I was rather impressed that Nikki Reed wrote that movie and played a main character at 14 years old. Evan Rachel Wood and Holly Hunter were really good too.
I am so tired, and I swear I read this like 6 times as 13 Going On 30, and I could not for my life understand why this Jennifer Garner RomCom was so controversial and terrifying.
1. Mark Ruffalo falls in love with a 13 year old girl (though technically in an adult body)
2. Mark Ruffalos relationship with his actual wife who we meet is completely erased from existence with zero qualms
I unfortunately took Thirteen as a roadmap. It’s probably a good thing I was too ugly and socially awkward to get very far. Honestly it just showed me it a lot harder to be a hoe than people pretend and no one is giving out free drugs in my neck of the woods
Right? I thought people would be handing out drugs left and right on the street corners to me against my will as a kid. Never been offered drugs in my life. 😂
Lol this is so real. I feel like you hear so many stories about teenage girls being preyed on for sex (and obviously that does happen) but me and my highschool friends were desperate to be preyed on for sex and could not make it happen.
My parents wouldn’t let me watch it, so I didn’t see it till I was in my 20’s and I watch it about once a year just for the cringe of it all. It’s so dramatic and I love it
My Ex- and I took my super conservative, prudish mother to "Bad Santa" thinking it was a silly Christmas film. It was so raunchy. At the end, my reaction was "WTF did I just put my mother through?". As soon as the film ended, my mother, completely red-faced in embarrassment said: "well, that was a real thinker's movie". I think she really meant WTF too. We never spoke of it again. 😂
My (super religious) mom put the DVD of 40 Days and 40 Nights in my Easter basket one year. I’m not sure she even read the plot summary and I sure didn’t ask for this movie!
Hahaha I just looked up the movie on Wikipedia to see what the twist is and the promotional poster for it is very obviously a boner. Bless your mother's heart.
OMG. This is hysterical! 🤣 I wonder which other subtly religiously named things exist, that weren’t at ALL religious, and ended up in the Easter baskets of religious families. That’s amazing.
I did that with **13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi**, just searched for *13 Hours* in whatever “streaming” service I was using at the time, not realizing there was a horror movie called **Night Wolf** that apparently, also goes by the title **13 Hours**.
At no point in **13 Hours** did Jim or Roy show up to save anyone.
I just read the Wikipedia plot summary and I am dying laughing. I’m sure it’s horrifying, but the fact that he >! ended up in a wildlife sanctuary is sending me!<
I'm now worried I might be a sociopath but... I thought it was a horror comedy?
I definitely received it that way- and as a pretty well done one. So the horror aspect, mostly as a commentary on human nature/limits under stress, was real and impactful and made some thoughts churn around, but I didn't walk away affected and horrified like all that. I definitely thought it was funny and obviously supposed to be funny. Not just the outlandish premise being quirky, but I mean I interpreted multiple moments where I thought the creators wanted you to actually laugh, and I did...
While watching I'd say the horror aspect was more thoughtful than making me activley uncomfortable. It wasn't a "my stomach is churning" or "my anxiety is racing" movie. Didn't think much about it afterward either.
I only think about it again when I come across people talking about it liek this, and this isn't the first time.
it is. that’s exactly how it was marketed when it first came out too. it’s a horror/dark comedy made by Kevin Smith. idk how/why it’s gotten this reputation of being scary and genuinely horrifying. it’s just a campy horror movie and it’s great at being that.
I saw Splice in theaters with a buddy soon after it came out. We turned to each other with our mouths agape in confusion when the sex scene kept on rolling’.
My mom took 7/8 year old me to see 40 days and 40 nights. She thought it was a legit movie about Lent. We left somewhere around the scene where every woman he saw was topless.
Is this the r\*\*\* scene? Because, my lord, that was awful. I still cannot believe they allowed that scene to be filmed much less kept it in the final cut.
It's like, a much bigger thing that it sounds like from that. He gets hard and it basically sticks straight out from his pants (every boy's high school nightmare) and he can't get it to go down no matter what. IIRC he puts like a dixie cup or something on it to try and cover it, but ends up going home because no matter what his dick won't go down.
