On a related note, I was watching The Mist for the first time the other day and considered turning the color all the way down on my tv as intended but I was already halfway through. If I do watch it again I'll do that and fiddle with contrast if needed.

It's a really great suggestion for people who don't watch a lot of horror and have generic taste, you suggest it as a classic and they're gonna have a great time, kind like 50s b-movies blah blah blah

Texts after usually go

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

There were a number of movies I remember going to see in theaters only to come out feeling utterly wrecked. Repo Men was another one.

I think the movies that wrecked me the most when I saw them in theater was

The Mist
The Pianist
Life is Beautiful
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Marley & Me My Dog Skip

Nigga, don't fucking laugh at that last one, if you have or ever had a dog, watch that shit and tell me you're not gonna fucking be bawling your eyes out at the end.

See, I knew what I was going in for with LiB and The Pianist, so while still emotionally heavy, I didn’t get blindsided by it.

Haven’t seen the other two, but yeah, knowing how Marley and Me ends, I can’t blame anyone for feeling wrecked.

My Dog Skip burnt me so hard I refused to see Marley & Me when I learned what the "twist" was, and it legit just replaced the latter.

I've never seen M&M, I've seen MDS and the ending is just the worst tearjerker ever.

I mean I get it's sad when you lose a pet, but "we had to put our 14 year old dog to sleep" is not exactly the most shocking plot twist of all time.

The problem is the eventual death of a pet is a large part of what defines our relationships with them. Also, characters needs arcs in stories, and pups are pure creatures who are who they are almost fully from early on in life. Death is one of the only dramatic changes that can realistically happen to a dog :heart-empty:

George Carlin had a great bit about this: "Every time you get a pet, you're purchasing a small tragedy. Unless you're 80 years old and buying a sea turtle."

I loved him as a kid but as I got older and as he got nastier and more bitter I came to feel as you do. Still, his observational comedy, especially regarding language, remains very funny. It's when he got into insulting the audience that he got obnoxious, and in fact when he started directly mocking the crowd he got his ass fired from the MGM Grand Las Vegas.

But the tipping point for me was his golf bit. The golf bit was very funny, but part of it dinged golf for its racism. In the years after he started performing the bit, Tiger Woods became the biggest golfer in the world. When Carlin set down the golf bit in one of his books (can't remember if it was Brain Droppings or Napalm & Silly Putty), how did he incorporate Woods into it? By claiming Tiger Woods wasn't black. Motherfucker, whoever might get to determine who's black and who isn't, it sure isn't some Irish-Catholic cunt from Brooklyn.
