Title: Anyone else think Saw should be banned?
Post by: zuhane on November 11, 2010, 04:45:28 AM
I just watched Saw 6. It opened with a woman screaming in agony and having to cut her arm off with a hatchet
in order to stop a drill from penetrating her skull and killing her.

At one scene, there was an old woman with a family with razorwire round her neck which was ripping her throat apart.

There was also a scene where a woman who was pregnant got a door slammed into her womb which resulted in a miscarriage.

The sequence of events was justified because the people didn't "value life" or hasn't been valued themselves. Seriously. What the
****? I hope whoever created this movie actually gets shot and dies. It's a ****ing disgrace. I actually feel sick. The acting was appauling,
the plot was terrible, and it was just morbidly disgusting and horrific. how can anybody gain any enjoyment from watching that?

I'm all for violence and vigilanteism. Heck, Dexter is my favourite show on TV, but watching innocent people tied up being mutilated and dying
horrific, slow, agonising deaths is just putrid. Seriously. What's the appeal?

These movies suck.
Not entirely for the gorn, too.
They're just **** movies.
I watched like, 10 minutes of the first one and thought that it was a commercial due to how fucked up the editing was.

I have never watched one, and I plan to keep it that way.

I seriously regret it. I feel sick and repulsed.

I remember liking the first one. But I never watched any of its sequels. I remember laughing when I heard a fourth one was coming out. Now there's six of 'em? Kind of scary considering all that means is they sell. Which means there's a market for "watching innocent people tied up being mutilated and dying horrific, slow, agonising deaths".

I agree with you, I don't see the fascination with horror movies that err on the side of scaring you by making you want to vomit.

The first one is very, very good. It's a thriller, and any gore isn't shown, just implied.
After that it was sold off to a completely different company for the plethora of torture porn sequels.

I've seen the first three, and have been told that 3 is the last good one.

I think the people who watch and enjoy gorn are subtly sadistic. I'm not saying they're future serial killers, but let's just say I wouldn't date anyone who liked Saw or Hostel.

Can't ban them. Damn rights. But yes, I do find the entire concept of getting thrills out of watching horrible tortures a really worrying thing.
Title: Re: Anyone else think Saw should be banned?
Post by: zuhane on November 11, 2010, 02:15:33 PM
I was worried that maybe I was just weird by not liking them. The guy who thinks them
up must actually be insane to some degree!

Hostel was really sick, too, but at least it had some form of thriller-ism in it. There was
an actual realistic chance of him getting away. It wasn't some sick game with a disgusting
death at the end.

Post by: Zerlina on November 11, 2010, 04:20:25 PM
I went to see Saw 3 one halloween. There was so much wrong with the movie, with the idea of the movie, and with the audience cheering it on. I don't understand how anyone could actually enjoy these films without being a very disturbed individual.
Not to mention it makes our laws really questionable. You can't depict explicit rape, but you can show graphic torture and murder in sometimes semi-erotic positions? In Saw 3 they had a young, naked woman hanging in a meat locker being tortured and killed...I'm sure there's some weirdo out there who was turned on by it- in fact, that seems to be the intent.
Yeah, I agree with Val- liking Saw is a deal-breaker. I'd always be wondering what kind of sick thoughts they were having.
Title: Re: Anyone else think Saw should be banned?
Post by: ellie-is on November 11, 2010, 04:29:51 PM
Yeah, Saw sucks.

I mean, really. If Jean-Claude Van Damme or Stallone shoots an army dude in the head, stabs another on his intestines and then explodes another one with a grenade in his mouth: **** yeah, thats awesome, I love this kind of movie.
But when innocent people are being tortured just for the hell of it? Dude, thats just wrong. Pointless, exaggerated violence. I like pointless violence against unnamed thugs. I don't mind the Ong Bak 2 fella killing a whole damn army, because they are bad and he's a badass dude, but when there is one psycho slicing guys to pieces and murdering babies... And people enjoy it... Those people need help. :/
unrelated, but ong bak 1 was much better than 2. in fact both movies have nothing to do with each other save the name. but there was no murdering of armies in one, so I had to quote 2. Also, look, Sai! I used small size in a non spammy way.

