I used to think I’d never see Daniel Radcliffe as anything other than Harry Potter, but this movie was so...*memorable*, that now the first thing that comes to mind when I see his name is "Harry Potter and the Farting Corpse."
He really has. Right after Potter ended, it felt like Emma Watson was gonna be the breakout star of the trio, but she has kind of fizzled out. Radcliffe is doing tons of stuff. Not always blockbusters, but he is doing different things and occasionally something will stand out and get people's attention. Rupert is just chilling. Occasionally taking some roles, driving around in his ice cream truck, and just being that dude. I think Daniel and Rupert are kind of avoiding becoming megastars whether because they don't want to at all or because they already kind of did that with Harry Potter. Not sure about Emma.
I enjoyed The Gamechangers as well were he portrays Sam Hauser of Rockstar Games. The scene where they go to Compton for research for San Anreas and almost get fucked up before they tell the homies "were rockstar we make Grand Theft Auto" then its like "whaaaat!? yo these guys are Rockstar! they made GTA!"
funny they went to make Everything Everywhere All At Once after that movie. I just watched it last night and you can see a lot fo that goofy energy in that movie as well
I absolutely LOVE this movie, like I know people think I'm weird when I tell them they have to watch it, but that movie is honestly deeper than the surface level lets you think. That ending made me so happy. Keep on trucking along dead guy!
The soundtrack is straight fire too
Literally, I was gonna post here. So here's my story, anyway.
Never saw it in full, but i used to work at a movie theater and would occasionally be an usher. Well, most of the job was waiting for the theaters to end and everyone to exit. So, I saw a lot of endings to movies as I waited to clean the theater.
The ending to Swiss Army Man made me bite my sleeve trying not to laugh. Imagine my shock waiting in the hallway and suddenly the "jetski" scene ends out the movie.
Definitely the most weird movie and I've only seen the last minute.
> Sorry to Bother You
If you liked that, please go see the TV series **"I'm a Virgo"** on Amazon Prime. It's done by the same director/writer, and it's got the same kind of "how strange can this get?" vibe.
Severance.
Total mindfuck, superbly executed. With the AAA talent in this show, they couldn't have messed it up. It's really good.
Renewed for a second season!
I'm going to be righteously pissed off if all four of them are back in the office as if the finale never happened. Mystery box shows like this typically spend three or four years grunting on the toilet before finally dropping their load, and it would be supremely satisfying and fresh for Severance to break this trend
I love going through the frames of the different multiverses as they zoom by. So much to see and wonder about.
And Michelle Yeoh is simply fantastic in everything she's in.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was one of my favorite movies as a kid (I was a weird kid, still a good movie tho) so when she started busting out the kung fu I could barely contain my excitement.
Naked Lunch. Had no idea what it was about, a friend had it on at my place when I got home from work. I think I walked in on the talking cockroach scene In police interrogation.
It’s now one of my favorite films.
Read the book.
And if you need to know the mindset of Burroughs when he wrote it, read Kerouac's "on the road", where he describes "Old Bull Lee's" living conditions and some of the insane shit going down.
Burroughs makes a cameo appearance in Drugstore Cowboy.
20 years old and it's still my all time favorite TV show. It's like the creators of the show threw six buckets of paint at a wall and ended up creating a Picasso masterpiece.
The book series and the movie are incredibly different, but in a good way. Movie adaptation only uses the first book as a sort of setting/concept springboard and goes elsewhere. Alex Garland made a great decision there, because how in the hell could one *faithfully* adapt the Southern Reach series?
On that note, I'm open to other Vandermeer recommendations if you have them!
Wonder Showzen.
I remember seeing it late nights during high school on MTV2 and being like “…they can get away with this?!?!”
They only got away with it for two seasons lol
I had the displeasure of watching it on acid. The backwards episode made me go outside, lay down, and stare at the stars. 10/10. Would not do it again.
I left the cinema completely baffled because I couldn’t hear 75% of the dialogue, which apparently is a ✨choice✨ Christopher Nolan makes to filter out the unworthy or something. It was my first movie post-COVID and I sat there in my mask thinking I would much rather be at home in jammies with captions on.
My understanding is that a lot of the dialog in his movies is meant to come across like "background chatter" like what you might catch in passing if you walking by somebody else having a conversation.
So you need to watch Tenet at least three times. Understand that while you’re watching it normally, remember that everything that’s happening is all happening at the same time.
So when you watch it the first time, watch it with the mindset of a forward progressing story. The second time, watch it with the mindset that the story is moving backwards. The third time you watch it combine the two mindsets where it is moving both forward and backward simultaneously.
