Export thread

I'm gonna hand out some movie awards this year. They aren't going to be Best Actor or Best Actress or any of that, it's gonna be weird shit. I'm going to make a thread for us to discuss each category before I announce the winners. If you have ideas for categories, please PM them to me or post ITT.


The first category is: Most Disturbing Image / Scene.

This is kind of self-explanatory, this is the most fucked up thing you've seen in a movie released last year. Possible winners from years' past could be

Full Metal Jacket

The Fly
The entirety of Brundlefly

Or just skipping along, pretty much anything from a Cronenberg movie.

Here are the first handful that spring to mind for me.

Looper
A) The scene where Old Paul Dano attempts to escape
B) The scene where you find out where "The Rainmaker"'s name originates

Killer Joe
A) The scene where you never think about Fried Chicken the same again


also, please spoil things if they are super-specific.

Django

They weren't the same guy. I would agree with your nomination of (B) though. But does Django count? Didn't it come out in the first week of Jan?[DOUBLEPOST=1357668843][/DOUBLEPOST]Charlie, how about best performance by an inanimate object? Then I could nominate Orlando Bloom's Pompadour in the Three Musketeers.

I saw Django on Dec. 26th, and pretty sure Three Musketeers came out in 2011.

I'm going to try to avoid too much like. When was stuff released nitpicking, but I'm going to default to the Oscars. So Django and Zero Dark Thirty are 2012, even if they were slightly limited releases.

Ohhhh I get it.

You're correct! My bad. In that case, definitely the B scene.

Well, if it were 2010, I'd say A Serbian Film would be a clear winner, but the only movies I've seen in the theater in all of 2012 were Wreck-It Ralph and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

So I guess I'm out.

Man, I don't even remember what movies I saw in 2012. I definitely saw the comic book movies, so that's the Avengers, the Dark Knight Rises, and the Amazing Spider-Man. Oh, and I saw Snow White and the Huntsman too. But I don't think any of them had any particularly disturbing scenes.

Oh wait, I saw Prometheus too (with a hot girl, I might add!), that had a few good ones. Fifield attacking the crew in the hangar, Shaw giving herself a self-cesarean, Holloway getting burned alive, etc. If I had to nominate one, I'd go with the cesarean.

Prometheus was '12? Then definitely the self-caesarian.

I actually came in here to post that when i saw the topic headline. I'm not normally that squeamish about violence on screen, but that scene gave me the wibblies. especially how freaked me the hell out.

shamefully, the only two 2012 movies I managed to see in 2012 were the Hobbit and the Avengers, so I can't really contribute.
