Nothing with too many hearty belly laughs, it was abdominal surgery.
Don’t watch the first few episodes of The Walking Dead while actually in the hospital under heavy opioid medication. That’s how you end up with extremely terrifying and vivid dreams of a zombie apocalypse in the very hospital you’re currently in! Ask me how I know!
I watched 28 Days Later during a delirious fever spell, so I think I understand where you’re coming from, lol.
Requiem for a Dream so you don’t get hooked on them
This is somehow the best AND the worst advice in the whole post.
I mean, add Trainspotting.
With trainspotting you might get some belly laughs in, though.
excellent film
Have fun!
Oh, I’ve heard of this one, but I never got around to it. Sounds like the perfect time to cross it off my list.
Do yourself a favour, watch the directors cut.
Seconded. When I find out how botched the theatrical ending was, I was glad I started with the Director’s version.
Priest. I recommended it in a terrible movies thread. It’s Paul Bettany and Karl Urban in a cowboy/ronin/faith-based militia versus vampires film. Critics gave it 16% fresh.
… seriously. Look at this.
Paul Bettany and Karl Urban
Come for the over-the-top Karl Urban as wild west gothic vampire performance.
Stay for Maggie Q being the only sane and smart person in the entire post-apocalypse.
Seems odd they’d both end up in the same crappy movie together in that year. May not be remembering movie years well but Urban was least in Star Trek and Bettany in Marvel even if only as a voice but assume the plan was to make him Vision from the start.
Was it entertaining at least? It sounds like it could be a fun watch, in theory…like the synopsis of Red Letter Media’s Best of the Worst movies probably do.
It’s based on a comic series, so the bones are good and the critics are all weenies. I ♡ crappy derivative action schlock.
I won’t say it’s always my thing but sometimes a plain action movie with few cheesy lines is all you’re looking for. Definitely saw enough Chuck Norris in the 80s to confirm that.
When I had an abdominal surgery, I watched the full extended cut versions of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy
I did the same when I had surgery and was couch ridden for days. That was great. I then watched the “Tolkien cut” of the hobbit movies
We have a whole community of free movies over at !fullmoviesonyoutube@piefed.social, be sure to check it out!
I was in an altered state of mind while watching the Aquateen Hunger Force movie. I can barely remember anything about the movie, but I know I had a great time!
I KNEW it was going to be that! 😂
WE STILL GOT YOUR FUCKING MONEY!!!
That should be at the beginning of every movie.
Also maybe I’m just fucking old but I think if you bust your cell phone out in a movie theater during the movie you should get punched in the face and have the phone shoved up your ass.
Well at first I was going to suggest Snatch, but after seeing the additional information you wrote maybe wait until after you’re feeling better to watch it lol it’s one of my favorites, but it is a comedy so it might hurt.
One of my favorite movies. Me and my kid laughed our asses off when we watched it together.
What the fuck can he get away from?
Watch some documentaries of opioid addiction. Better safe than sorry.
Tenet might be fun.
When I was on a bunch of painkillers after some surgery I watched Whiplash. Everyone was like “wow that movie was so intense” but I was so numb I didn’t think much about it.
Ooh, I thought of another awesome early 90s wild movie.
The Lawnmower Man
Brainscan
Ohh shit, I know this one. My dad had it on tape and I watched it a few times back in the day. This IS some good mindfuck.
Honesty, it holds up pretty well. Definitely one I go back to every now and then.
I tried to watch Pulp Fiction for the first time as a teen loaded up on oxys after getting my wisdom teeth out. I turned it off after twenty minutes because I realized I had no idea what anyone had said. Great movie, just not good from my perspective when you’re fucked up. Watch something stupid like Face Off
That’s what my parents said about Snatch, and yet no one was on any drugs! I guess the accents were a bit too much to fully comprehend (we are Americans). I love the movie and re-watch it from time to time. May be a generational thing, too.
Ya like dags?
Avi, pull your socks up!
Hell yeah! I was literally coming to the comments to suggest Snatch. One of my favorites for sure