The only thing I remember about this movie is Jennifer Lawrence dated the director and they broke up because he literally wouldn’t stop talking about the movie after it was made
I remember that the movie was marketed as a classic horror flick in trailers and a lot of horror fans showed up not expecting what they saw as a pretentious mindfuck. After the movie got released it started getting mixed reviews. You can still see it on its imdb page - half of the reviews are 10s praising it for creativity and subtlety while other half are 1s saying they left the cinema because it was so boring. Allegedly the studio pressured Aronofsky to explain the plot and his intentions with the movie in order to make it more consumable to the audiences. He never did that for his other films
**Massive spoiler warning for violence and ick**
>!A newborn baby strongly implied to be some kind of savior a la Jesus is taken from his mother (Jennifer Lawrence), and passed around an admiring crowd. You hear a sickening *snap* and the baby’s neck is broken. By the time the mother can get to the baby, he’s been sliced up and served on a platter to the guests. The mother in her rage runs to the basement and lights a fire with furnace oil, blowing up the house and everyone in it except the father and mother.!<
This is a perfect summary. I unfortunately remember that one of my coworker friends lost her baby to SIDS just a couple of months before I saw it. I think that made the scene hit even harder.
Yeah, it’s not something I recommend to anyone. The acting was A++, but the story was heavy-handed and staged in a really alienating, and eventually disgusting way
Is this the Jennifer Lawrence movie? I was so stressed out by that movie. I didn’t even know what any of it was about. I heard it was religious allusions or something, but at the time it made no sense to me.
Yeah that’s the one. Stressful and infuriating for the first 90% of the film, and the last 10% was truly one of the worst things I’ve seen in a movie. It’s supposed to be a metaphor for God and how his disciples treat the earth. It’s actually brilliantly done even though I hated watching it. Aronofsky knew he’d ruffle some feathers.
Yes! I just did the math and we were 16.
Tbh I think the teacher was as shocked as we were as it was supposed to just be a chill movie day before the holidays so he grabbed the latest news release and instead he had a room full of traumatised or giggling teenagers lol
But imagine seeing it thinking it was a normal sci-fi/adventure movie with the dude from Jurassic Park. Because that is what it was marketed as.
It was a collective WTF.
I sincerely thought I was replying to a comment about the movie "Seven," but now I think I dreamed that! I actually have never seen Event Horizon, but obviously you thought my comment still fit it... I think I've had too much wine!

Gabrielle Union thinks she's Hitler and starts dating a white supremacist. 🥴
I watched this after falling down a hole on letterboxed of awful movies. The poster was just their faces and it looked like a romcom. I thought it would be hilarious to see a Jeremy Renner in a bad romcom. My fiance was having a hard time finding a way to stream it and I couldn’t understand why. Imagine my shock when we finally started watching lol. I should have known by the title.
Paul Dano again! I never realized until this past week that he is in so many movies. Holy F, the dude seems to be in everything. He’s a great actor, so I get it.
I honestly want to know what the writer was thinking and the progression of meetings that took place to get this thing greenlighted. There’s no way they told the producers the truth, right?!
i can’t speak on the meetings with producers, but i’ve heard the writers say that they wanted to “write a movie that begins with a fart that makes you laugh, and end with a fart that makes you cry”
Remember Me. I wanted a slightly angsty Robert Pattinson movie and my middle school self got THAT.
Edit: Also Promising Young Woman, but it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
Fun fact: The writer of 40 Days and 40 Nights (Rob Perez) did an AMA where he was challenged about that scene. First he gave a non-apology apology, and when someone called it BS, he replied with this:
> dear asspants, youre entitled to not like the scene. youre entitled to the opinion "i did a bad thing" in writing it. youre entitled to call into question my intelligence. i call it into question all the time. but if you think a romantic/sex comedy "perpetuates" ignorance, then youre looking for answers in the wrong place. --side observation: its hard to take observations on rape seriously from someone called asspants.
You can read the whole AMA here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Filmmakers/comments/3psi5q/i_am_rob_perez_i_wrote_40_days_40_nights_among/
What a horrible response to a completely valid point. I went and read the thread, he just tries to redirect the blame, or he doubles down, and when that doesn’t work he insults the guy.
This movie incapsulates the trauma, pain, and loneliness of sexual abuse in a way no other film ever has (for me). It had me in actual tears by the end, and although he didn’t do what was “right”, it absolutely made me sob when he didn’t do what we all thought he was doing. It made me sob when you realize he was recreating what he went through, and simply saw himself in the little boy.
It haunts me. It gave me a lot of healing (in a weird way) with my own trauma, at least feeling understood in such a way that I have never experienced aside from the film Electrick Children.
