Stuff you can't unwatch

[kedrys]

I just watched a movie trailer I wish I hadn't seen. No, I'm not telling you which one because it was that disturbing.

What's your current "wish I hadn't seen that" moment/item?

[MiddleFingerMom]

1. Near the end (I think) of "Nothing in Common"...

.
...with Tom Hanks as the son and Jackie Gleason as the father (1986),
there's a scene where Hanks sees Dad's bare foot. His dad didn't take
care of himself and (I believe) had diabetes and his foot was all
ulcerated and maybe gangrenous.
.
DISTURBING visual image that took me a long time to purge.
.

[kedrys]

5. Eek!

I didn't see that one, but it does sound icky.

[Orrex]

2. I'll bet that you watched the trailer for Human Centipede.

Am I right?

What do I win?

[kedrys]

6. Jeebus.

Yeah, that's the one. You win sleepless nights and creepy nightmares. Thank you for playing. :scared:

11. The Human Centipede Trailer [HQ]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wmTv2nqTHo

[charlie and algernon]

21. oh why the hell did i just watch that???

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :puke:

[pokerfan]

23. because if I'm going to have nightmares

everyone else might as well.

[charlie and algernon]

24. well we all are for equality here

good progressive liberals that we are.

[nickinSTL]

48. that's not likely to give me nightmares

(but then again, pretty much nothing does)

My thought watching it was...ok, this guy's just nuts, because the whole idea is just stupid.

The suspense of what they're going to do or how they'll survive (or not) might be worth it (on DVD, not in the theater), but what he's trying to do is absurd, and whoever thought it up should be ashamed of coming up with such a poor plot device.

[quakerboy]

55. Same here

Stupid, not disturbing.

[Orrex]

73. But didn't you read the tagline?

They say that it's "medically accurate."

:rofl:

[nickinSTL]

77. even if it were...which I doubt...

the premise is still stupid.

I get the mad scientist idea and all, but even the plans of a mad scientist should make some kind of sense - and this doesn't.

[Orrex]

78. You really don't get it. It's symbolic.

It's symbolic of...

Um.



Er...



Okay, it's just plain stupid.

[one_voice]

65. Damn..

why did I watch that..now I HAVE to know how it ends. :crazy:

[kedrys]

67. Apparently, there's two parts

"First Sequence", the one the trailer's for, and "Full Sequence", which the director from hell says is going to be much, much worse. :eyes:

[pokerfan]

68. I read the wiki

Yeah, the sequel is going to be like the first only multiplied by 4X. :shrug:

[one_voice]

70. So that would make

it a no popcorn movie..great x(

[Lil Missy]

3. goatse

[kedrys]

7. The graphic descriptions of it were, er, sufficiently graphic for me

Never had the urge to find out whether they were accurate. :scared:

[mcctatas]

12. OFFS!

I just have to see the word and I picture it all over again! BTW, did you see the goatse hoodie?

[Lil Missy]

14. *groan*

[Taitertots]

13. How is that pronounced?

Goat See or Goat Say.

Or is the E silent: Goats

[klm55500]

4. the end of nekromantik

[kedrys]

9. The short summary on IMDB looks unpleasant enough

Ick.

[Forkboy]

15. LOL

The sequel remade the scene in glorious color!

[mockmonkey]

17. heh

I've seen nekromantik many times and when I saw the trailer for The Human Centipede I thought "Oh, that's just too much."

Why that bothers me more, I have no idea.

[pokerfan]

8. Chris Matthews stuffing his face

[kedrys]

10. Although disgusting, I don't think I'm going to have nightmares about it

:rofl:

[Orrex]

16. What if he's the front 1/3 of a human centipede?

[AllenVanAllen]

36. Well how about this?

"Sweet dreams!"

[pitohui]

18. i could do without "requiem for a dream"

sorry if i misspell requiem

i'm not saying it's a bad movie, it's a good one, but i don't need to see the bit abt the guy getting his arm cut off...

[Shell Beau]

19. When I was younger, one of my friend's had Faces of Death (not sure which number)

I had no idea....

[Touchdown]

20. Michael Douglas' fugly bare ass in Basic Instinct.

:puke:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

31. That movie was a mistake all the way around...

beavers included.

[XemaSab]

22. "Eclipse?"

:P

[tango-tee]

25. A film made in 1940 in Germany, "Jud Süß".

A virulently anti-semitic film ordered to be made by the PTB at that time. I have never, ever been able to erase some of the scenes in my mind. Dear God, I only wish I hadn't seen them.

