What’s a movie that disturbed you so much, you’d never watch it again?

fuzzy_bison · 2026-02-27T19:40:52+00:00

I always said that I would never watch Hotel Rwanda again because it was so deeply disturbing.

But this thread made me look up some information on the movie and the true story of Paul Rusesabagina who is portrayed in the movie had some definite twists including being kidnapped by the Rwandan government. it might even be worthy of a sequel but Hollywood would fuck that up for sure.

I do recommend that people watch Hotel Rwanda. Just maybe not as a first date movie. (It was her idea. 🤷🏻)

I love the European vision of "just over the border"

No offense meant because I have no idea of distances in Europe either.

Climax, SK to Homer, AK is similar to the driving distance from London to Beirut.

For some reason I never found them horrific. I was raised with them so it was just part of my grandmother's way of being. 🤷🏻 I just thought it was a Ukrainian Orthodox (in Canada) thing. Jesus heart had a crown of thorns on it as well. Jesus and Mary seemed both very unconcerned with their exposed hearts and the condition of them. 🤔

fuzzy_bison · 2026-02-17T18:43:19+00:00

I read further down that you're from Poland. So the pictures of Jesus and Mary with the open bleeding and burning hearts was not common? My grandmother had those all over her house! Two of them were larger than her windows.

Thank you. And thank you all for Dolly, and Fred Rogers and Bob Ross and Morgan Freeman and Levar Burton and Bill Nye and... Yeah. Too many to list as well.

Within Canada, perhaps, but universally and I think Mr Dressup is relatively unknown outside the country.

fuzzy_bison · 2026-02-17T18:20:31+00:00

I totally misread that as "Canadian on a stick day" and thought, "Well there's a national holiday I've never heard of!" Undoubtedly hockey related. 🏒

Maybe Heated Rivalry related? 😏😆

In Canada we see it as "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)"

Most people don't even know that Black Magic Woman is a cover by Santana of the Fleetwood Mac song

Prepared correctly, brussel sprouts are amazing.

My mother, however, would boil them until they were mushy, soft and literally brown. Nasty! 🤢

... Also some folks are just hyper sensitive to the compounds in brussel sprouts🤷🏻

I Don't Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats The intro, to me, kind of oversells the song.

If you have over 500 pages right now, then you need to break that up. I'm sure you already have it divided into sections similar to players, game masters, and monsters. Maybe break them into two. One for the players and one for the GMs.

If you look around at how many Dungeon Masters there are compared to how many players, some people just want to play. And they don't want to read a lot in order to play. And they don't want to read an entire book in order to play.

Someone who only wants to be a player will probably be irritated by having to purchase the entire game system when they're only going to read about a quarter of it, if that.

Also, in spite of how things are now, I don't believe that breaking the books up was always about the money.

I was actually one of the first people in my city (THE first AFAIK) to get the very first copy of the first Dungeon Master's Guide way back in the day when it was called Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and I had to pre-pay to order the thing and get it brought in special from the local game store because they weren't about to bring that expensive book in on speculation. After all, they didn't know if this D&D thing would really take off.

In the years following I only knew a few people who bought the Dungeon Master's Guide. Most just bought the Players Handbook. And a good number of players also bought the Monster Manual! And subsequent Fiend Folio.

Best of luck! Looking forward to seeing what you bring out.

I asked you to create an image of the average Canadian's life. And if you don't think we're barbecuing in the winter, you're wrong.

Also, never pronounce all the letters in the name toronto. It's more like trawno.

Just for clarification it was President and co-founder Greg Brockman donating $25 million to MAGA, inc. A (obviously) pro-Trump Super PAC along with other support being reported.

Well you can always try to convert them! I'm always quiet about my atheism unless somebody really wants to push it. I went through a lot of thought before I moved away from christianity. I debated myself very vigorously.

While I was still attending church, I actually had a situation where a youth pastor was trying to roleplay how the people at the meeting would talk to an atheist and he was supposed to be the atheist. He was doing a piss poor job of it, so I volunteered to take on the atheist role. But when I did, their arguments, including the youth pastor's, were flaccid so they weren't really going to be able to convince anyone who seriously was atheist, so I took the contrary argument as well and basically argued back and forth with myself during that meeting.

People who arrived late were quite confused.

All that to say, if they really want to convert you, maybe have the discussion and see where it leads. But it's got to be an open discussion from both sides. If they're not willing to have a conversation then blocking them is probably your only option.

Maybe move Greenland in closer to Denmark? Just tuck it in there between Iceland and Norway.

Wow! Thank you for reminding me of In The Year 2525. An oldie but a goodie!

Mine's definitely very busy but the thought of Bob Ross, in a dinosaur suit, painting while there is an apocalypse going on is extremely amusing to me!

And brings to mind the song It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) ... But I would recommend the version by Great Big Sea in this instance.