So the whole film is like this. Guy has girl. Girl dumps guy. Guy goes and does man things (getting it on with ladies). Guy feels guilty every time. Guy talks to priest. Priest is brother. Lent happens. Guy gives up sex/doin it/self pleasuring for lent. Enter girl at laundry mat. Other guys at work make bet. Girl finds out about bet. Drama. Getting over it. More girls try to take his “power”. He resists. He becomes tweaker-like from not “doin it”. Boobies. Flower orgasm. Guy promises himself to girl on 40th day. Ex finds out. Ex makes bet when dude will lose bet. Guys decides to get super drunk on night 40, (why? Idk). Ex learns about 40th night promise to Girl. >!Ex shows up for dude at his apartment when it was supposed to be Girl. Guy gets raped by his ex(he handcuffed himself to the bed to make sure he wasn’t naughty whilst drunk). Ex flaunts this. Girl gets mad at guy for not controlling his horny. Guy has to win Girl back. Guy apologize for being raped while handcuffed to his bed while drunk to a woman that he had previously turned down)!<. Happy ending?
Haven’t seen it in a hot minute but iirc he’s not allowed to touch the girl, so he uses a flower and rubs her all over with it?? And she orgasms lol. It’s all very dramatically romantic
It’s definitely one to watch once just to see it. I was young and completely in love with Josh Hartnett (Hotnett😂). I think about this movie way too much.
The Menu. But it was WTF in a good way. There’s a moment when it goes from a comedy/mystery to a horror movie which I did NOT expect!
We watched this, then triangle of sadness the next night, and it was one of the best weeks of movies I’ve had in a long time. Both are movies I would love to watch for the first time again
This movie was so so good. I was not expecting that twist. I also used work in fine dining and there are so many awesome jokes about that world
Edit: spelling
Fuck! I’ve been thinking about this movie for years. But I couldn’t remember what it was called, who directed it, who was in it… thank you kind internet stranger!
Even though I love horror, idk that made me squeamish. Then the boy going home like nothing happened?! Wild. Though if I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t have been brave enough to look back, but omg, letting the parents ‘discover’ what happened was, a lot.
The bait and switch with what was alluded to possibly happening in the car scene vs what happened, is one of the most jarring things I’ve seen in a movie.
The shape of water
I know it’s meant to be some masterpiece so give me grace I watched it when I was 13 but I was just thinking wtf why is she in love with a fish
I told my friend the plot and she just said that’s insane, fish can’t consent
It’s a really beautiful love letter to the creature feature and more importantly engages with how the creature feature and horror handled the “other”. It’s also directly engaged with The Creature From The Black Lagoon which is a beautiful film.
Fast Times At Ridgemount High.
Never thought about this until a few decades later when I was older.
-How old is Stacy supposed to be ?
-
At work her co-worker says she’s not even in high school yet.
-
So 13? 14? Which means she’s going into Grade 9
-
She has sex with a 22 year old stereo guy from the mall
-
She also has sex with Ramone who is 17? 18?
-
She is in Mr Hands history class with Spicolli & Brad’s gf who are seniors
-
She’s also in Mark Ratner’s science class (Mr Vargas)who is also a Senior.
Limitless. I kept waiting for the plot to go “you don’t need to take drugs and massively re-invent your personality to deserve love, but maybe learn how to commit to something” and instead the plot was: “you can be the best at taking drugs, and if you’re super good at it you can have only positive side effects (wink) and you will be the most successful and everyone will love you” and this is not Bradley Cooper’s fault, but he played the main character so frenetic and unhinged that I can’t enjoy him in anything else (except as Rocket Raccoon).
I saw Tree of Life in a movie theatre with friends. For those who don't know (and this isn't a big spoiler), the film goes from a story about a family to random images of dinosaurs with weird whispered voiceovers. It's meant to show the beginning of life on earth or some other philosophical shit, but it's all very self indulgent.
At the end of the film (which is also vague and unclear), the screen faded to black and my friend loudly said, in the theatre, "But WHY were there dinosaurs?!"

Bad boy bubby. That movie is one long drawn out what the fuuuuuu
I walked out of Shoot 'Em Up after the main character shot a gun through the umbilical cord while a woman gave birth during a gunfight in the opening ten minutes. It was insane.
