I have hidden all the sharp and/or under ripe implements in the house.

StrawberryTot · 25/02/2013 01:09

Agreed Comp but there's always a movie clip during the adverts 'tomorrow's film at 9. VAN DAM/ SEGAL take on an army of blah blah blah' Grin

ComposHat · 25/02/2013 01:17

Showgirls is on quite a lot too.

Featuring my favourite lines of film dialogue:

"You've got great tits"

"i like having great tits"

Ingmar Bergman must be shitting himself.

Compo and that seen in which Kyle MacLachlan looks like he was fucking a fish in the swimming pool, how totally unsexy was that scene.

ComposHat · 25/02/2013 01:30

uggggh yes. I now want to wash my mind out!

NoMoreMarbles · 25/02/2013 01:31

I would be shocked if it was on cbeebies but channel 5? They show an awful lot of shite so 'SAW 100:the one at the end of a long and gory day' fits in nicelyGrin

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 25/02/2013 01:33

Channel 5 have gone upmarket now, remember when they showed all those softcore pornos, not that i ever watched them Hmm

ComposHat · 25/02/2013 01:39

oh yes the Red Shoe Diaries!

The internet giving ready access to grot probably did for the softcore porn films.

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 25/02/2013 01:42

Infact, Channel 5 had alot of smut on.

ScarletLady02 · 25/02/2013 07:50

Ooh yes GregBishopsBottomBithc - thousands of "Erotic Thrillers" with Shannon Tweed in them Grin

SpinningBirdKick · 25/02/2013 12:37

What gets me is that Channel four (or Film4) haven't shown Saw 5 or 6 yet- so we're out of sync with the (very shallow) storyline!
For instance- the people in the support group are from Saw 5/6-

Not that you're missing much, mind!

mrsjay · 25/02/2013 12:44

why are you surprised at them being aired it is a gore/horror film on late it was in the cinema and on DVd so why not on telly I hate saw but i dont see why they shouldnt show it,

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 25/02/2013 12:45

I watched the first Saw, realised it was shit, didnt bother with the rest. Im ashamed to admit that i just keep watching everything Paranormal Activity that comes out.

badtasteflump · 25/02/2013 12:47

YABU. It's after the watershed & all that...

It's also a crap film but so are most of the ones on channel 5 Smile

mrsjay · 25/02/2013 12:49

Im ashamed to admit that i just keep watching everything Paranormal Activity that comes out.

are we not on paranormal activity 10 or something Grin ch5 show sex shows disguised as 'educational and informative' saw is a nothing, ere im old enough to remember the red triangle on channel 4 Blush

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 25/02/2013 13:08

Number 5 will be out in October, MrsJay, im kinda willing on to scare the shit out of me, coz im a wimp, but they just dont manage it.

Stangirl · 25/02/2013 13:12

The first one is brilliant. I also enjoyed the others but then I love that kind of thing.

The first one though is clever and well made the sequels are not.

Fakebook · 25/02/2013 13:40

I loved the SAW films until I got to the 5th or 6th one where the detective disappeared in some glass container or something at the end. It got boring. I still don't know who was carrying out the final games.

SAW is better than Human Centipede IMHO.

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 25/02/2013 13:55

There is one film i've heard of but never seen called Serbian Film, apparently its meant to be absolutely disgusting, my friend used to work at blockbuster, when the customer brought the DVD back, horrified, she snapped the disc.

BlueSkySunnyDay · 25/02/2013 13:58

meh! I dont like horror, I dont watch it.

Not my place to say what channels show or other people should watch!

SPBInDisguise · 25/02/2013 13:58

I read the wikipeedia entry for that, it is disgusting and has stayed with me since. I wish I hadn't, though in a way I'm glad as Dh brought home a load of films he'd borrowed from a colleague and I could tell him a tiny bit about it to stop him watching it. Good on her for snappping it. I actually question the motives of the person/people who wrote it Tbh. It is sick. And I've seen saw and quite a lot of gory horror.

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 25/02/2013 14:01

SPB I also read the wiki entry, it nearly made me sick, you'd have to have a strong stomach to watch that. And a weird imagination to actually make something like that.

fromparistoberlin · 25/02/2013 17:17

greg

what kind of twat gets a serbian film out? jesus, shit for brains! read the back cover

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 25/02/2013 17:22

No idea, but my friend was assistant manager, she hated having disgusting shit like that in her shop.

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 25/02/2013 17:23

I've watched it. I didn't realise it was nearly as bad or graphic as it was.

I have honestly never been as affected by a film as I have that, I cried and had nightmares after it. It's fucking horrible and the film makers should be put in prison.

Apparently it's 'art' .
