I hear what you’re saying Peeps, and I understand. For me, because they were such good actors, it made it all the worse. It just got to be too much when they brought the other couple into their cruel, perverted game. Going down into that level just made me feel somehow dirty. As great as the acting was, that movie to me was one sick puppy.

As a side note Peeps, I know you are a connoisseur of all things Peeps, are the chocolate one any good?
 
I actually want to see it. :confused:

It’s based on a play.

I started watching it when it was on TCM recently, but I decided I couldn’t invest the time into it.

I wanted to compare her acting with that from Butterfield 8.

I thought that one was over the top melodrama.

My aunt didn’t like Elizabeth Taylor because, “She stole Eddie Fisher from Debbie Reynolds!”

I do agree with you about movies that drag our souls down–it’s one reason I stay away from social media sites like Facebook!

YES, the chocolate mousse Peeps are so good! To me, they taste like hot chocolate.

I tend to like the plain ol’ pink and yellow Peeps, either the chicks or the bunnies. Oh, yum, I’m so hungry right now (12 hours straight at the hospital working due to short staffing)–I could sure go for a 3-pack of Peeps right now.
 
  1. Horns. I can easily put this at the top. I was expecting humor and whimsy, but instead got an unreasonable amount of gore and sex scenes that I needed to fast forward through.
  2. Crimson Peak. For all the reasons I stated above.
  3. Miss Hokusai. I begrudgingly went to see this anime with my aunt, because there were going to be M&Ms involved. Still wasn’t worth it.
  4. The Bye Bye Man. Regretted going to see this one with my dad when it came out. I’m sure you can draw your own conclusions from there.
  5. Onibaba. Too depressing. It was like Thomas Hardy and George Orwell on depressants. But in Japanese.
 
I’m taking this from a religious standpoint

1.lord of the rings

2.harry Potter

3.the conjuring

4.friday the 13th
  1. Terminator
 
Not to derail or anything, but I visited the Mall of America in Minnesota a few years back and there was a store that IIRC sold huge versions of candy. They had huge peeps (like a foot tall). I remember my daughter wanted a huge stuffed peep (which she got, of course). I remember getting my picture taken with a 2-foot-long box filled with Mike & Ike candy.

It was like falling into a vat of sugar. It was wonderful.
 
I just found out that Tolkien was Catholic so now I see it the more I think about it
 
  1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show - multiple times, my misspent youth
  2. Noah - on the recommendation of a bishop
  3. Return of the Living Dead - dragged my Mom to see this…
  4. The Craft - but really good-looking actresses, what a waste
  5. Minions - unabashed glorification of evil.

I forgot about Noah, that movie was terrible, along with another recent biblical film Exodus (starring Christian Bale), a complete waste of roughly 3 hours, I’ll stick with the OG Ten Commandments thank you.

When I was in college in the 70s one of the local theaters used to show this every Saturday night. The showing was always full and many dressed in their favorite character. I never went to see it, but they had an article on it in the local rag sheet.
 
These are movies you disliked or liked? They are all very great movies that is why I ask.
 
  1. The Hateful Eight (vulgar)
  2. It Comes At Night (not scary because nothing came at night; still trying to figure this one out).
  3. Black Swan (too bizarre and sexual)
  4. Pulp Fiction (way too much unnecessary killing and violence)
  5. Noah (way to kill a great Biblical story)
There are alot more but got to think them out.

Every city back then had a Rocky Horror show theater that showed the movie weekly, with audience participation, for years. One of my high school friends went with her older siblings and became a semi-regular. She tried to get me to go see it but my mother said No because it was rated R. Probably just as well because when I found out the subject matter, it wouldn’t have appealed to me.at all - too gay.
To this day I don’t think I’ve watched it all the way through although I’ve seen pieces of it here and there.
