#Violence in Movies

[nightthewing]

My friend and I were having a conversation about horror movies, during which they mentioned that Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween all had deaths that are commonly misremembered as being more gruesome than they actually are on screen, and it made me wonder if that has something to do with the way we process violence- would the same be true of war movies, or other hyperviolent ones (looking at you, Tarantino, Rodriguez)? And I'd love to do a controlled for all factors twenty year study on how people remember violent scenes depending on the age they first see the movie and how long it's been between viewings and so forth, but I don't have funding for that so I'm gonna settle for a tumblr poll. Please reblog for reach! I'd love to get as large a pool as possible.

“… killing a man isn’t clean and quick and simple. It’s bloody and awful. And maybe if enough people come to realize that shooting somebody isn’t just fun and games, maybe we’ll get somewhere.”

"I don't remember movies in my day being this violent" "i didn't remember how scary this movie was" "childrens movies aren't scary!" 💀💀💀Bro, you slept through the whole goshdanged movie 💀💀💀

Referencing obscure Internet memes in mainstream media almost invariably falls flat, but if movie!Deadpool walked into the aftermath of a scene of gratuitous carnage and quipped "wow, it looks like a children's hospital in here" it would totally work. To those who don't catch the reference it would come off as generic edgy bullshit, and to those in the know, Deadpool having a Tumblr account is completely believable.

intimacy between an evil spiteful building-sized supercomputer and the lone scientist left behind after everyone else ditched and forgot about her (in which computer wants to kill scientist really bad but her programming wont let her so she just attempts to make her as miserable as possible instead, which also doesn't work because scientist is a freak)

Stacy’s mom from the hit song Stacy’s mom is Jigsaw from hit movie series Saw. My gym teacher and I were stuck in the first Saw trap. I beat her up with a radiator and then chased Stacy’s mom in a high stakes chase scene.

Good dream.

"oh no, that's hot" - sexual awakening through horror - a gifset for every person who ever watched a scene in a horror movie that made them feel something they'd never felt before, knowing it wasn't the 'right' thing to feel.

"WE WANTED TO SHOW VIOLENCE IN REAL TERMS. DYING IS NOT FUN AND GAMES."

"We wanted to show violence in real terms. Dying is not fun and games. Movies make it look so detached. With "The Wild Bunch," people get involved whether they like it or not. They do not have the mild reactions to it."

People keep on saying American entertainment has too much violence, despite being so puritanical with sex. I can't agree with this dichotomy. Just sounds like virtue signalling or a door-in-the-face technique to appear more reasonable. We shouldn't step on another contents toes to get sexual stuff back in business. We need to be more lax on both. More sex! More violence! MORE!

CW! implied violence, references to injury/death!

I’ve been thinking a lot about Movie Knuckles and his past. Picturing that poor baby growing up in a fighting arena. So I made a little comic about it!