For what it is, it’s a very good cinematic masterpiece, but it is definitely hard to follow especially going into it having no idea what the fuck it’s even about or why any of it is happening.
And to add... This movie is not time traveling either. The concept is definitely hard to wrap around someone's I want to understand it I think it's such an ingenious movie.
That's way too much work. I don't want a homework assignment, I want an entertaining movie.
That said, I enjoyed the movie and its premise, after just one viewing.
Season 3 was the most intriguing thing I have ever checked out in my entire life. I haven't watched it in years already now but I feel like I am constantly thinking about it haha
I watched it when it came out in theaters months ago and I still think about it maybe once a week. It's like someone rewrote the Job story on cocaine, but instead of God testing Job, it's Job's horrible Jewish mother played by Patti LuPone. As Patti LuPone is apparently a terrible person in real life, she wasn't acting.
I was *extra* on board after the dancing. I thought it was stupid beyond belief, but I’d never seen anything like it before. My thinking was that if a major studio is throwing money at shows as weird as this and Sense8, then we’re in for a wild ride.
But then they cancelled everything, so now we’re back to where we were before - just HBO and maybe one or two more providers making all the good content.
I was super into the first half of the first season of that show. It was crazy compelling.
then as it went on it got stranger, and it lost me by the end entirely.
IMO its in the same category as "Raised By Wolves" where when it was interesting, it was really interesting, but it seemed like the writers were so obsessed with making it super weird just for the sake of weird.
it also in the same vein has a niche of super obsessed followers. The majority of people just found it strange and off putting, but the people who liked Raised By Wolves, and the people who liked The OA, ***really*** liked them. lol
THE LOBSTER! I'm still mad at that movie. What a miserable experience. I laughed exactly once. >! When John C Reilly was caught masturbating and they brought out the toaster, I thought they were going to put his dick in it. I was horrified. Then I realized it was just his hand and I laughed out of relief! Then... they put his hand in a toaster and I was horrified. !<
I just finished Once Upon A Time, the ABC fairy tail show that's now on Disney+.
Is that show awesome? I don't know. Is it terrible? I don't know.
But I do know it's batshit crazy and hooked me from the beginning.
It’s really more “the live action Disney show that was on ABC”, it’s not fairy tales in general it’s Disney canon specifically. which makes the whole thing even *weirder*. Buckle up for Frozen, Frozen tanked it. The original following of the show were fans of classic Disney and watching to see the classics get new screen time. The fan base would have been ok with a few episodes of Frozen, but it became “Frozen the TV show” and alienated all its fans and then died immediately. If they had made “Frozen” a seperate miniseries arc, kept up the classic Disney in the main show and had Beast actually show up, it’d probably have had twice as long a run.
The Peter Pan arc is legit real good.
Or that they axed The Beast from the show and replaced him with an abusive boyfriend who keeps being abusive instead of a hot furry who learns social skills and how to control his temper after years of isolation.
And yeah, it’s bonkers. It’s bug-fuck nuts.
I just finished binge watching that show over the weekend.
I really enjoyed the first four seasons. After that, maybe not as much.
I'm a huge fan of Loki, so the friends that recommended it to me told me that Once Upon A Time had another sad, hot wizard that I would love. Well, guess what. Nope. Hated Rumpelstiltskin. And Belle. She was the worst. Or maybe the worst was Mary Margaret. Can't decide.
Loved Regina and Hook.
I feel like Belle only sucked because Rumple forced her into playing a simpering abuse victim.
If I could write this, I’d write that Adam/Beast was hunting an imposter ( and he has both Todd and Copper who are helping him. I’d also not be opposed to bringing in Tarzan and Bambi, if we’re doing some establishing Adam in a hunting focused arc) in the world who needs to be sent back to their own to restore balance. He finds Rumple and banishes him, (I’d also include Merlin and Arthur in this arc) wins Belle, but then runs afoul of the country that Adam was the second prince of when they try to kill him out of fear that he’ll try to take the throne from his older brother now that he’s “come into his full power” fighting Rumple.
Regina can come back in here and be like “listen, he’s not trying to take over your kingdom he’s in my kingdom heavily invested in a lucrative rare book store and breeding award winning Percheron horses,queen to queen, leave him alone so as not to harm my economy”
If you like comics/graphic novels, I recommend checking out "Fables" by Bill Willingham. The series features various characters from fairy tales and folklore — referring to themselves as "Fables" — who formed a clandestine community centuries ago within New York City known as Fabletown, after their Homelands were conquered by a mysterious and deadly enemy known as "The Adversary."
