F that. Lust guy gave me nightmares and I was 20.
No Grave of the Fireflies?
Never saw the movie but this was my favorite book as a young boy. Still get misty eyed about the part at the end when Old Dan dies after tangling with the mountain lion.
They totally forgot to include that part in Manos: the Hands of Fate when Torgo tries to…I dunno…kinda hit on the dude’s wife…or whatever it was. FREAKY!!
This is the saddest cartoon of all the time. Fortunately I was only able to see it as an adult.
You’re right, it’s just flat out a traumatizing movie to watch. Certainly that’s the point of it, it’s absolutely worth watching but it’s a soul crushing story to experience.
One of my fave MST3K movies they’ve ever done
0:34 and the creepy bug is the anxiety induced by all the crap that happened this year
I forgot two Star Trek things that traumatized me- That Which Survives, which had the women who would appear out of nowhere, say “I am for you” and kill with a touch- that gave me literal nightmares. And in the “Making of Star Trek” book I had to always be careful to skip the page that had the giant picture of Balok’s puppet (these are from being like 4 or 5 years old)
Pssh.
Aside from the ear-slug scene from the Wrath of Khan, all of that was way tame to me, jaded as I have been for at least the last 30 years.
No, this is what harshed my fuckin’ mellow, and I wasnt even a little kid when I saw it:
Anyone here seen The Cat’s Eye TV show? The scene with the creature sucking up the kid’s life force really creeped me tf out.
Also looking back at it i had no idea that was Drew Barrymore
I didn’t get around to watching Cool World until I was an adult and I just remember getting angry with how bad it was because I was such a big fan of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and this movie felt like it wanted to be a grittier version of that but didn’t know where to begin.
Starting with the premise:
Cartoon guy: Welcome to Cool World, human! I’m glad you’re here, you can be our new cop!
Brad Pitt: What laws do you need me to enforce?
Cartoon guy: There’s actually only one law in Cool World: humans can’t have sex with cartoons. Because that would destroy our universe, or something.
Brad Pitt: But I can have sex with other humans here, right?
Cartoon guy: There are no other humans here.
Brad Pitt: …?
That was a movie, not a series.
And, yep; the little troll in the wall trying to steal her breath kinda freaked me out, even as a teen.
I’ve heard some of the background for the original pitch of the movie, it got quite a few rewrites and even as they were making it they made a lot of last minute changes so the end result was a hot mess. Visually and somewhat conceptually it’s promising but the actual movie is really not good.
Yes. Last Starfighter scene is a solid addition.
And the scene with the decoy robot? His forming head was frightening and made me jump from the theater seat.
I love the reaction of the guy on the right at 0:15. “Okay?”
Hah, that’s the one episode I remember, though I saw tons of them. I think I had one of the space ships as a toy: which was pretty much the same quality as the props themselves, whatever that says.
