Only one I've ever seen is the original Straw Dogs. And, yes very difficult to watch. Not because it was a bad movie, just very uncomfortable. Sort of like the "Ear Scene" in Reservoir Dogs.

Seen Bad Lieutenant a loong time ago, or at least 9 years ago. I don't remember it much.Stupidly bought Grave of the Fireflies which is an excellent flick but have never watched since.Leaving Las Vegas. My roommates loved this movie so I saw it a lot.United 93 I actually saw twice for some reason.The Last House on the Left is one of my favorite horror movies. I have seen it more than once.Audition was great but yeah, once is enough.

I liked Bowfinger a lot.
Did someone not like Bowfinger? I don't want to meet that person.

Did anyone watch the Charlie sheen roast? This Anthony Jeselnik cat was very very funny."What can you say about Mike Tyson that has'nt already been the title of a Richard Pryor album."....crowd silent.....One of the roasters, who is black, finally says, "oh, shit." [That Nigger's Crazy]Jeselnik says (pointing at black guy) "He gets it."Black dude, "Too many white people!"Jeselnk (says nearly instantly in response): "Too many white people? You know what no one ever says? Too few black people."

Ho-lee shit, just watched the new Community. It picked up where it left off (amazing, one of the top 2 or 3 comedies on tv), but the ho-lee shit part was that Omar Little unexpectedly showed up. Very unexpectedly. Michael K. Williams, that is.Edit: The 2001 bit at the end was pretty good.