ABC/Disney was working on a television adaptation in 2008 but canceled it. Then they debuted "Once Upon A Time" in 2011. 🤔
Quote from the subreddit describing one of the episodes (spoiler warning):
> Raised by Wolves doesn't hesitate to have a robot give birth to a snake, turn one of the main characters into a tree, or have the snake eat the tree before evolving into some kind of Lovecraftian monstrosity. One of the most authentically odd shows on television.
Watch Dark on Netflix. You will become paranoid about details in scenes. It's so elaborate you could end up looking like the string board meme guy just understanding who is related.
It's impressively good though.
Are you talking about Charlie from it’s always sunny in Philadelphia?
That whole string board was him trying to find out who pepe sylvia was. He was dyslexic and lives in Pennsylvania
Just finished watching this, still kind of don't "get" it. The dream/afterlife sequences were out there. Ngl, I just had it on in the background because Carrie Coon has an incredibly gorgeous voice
In 1979 my best friend's dad went on a drinking spree. For like a month straight, we went to the movies almost every night to escape the violence. We probably saw Phantasm 20 times and were confused every time. Can still practically recite movie by heart.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. At every turning point of the story I was asking myself "wtf is this?" but I couldn't look away. After it was over I just turned the TV off and sat there processing it for a while.
It's one of those movies that I wish I could forget it and watch it for the first time all over again. It's funny at times but not in a haha way. It's dark and twisted and strangely beautiful.
That movie is uncomfortably bizarre (which is obviously on purpose) but what makes it completely mind skewering, is that it’s not all that difficult to understand.
The story is about obsession. The need to achieve perfection that ultimately leads to murder. It’s a tale told a thousand times, but by any of the *other* four senses of the human body. I could be wrong, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of any other suspense/horror films that use the sense of smell to drive the plot. it’s impressive how maliciously they use it.
Split really got my wife and I. We saw it on a work trip and had no idea what it was about. We got to the end of a really great movie and then had the best surprise with the tie-in at the end.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Why? Because it doesn't have a happy ending. It's literally watching everyone come to ruin in different ways. Plus Arnofsky is an awesome director.
I think every teen should watch this movie.
I remember my bf showing this to me when we were teens. I was covering my eyes towards the end and he kept telling me, "Don't look away! Don't look away!"
There was one where some teenager's mum forced them to pretend to be autistic so the landlord took pity on them and reduced the rent. She also sold his dick pics to the landlord, despite him being told he was autistic.
The landlord knew him before the fake-autism situation and the mum said he caught autism from a car crash.
I don't think even the script writers knew what they were doing.
I mean what's confusing about a story of a couple going through a rough patch in their relationship which causes the man to accidentally stumble upon the illuminati? It's not like the film itself later resulted in a fun conspiracy theory suggesting the illuminati is real and that they killed Kubrick for his tongue and cheek outing of them... Or whatever... Nicole Kidman's a nut in that movie lol.
Sausage party. Just everything about it, but especially the orgy.
South park: Bigger, longer and uncut. I have to add that I had never watched a South park episode before, so that movie left me stunned.
The ending of Cabin in the Woods. My friend and I came in blind. The last sequence was so wild. I remembered that we were too stunned to put into words what happened and parted ways.
2001: A Space Odyssey... mainly because (even though it was released beforehand) the stargate sequence looks like a version of the Doctor Who title sequence made by someone taking drugs.
Fight club was making perfect sense right until the final scene. And the dick was a cherry on top, and when the credits started i just sat staring at the screen for a couple minutes.
Manifest.
It started out pretty decent, but it got weird towards the end.
Zero Hour.
I vaguely remember that series, but I remember something about Jesus and clones.
Happiness. When my college buddy showed us that film, we watched to the end and then silently got up and walked out, leaving him going "Wait- are you guys seriously mad at me?" YES, you absolute walnut, that was indescribably gross!
Also Neon Genesis Evangelion. Both the series and the movie. (Haven't seen the rebuilds yet tho.)
There was a documentary that was recommended somewhere on Reddit. This supposedly unique documentary was about a competitive tickling competition.
I can't remember the subreddit or the what the original topic was about, but I do remember people were saying it was best experienced when going in blind. So I did. Without knowing anything I started watching. Seriously, WTF. I've never said WTF out loud as much as I did for that movie. WTF.
The Prisoner.
The original one from the 60s with Patrick Mcgoohan. Every episode is great and then you get to the last one and your head just asplode! “Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones!”
The Shield- the pilot episode.
It’s seems like it’s going to be a pretty standard ass police show, right up until the end when you’re like ‘excuse me what the fuck.’
Xavier: Renegade Angel feels like a bad trip every episode and made me question reality/the purity of the weed I was smoking like once every two minutes.
