[caty]

that is described as disturbing---"Hostel".

I have always loved a good horror movie. Something suspenseful that puts me on the edge of my chair. Something scary enough to make me jump a little with surprise. Something that would make me hide my face behind my husband's shoulder with one eye still staring at the screen.

But, I don't want to be nauseated, disgusted, or disturbed by it. These new "disturbing" movies must me a republican thing.....

1. The "crawler" on my local news

this morning said that "Hostel" is the most disturbing movie ever made. That's a reason to go see it!!!!:sarcasm: :shrug:

[tjdee]

2. Exactly. People were taken out by paramedics? Let's see it!

I think these movies are basically made for teenage boys and middle aged guys. And young guys.

Basically, men.

edited to add that I've heard that yes indeed, people were removed from the theater by paramedics from this film, as it was THAT disturbing.

4. Call me a wimp----but

the ads that are running on T.V. are disturbing me.

[AllegroRondo]

3. Hitchcock had it right

you scare an audience more with what you dont show them, than with what you do.

[Kire]

5. Amen

long live Hitchcock, death to Abu Ghraib cinema!

[Shell Beau]

6. I've never even heard of it.

14. Thanks!

I'll probably go check it out. I love freaky scary movies. I'll close my eyes at the gory stuff!

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Fuck off with that "Republican" bullshit

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it has to be Republican.

[hobo_baggins]

8. i agree...i want to see hostel, and i take offense to that republican bull

shit....waaahhh, i don't like something, it must be republican.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. I'm just sick of people politicizing shit...

...that doesn't need to be politicized.

[Shell Beau]

11. All this does now is make me want to see it.

:o I love horror flicks.

[ghostsofgiants]

12. Me too...

Though I can't handle much gore. I'm ton between my love of horror and my fear of gore, haha.

[caty]

15. OMG....

it was just a little:sarcasm:

[ghostsofgiants]

16. Honestly...

I see so much of it that even jokingly, it pisses me off.

[caty]

17. Refresh my memory---

What's the name of this forum?....The "what?"Underground.com? Oh yea, the "Democratic"Underground.com. Sorry if my lingering anger over the last two "stealections" offends any one.:evilgrin:

[ghostsofgiants]

18. I can't stand politicization of shit that doesn't need to be politicized

[XemaSab]

10. I dunno

I've seen The Ring twice in the past three days and lemme tell ya, being totally creeped out 24-7 is AOK by me.

[caty]

19. It looks like "Hostel"

is going to make "The Ring" look pale in comparison as far as terror goes.

[Taverner]

20. Horror, by definition, is disturbing

hence the difference between Horror and Terror.

Hitchcock is terror

Tobe Hooper's original TCM was horror

[Yollam]

21. Republican or not, that movie looks nauseating.

I love a good scary movie, and can tolerate some gore, but I hate meaninglessly sadistic films, like "The Devil's Own", etc.

Also, I have pretty much hated every single piece of misanthropic shite that Quentin Tarantino's name has been attached to.

This is not a horror film, it's porn.

If you want to get off on it, that's your prerogative, but please don't try to pass this off as "horror".

[alarcojon]

22. The Tarantinoing of America continues

I don't think it's a "Republican thing," but I must confess to having no desire to see movies with this level of violence and gore. It seems he tries to outdo himself with each new movie.

To each his/her own, however.

[Orsino]

23. Those are just "fraternity pranks."

'S true. Rush said.

[alarcojon]

24. We Americans don't need any more desensitizing

to gore, death, and dismemberment.
