Martyrs
this really isnt a post about doing anything specifically... except in a very passive way. like watching a movie.
i just want to ask people if theyve seen this film called Martyrs.... i know this has already been hyped on the internet quite a bit... but holy fucking shit.
i remember when the first Saw movie came out after being hyped as one of the most violent movies ever, and me waiting in line on opening day all excited (jeff, werent you there?). and then afterwards thinking that was the worst piece of shit, tame horror movie. if i had instead sat down to watch Martyrs that day i would have been fucking floored, and gone on to have nightmares for a week. since then, ive become a bit more desensitized (thanks internet!) so maybe no nightmares (except i did wake up with a certain image in my head and it didnt make me feel nice), but yeah... i dont really know what to say. theres some pretty pretentious, non-sensical philosophy that ties up the movie with a Rosemary's baby type "old people cult conspiracy" plot. in spite of that, its still goes from one of the most badass revenge films to one of the most uncomfortable flicks ive ever sat through (without being sexually sadistic like irreversible or something like that).
so bravo?
