had to put my head down because the whole screen was just a whirling blur of grey and brown. I assume the movie looks exactly the same sober.