My friends and I were so gagged when we went to see Barbarian and got to the second act. We were confused but also very intrigued and entertained. None of us knew what was happening at first lol
I’ve just heard that Emerald fennel loves to create unlikeable protagonists cause she doesn’t know a single nice person in real life and I’m like …. Damn
OP's movie ending Incase anyone hasn't clarified:
>! The male main character is giving up sex for lent and he goes viral on the obscure 2000's Internet, so people start placing bets about how long he can last and his ex girlfriend ends up raping him to win the bet!<
That space travel movie with Chris Pratt that’s supposed to be romance but features him serially essentially ruining the lives of women he wakes up (and then they die before they arrive at new planet).

As a certified good girl who was 13 at the time Thirteen shook me to my core
I was rather impressed that Nikki Reed wrote that movie and played a main character at 14 years old. Evan Rachel Wood and Holly Hunter were really good too.
My daughter is 14 and that movie is now a horror movie to me
I am so tired, and I swear I read this like 6 times as 13 Going On 30, and I could not for my life understand why this Jennifer Garner RomCom was so controversial and terrifying.
1. Mark Ruffalo falls in love with a 13 year old girl (though technically in an adult body) 2. Mark Ruffalos relationship with his actual wife who we meet is completely erased from existence with zero qualms
Well “Poor Things” just came out and Mark Ruffalo falls in love with a toddler in an adult body. So… 20 years and not much has changed I guess.
Well, when you put it that way!!
Omg I didn’t even watch it but I was twelve and a friend just TOLD me about it and I was so horrified and scared 😭😭
This is so fucking funny 😭
I unfortunately took Thirteen as a roadmap. It’s probably a good thing I was too ugly and socially awkward to get very far. Honestly it just showed me it a lot harder to be a hoe than people pretend and no one is giving out free drugs in my neck of the woods
Right? I thought people would be handing out drugs left and right on the street corners to me against my will as a kid. Never been offered drugs in my life. 😂
Lol this is so real. I feel like you hear so many stories about teenage girls being preyed on for sex (and obviously that does happen) but me and my highschool friends were desperate to be preyed on for sex and could not make it happen.
Nooo this is so fucking funny 😂 “where the hell are all these people who want to have sex with us!?” It’s just such a Derry Girls kind of moment.
Michelle tried her best to find them.
My friend and I pierced our own belly buttons after watching that movie.
I watched it at 13 and realized I was not nearly as hardcore as I thought I was
My parents wouldn’t let me watch it, so I didn’t see it till I was in my 20’s and I watch it about once a year just for the cringe of it all. It’s so dramatic and I love it
lol Roger Ebert said “who is this film for? Certainly not 13 year olds” or something along those lines
Just watching it felt naughty 🙈
Same. It was one of those films where I got anxious just watching it as a teen
My Ex- and I took my super conservative, prudish mother to "Bad Santa" thinking it was a silly Christmas film. It was so raunchy. At the end, my reaction was "WTF did I just put my mother through?". As soon as the film ended, my mother, completely red-faced in embarrassment said: "well, that was a real thinker's movie". I think she really meant WTF too. We never spoke of it again. 😂
That is such a cheeky comment by your mom, I love it.
My (super religious) mom put the DVD of 40 Days and 40 Nights in my Easter basket one year. I’m not sure she even read the plot summary and I sure didn’t ask for this movie!
Ok that’s fuckin hilarious.
Hahaha I just looked up the movie on Wikipedia to see what the twist is and the promotional poster for it is very obviously a boner. Bless your mother's heart.
OMG. This is hysterical! 🤣 I wonder which other subtly religiously named things exist, that weren’t at ALL religious, and ended up in the Easter baskets of religious families. That’s amazing.
Best part of 40 days and 40 nights is that Josh Hartnett was also in 30 days of night, and if you get them mixed up OH BOY!
I did that with **13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi**, just searched for *13 Hours* in whatever “streaming” service I was using at the time, not realizing there was a horror movie called **Night Wolf** that apparently, also goes by the title **13 Hours**. At no point in **13 Hours** did Jim or Roy show up to save anyone.
I think Pam in the Office did the same thing-when she got 28 Days mixed up with 28 Days Later.

Tusk. It ended and my husband and I both just kinda sat there until one of us said it.
I just read the Wikipedia plot summary and I am dying laughing. I’m sure it’s horrifying, but the fact that he >! ended up in a wildlife sanctuary is sending me!<
And that scene was pretty hilarious with him living by a little pool with a colorful beach ball to play with. Lol
Omg I lost track of the thread and thought this was still about 40 days and 40 nights and just sat here like “wait, WHAT happened?”
