# If I ever eat food that still has a face
(as opposed to once had a face, fine with that)

I'm reminded of that scene in Young Sherlock Holmes where Watson trips his balls off eating imaginary suicidal cakes.

# Is that from Happiness?
fucking horrible film like a visual version of the sound nails down a blackboard makes

# ^ This
Very very much so.

And Life During Wartime*. Dreadful. 100 minutes of my life I can't get back.

Edit: A Sequel using the same characters, but different actors; Like that's not going to be completely confusing.

# I saw this with my partner one evening
We didn't know what it was about and we were truly shocked. Fucking rotten film, I'd totally forgotten about it until this post. Blleeurrgh.

# was it the child molestation
or kid having a wank that you liked the most?

# Oh come on
You didn't like it, so anyone who does is stupid?

What is this, the internet?

I really liked it. It was refreshing to see a film show what is probably the reality of a horrible event, without needlessly demonising or glorifying anyone involved.

I don't need a child molester to be greasy and ugly and a bit camp, and have a dungeon, and mummy issues, to tell me that he's doing a bad thing. I can come to that conclusion myself.

...and it was funny. Jon Lovitz was excellent. It's a shame some can't see past the subject matter.

# Can't see past the subject matter...?
That's a bit of an 'Apart from that, how did you find the play, Mrs Lincoln?' kind of statement.

# Haha excellent expression.
But seriously, there are plenty of things which deal in horrible subjects which are nevertheless fantastic. I mean, most action/adventure movies feature dozens of violent deaths, right?

# Absolutely, and I couldn't agree more.
Something about that film (and the sequel, to a lesser extent) was just deeply unsettling and unpleasant. I know I'm being vague, but it's very difficult to pin down.

Edit: That said - the sequel had the chap who played Omar from The Wire in it. Which was nice.

# I didn't realize there was a sequel?
I do agree, it's a genuinely unsettling movie, but I also have to say I thought it had a lot of dark humour in it. I like uncomfortable laughter.

# fucking hell, learn to read sarcasm, this is b3ta, it accounts for 90% of what people type
It's a shame some can't see past the subject matter.

Also, I didn't actually say I hated the film, I said it was horrible, things can be horrible, like horror films and stuff that's meant to make you feel uneasy. It had merits in approaching a story, the acting and so forth, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone other than film students or beardy pretentious types.

I resent the implication that I have a beard.

# In the movie Happiness
The older chap does the younger chap up the wrong 'un

this is discreetly revealed to the viewer the next day when the little boy says to his mother

"Mom, there was blood in my BMs*"
