That's over three decades old. 10/26/84 Body Double 7/24/81 Blow Out It's funny but that scene didn't really bother me. If it seems unreal or cartoonish to me, no matter how gory, it doesn't stay with me. I actually remember the psychological scene at the end of Brian De Palma's earlier movie, "Blow Out" bothered me more, because I could more easily imagine it happening. The first two episodes of Black Mirror seem very realistic to me, and hence I get more upset at them than the drill bit scene. When I said earlier that watching Black Mirror was like watching torture porn, I meant that they are equally entertaining to me. I didn't actually mean that Black Mirror was torture porn. |

Dang if every episode isn't a winner. Season 2 got a solid 5 stars on Prime and Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 100% rating. How often does that happen. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

There isn't a human on the planet that ALWAYS 100% of the time thinks a book, any book, is better than the movie or TV show. It's a ridiculous comment because it's apples and oranges. In a book, you can dispense far more information, and you're forced to use your imagination to picture that world. So how could a limited time movie or TV possibly know what you have built up in your mind. All your seeing is the what the screenwriter see's after he read the book. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Although the biggest movie sold domestic (USA & Canada) between 34 and 76 million tickets this year, keep in mind that it takes a little more effort and money to go to a theater. 1 Black Panther BV 76,272,300 2 Avengers: Infinity War BV 72,419,700 3 Incredibles 2 BV 66,304,500 4 Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Uni. 45,947,000 5 Deadpool 2 Fox 34,031,300 |
