welshbairn Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I don't get how people can nonchalantly watch IS snuff and torture videos but get freaked out by daft low budget fictional gore and depravity. Maybe it's the inferior production values. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I can watch most shit without getting disturbed but I draw the line at anything involving kids, so I'll be giving it a swerve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a couple of films I've had to stop watching (Seed and Antichrist spring to mind) because something bad was happening/about to happen to a kid. <<< pussay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just surprised that people can happily watch them and call anything else beyond the pale. The Serbian thing doesn't appeal though, I think I'll give it a miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it back, I want to be held tonight and told everything is going to be alright. Play with fire, you're going to get burned.

One of the benefits of not using Facebook, judging by the number of times I've seen people complain about auto-starting videos ending up on their timeline. Stephen King's theory on why people watch/read horror is that it's an attempt to prepare for the worst. As far as videos of actual deaths go, there's only so much you need to see before it becomes a pointless exercise IMO. Only seen a few when I was younger, and they've all just been sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a weird compilation film on the rigs when I was young, bits of people being eaten by lions and the like, and one clip where an Amazonian local had his genitals cut off and shoved in his mouth by security for road builders. I knew it was very wrong but it didn't really affect me. Watching an IS video made me feel I'd never be clean again. Maybe it's an age thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hk blues Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 ... Stephen King's theory on why people watch/read horror is that it's an attempt to prepare for the worst. As far as videos of actual deaths go, there's only so much you need to see before it becomes a pointless exercise IMO... I reckon Stephen King is too far up his own arse if he actually believes the above. People watch horror movies for entertainment, and almost all adults are able to draw the line between fact and fiction. Which is why most normal adults don't particularly seek out clips of people dying for real. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) 10 minutes ago, throbber said: hk blues if you are assuming watching a snuff video online is on the same scale as taking your phone out to film a tragedy rather than help out in any way you are way off the mark. I don't see how there is anything wrong with filming incidents like that anyhow as it can end up as crucial evidence in any investigations. You regularly hear police asking anyone with any footage to forward it on to them. Eta: Obvz if you've got a choice between helping out or filming and you choose to film then you're a bit of a no righter. I doubt there's much the boy filming the Glasgow incident could've done though, other than shout out his fantastic advice.

H Wragg Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Black Friday when Christmas falls on a Sunday. 16th or 23rd? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernJambo Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Had a similar chat, unanimous winner was the 16th. Christmas Eve being a Saturday night makes it less likely towns will be as busy Friday 23rd. Just go out on both to make sure you get the full experience? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