[tango-tee]

35. Once again showing my ignorance. What is "Goatse"?

[Texasgal]

27. A beheading in the MIddle east.

Daniel Pearl? I don't know, but I felt so dirty after watching it. It was horrible.

[MrMickeysMom]

33. Maybe you saw the same awful thing I did...

Not Pearl, but Nick Berg... the beheading of an unfortunate American civilian in Iraq.

May the word is "macabre", but I convinced myself that I HAD to watch it. I think to this day that that video was one attempt to get the American people to escalate the war.

How awful!

[hippywife]

44. I could not make myself watch that.

I still have not seen it. And I never will. The mere thought is too horrible. :cry:

[MrMickeysMom]

60. Absolutely damned right, hippywife...

I'd rather download your recipes and think of nurturing others... :-)

[GirlAfire]

54. Against my better judgment, I pressed the "play" button...

I said to myself, "No... don't watch it." But, just like with the video of the factory farms, I did. There is nothing comparable to it. I couldn't eat for a while.

[MrMickeysMom]

61. It's visceral ...

That's why I believe it was an idea to make us "escalate" when in fact, I think it had the opposite effect.

This is why I believe surviving members of the holocaust shout, "never again!"

[Initech]

28. 2 girls 1 cup

:scared: :puke:

[Dr. Strange]

74. Here you go:

[Soylent Brice]

80. +1

my wife, of all people, tricked me into watching that.

[nomorenomore08]

29. Most recently, the ending to "Mysterious Skin."

The turtle slicing (while alive and squirming) in "Cannibal Holocaust."

*That one scene* in "Irreversible."

The dead baby put in the oven in "Combat Shock."

The poor, poor kitty in "Men Behind the Sun."

The (unsimulated) vomit eating in "Audition."


As far as "real life" goes, there's always goatse, Juliana Wetmore (DON'T GOOGLE), various war photos, deformities, disfigurements, really enough horrible shit to make my head spin...

[LeftyMom]

30. Earthlings.

[GirlAfire]

56. Yeah, that was...

...tough to watch, but I wouldn't unwatch it because it's vital that I know these things.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

32. The scene in "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover"...

where the lover was force-fed pages of a book. Truly sickening.

[BlooInBloo]

34. Unbearable Length Of A Movie (aka "Unbearable Lightness Of Being").

[MiddleFingerMom]

37. I loved that book...

.
...and I loved the movie.
.
Now, of course, I don't remember much of it at all... other
than the ending (which I don't remember) just bowled me over.
.

[6000eliot]

38. In the Realm of the Senses

Don't watch it unless you have a strong stomach.

[NuttyFluffers]

45. cinematically beautiful film. subject matter, a bit much for the squeamish

i loved the lush use of color.

[Paladin]

64. Would You Believe I Found That Movie At A Neighborhood Blockbuster?

Years ago I was looking through the foreign film section at a Blockbuster in suburban Houston, and there was "In The Realm Of The Senses." I rented it (naturally), took it home and comfirmed that it was the film I'd read so much about over the years. I then had the pleasurable task of going back to that Blockbuster and informing the manager that the foreign film section featured a pornographic film---beautifully and artfully photographed, directed and acted---but X-rated pornographic, nonetheless. The manager took a look at it in the back room and came back out a few minutes later, his face ashen, mumbling his thanks to me. That's the last time I saw "Senses" at that store.......

[tango-tee]

39. Another one is a photo of one of Michael Vicks' tormented, bloodied dogs.

As hard as I try to forget them, there are images my mind can't get rid of.

[RandomThoughts]

40. The trick to self memory erasure, is not to think about it.

You have to be fast, but every time you do not think about something the dentrite connections deteriate.

Simply not talking about things on the news, makes them fade from memory.

And mentioning something often, strengthens how often a person thinks about something.

That is the principle behind the big lie. Also why when you stop worring about silly things that are not worth worring about, you start to see things more clearly, because you do not spend much thought on worry topics.



Mostly I try to avoid watching things I don't want to remember, but there is also closing off thought or going inner thought during the event to not see it, and keep it from imprinting. But still being able to think on the implications of such things.


But then again I can clear thought completly, no image or words if I want. But only because I worked on that for years. Although sometimes restarting thought is a bit tough. Hard to explain, might be what some do when meditating, I used it for focus on things like pool.