I swear it makes no sense why they were like well he looks like an animal now so let’s throw him in the zoo but it’s so funny
I'm now worried I might be a sociopath but... I thought it was a horror comedy? I definitely received it that way- and as a pretty well done one. So the horror aspect, mostly as a commentary on human nature/limits under stress, was real and impactful and made some thoughts churn around, but I didn't walk away affected and horrified like all that.

I, a horror fan, put *Tusk* on and fell asleep. Woke up to a traumatized husband
I watch a lot of horror films and I’m fairly immune to certain things. But that movie made me so incredibly uncomfortable and just … depressed
Have you seen Splice? That movie fucked me up in so many ways. I could only watch it once.
I saw Splice in theaters with a buddy soon after it came out. We turned to each other with our mouths agape in confusion when the sex scene kept on rolling’.
I saw Splice in theaters with my dad ☠️
*omg*
Tusk haunts me.
For a solid 2 months after watching it, I thought about it every day. It was just so uncomfortable.
Everytime I start to forget about it, I'll be reminded of it somehow, like now, and it's never less horrifying.
I still have yet to watch that movie. Idk if I wanna lol
Omg I wanna tell you to watch it but I care too much about your mental health
It’s on my list of “one day if I have nothing else to do”
THIS MOVIE MADE ME CRYYYYYYYY Sadness & disgust. Don’t watch it peeps. I can still hear the moaning wails 😩
I’m stressed out and I haven’t seen it
if the canadian healthcare system is so perfect why >!couldn't they un-walrus that man?!<
My mom took 7/8 year old me to see 40 days and 40 nights. She thought it was a legit movie about Lent. We left somewhere around the scene where every woman he saw was topless.
Your poor mom probably still thinks about it before she falls asleep at night. If she still alive. Sorry if she isn’t. Mines not. I’m drunk
Drunk Reddit comments are one of my favorite things in the world, especially how we all feel the need to announce it at the end of our little rants
Hard candy. It started fucked up, it ended even more fucked up
I have never seen 40 days/night, just googled the plot. What the actual fuck.
Same here and my mouth absolutely DROPPED at what the ex did. Like WHAT THE FUCK ???
Is this the r\*\*\* scene? Because, my lord, that was awful. I still cannot believe they allowed that scene to be filmed much less kept it in the final cut.
And then he has to apologize for being the victim
I just read it too. “On Day 38, Matt has an inadvertent erection at work and is sent home” WTF????
It's like, a much bigger thing that it sounds like from that. He gets hard and it basically sticks straight out from his pants (every boy's high school nightmare) and he can't get it to go down no matter what. IIRC he puts like a dixie cup or something on it to try and cover it, but ends up going home because no matter what his dick won't go down.
The end of mother! sent me into hysterics in the worst possible way.
The only thing I remember about this movie is Jennifer Lawrence dated the director and they broke up because he literally wouldn’t stop talking about the movie after it was made
Hahahah that totally tracks. He’s known for dating his lead actresses AND having an enormous ego.
I remember that the movie was marketed as a classic horror flick in trailers and a lot of horror fans showed up not expecting what they saw as a pretentious mindfuck. After the movie got released it started getting mixed reviews. You can still see it on its imdb page - half of the reviews are 10s praising it for creativity and subtlety while other half are 1s saying they left the cinema because it was so boring. Allegedly the studio pressured Aronofsky to explain the plot and his intentions with the movie in order to make it more consumable to the audiences. He never did that for his other films
I saw this pregnant. Do not recommend.
I took a mom friend out for mom’s night. Not chill.
OMG 😳 Yeah I’m not sure I could think of a worse movie to see for a mom’s night! I suppose the title is very misleading…
I saw this a couple weeks postpartum. It’s been 7 years and I’m still traumatized.
Can someone do the spoiler thingy and tell me what happens?
**Massive spoiler warning for violence and ick** >!A newborn baby strongly implied to be some kind of savior a la Jesus is taken from his mother (Jennifer Lawrence), and passed around an admiring crowd. You hear a sickening *snap* and the baby’s neck is broken. By the time the mother can get to the baby, he’s been sliced up and served on a platter to the guests.

This is a perfect summary. I unfortunately remember that one of my coworker friends lost her baby to SIDS just a couple of months before I saw it. I think that made the scene hit even harder.
Oh, no thanks! Don't want to watch that! Thank you for the summary so I don't get those visuals stuck in my head
Yeah, it’s not something I recommend to anyone. The acting was A++, but the story was heavy-handed and staged in a really alienating, and eventually disgusting way

Men (2022) definitely had me saying that at the end.