I'm a strange bird here. I love the idea of elaborate torture, but I'm sickened by seeing it in action. Also, I'd prefer to keep miscarriage away from anything. What the fruck.
Title: Re: Anyone else think Saw should be banned?
Post by: Prpl_Mage on November 11, 2010, 08:47:02 PM
Saw 1 was actually worth seeing, there was a meaning behind it. Person being bad, and his stalker tied up in the same room. Especially the end with that there person doing that there thing.
Sure, no happy ending but at least it was something.

Lately it's just been stupid and pointless ways to kill people.
I doubt anyone would enjoy life after going through all that. Personally I would bite my own tongue off to avoid it all together.
Title: Re: Anyone else think Saw should be banned?
Post by: Cerebus on November 11, 2010, 10:44:25 PM
Extreme violence, gore and dismembering can be a good show. When there isn't too much. However, in Saw, it's pretty much only that.
I mean, having some poor innocent fella getting his arms ripped after some psychopath or nightmarish creature chased him or whatever is kinda tolerable.
But having people stuck in traps where they need to rip off their own arm to survive for half the movie isn't.

I didn't hate the movies I watched, but I didn't enjoy them much. There is a difference between Horror and Free Violence just for fun.

I hear the first one's good but I haven't seen any. I certainly don't think they should be banned though. Do you really want more restriction?  Just don't go see it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say, there's no real reason for banning it. Just don't watch.

Banning is rarely a good option. I tend feel that everything is alright, or nothing is alright, so banning just isn't something I can really get behind.

Actually from what I've heard the scene in Saw 3 (I don't really remember it myself) isn't supposed to be erotic at all, just horrifying.
And yeah, the US especially seems to be much more stringent on sex than violence.
Title: Re: Anyone else think Saw should be banned?
Post by: HackersTotalMassLaser on November 12, 2010, 10:23:13 AM
I thought the first saw was good. It didn't really have gore on it and it was thrilley. The goriest part was when they have amanda flashbacking, and that was it. I don't remember the beginning sequence much. But it really didn't have gore. I was expecting (like expecting the movie to show me not that I wanted it) to show the actual severing of the foot... or maybe they did and I havent watched it in a while.

From the 2nd on, it's all garbage.


However I'll admit that I've follow Wikipedia's read on the plot of the  movies.
Title: Re: Anyone else think Saw should be banned?
Post by: drenrin2120 on November 12, 2010, 01:06:52 PM
Yeah, the first one left a lot of things to your imagination, which made it watchable. The other ones just got really graphic and made you kind of sick.

My friend started saying "At least it's better than Dexter!" and "Dexter is stupid. The story is ****." How dare he
use "Saw" and "Dexter" in the same sentence. They're completely different in every thinkable way possible. That like saying
that Mean Girls is better than The Deer Hunter or something!!!

EDIT: He's not even watched Dexter!!!

How many episodes have you watched? I've loved it so far. The only disappointing season
was 3 in my opinion, but the last few episodes perked up a lot, and it was an important season
I suppose!

seasons 1 and 2 are the best I've watched. Four was pretty good. I never actully watched 3. =\ Lot of people don't like 3 or 4. 5 ain't bad, I'm pretty sure it'll be the last season.

I loved seasons 1 and 2.

In greatness order:

Season 1 = The almighty king!!!
Season 4 = Fantastic!
Season 5 = Really great up to now!
Season 2 = Very enjoyable to watch
Season 3 = Not as good as any of the others, but has some useful plot points and has its moments. The end of the season
really picks up and hits Dexter standards again.

Anyway, yeah. Saw is repulsive!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(

I did too!

And to clarify with the miscarriage. The lady was Jigsaw's wife and Amanda was a junkie at the time who knew his wife. She had her boyfriend rob the clinic Jig's wife worked at but hit her with the doorknob by accident. This was only showing you what led the man to do what he was doing.

In the beginning when it was only Jigsaw, he made puzzles in order to make people fight for their lives. However, he didn't realize how sick in the head his other partners are and Amanda and the other guy who's name I forgot took it too far. That is why it has gotten much more gore.