Edit: To explain that last part better, many times it is possible to live in your own thoughts, where your input is always overran by your thoughts, so everytime you see something, some thought is right there to tell you what it might mean. It is also possible to actually be aware of things and see things, by not thinking when you observe, but just trying to obsorb what you experiance. That is what I mean by clearing ones mind.

[woo me with science]

46. This is also why grief counseling after a trauma can actually be harmful.

People should have access to counseling if they aren't recovering on their own and really feel a need for it. But research is showing that automatically assuming people will benefit from talking about traumatic experiences is false. Pushing them to talk about traumatic experiences can actually strengthen the memory and the PTSD response.

In one study, people funnelled into grief therapy after a disaster actually had MORE PTSD symptoms a year later than those who just went home with their families.

[kayakjohnny]

41. I got about half way through and stopped.

I could tell it was going to bug me like the one with James Caan and the psycho woman.

But worse.

Seems those actors would be tormented after making such a horrendous thing.

[Ineeda]

42. Two particular scenes in Catch-22

even after 40 years, I'm horrified by those images.

[hippywife]

43. Other than embarrasing scenes from my earlier life

I would have to say the egg eating scenes in Cool Hand Luke. I love eggs but can't for my life imagine eating that many. I was feeling sick right along with him. :puke:

[chrisa]

47. That video from Chechnya.

Where the rebels had the Russian soldier pinned down, and then slit his throat. Also, the one where they were executing Russian soldiers by cutting their heads off one by one, and one of them tried to run away, only to be shot.

I'm not going to describe them in any more detail. I could, but just thinking about them is sickening. I think that videos like this are important to watch, though - especially for anybody who thinks war can be a good thing. However, I can't say that I wish I hadn't seen them. It was a sobering experience, and helped solidify my anti-war views.

[madinmaryland]

49. After seeing this, I really wanted to unwatch it...

[kedrys]

50. My eyes!!

Serves me right for scrolling all the way down. :rofl:

[MrMickeysMom]

62. no-no-no-no... I did not see that.

Burn that fucking flag, PLEASE

[woo me with science]

51. youtube video

of a screaming little goat being dragged off a cliff by a hawk.

[BlueIris]

52. The film "Equinox." nt

[bif]

53. The eyeball slicing scene in "La Chien Andelou"

Which you can see here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U03CfNYHOTg

[RagAss]

57. yes..."Dog" was step over the edge...way back then.

[KamaAina]

58. A South Park holiday special

replete with gory death and abortion (!) scenes. :puke:

[pokerfan]

63. Blood orgy!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodland_Critter_Christmas

[BlueIris]

66. The stem cell episode (2001) was the end of the line for me.

I also wish I could unsee a little South Park ep entitled "Fat Camp." ("I told you I was a tight virgin flower!")

[pokerfan]

69. Most people say the Scott Tenorman ep

Tears of unfathomable sadness...

[GoCubsGo]

71. The "Fat Camp" one was awful!

Never could watch the end of the episode where Butters gets a ninja star in his eye ("Good Times With Weapons.")

[RagAss]

59. The swearing in of G.W. Shrub !

[northzax]

72. Here's mine:

Lemonparty.org. Seriously nsfw. Or children. Or humans in general. It will make you scald your own eyes out with bleach. I'm not kidding. You have been warned.

Sadly, I wasn't warned.

[msanthrope]

76. That's an image I'll never get out.....n/t

[agentS]

75. Oh god, too much to mention.

1) Legend of the Overfiend. ANY of the movies is enough to ruin your mind forever. I couldn't get past #3. So much gore, so much crap voice acting, so much rape. Whomever made this was sick, really sick. It's from Japan and NO I won't tell you where to find it. It's not worth it, TRUST ME!!!
2) Embodiment of Evil (2008) the last of the "Coffin Joe" movies from Brazil. This movie is 7 ways from Sunday sick. There are no good guys, only bad guys (the weirdo self-spanking priest) and worse guys (the crooked cops) vs an amoral monster (who's a combination of Hannibal Lecter, Jigsaw, and Terrell Owens). Imagine a smartass guy who kills you with weird shit and brags about how good he is at killing and how much you suck. Oh and he has horrible nightmares.
3) This one movie from Japan with a guy who rubs women's bottoms on the subway. It's horrible times 10 and is like watching a screed from a rapist as to why rape is OK. I blame THIS MOVIE as the source of all the subway groping incidents.
4) Battlefield Earth. Pass the brain bleach, please!
5) The Core. What a waste of time.
