Corpsey
bandz ahoy

I looked this up and IdleRich saw it and thought it was rubbish, but I just saw it and it rocked my world.
I'd read all about how "visceral" and "gory" it was - and it is, but I wasn't prepared for how disturbing and sadistic the violence in it was. (Also the explicit nudity that is standard in hardcore porn but surprising to see in a (sort of) mainstream movie.)

I dunno, maybe I was just so shocked by how uncompromisingly vicious it was that I'm overrating it. I was certainly conscious of it going out of its way to be disturbing (with the requisite atonal dissonant soundtrack) and of it not presenting a full and realistic picture of life. (By which I mean there is no love, basically no friendship, no laughs.)
But I rated it. Full of ghastly images that will haunt me and festoon my bad, cheese induced dreams for weeks to come.
It seemed to connect with some of the topics we discuss on here too. Reality being fake. The loss of self. Video games influencing reality. The internet's effect on our psychology.
