Fuck him. I’d also like a trigger warning for throw up please . Every one’s gettting a little too comfortable just casually including it . Like hhahaha let’s cut to a 5 second to 5min clip of vomit so funny.😒😒😒😒😒

Yes! I hate seeing people vomit in movies. I watched Witches of Eastwick, and completely forgot there were a couple vomit scenes in that movie

In a way, as disgusting as the movie poster was, I knew to stay away from Triangle of Sadness due to its graphic nature. I'm an emetophobe, I don't play when it comes to scenes of gastro distress.

Yeah, do not watch that one. I heard the movie was good and went in blind. The segment was not only long, they uh... really went out of their way to get creative with it. I was both engrossed and grossed out. The practical effects were really impressive but the entire scene was horrifying.

[deerlike]

Yeah, after seeing the poster and being thoroughly nauseated, I looked up a review that really detailed how sickening (and lengthy) that scene was, so I decided to pass. Even if the movie was an excellent satire otherwise, I wouldn't be able to handle that particular moment and would probably have a panic attack that would render me useless to watch the rest of the movie. So it would be pointless.

I never thought I would see a movie worse than Kevin Smith's Tusk, until Triangle of Sadness.

[butnow]

Agreed! It's so gross and also personally a very not fun ED trigger, even if it's played for laughs.

[callonme_84]

Oh wow! I never even thought of that

[origliasshole]

as an emetophobic, i wholeheartedly agree

[ellie_andrews]

i can't remember what i was watching (maybe the Righteous Gemstones?) where's there's a vomit scene while the POV is from inside the toilet??

don't know what i did to deserve that

[notoriousreign]

Oh I completely agree with this

[yousaidlog]

Yeah I always have to close my eyes if someone is vomiting onscreen
