Because it needs to be said

It makes you tough. Let's face it. Who's tougher? The generation built on Dragonball Z, Power Rangers, Digimon, The Monday Night War's, Walker Texas Ranger, Jerry Springer and Cheaters? Or the generation built on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Adventure Time, Hannah Montana, Jersey Shore, WWE's PG era, CSI, Lost, American Idol, PETA and GLAAD?

Yeah, it's gruesome and the old saying of "curiosity killed the cat" is easy to apply, but I'd rather be really will informed and well versed on dangerous stuff than be totally oblivious to it. When war comes you'd better be ready to see heads literally rolling. When a nuclear holocaust comes you'd better be ready to see three-eyed heads rolling. When you see snakes on a plane, you'd better tired of them and have Samuel Jackson on speed dial.

Not to mention how well versed a few porn movies can make you when it comes to being creative in bed.
 
I don't buy that for a moment. So you desensitize yourself so that if something "absolutely horrible, violent and soul-shattering" happens to you, you can survive it as though it wasn't actually "absolutley horrible, violent and soul-shattering"? You'd be completely amoral and emotionless at that point — a state that I'd argue is impossible to ever reach, regardless of how often you subject yourself to watching the most deplorable things human beings can (and do) do.

Bad shit happens, this is a fact of life (you even admit it yourself). People kill other people; there's usually an inkling of an understandable motive behind it (e.g., this person betrayed me, this person makes my life less enjoyable, this person is rich, I'm not, I'll kill them and take their money) but then there are some that do it purely for the joy of killing. I don't see why this is a fact of life that we should gloss over. Why should you think less of someone just because it takes more than newsprint (i.e., it takes visual stimulation) to demonstrate just how fucked up the world is?

I can tell you right now that, for example, if I were brutally sodomized and left for dead, I'd have a much easier time eventually getting on with my life than someone who thought everything was supposed to be peaches and cream. By the way, this is in no way, shape, or form me condoning what had hypothetically happened to me; I'd think it wrong and seek justice just like anyone else would. I just wouldn't spend the rest of my life obsessing over the fact that this horrible thing happened to me.


I don't know you from a hole in the wall, but I'm inclined to believe that you watch these things because on whatever level you actually enjoy it, even if your enjoyment borders closely with pushing your own boundaries on what you can actually stomach. That's just a sick fascination, and there's something wrong with your mental state if you willingly put yourself through that when all the logical markers in your brain tell you to look away and to avoid it — assuming you're actually mentally stable to begin with.

If evolutionary psychology has any merit to it whatsoever, then this is just flat-out wrong. Why would my brain tell me to look away from something that I'd possibly look like after a pack of wild animals had just had their way with me? As I said before, these type of films acclimate us to the way life could potentially be for any of us.

Considering the latter are still children I would hope you could take them in a fight Killjoy.
 
Dramas. Action films can be entertaining, but excessive gore of any type is something I will avoid at all cost, be it a maniac with a chain saw cutting up college students or Rambo gutting 'the enemy' with a 12" bowie knife. That kind of overt brutality is not entertainment to me.

All right, you get some of the ol' green for being consistent in your beliefs. I do commend you for that (i.e., for disliking films that degrade human life but that don't do so in such a graphic and detailed manner as horror films).
 
Killjoy's the kind of guy who still wears his faded Woldpac shirt. I know all I need to about what kind of man he is.
 
Coco, when is your new compilation DVD coming out? I've been waiting to get my hands on that Garden of Eve recreation scene you've been bragging about.
 
Anyone saying they watch gory movies because it toughens them up is fucking ******ed, that is hands down the stupidest load of bullshit I have ever heard
Says the guy who can't protect a pregnant women. Not the man I'm going to take advice from about getting tough enough. Put the comics down and do some growing up. You're thirty.
 
After reading through the 'Most Gruesome Film' thread, not only am I appalled that anyone would champion a "film" for it's depicting the most disturbing or disgusting scene, but the fact some of you go out of your way to watch this kind of shit might actually be more disturbing than any of the actual scenes in these "films".

What the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you willingly want to see someone rape another human being, acted out or not? Why would you want to see animals get tortured and killed? Why would you want to watch decapitations, dismemberments, skinnings and depictions of brutality, torture and murder of any kind? This type of behavior is the type of thing societies (at least healthy ones) look to expunge, not glorify. This is why the death penalty exists, and why we have laws based on common moral codes of conduct.

I'm sorry if any of you are the type who watches this filth and are taking offense to this, but I would seriously question the morality and the mental state of anyone who even moderately finds this type of thing entertaining, or isn't utterly disgusted by the fact it even exists, let alone that anyone wants to watch it, be I out of some sick personal craving, morbid curiosity (which is something I'll never understand, obviously) or whatever the reason.

My stomach is turning having just read some of the vague reports a few of you posted in that thread. Had I actually witnessed any of it in person, I undoubtedly would have puked.

Thoroughly disgusted and shaken,
IDR

It's a movie, with a script. :shrug:

Christ not even Sully is capable of making such a fucking stupid post:disappointed:
 
I read comics and protect pregnant women every day. In fact I think they help give me the heroics.
I'm pretty sure that Justin once tried to stop a punch by using his laser vision. Sufficient to say that the woman the punch connected with had a miscarriage.
 
Wrong. I also delivered a baby today after using a jar and the skills I learned in Glass Ass to protect the mother from a raccoon.
 
Terribly ugly people should be forced to have mandatory plastic surgery so I no longer have to inconvenience myself to look at them