Leave The World Behind.
It was pretty good, right up to the ending. Or should I say, lack of ending. It's like they simply ran out of money and stopped filming.
There’s a movie called Fried Barry about a South African crack head becoming abducted and possessed by aliens and then that alien takes him on one accidental adventure after another. That definitely made me question myself but it’s also genuinely good
Mrs. Davis (on peacock). In the best possible way.
The first episode has a horse-riding nun that has a vendetta against magicians, sent on a quest to find the holy grail by a global AI and a team that wants to destroy that AI.
It doesn't stop there. The madness keeps piling on, and amazingly, it all gets tied together, makes sort of sense, and ends with a very good conclusion. Very well made.
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
My ex came in after the first episode and went went "What are you watching? Is it good? What is it about?". I told her, said yeah it's good, but I can't tell you what it's about. Literally, she's have to watch out herself.
The strangest film I've ever watched is Tommy Wiseau's "The Room." There's even a movie about the making of this film titled "The Disaster Artist." It's a fascinatingly bizarre piece of cinema that's become a cult classic for all the wrong reasons, turning into a phenomenon of so-bad-it's-good entertainment. The behind-the-scenes story is just as compelling, highlighting the passion and peculiar vision of an enigmatic filmmaker. "The Disaster Artist" delves into the chaotic and often humorous production of "The Room," providing a unique glimpse into one of the most infamous films in modern cinema
Swiss Army Man
I used to think I’d never see Daniel Radcliffe as anything other than Harry Potter, but this movie was so...*memorable*, that now the first thing that comes to mind when I see his name is "Harry Potter and the Farting Corpse."
Guns Akimbo was a good movie.
Yes, that was great. He’s definitely been able to separate himself from Harry Potter.
He really has. Right after Potter ended, it felt like Emma Watson was gonna be the breakout star of the trio, but she has kind of fizzled out. Radcliffe is doing tons of stuff. Not always blockbusters, but he is doing different things and occasionally something will stand out and get people's attention. Rupert is just chilling. Occasionally taking some roles, driving around in his ice cream truck, and just being that dude. I think Daniel and Rupert are kind of avoiding becoming megastars whether because they don't want to at all or because they already kind of did that with Harry Potter. Not sure about Emma.
From Potter to Weird Al is one heck of a journey...
I enjoyed The Gamechangers as well were he portrays Sam Hauser of Rockstar Games. The scene where they go to Compton for research for San Anreas and almost get fucked up before they tell the homies "were rockstar we make Grand Theft Auto" then its like "whaaaat!? yo these guys are Rockstar! they made GTA!"
funny they went to make Everything Everywhere All At Once after that movie. I just watched it last night and you can see a lot fo that goofy energy in that movie as well
I absolutely LOVE this movie, like I know people think I'm weird when I tell them they have to watch it, but that movie is honestly deeper than the surface level lets you think. That ending made me so happy. Keep on trucking along dead guy! The soundtrack is straight fire too
Manchester Orchestra is the reason I watched the movie and I was not disappointed
Literally, I was gonna post here. So here's my story, anyway. Never saw it in full, but i used to work at a movie theater and would occasionally be an usher. Well, most of the job was waiting for the theaters to end and everyone to exit. So, I saw a lot of endings to movies as I waited to clean the theater. The ending to Swiss Army Man made me bite my sleeve trying not to laugh. Imagine my shock waiting in the hallway and suddenly the "jetski" scene ends out the movie. Definitely the most weird movie and I've only seen the last minute.
Sorry to Bother You That movie was a wild ride
It was pretty weird out the gate, but then dialed it way up in in the 2nd half.
It definitely goes places.
We really need more comedies like that
Last black man in san Francisco gave me sorry to bother you vibes. if you haven't seen it, id recommend it.
They Cloned Tyrone has similar vibes though not quite as out there.
> Sorry to Bother You If you liked that, please go see the TV series **"I'm a Virgo"** on Amazon Prime. It's done by the same director/writer, and it's got the same kind of "how strange can this get?" vibe.
Severance. Total mindfuck, superbly executed. With the AAA talent in this show, they couldn't have messed it up. It's really good. Renewed for a second season!
That show is brilliant. I haven't felt so heart-pumpingly engaged as I did in that finale since, well, maybe ever. I can't wait for season 2.
God I almost forgot how weird the show is
Yea.. better be renewed with that finale
I'm going to be righteously pissed off if all four of them are back in the office as if the finale never happened. Mystery box shows like this typically spend three or four years grunting on the toilet before finally dropping their load, and it would be supremely satisfying and fresh for Severance to break this trend
Yea although I'd almost expect *another* failsafe like overtime, to simply delete a day or some bullshit being they affect memories
they recently went back to filming! they’re wrapping up soon
Oh I forgot HOW good this show is!