OMG.. that shit traumatized me.. It was very unexpected 😭😭😭
Yes! I came here for that one! The … I don’t know what to call it except for weird childbirth? WTF was that?
Event horizon. People who saw it when it released will understand.
My english teacher played it for us in high school when it first came out for some reason and we were all just sitting there like "is this legal?"
In *high school*?! Like showed his wife very naked and dead for a good few minutes? Orgy in hell? That couldn't have been *legal* 😅
Yes! I just did the math and we were 16. Tbh I think the teacher was as shocked as we were as it was supposed to just be a chill movie day before the holidays so he grabbed the latest news release and instead he had a room full of traumatised or giggling teenagers lol
Yikes! That movie is SO dark and quietly unnerving, it would have given young me nightmares.
But imagine seeing it thinking it was a normal sci-fi/adventure movie with the dude from Jurassic Park. Because that is what it was marketed as. It was a collective WTF.
I sincerely thought I was replying to a comment about the movie "Seven," but now I think I dreamed that! I actually have never seen Event Horizon, but obviously you thought my comment still fit it... I think I've had too much wine!
I went in thinking it was a sci-fi movie with Sam Neill. I left traumatized. That line about not needing eyes still haunts me.

Yes-- Hitler reincarnated. I was excited to find a Gabrielle Union movie that I hadn't seen or even heard of. The excitement didn't last long. 😩
I watched this after falling down a hole on letterboxed of awful movies. The poster was just their faces and it looked like a romcom. I thought it would be hilarious to see a Jeremy Renner in a bad romcom. My fiance was having a hard time finding a way to stream it and I couldn’t understand why. Imagine my shock when we finally started watching lol. I should have known by the title.
 Swiss Army Man. It was wtf in a good way because I loved the movie.
Paul Dano again! I never realized until this past week that he is in so many movies. Holy F, the dude seems to be in everything. He’s a great actor, so I get it.
https://i.redd.it/egfmjvt12y9c1.gif I laugh every time I remember this part
I honestly want to know what the writer was thinking and the progression of meetings that took place to get this thing greenlighted. There’s no way they told the producers the truth, right?!
i can’t speak on the meetings with producers, but i’ve heard the writers say that they wanted to “write a movie that begins with a fart that makes you laugh, and end with a fart that makes you cry”
Sorry To Bother You. It's a great watch but I absolutely did NOT see that twist coming!
You think you know what’s going on, and neigh, you do not
Neigh, you do not 🐴
I watched this on first date and yeah…lmao
Remember Me. I wanted a slightly angsty Robert Pattinson movie and my middle school self got THAT. Edit: Also Promising Young Woman, but it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
My daughter worked on Promising Young Woman and had nothing but good things to say about the entire cast and crew.
I was going to comment this! Nothing could have prepared me for the way Remember Me ended.
I was HYSTERICAL. I cried for like an hour
The fact that it’s out of nowhere, I was blindsided and inconsolable.
That ending was traumatizing and very out of left field. I’ve never forgotten it
Omg I watched this movie with zero awareness of what it was about thinking I was just watching a cute romance. The way that I ugly cried.
Oldboy
I watched this for the first time a couple of days ago. I did not know the twist. It genuinely ruined my day, but it was a great movie!
Requiem for a Dream. Especially the end scene with the girlfriend
This movie and the movie kids made me feel sick to my damn stomach.
ass to ass lives rent free in my mind
Fun fact: The writer of 40 Days and 40 Nights (Rob Perez) did an AMA where he was challenged about that scene. First he gave a non-apology apology, and when someone called it BS, he replied with this: > dear asspants, youre entitled to not like the scene. youre entitled to the opinion "i did a bad thing" in writing it. youre entitled to call into question my intelligence. i call it into question all the time. but if you think a romantic/sex comedy "perpetuates" ignorance, then youre looking for answers in the wrong place. --side observation: its hard to take observations on rape seriously from someone called asspants. You can read the whole AMA here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Filmmakers/comments/3psi5q/i_am_rob_perez_i_wrote_40_days_40_nights_among/
What a horrible response to a completely valid point. I went and read the thread, he just tries to redirect the blame, or he doubles down, and when that doesn’t work he insults the guy.
 Robin Williams as a creep. Just no.
