All of us most have some oppressed memories of movie scenes we rather not think about. And they don't necessarily have to be bloody or totally gross. For some awkward reason they might have disgusted us personally. Let's have a catharsis here and get rid of those "memorable" moments.


My "favorite" scene comes from George Orwell's 1984 where Big Brother pulls out a tooth barehandedly from the character played by John Hurt. Gross......

I agree with Ranier. It's a whole new genre out there called "Gorror" Movies like the Saw trilogy and Hostel. And a bunch more. The goal seems to be get as much gore and nastiness in the movie as possible.

The last three Star Wars movies. Strange I know, since I sat through Saving Privet Ryan with out getting ill, but I was almost ill when watching Star Wars. It really should have been rated R. The scene where Anakin (I don't think I'm spelling his name right) kills all of the kids, is sick.

I am still scarred from the image of Kathy Bates' full frontal nudity in About Schmidt. UGH.~shiver~

And the curb scene in American History X... My teeth hurt now, just thinking about it.

Not disgusting...or a movie, for that matter, but there's a scene in Red Dwarf where one of the characters is looking out a window of a prison cell and describing the execution of Winnie the Pooh.

Scarred me for life.

Amazing how they could do that with just dialogue and no visuals.

Yup John Q. - very good call on the curb thing. I'd heard about skinheads giving smilies before, but that was...yeesh, brutal. The thing about this gorror genre people are talking about is that it's far-fetched enough that it remains in the realm of the unreal. That one worked for precisely the opposite reason.

Changing tacks (dramatically). The wrassle-fight after Borat catches his buddy defiling the Baywatch magazine.

lol, holy crap that was a gross scene crunch. i forgot about that one.
how about when he shows the picture of his son (and all his "parts") to the etiquette lady.

Jan-31-2007 04:04

ewww i totally forgot about that too. That movie was unbelievable, but I couldn't watch that scene.

I walked out of the sixth sense. Yes, its true. Not even because of a particularly gory part, it was near the end when the girl was taking apart his fort thingie....UGH i still havent seen the end of it.

I spent most of Borat looking at the ceiling. Especially during the naked fight scene. Ugh! *shudders*

ewww! I totally forgot about the jackass 2 horse scene crunch. It was so hard not to throw up. I can't believe he did that. <gag>