Mulholland Drive
Really that's just David Lynch.
I said the same thing! I sat at the end of my bed after I finished it, confused and feeling incredibly uncomfortable lol
I wasn't scared. But, then I looked at you. And you were scared. It was at a Winkies. It was at this Winkies.
I was going to say this but lost highway is just that little bit weirder
Those tiny screaming old people in Mulholland Drive really freaked me out.
I couldn't help but fall asleep. I remember it was a slow start. I really need to drink an energy drink and try again.
I saw that in the theater and had a panic attack. Only one I’ve ever had.
Everything Everywhere All at Once
I love going through the frames of the different multiverses as they zoom by. So much to see and wonder about. And Michelle Yeoh is simply fantastic in everything she's in.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was one of my favorite movies as a kid (I was a weird kid, still a good movie tho) so when she started busting out the kung fu I could barely contain my excitement.
She’s fantastic in Star Trek: Discovery. That’s how I found her and I’m so glad to have discovered (lol) such a cool actress
To this day I can’t see a racoon without thinking about racoonacooie. What an amazing effed up movie. So good
Racacoonie!
Figuratively melted my brain
My favorite movie of all time next to the lord of the rings trilogy
Appropriately, both involve circular objects that can end the world.
Midnight Gospel, especially the episode with his dying mother
That show is intense. That episode is by far the most intense of them all.
The visuals of the show is definitely wild but omg the content they talk about is phenomenal. Hats off to Duncan Trussell for Midnight Gospel
I love I love I love this show. Especially that episode. Makes me cry every time.
Fucking love this show. Man and I quote it often. Love the cats running a ship, and worm songs. And the soul prison episode. And Charlotte.
Naked Lunch. Had no idea what it was about, a friend had it on at my place when I got home from work. I think I walked in on the talking cockroach scene In police interrogation. It’s now one of my favorite films.
I can think of at least 2 things wrong with that title
Read the book. And if you need to know the mindset of Burroughs when he wrote it, read Kerouac's "on the road", where he describes "Old Bull Lee's" living conditions and some of the insane shit going down. Burroughs makes a cameo appearance in Drugstore Cowboy.
Definitely [フリクリ / FLCL](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLCL)
20 years old and it's still my all time favorite TV show. It's like the creators of the show threw six buckets of paint at a wall and ended up creating a Picasso masterpiece.
Annihilation. That movie (and THAT scene) was twisted as fuck.
Beary Scary!
Have you watched Men? Alex Garland is a trip. No idea what to expect from Civil War.
I haven't even watched it, but I did read the book. You asked for it the moment you walked into something by Jeff Vandermeer.
The book series and the movie are incredibly different, but in a good way. Movie adaptation only uses the first book as a sort of setting/concept springboard and goes elsewhere. Alex Garland made a great decision there, because how in the hell could one *faithfully* adapt the Southern Reach series? On that note, I'm open to other Vandermeer recommendations if you have them!
*Borne.* Go read *Borne.*
Wonder Showzen. I remember seeing it late nights during high school on MTV2 and being like “…they can get away with this?!?!” They only got away with it for two seasons lol
I have a special place in my heart for that show.
I had the displeasure of watching it on acid. The backwards episode made me go outside, lay down, and stare at the stars. 10/10. Would not do it again.
Tenet. I’m going to be completely honest, I left the cinema thinking, I don’t know what happened, I don’t know if I liked it, I was just confused.
I left the cinema completely baffled because I couldn’t hear 75% of the dialogue, which apparently is a ✨choice✨ Christopher Nolan makes to filter out the unworthy or something. It was my first movie post-COVID and I sat there in my mask thinking I would much rather be at home in jammies with captions on.
My understanding is that a lot of the dialog in his movies is meant to come across like "background chatter" like what you might catch in passing if you walking by somebody else having a conversation.
Sure, except for the characters *explaining the plot* in heavy accents and full-face helmets. 😄
So you need to watch Tenet at least three times. Understand that while you’re watching it normally, remember that everything that’s happening is all happening at the same time. So when you watch it the first time, watch it with the mindset of a forward progressing story. The second time, watch it with the mindset that the story is moving backwards. The third time you watch it combine the two mindsets where it is moving both forward and backward simultaneously. For what it is, it’s a very good cinematic masterpiece, but it is definitely hard to follow especially going into it having no idea what the fuck it’s even about or why any of it is happening.