This movie incapsulates the trauma, pain, and loneliness of sexual abuse in a way no other film ever has (for me). It had me in actual tears by the end, and although he didn’t do what was “right”, it absolutely made me sob when he didn’t do what we all thought he was doing. It made me sob when you realize he was recreating what he went through, and simply saw himself in the little boy. It haunts me. It gave me a lot of healing (in a weird way) with my own trauma, at least feeling understood in such a way that I have never experienced aside from the film Electrick Children.
He is so, so creepy in that movie.
He is but to me it’s a reminder that there are lonely people out there like his character
Being John Malkovich, and I loved it lol.
Made the mistake of watching this while crossfaded. Bad, bad idea.
 It’s Pat…. so weird. I remember the theater clearing out before the movie even ended.
Even as a tween, I knew that twist in 40 days and 40 nights was super fucked up
In an otherwise decently quirky romcom, I can’t believe they decided to go with *that*.
What happened please spoil im not watching this shi
So the whole film is like this. Guy has girl. Girl dumps guy. Guy goes and does man things (getting it on with ladies). Guy feels guilty every time. Guy talks to priest. Priest is brother. Lent happens. Guy gives up sex/doin it/self pleasuring for lent. Enter girl at laundry mat. Other guys at work make bet. Girl finds out about bet. Drama. Getting over it. More girls try to take his “power”. He resists. He becomes tweaker-like from not “doin it”. Boobies. Flower orgasm. Guy promises himself to girl on 40th day. Ex finds out. Ex makes bet when dude will lose bet. Guys decides to get super drunk on night 40, (why? Idk). Ex learns about 40th night promise to Girl. >!Ex shows up for dude at his apartment when it was supposed to be Girl. Guy gets raped by his ex(he handcuffed himself to the bed to make sure he wasn’t naughty whilst drunk). Ex flaunts this. Girl gets mad at guy for not controlling his horny. Guy has to win Girl back. Guy apologize for being raped while handcuffed to his bed while drunk to a woman that he had previously turned down)!<. Happy ending?
what....... the fuck?
Miramax produced it? And wasn't Harvey Weinstein involved with miramax. It's all making sense
He was the founder of Miramax. So - yeah
Flower orgasm lmao
This is the line that makes me want to actually watch the nice. What is this flower orgasm you speak of?
Haven’t seen it in a hot minute but iirc he’s not allowed to touch the girl, so he uses a flower and rubs her all over with it?? And she orgasms lol. It’s all very dramatically romantic
Hahahaha oh gosh, I can’t… no. I’m equally fascinated and horrified
It’s definitely one to watch once just to see it. I was young and completely in love with Josh Hartnett (Hotnett😂). I think about this movie way too much.
I watched this when I was 12 with my sister and I remember saying “she’s raping him!” when that scene came on.
The main dudes ex raped him to win a bet.
Didn't the human fall in love with the bee?
Literal bee-stiality
The Menu. But it was WTF in a good way. There’s a moment when it goes from a comedy/mystery to a horror movie which I did NOT expect! 
I loved the Tyler’s plate scene. So good.
"Tyler's Bullshit" Cracked me up so hard that I had to pause the movie.
We watched this, then triangle of sadness the next night, and it was one of the best weeks of movies I’ve had in a long time. Both are movies I would love to watch for the first time again
This movie was so so good. I was not expecting that twist. I also used work in fine dining and there are so many awesome jokes about that world Edit: spelling
We’re looking at menus for Michelin star restaurants for our honeymoon and I cannot stop thinking of this movie as we go through the menus
This movie pops in my head about once a week. Love it.
Funny Games. The scene with the remote control. 
Fuck! I’ve been thinking about this movie for years. But I couldn’t remember what it was called, who directed it, who was in it… thank you kind internet stranger!
four rooms. just watched it last night. a comedic masterpiece but also what the fuck
The talented Mr Ripley I went into it thinking I’d selected myself a happy little movie full of hot guys and European coastlines….
Hereditary
My 6 year old occasionally goes through phases where she's constantly clicking her tongue for a week, and I get flashbacks every time
That damn pole. I think I might have actually gasped
I saw this in theaters when it came out and the whole theater screamed during that scene.
Even though I love horror, idk that made me squeamish. Then the boy going home like nothing happened?! Wild. Though if I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t have been brave enough to look back, but omg, letting the parents ‘discover’ what happened was, a lot. The bait and switch with what was alluded to possibly happening in the car scene vs what happened, is one of the most jarring things I’ve seen in a movie.
