Just...no.

It got creepy

It was better than Visitor Q.

When she feeds her pet, I cringe.

Are his other movies this...extreme? If so, I think I'll pass. This made me physically ill/queasy at that last scene.

Is it heavier than I Stand Alone?

That 30 seconds warning thing was brilliant. I was prepared for the worst, and actually scared.
Mostly because I saw Irreversible before I saw this one, and Irreversible didnt have a warning like that.
For those of you who have no idea what Iam talking about; Gaspar Noe, the director, added a 30 second count down warning in the middle of the movie to prepare people for the following scene, and to give them 30 seconds to leave the cinema.

Anyway, I just discovered this Gaspar Noe directed music video.

Nice video, not so nice song:

Seul Contre Tous? I hated that, it was... ridiculous. Yeah Audition is nastier. More subtle, but more disturbing.
Never seen Irreversible...not sure I want to.

Irreversible was weak.
there's two squeamish parts
the rest (and it's most of the movie) is boring, boring filler while attractive people talk about their shallow feelings.

I find Haneke to be far more shocking. Audition was hum drum for me. Irreversible was pointless, industrial light and magic interviews are far more appealing.

This one's supposed to be not so extreme, but I can't confirm that since I haven't seen it myself yet. It's on my Netflix queue, though. I'll try to remember to come back here and give my thoughts after viewing.

I really wanna se that too...

Okay, so I finally watched The Happiness of the Katakuris last night, and I have to say that I enjoyed it immensely. Completely not what you'd expect from Miike-san.

Watched Ichi the Killer Saturday. Wow.

i think the scene in Audition with the piano wire had the most walk outs during a film in history

Wait does the piano wire come before or after the sticking of needles in the eyes?

The intellectual equivalent of enjoying staring through a butcher's window...with said butcher's window being full of fake meat.

Ive seen Ichi a couple of times, and didnt find it disturbing at all. Is Audition "sicker"?

I remember one of those Guinea Pigs films had a really disturbing and impressive eyeball scene. Not sure which one... (I have only seen two on them). Anyone remember this?

I really think that Irreversible is much more uncomfortable to watch than any of these Japanese gore films. Irreversible was so realistic, and they way it was shot with the hand-hold camera, almost made me feel sick to my stomach. I saw that Cannibal Holocaust thing when I was around ten years old, and it ruined me back then. Nothing really shocks me anymore, but Irreversible did a pretty good job!
Fuck, even the baseball-bat scene from Casino shocked me more than Takashi Miikes films..

I challenge you all to give me something heavier than the fire extinguisher scene from Irreversible.. Its not so much about the graphics, but more about the whole setting.
For those of you who havent seen it yet, here it is: (filmed with a phone:p)

(the low quality of the clip, makes the whole scene lose a great deal of impact. You should also watch the beginning of the movie, to get in the right fucked up mood).

People who look to gore films for shocks are simply misdirected and directors who opt for this for the so called shock value are probably mentally retarded top the extent that their imagination and storytelling ability mirrors that or is stunted to the level of a hormonally wrecked teenage bullying victim. These people - the directors and their fans - have columbine-esque issues and probably need a bit of help..to stop them raping children and shooting those who reject them.

Are you talking about Clayton?

Not specifically. I think he's outgrown the columbinsim though. He seems to look back fondly at metal and gore films these days...referring to them as cute.

I like both metal and gore films. I also like pop music and cartoons.

I watched a Mumin cartoon for the first time yesterday. Underrated.

HELL YES!

Its great, isnt it? Pretty spooky too!

Definately. I watched this one about a golden fish, and they had to go through a dark forest to get there.
It helps that it's got the late '80s early '90s japanime look.
