but did you like Hudson Hawk? That's the litmus test.

Hudson Hawk was horrible taken to new heights. I like it a lot!

Minerva: [sees her dog sniffing Hudson Hawk's crotch] Bad, Bunny! Bad!

Hudson Hawk: No, Bunny, you weren't that bad.

I still think backstrom is fantastic even though it's going to be cancelled.

The Americans

Holy hotel room scene. Nothing really outlandish other than that, some seeds planted for some big events though.

Snapp, crackle, pop. Did you get the shivers?

I cannot handle real-life medical anything. You vomit? I start to dry-heave. I hear snap crackle pop? I gag. So that scene...yeah.

My dad and I saw that in the theaters and loved it

It was...amusing. I like the song/timing thing. I kind of do that myself at times.

That's why God made >>. There's at least one scene in every Tarantino film where I say "NOPE NOPE NOPE" and grab the remote.

Meanwhile, Gotham's gotten itself into a bit of a cul-de-sac. Gordon is a very strong character despite the writing being uneven, sometimes excellent, sometimes falling into laziness, but Penguin has bloated to fill all available space, and the Fish/Bullock revelation was as awkward as it was ridiculous. The golden rule of fast-forwarding through all kids and women no longer cuts episodes in half, which is both good (others including production are seeing those portions as dreck) and bad (it's making me stay up later).

The only one I turn away from is the adrenaline shot in Pulp Fiction. However, the worst scene I can think of that I will NEVER watch again is the curb-stomp in American History X. *shudder*

I've never watched the Stuck in the Middle with You scene in Reservoir Dogs all the way through, and these days I just skip the entire scene.

That never bothered me. Dunno why. I actually do "the dance" whenever I hear that song.

Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

Stuck in the middle is the first one that came to mind, and I too don't care for it.

Odd bit of trivia: Madsen had trouble doing that scene, after the actor who played the cop ad-libbed "I have a child at home." Madsen had just become a father at the time.

In horror they talk about "separation," where you can tolerate or even enjoy a gore scene because you've switched from identifying with the characters as people to seeing them a movie props. Fulci and Argento movies have insanely high body counts with progressively more absurd and disgusting deaths, and that's the whole point -- the absurdity makes it comic rather than dramatic. Something related happens in war movies, where people hoot about rows of men being mowed down because they've been dehumanized as The Enemy.

My problem with SITMWY is I couldn't shake the humanness of the characters, so it was just appalling and depressing. Given who Tarantino is, I wasn't watching the scene "right," since he's all about the exploitation genre. It's on me, but I still won't watch it.

Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

So who watched NBC's The Americans clone? I decided to watch the first episode just to see, with already pre-determined opinion that it was total ripoff, and I actually ended up liking it well enough that I'm going to keep watching.

I guess since they didn't actually show it, I don't have a problem with it. Horrific? Sure. But not like watching that Americans scene.

Band Of Brothers:

Just finished Ep 9 (Why We Fight).

Um, yeah. JFC. Dusty room, lump in throat. And reinforces the fact I shall never watch Schindler's List. I just can't do it. This ep was tough enough to watch.

Schindler's List focuses on an entirely different type of concentration camp. While equally despicable, it's not filled with the living corpses that you see in BoB. SL focuses on a work camp, and yes there are Jews treated and killed with an inhumane great indifference, it's less gruesome than the display in BoB in sight.