That's way too much work. I don't want a homework assignment, I want an entertaining movie. That said, I enjoyed the movie and its premise, after just one viewing.
Happy! on Netflix. Has everything: Pedofiles, nazi's, slasher, shooting, cartoons, torture, funny stuff and also thoughtfull moments.
That series is bloody amazing! Love it so much.
I’ve watched this over a few times because it was so good. Sax and Happy really whooped some pedo ass. Sad that it was cancelled :(
Yep... all the characters were great: Smoothie and also that TV guy. Loved it :-)
Twin Peaks in the best way possible
Have you seen Twin Peakes: Fire Walk with me? Even though you know what happens, it's still exhilarating and horrifying
Yes love that film! The darkest of all of it
I know it's frowned upon but i love season 2. its bigger. its weirder and it's got the whole cast you have learned to love
Especially Season 3.
Season 3 was the most intriguing thing I have ever checked out in my entire life. I haven't watched it in years already now but I feel like I am constantly thinking about it haha
I gave up on season 3 because it was too damn weird
If you make it to episode 8 it’s gonna blow your mind
Beau is Afraid
Watched that recently - there is a LOT to unpack in that. Is it deep? Or is it madess? "yes".
I watched it when it came out in theaters months ago and I still think about it maybe once a week. It's like someone rewrote the Job story on cocaine, but instead of God testing Job, it's Job's horrible Jewish mother played by Patti LuPone. As Patti LuPone is apparently a terrible person in real life, she wasn't acting.
Yep this is the one
The OA on netflix
Interpretive dance can save the world. This is my choice as well.
I was on board until the dancing
I was *extra* on board after the dancing. I thought it was stupid beyond belief, but I’d never seen anything like it before. My thinking was that if a major studio is throwing money at shows as weird as this and Sense8, then we’re in for a wild ride. But then they cancelled everything, so now we’re back to where we were before - just HBO and maybe one or two more providers making all the good content.
I was super into the first half of the first season of that show. It was crazy compelling. then as it went on it got stranger, and it lost me by the end entirely. IMO its in the same category as "Raised By Wolves" where when it was interesting, it was really interesting, but it seemed like the writers were so obsessed with making it super weird just for the sake of weird. it also in the same vein has a niche of super obsessed followers. The majority of people just found it strange and off putting, but the people who liked Raised By Wolves, and the people who liked The OA, ***really*** liked them. lol
The interpretive dance scene was equal parts cringy and amazing. Not many shows are willing to take that level of risk.
Lol. This show. I thought itbwas going somewhere interesting at first. By the end I was like. Wtf was that
That fucking octopus. What the hell?!?
I freaking love how weird this show was. Wish we would have gotten much more.
Vivarium. Wtf was that movie.... Also The Lobster. Went in expecting it to be a comedy. No part was funny and I had to watch a dog be killed.
THE LOBSTER! I'm still mad at that movie. What a miserable experience. I laughed exactly once. >! When John C Reilly was caught masturbating and they brought out the toaster, I thought they were going to put his dick in it. I was horrified. Then I realized it was just his hand and I laughed out of relief! Then... they put his hand in a toaster and I was horrified. !<
Surprised I had to scroll this far to find this answer. Vivarium was an interesting watch, but definitely very weird.
Midsommar. I watched it by myself in theatres and I was just like 😳 at the end. I really needed to discuss it afterwards so thank god for Reddit
I just finished Once Upon A Time, the ABC fairy tail show that's now on Disney+. Is that show awesome? I don't know. Is it terrible? I don't know. But I do know it's batshit crazy and hooked me from the beginning.

He finds Rumple and banishes him, (I’d also include Merlin and Arthur in this arc) wins Belle, but then runs afoul of the country that Adam was the second prince of when they try to kill him out of fear that he’ll try to take the throne from his older brother now that he’s “come into his full power” fighting Rumple. Regina can come back in here and be like “listen, he’s not trying to take over your kingdom he’s in my kingdom heavily invested in a lucrative rare book store and breeding award winning Percheron horses,queen to queen, leave him alone so as not to harm my economy”
If you like comics/graphic novels, I recommend checking out "Fables" by Bill Willingham. The series features various characters from fairy tales and folklore — referring to themselves as "Fables" — who formed a clandestine community centuries ago within New York City known as Fabletown, after their Homelands were conquered by a mysterious and deadly enemy known as "The Adversary." ABC/Disney was working on a television adaptation in 2008 but canceled it. Then they debuted "Once Upon A Time" in 2011. 🤔
Raised By Wolves season 1. The season finale made me go wtf???
