You think that was bad, imagine being an 8 year old girl, and reading the novel on which this film was based on. In the novel, Anne Wilkes, Kathy Bates' character in the film, actually severes Paul Sheldon's (Caan) leg just below the knee...however, this is not entirely true, as the word "severe" suggests a clean cut. The cut was made with a fire axe, the wound cauterized with a blowtorch. |

Yah, and she also cut his thumb off and put it in his "birthday cake" like a candle. But then putting all of all most any King book into a movie would make it NC17. |

True. But it's sort of depressing because, though directors will never be completely faithful to the source material when directing a film based on Stephen King's work, they really should be. Some of those films have sodomized the novels so hugely and completely it's sickening. However, there are, of course, wonderful adaptations (Stand By Me, and in my opinion, The Shining, just because the atmosphere was great and whoever casted Jack Nicholson is obviously God( gotta love that grin)) of King's work. |

Yikes, I knew King's novels had a history of being watered down when translated into films; but I always assumed that particular scene was accurate because it was just so cringe worthy. Surprised I never read that because I had a serious Stephen King fetish in my teens. |

Haha, I'm partway through my own Stephen King fetish, though I don't think it will ever really "end", I'm just too big a fan of his work. I can see why you would think that the scene was accurate. Had I not read the book, I would have thought so myself. Definitely cringe-worthy. But yes, the novel was once again, master of it's own plain, and, as Axia noted, there was the bit with the thumb as well. |

Dude honestly, truly awful comes in the phrase "But I have the high ground". Followed several moronic moments later by "I Hate YOU I Hate You I Hate You".... NO jedi should ever sound like a 14 year old girl who just got her cell phone taken away. |

That is exactly the reason why Death Race 2000 was better. No emo, just murder and 1970's gore censorship that actually becomes funny. |

Ohhh yeah. That one made me wince. And the stuttering kid's torture. Some things don't appeal to even my most sadistic side. |
Paperboy Posts: 25 Joined: 25 Aug 2008 | Any of the cock-biting scenes in the movie "Teeth." I can't even begin to describe the detail they put into having a man's shining helmet dropping out of a woman because she was pissed and decided to make her vagina teeth chop him in half. No emoticon could possible convey that amount of discomfort that shot through me. All three times it happens. Watch the damn movie, it's fantastic. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2320 Joined: 1 Feb 2008 | The Cook, The Thief, The Wife, and Her Lover - The Thief is torturing a little kid by cutting the rather large buttons off the kid's coat and making him swallow them. When the kid downed the last button, The Thief looks at him and says, "But you've got one button left - your belly-button!" and...yeah. That movie is a bit of a cringe-fest, really. And the whole movie "Happiness" - it just hurt my heart, the entire thing. |

On that note Msch., try and catch a short film called "The Gynecologist". It's a comedy and I guarantee you'll enjoy it. :) Edit: Whilst watching it, I thought "Who does the Lead remind me of?" and it's so you. :) As for scenes, Episode 1 of Series 1 of House. Bring me to tears just thinking of it. |

I loved the Shawshank Redemption as a movie. It was really a great adaption. One of the best book to movie adaptations I have ever seen.
I remember that in the theater. All the kids were crying because that shit was messed up. |

Beat Writer Posts: 180 Joined: 16 Jul 2008 | The entirety of Dragon Wars would have been physically painful if I hadn't found 20 bucks on the ground prior to going in, making the movie a 10 dollar net gain for me. As for painful in a "good" way the first time I saw Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust I freaked out when Meier Link took an axe to the face so suddenly since I obviously hadn't seen the rest of the movie yet... |

I always wondered where he got a giant pit of needles from. |

By far, it's the scene in Pan's Labyrinth where Captain Videl smashes a guy's face in with a wine bottle because he was being disrespectful, and then turns and shoots the boy's father.
