When entertainment makes you sick

[daft twat]

This can be a broad topic - gross violence, something hard to see like a rape scene, bad acting, shaky camera work, The Last Jedi, whatever.

Last night I watched an episode of the Americans where they had to fit a dead woman into a suitcase by breaking her limbs. I had to get up and walk around. It turned my stomach.

I had a pretty visceral reaction watching Todd Solondz's Palindromes, I was so mad at it

[run2death]

The rape scene in Rob Roy comes to mind.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Baez Largman

[run2death]

The ending of Magnolia. The soundtrack (I guess intentionally?) drowns out the dialogue.

[run2death]

Fake encores.

Either the crowd wants it or not. Don't leave the house lights down and your instruments out, then half-ass it after half the audience leaves.

That episode was rough.

That ep of Deadwood where Dan pulled that dude’s eye out.

Black Swan, too, though I can’t remember what it was. Toenails?

[Strat]

The arm cutting scene in 127 hours.

American History X curb stomp

[The Argonaut]

The scene on the road in Nocturnal Animals. The movie is so good, but when I tried to re-watch it recently I could not get through it, it hurt me

[Rangi Guy]

Bambi's mother getting shot

[E.H. Ruddock]

The basement scene in The Road

[Rangi Guy]

Pretty much all of Hostel

The basement scene in The Road

good one

I still shudder thinking about it.

[wease]

American History X curb stomp

This. I still get shivers just thinking about that.

[E.H. Ruddock]

The basement scene in The Road

good one

I still shudder thinking about it.

I might watch this again soon
