Weird Movies

Well, he secretly liked it too. According to him, you can tell a lot about a person by how they react to Gummo. (?!) I'm still not sure what he meant by that, other than that anyone who likes it is probably a weirdo. (I guess we both are, we've introduced it to other people, and we're the only ones who've liked it.)

While watching Gummo there were 2 moments where I 1) looked away from the screen and 2) fast forwarded it 10 seconds,
haha I appreciate the fact that it exists but watching it once was enough, I think.

I think your friend meant that you can tell how open is a person to experience / watch bad/weird/awful things through a screen and consider it a human experience withouth discarding it as garbage? How willing they are to know/watch the full spectrum of human emotions and experiences..
Learned a lot at college where some weird teacher put Irreversible to us, a bunch of 17-18years old students.

And tbh if I go to someones house and they're watching Gummo I could watch it again, but I wouldn't do it on my own.

I find your knowledge on weird movies pretty extent. I like that. Have you ever watched anything about El Santo? The mexican wrestler.

My favorite uncomfortable and weird movies are Rubber and Pink Flamingos, even though they're pretty light hearted.

When I lived in Texas as a kid, we had some channel that would show old low budget horror movies...they'd show a bunch of the El Santo movies (very badly dubbed into English). So, yes, I've seen quite a few, but I couldn't even tell you the names of any of them now. (Well, a quick Google search tells me that El Santo was in 52 movies altogether.) (I do remember one where it was El Santo and two other wrestlers fighting vampire women...that was a good one.) (Apparently there was also a long running El Santo comic book series, which, as a comic book nerd, I'm very interested in!) Two Mexican horror films from the sixties I've always loved are "Brainiac" and "Wrestling Women Versus the Aztec Mummy". Absolutely wonderful, weird stuff.

I saw Rubber not that long ago. I thought it was pretty good. Definitely better than I expected from the description.
Ashamed to admit, I've never seen Pink Flamingos, at least not that I recall. My favorite John Waters movie is "Desperate Living", and it's pretty bad...

I'd like to take this opportunity to promote the YouTube channel of The Mummy and the Monkey. They are a couple of folks from Cleveland,Ohio,who do a live "horror host" show most Fridays. They show crappy old public domain horror movies, but add sound effects and whatnot (which actually makes some of these awful flicks watchable.) (They used to run a store in Cleveland called the Thrift Crypt. Vitx and I stumbled in there once during one of our adventures into Cleveland. Nice folks. Didn't realize they were horror hosts until we got back home.) (That's the Cjovani for you, always promoting Northeast Ohio!)

I looked the Wikipedia articles on a bunch of these movies, and... just wow.

That's the closest to a real life Elvira experience you can get. Subd!

Yeah, words are way worse than images sometimes. In this case I'm not speaking for all of the movies but yes, big Wow.