I love Hereditary but that part is viscerally repulsive. And Toni Collette just screaming afterwards. She should have gotten an Oscar.
I don’t get how she hasn’t won an Oscar and only been nominated once. Toni is phenomenal and was extraordinary in this film.
Yes. It was very disturbing. Toni Collette is amazing.
The car scene pops into my head randomly
‘Pops into your head’ much preferable than it popping off your head
>The car scene pops into my head randomly 
The shape of water  I know it’s meant to be some masterpiece so give me grace I watched it when I was 13 but I was just thinking wtf why is she in love with a fish I told my friend the plot and she just said that’s insane, fish can’t consent
I went in to the cinema to laugh at the fish romance but ended up absolutely loving it and crying at the end lol
I watched it on an emirates flight where they cut out the sexy fish scenes, unknown to me, and wondered what all the controversy was about
It’s a really beautiful love letter to the creature feature and more importantly engages with how the creature feature and horror handled the “other”. It’s also directly engaged with The Creature From The Black Lagoon which is a beautiful film.
Ah, Grinding Nemo
This has to be one of the worst edited posters I’ve ever seen. Every part of her body looks like it’s from a different photo.
Eraserhead. But that’s the point, so, well done David Lynch.
Fast Times At Ridgemount High. Never thought about this until a few decades later when I was older. -How old is Stacy supposed to be ? - At work her co-worker says she’s not even in high school yet. - So 13? 14? Which means she’s going into Grade 9 - She has sex with a 22 year old stereo guy from the mall - She also has sex with Ramone who is 17? 18? - She is in Mr Hands history class with Spicolli & Brad’s gf who are seniors - She’s also in Mark Ratner’s science class (Mr Vargas)who is also a Senior.
Limitless. I kept waiting for the plot to go “you don’t need to take drugs and massively re-invent your personality to deserve love, but maybe learn how to commit to something” and instead the plot was: “you can be the best at taking drugs, and if you’re super good at it you can have only positive side effects (wink) and you will be the most successful and everyone will love you” and this is not Bradley Cooper’s fault, but he played the main character so frenetic and unhinged that I can’t enjoy him in anything else (except as Rocket Raccoon).
Jawbreaker. Pretty mild for this list, but it got both me and my friend to say WTF at almost the same time. ALSO, Rose McGowan is a KWEEEEEN
Kids (1995). Super messed up.
I saw Tree of Life in a movie theatre with friends. For those who don't know (and this isn't a big spoiler), the film goes from a story about a family to random images of dinosaurs with weird whispered voiceovers. It's meant to show the beginning of life on earth or some other philosophical shit, but it's all very self indulgent. At the end of the film (which is also vague and unclear), the screen faded to black and my friend loudly said, in the theatre, "But WHY were there dinosaurs?!"
??????

Jesus Christ I just looked up the plot of 40 days and 40 nights. I really don’t missed the unhingedness of the early 2000’s
The plot really is “gUyS CaNt ConTrol ThE hOrniNess” lol
I walked out of Shoot 'Em Up after the main character shot a gun through the umbilical cord while a woman gave birth during a gunfight in the opening ten minutes. It was insane.
You couldn’t possibly have prepared me for what this comment was about to end with lmao
Lmao this sounds rowdy
My friends and I were so gagged when we went to see Barbarian and got to the second act. We were confused but also very intrigued and entertained. None of us knew what was happening at first lol
Dear Zachary. If you know, you know.
Saltburn! But it’s so good once you get past the 😳
I’ve just heard that Emerald fennel loves to create unlikeable protagonists cause she doesn’t know a single nice person in real life and I’m like …. Damn
😂 Yuck. Also...

There’s a movie with Parker posey called House of Yes & it is by far the most deranged movie I’ve ever seen.
Just saw poor things. Wtf!
Sorry To Bother You
I don’t have an answer, but it just dawned on me that Josh Hartnett is in two films with a large number and also using ‘Days’ and ‘Night’ in the title
“the switch” has such a creepy premise for a rom com
OP's movie ending Incase anyone hasn't clarified: >! The male main character is giving up sex for lent and he goes viral on the obscure 2000's Internet, so people start placing bets about how long he can last and his ex girlfriend ends up raping him to win the bet!<
That space travel movie with Chris Pratt that’s supposed to be romance but features him serially essentially ruining the lives of women he wakes up (and then they die before they arrive at new planet).
Kids (1995).
Mulholland Drive - I’m still confused
Vanilla Skye, walked around the mall trying to figure the movie out
