who didnt see that coming

Why do you ******s take this guy seriously? I mean he just doing his job which is to be a ridiculous ass so that people watch his show, it's entertaining as all hell but anyone with half a brain doesn't take it seriously, seriously you guys are lamer than Keith Olberman, the liberal O'Rielly

Th Passion of the Christ wasn't the most sadistic movie ever made. "House of thousand corpses" is what I would call "sadistic".

I didn't say it was the most sadistic movie ever made. Learn to read.

And House of thousand corpses isn't particularly sadistic relative to the modern horror market. Its underlying humor and taste for pulp nostalgia counter any real potential for an exercise in sadism.

Unless you want to argue that any of the just 30 movies ever that made more money than Passion of the Christ was more sadistic than it, or that it wasn't a sadistic movie, then what I said cannot be denied. And if you want to argue either you're a dope.

He's independent in the sense that he just says he is so that he doesn't appear as much of a neo-con fascist as he usually does.

sorry that my sarcasm didn't translate well in that post.

sadly, some people do take him seriously. i've seen those stupid "boycott france" bumper stickers he shills on his website on cars around town and i've met people who actually fall for the crap he spews.

Yeah, you have no idea what you're talking about.

"House" was an affectionate homage to over the top B grade gorefest horror flicks, the cartoonish violence was far from sadistic.

"Passion" was practically a snuff film, with a tacked on "Christ died for your sins!!!" message.

And please don't ever compare anything made by the infinitely awesome Rob Zombie to anything involving Mel Gibson. 'Cept maybe Payback, Conspiracy Theory, and the Mad Max movies.

I agree with whoever said that most modern horror is simply gore and not horror at all. I don't consider 99% of most modern horror movies scary in any way, shape, or form. They're more comparable to a taped biological dissection. I mean, seriously, they give us ridiculously stereotyped characters noone can associate with, so we WANT them to die rather than fear what could kill them. And we typically get our wishes in the most profoundly unnecessary ways possible.

Why do you think that the scene in "Psycho" where we see blood hitting the floor of the shower while hearing the shower running and the creepy music is considered one of the best scenes in horror history? We KNOW she's getting stabbed but it's not the sight of the stabbing that frightens us, it's the sickening imagery and unsettling psychology that gets us going.

I'm typically freaked out by movies that show LESS (and therefore are more realistic) than show more. As much as I HATE some really stupid factors in the plot, the movie Signs was scarier for me than all of the Saw movies combined, and the scariest part about it was playing on the natural FEARS of the human being, the unknown. Such as the scene where they board up the house and hear things pounding on the window, and the dog being killed.

Sorry lasagna brains from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you're nothing more to me than a lesson in anatomy.

In short, though I believe Bill O'Reilly is a piece of ****, I agree that these movies are unnecessary. Maybe I disagree with him over the morality, but I also hate these "horror" movies that bore the snot out of me.

you were making some good points untill you brought up texas chainsaw massacre which is one of the most confused films in history, the "ultra violence" is never seen its always off screen. on your subject of psycho yes it was shot superbly and left the viewing public to make up the stabbing, but hitchcock himself even said it was filmed that way due to the times, it would quite interesting if the man had lived to modern days to get his views on films or even how he would have approached them

this was a cross post from a horror movie message board, living in the uk i've never seen o'reilly's show, only what i've read on the net, and judging from pasts threads on this site about him i thought it would make for a good disscussion, which it has.