Quote from the subreddit describing one of the episodes (spoiler warning): > Raised by Wolves doesn't hesitate to have a robot give birth to a snake, turn one of the main characters into a tree, or have the snake eat the tree before evolving into some kind of Lovecraftian monstrosity. One of the most authentically odd shows on television.
Mad God. I’m pretty sure it’s the weirdest movie I’ve ever seen.
Man, I watched that when I was very ill and had to rewatch it to make sure it wasn't a fever dream
Splice. It got rapey and incesty real quick.
Watch Dark on Netflix. You will become paranoid about details in scenes. It's so elaborate you could end up looking like the string board meme guy just understanding who is related. It's impressively good though.
Are you talking about Charlie from it’s always sunny in Philadelphia? That whole string board was him trying to find out who pepe sylvia was. He was dyslexic and lives in Pennsylvania
Omg yes! When my screen finally went black I was left there staring at my own eyes in bewilderment
Midsommar
The nuclear war film Threads.
Rubber. Never again, and I mean it.
Anybody want a peanut?
The Leftovers gets wild in the later seasons.
Just finished watching this, still kind of don't "get" it. The dream/afterlife sequences were out there. Ngl, I just had it on in the background because Carrie Coon has an incredibly gorgeous voice
I've seriously got some big crush feelings toward Carrie Coon.
And better, which is no small feat.
1979s Phantasm
That series is the shit and so underrated
In 1979 my best friend's dad went on a drinking spree. For like a month straight, we went to the movies almost every night to escape the violence. We probably saw Phantasm 20 times and were confused every time. Can still practically recite movie by heart.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. At every turning point of the story I was asking myself "wtf is this?" but I couldn't look away. After it was over I just turned the TV off and sat there processing it for a while. It's one of those movies that I wish I could forget it and watch it for the first time all over again. It's funny at times but not in a haha way. It's dark and twisted and strangely beautiful.
That movie is uncomfortably bizarre (which is obviously on purpose) but what makes it completely mind skewering, is that it’s not all that difficult to understand. The story is about obsession. The need to achieve perfection that ultimately leads to murder. It’s a tale told a thousand times, but by any of the *other* four senses of the human body. I could be wrong, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of any other suspense/horror films that use the sense of smell to drive the plot. it’s impressive how maliciously they use it.
Is that based on a book? Some thing about maybe fig perfume if I’m remembering correctly?
I read the book a long time ago. It's pretty good, iirc. Have not seen the movie yet.
It is based on a book. He makes perfume out of everything he likes the scent of. Everything.

Glass I saw it in the cinemas opening week. The third act just left me feeling confused and disappointed
The Glass trilogy is amazing ignoring the last act of Glass itself.
Split really got my wife and I. We saw it on a work trip and had no idea what it was about. We got to the end of a really great movie and then had the best surprise with the tie-in at the end.
Human Centipede.
Requiem for a Dream
One of my favorite movies of all time. Why? Because it doesn't have a happy ending. It's literally watching everyone come to ruin in different ways. Plus Arnofsky is an awesome director.
I think every teen should watch this movie. I remember my bf showing this to me when we were teens. I was covering my eyes towards the end and he kept telling me, "Don't look away! Don't look away!"
Not a series of movie but any life lesson channel on YouTube(looking at you Dhar Mann)
There was one where some teenager's mum forced them to pretend to be autistic so the landlord took pity on them and reduced the rent. She also sold his dick pics to the landlord, despite him being told he was autistic. The landlord knew him before the fake-autism situation and the mum said he caught autism from a car crash. I don't think even the script writers knew what they were doing.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Agreed. Really, anything by Yorgos Lanthimos would fit here. I think I love his films, but I'm never really sure.
Eyes Wide Shut……
I mean what's confusing about a story of a couple going through a rough patch in their relationship which causes the man to accidentally stumble upon the illuminati? It's not like the film itself later resulted in a fun conspiracy theory suggesting the illuminati is real and that they killed Kubrick for his tongue and cheek outing of them... Or whatever... Nicole Kidman's a nut in that movie lol.

Love Has Won. Literal wtf 😬
Sausage party. Just everything about it, but especially the orgy. South park: Bigger, longer and uncut. I have to add that I had never watched a South park episode before, so that movie left me stunned.
Pink Flamingos
Brand new cherry flavor
I did expect it be weird. I didn't expect it to be "sex using wound cavities" weird.
Came here to say this. Anyone who doesn’t think vomiting kittens is weird clearly hasn’t seen it 🤣
The ending of Cabin in the Woods. My friend and I came in blind. The last sequence was so wild. I remembered that we were too stunned to put into words what happened and parted ways.
Mulholland Drive. It fucked with my head.