If you look past the OMGURGUTSRONDAFLOOR part, it actually has a decent plot.

I like the series even tho I do believe they did overkill on it.

I also liked the Hostel series. But I guess I'm just a fan of serious horror/gore flicks...or a serial killer in the making. ;3

Ya right. You be cringin, and hidin your face under that pillow.

Hostel was more torture oriented than Saw btw ppl.

The last 3-4 Saw movies had to do with a guy who tried to follow  an already fallacious set of mind and failed to the extreme.

Horror games are only horrory the first time you play them. Resident evil for example, you have no idea what you're facing or where there might be zombies hidden. And then we have the remake of the first game which added those bloody crimson heads.
Second time you play it - you know when that local citizen is going to bust out off the stack with cardboardboxes and what you need to save your ammo for. So the horror is rather removed and only survival remains.
Well if you don't count Resident evil 4 and those darn Regenerators. Their very presence still bothers me.

Thing is, there's no running in diablo and the butcher was fast. He was stuck in this room, I enter he makes some noise while standing around a bloody floor with dead guys. Nothing I did seemed to kill him either since I didn't really knew what I were doing.
Scariest things are the things that won't die. Well if you don't count tons of small leeches thingies trying to eat you.

FRESH MEAT!

And yeah, I was pretty young too. Would always watch the whole intro though. It kind of sucks you into it, you can't move enough to press the button to skip it.

also, I played Diablo 1 on the PSX instead. Not that it makes any difference, but I thought I should point it out.

Having something like that in your sig for a week or so is for comedic effect. After that, it's for different reasons.

I still stand by my statement. I still laugh at how Gurren and Lagann (much like Simon and Kamina) react to it.

Believe me, if what you're saying is true, I would have kept either one of these in my sig:

Or this if trully I would be as you think of me, I would have chosen this one, which I am spoiler tagging cause it might be considered really NSFW, No nudity or anything, but gif format makes it suggesting, since it loops, and it doesn't suppose to.

Its a cultural thing, I guess. "Beauty" is a term with so many different meanings. Look at a "pretty" girl. Why is she pretty and another one ugly? Small details on the proportions in their faces make you think that. But why are we attracted to one set of features and not another one? I have no friggin clue.

So, rewinding a little bit, I used to be a bit of a pussy. Everything scared me (look back for my victory over OoT thread), so all the things you guys are mentioning were childhood fears.

But then I was 16, and it all became un-intimidating. The Butcher was all "Ah! Fresh meat!", and I was all "**** your mother!", and things went beautifully from there. The room with a zombie in RE went from "Gah! Where's the power button?!" to "Gah, why can't Jill aim for his head? I need those bullets!". And of course, the chatter-jawed Deku Baba went from archfiend nemesis to beautifully trimmed lawn.

So I used to be frightened by things (more so than most), but it all just ceased to be at a certain point. Now, I just sort of hope that the games are fun, because nothing horror is horrifying anymore. Movies are becoming more about gore (which never terrified me, but always repulsed me), and games are becoming more about action (which is kind of nice, since they're not scaring me anyway. I do miss the attempt to create a creepy atmosphere and high-pressure puzzles and exploration, though). It's not really the best direction, if you ask me.

I'm proud of you Archem. A whole post and no mentioning no boobs even though there was a slight boob discussion.

Also yeah, if I replay diablo now I can laugh of the guy lying in front of the church all cut open and slay the butcher.
I can kill all them zombies and shoot those regenerators.
But when playing a new horror game I keep asking myself "How much do they want to mess with my head?" While walking down a corridor. Will there be bugs coming out of those vent shafts? Is there something behind that door? What happens if I press this button? Why does the sign says danger? Why am I falling down into a pit of spiders now?

'cuz if I directed a horror game then I'd be a total *** and throw whatever possible at you and also add some kind of randomize so that they do not spawn on the same location every time. Kinda like clocktower...
Title: Re: Anyone else think Saw should be banned?
Post by: Archem on November 16, 2010, 07:46:55 PM
The only horror game that I could think of that might still be able to scare me would be Eternal Darkness. I've never played it, but all the things I hear about it suggest that it has exactly what I need to be scared.

