I watched the Wicker Man last night.
The original, not the Cage-fuelled remake. I now bestow upon it the title of the weirdest film I have ever seen.
I've tried watching it a few times before, but given up because it was too much weird too late at night. Turns out the weirdness increases exponentially after my usual giving up point.

I quite enjoyed it, even if I did spend half the time clutching my head and shouting 'WHAT THE FUCK??' at the telly.

What's the most mind bending film you've seen recently?

Eraserhead.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 14:20, Reply)

Yeah.
That film is odd.
This one is a bit strange too:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_(film)
( Cawl, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 14:32, Reply)

I keep meaning to watch that.
I've seen the Fountain, and that was pretty peculiar too.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 14:35, Reply)

Easily
the oddest film ever made.
(dchurch bah, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 14:42, Reply)

If anyone could explain the Fountain to me,
It'd be much appreciated.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 14:47, Reply)

Don't bother watching Pi
it's pretentious crap
(PsychoChomp, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 14:44, Reply)

I liked the ending.

( Cawl, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 14:47, Reply)

I liked the fact it ended.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 14:49, Reply)

I'd never thought about drilling my own brain before.
It's given me another option.

I saw Moon last night,
that was pretty good, if a bit slow.

Wicker man is awesome.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 14:21, Reply)

I spent most of
Wicker Man going, WTF is this? etc. (And I've actually *lived* on an island in the Outer Hebrides!)

And then it got to the last 10 minutes and my jaw dropped and I shuddered all over at the very grim ending. Awesome film.

Weirdest film ever though is also the worst: 2001. None shiter.

You finally found something to do then petal?

Yes. He's very nice.
My sister has finished school now, so I home is less dull with someone else around. We're planning some serious snack pimpage after we come back from Greece.

Working more as well. Which kills time.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:04, Reply)

You're not quite up to TGB standard
but if you really put your mind to it, and you can find enough men, you can probably get pretty close by the time you start Uni. Just remember, sleeping with people to get them to like you is a perfectly legitimate way of making friends.

this

You're not quite up to TGB standard

Tell you what, I could head to the North West via the Midlands and do an intricate "field study" and write up my results in a special OT report. I'm sure I could get a grant from the EPSRC while I'm at it.
( djtrialprice, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:10, Reply)

That sounds like a great idea
remember to record your results carefully preferably in HD.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:11, Reply)

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:15, Reply)

Actually
that probably should have been widescreen, rather than HD.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:21, Reply)

Aha!
So that's where I've been going wrong. I've been trying to do it the other way around.
Does it have to be lots of different men, or will the same one over and over work?

The wider you cast your net
the better chance you have of catching a fish.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:18, Reply)

But I really like this one.
I'm not even bored of him yet.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:23, Reply)

Well,
feel free to keep him over the summer, but if you're heading off in different directions for Uni, probably best to make a clean break of it from the start.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:26, Reply)

This is true.
He's on a gap year next year. We've talked about his, and decided to ignore it til we have to do something about it.
He said: "We could always have a go at it after you leave. Though you'll probably want to be single just for freshers week. That's fine."
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:36, Reply)

Now, he said that
but he didn't mean it.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:39, Reply)

I know. :(
But I'd like to pretend he did.

"Why did you cheat on me, you whore!?"
"Er, you said I could."
This wouldn't really happen. I can't abide cheaters.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:40, Reply)

Just don't tell him
base everything you have together on a lie.

I can't see a problem with this scenario at all.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:49, Reply)

Nope, me neither.
That's what I did with the ex. The lie being there that I actually liked him and was attracted to him.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:50, Reply)

One piece of advice though
never volunteer to be the "victim" of a stage hypnotist. Or, like one of my friends, you'll be forever remembered as the girl that was happily sucking on a sex toy thinking it was a lollipop.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 23 Jul 2009, 15:53, Reply)

Ah, yes.
I'll definitely remember that one.

Yeah I've seen it a few times,
My housemate loves that film and watched it about 10 times. He just about knows what's going on.

Love that film.
At least, I think I do.

It's something that's bugged me since the 3rd Harry Potter book; you DO THAT THING THEY DO IN THE FILM, there's going to be clones of you running around for ever.

I *love* The Wicker Man. EwaWooWa is fantastic in it.
As for weird films I have seen recently. Hmm. Twelve Monkeys, I think. Saw it for the first time and, I realise I may be flamed for this, I didn't like it.

Although i had seen it before i watched it again last night. Brilliant film, touching, poignant and pretty fucked up, mostly because, these people and those lifestyles actually exist.

Highly recommended

Just simply because nothing happens for around 90 mins, then the, ahem, effects and ludicrous happenings occur.

I was thinking, not "What the fuck?", but "Why the fuck?"