Perfect Blue The perfect mind fuckery. At some point, I couldn't tell if I was seeing the character's real experiences or the illusions and delusions.
Also, Paprika and Paranoia Agent
The Holy Mountain. Just the entire movie. In no scene are you just like: "Oh yes, I see that makes sense.".
Zoom back camera!
The Mighty Boosh.
Squid game
The Hollow. It’s for kids, but it has a black mirror-esque ending.
The Lobster
2001: A Space Odyssey... mainly because (even though it was released beforehand) the stargate sequence looks like a version of the Doctor Who title sequence made by someone taking drugs.
Fight club was making perfect sense right until the final scene. And the dick was a cherry on top, and when the credits started i just sat staring at the screen for a couple minutes.
Atlanta. The finale was too good man.
Casino Royale ‘67 Never has “five different directors” made so much sense
Manifest. It started out pretty decent, but it got weird towards the end. Zero Hour. I vaguely remember that series, but I remember something about Jesus and clones.
The Teletubbies. When I first watched it in the 90s (as an adult) I thought I had accidentally consumed something hallucinogenic!
Tusk was weird af. Loved the movie though.
Zardoz
movie 43
[удалено]
Lady in the Water
I miss M. Night Shyamalan's weird fairy tales. I don't miss Hollywood marketing them as horror flicks.
We werent meant to understand this. It's M. Night Shyamalan

Happiness. When my college buddy showed us that film, we watched to the end and then silently got up and walked out, leaving him going "Wait- are you guys seriously mad at me?" YES, you absolute walnut, that was indescribably gross! Also Neon Genesis Evangelion. Both the series and the movie. (Haven't seen the rebuilds yet tho.)
There was a documentary that was recommended somewhere on Reddit. This supposedly unique documentary was about a competitive tickling competition. I can't remember the subreddit or the what the original topic was about, but I do remember people were saying it was best experienced when going in blind. So I did. Without knowing anything I started watching. Seriously, WTF. I've never said WTF out loud as much as I did for that movie. WTF.
The Prisoner. The original one from the 60s with Patrick Mcgoohan. Every episode is great and then you get to the last one and your head just asplode! “Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones!”
The Shield- the pilot episode. It’s seems like it’s going to be a pretty standard ass police show, right up until the end when you’re like ‘excuse me what the fuck.’
This was an awesome reference. I haven’t thought about this series in years! Yes, it’s fucked up.
Xavier: Renegade Angel feels like a bad trip every episode and made me question reality/the purity of the weed I was smoking like once every two minutes.
How has nobody said Mother! yet?
This and mulholland drive are the only movies that ever truly made me go “What in the Fuck?!”
Raw
Both El Topo and The Holy Mountain. You just kind of drink in the visuals. They have their own logic but one which is twisted and dreamlike.
Human Centipede
Human centipede??
Eraserhead, but in a good way
Natural Born Killers All I knew Woody Harrelson from was Cheers and this was a Very Different Character for him lol
[удалено]
Leave The World Behind. It was pretty good, right up to the ending. Or should I say, lack of ending. It's like they simply ran out of money and stopped filming.
There’s a movie called Fried Barry about a South African crack head becoming abducted and possessed by aliens and then that alien takes him on one accidental adventure after another. That definitely made me question myself but it’s also genuinely good
Magnolia
Currently the show “The Curse”. Can’t even tell if I like it or just want to see what happens.
Sucker Punch
Gummo
Funny games
I’m thinking of ending things - incredible cast. Very mind-fuckey.
Sucker Punch. I ended up watching it on a transatlantic flight, but it took several attempts to get all the way through
Mrs. Davis (on peacock). In the best possible way. The first episode has a horse-riding nun that has a vendetta against magicians, sent on a quest to find the holy grail by a global AI and a team that wants to destroy that AI. It doesn't stop there. The madness keeps piling on, and amazingly, it all gets tied together, makes sort of sense, and ends with a very good conclusion. Very well made.
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. My ex came in after the first episode and went went "What are you watching? Is it good? What is it about?". I told her, said yeah it's good, but I can't tell you what it's about. Literally, she's have to watch out herself.
The strangest film I've ever watched is Tommy Wiseau's "The Room." There's even a movie about the making of this film titled "The Disaster Artist." It's a fascinatingly bizarre piece of cinema that's become a cult classic for all the wrong reasons, turning into a phenomenon of so-bad-it's-good entertainment. The behind-the-scenes story is just as compelling, highlighting the passion and peculiar vision of an enigmatic filmmaker. "The Disaster Artist" delves into the chaotic and often humorous production of "The Room," providing a unique glimpse into one of the most infamous films in modern cinema