Even if only a little bit.

My fearlessness isn't a result of playing now what I feared then, and overcoming a longtime terror. I'm simply not frightened by things anymore. People tell me of the fear in Bioshock and DOOM 3, and I can only wonder how they can feel that way. Of course, I believe those games are a bit low on the horror scale, but they're just examples.

I like the creepy ambiance in Silent Hill, but I am not scared by it. Only things that might "frighten" me are sudden weird noise or creature/people/whatever appearing right in front of me (or both at the same time!) but that's not being scared, more like a little unexpected thing that makes me step. After the first time, it's gone.

Not that I play scary games ever on purpose,
but the last scary thing to happen in a game for me was in Stalker.

So I was down early game, running about in some sewers as you do, looking for that pesky Strelok's secret stash. Eventually I've run the course of this skanky place, and I've had my fill of soldiers and invisible bloodsuckers constantly trying to ruin my ****. According to my map, the exit is just a few rooms ahead. I have done it. I am out, and scot free.
I turn the corner. It's a long narrow room that leads to another long narrow room with the exit. Too easy.
I'm halfway there when THE CAMERA IS TAKEN OUT OF CONTROL AND I LOOK BEHIND MYSELF AND THERE'S SOME CTHULHU FACED THING WITH HIS ARM RAISED SENDIN ALL SORT OF PSYCHIC BLASTS UP MY ****.
I run the other way. I'm getting damaged by the blasts but I keep running. I make it up the ladder, back to the over world.

Thank god that's over.


But wait.
What's this?


On my map, I have not completed the objective. I swear to myself, realising I forgot to do the thing I went down there to do in the first place. There's no dicking way I'm going back down there now, though.

I've surfaced in the middle of some military camp, so I kill my way out as carefully as possible, and eventually I am back at the sewer entrance.
So I figure, well this is easy. I go down, find the objective, go back the way I came and win without ever having to face my literal demon. Well, mutant.
And so I do; I get there, find the chest and I'm about to head back when... I look at the map.
It tells me to leave via the exit. It's the only way. To complete the mission, I have to leave via the exit.

Dreading the inevitable but at least armed with some knowledge, I head to the end, trudging through these eeriely deserted sewers (because you know, I killed everything). As I reach the corner, I equip the most powerful weapon I have, a sawnoff shotgun with little ammo. What I am expecting is to turn the corner, reach that halfway point and then have to run back and kill this thing.

What happens catches me off guard completely, when I turn the corner and he is there, standing, waiting for me at the end of this first room. He raises his hand, the mind blasts start. I run in, shooting as fast as possible. By the time I make it near the end of the room, I have almost run out of shells, but he is dead. He didn't have any loot, so that was awful.

In conclusion, I don't think they should ban Saw because I am not a big set of girl parts. No disrespect to you Zuhane, as you made my signature.

Long story about how Razor's a pussy.
I remember that. Oddly enough, I made a similar mistake with having to re-walk the sewers. I mean, it didn't scare me, but that's because I have an iron will.

I loved that game. It was so perfect in all the ways that really mattered (except for the massive bugginess, of course).

Gotta tell you, Razor, that if that scared you, I can't imagine what it was like when you went through the place with the psychic monsters that kept making random **** fly at you and setting you on fire (assuming you've already played up to that part).

It was the closest I'd been to being genuinely frightened since I was 15. I was tense as hell, which is about the best anything can do to me these days.

Tension is my new fear, and nobody knows how to create it properly.

Violence in games - it's cool, it's just graphics and sounds.
In movies - it's worse.

My parents only had one rule for what games I could play as a kid though - only games that didn't involve killing other people. I could pass with all final fantasy games and even diablo (Although the death sounds of those dark ranger enemies in D2 made them mighty suspicious).
But when it came to movies - I could watch good ol' Arnold and Sly shoot people bloody and watch crazy people eat brains in indiana jones.
