That’s the point!! You aren’t supposed to like the main guy, he’ll, you probably aren’t really supposed to like ANYONE in the movie. You can say the movie is badly made, but just because you feel angry/dirty afterwards does not make it a bad movie.
Movie clubs for conversations are supposed to outrage you or get you talking about the subject matter, not simply watch a hallmark movie and gush about it” But fine, I digress. Told to pick another movie, yes stimulate conversation but not make it such a downer.
In laws are about half religious, no one particularly devout.
My first question at the movie club night was “so what was the most offensive part?” In laws proceeded to scream at each other about whether it was funny, offensive, bad, or great.
Ok good that’s kind of the point of these kind of clubs…proceed to have picking privileges revoked because “clearly you don’t understand the point of book/movie clubs.”
behrditz
Youre thinking of the "club" as an actual discussion, introspection exercise. They just want "a movie night"
UltraLincoln
Lol, the prophet that was left out of the bible because he was black. Did they miss that line? Do they know what their mouth says?
pirateninjaunicornattacksquad
Sounds like your inlaws are racist rednecks who don't like any of their opinions challenged.
Chandler920
My parents are offended by Coco because the religion doesn't line up with theirs. It's their grandkids' favorite movie.
SolsticeViper
Tell them that they aren't mature enough for a book or movie club. I can say this, bc I won't be there for the fight.
SodomySnake
Man, I loved Nightcrawler. I don't know why anyone would feel bad after watching it unless they're also staging accidents to sell footage.
neospor1n
I think it’s the “yup, accurate portrayal of some people. Man people are garbage”
NomDeImguerre
Can you divorce your Inlaws? They don't seem like good people.
TheS4ndm4n
Yes.
Dustorm
Disliking Alan Rickman not having a penis is fair critique.
neospor1n
Well, sister in law loves Matt Damon and he also doesn’t have a penis in e movie, though we never see it.
Mrgoodshoes
I absolutely loved nightcrawler, but that seems WAY too intense for a movie night. Something safe and casual is the right pick.
neospor1n
Not a movie night- a movie club where you watch it on your own and then discuss later.
electricsillygoose
Next time, watch Flubber. Week after week, over and over. Flubber Flubber Flubber Flubber Flubber. Then die.
neospor1n
Groundhog Day. Over and over
nonickname23
wizoko
Pick Django Unchained next. Or Idiocracy
Xecryo
Ok I guess now they get to watch Human Centipede or Tusk.
BuildingMaintenanceGT
Tusk was weird. Didn't they make a weremoose movie after Tusk? It might've been a fever dream of mine, idk anymore.
neospor1n
I said that In another comment “if they come back for a 3rd round I’m giving them human centipede, just to burn this whole thing down”
Xecryo
Yeah. I was gonna say Alien but then I was like "Nah we need the gross factor" And I saw that comment and said "nailed it!"

Go with “A Serbian Film” I read the Wiki and gawd I can’t stop thinking about how fucked up that is.

Damn that one is a humdinger
gregariouslouganis
Night crawler stressed me out so badly and I had like palpitations. I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, brick, romance and cigs
IFavouriteEveryPostISee
What about Nightcrawler stressed you out?
gregariouslouganis
The tension. If he had gotten caught he would have been in deep shit.
unfortunatelynotdeadyet
Try Jojo rabbit. Fuck them right up.
neospor1n
See that one you kind of know it won’t be happy. Found out recently no one has seen My Girl. I want to ninja kick their emotions with that
Lulabel73
We all know you’re just shit stirring. Pick a “nice” movie if you want to be friends with them or don’t get involved.
johnelway
Right? Read the room…
biffabiffitosparkito
Hahahaha are you me? Spot on comment!
servingmytimeinusersub
Next movie up for discussion : the 5th element.
Lysergian
Solid choice.
LurkMasterP
Sounds like your in-laws should just be watching Hallmark Christmas movies and you can find other people to discuss the real shit with.
neospor1n
That’s what I think it more is. Don’t want any challenge

So.. you're just testing out your prenup agreement? Like.. what's the end goal here aside from saving a shit ton on xmas presents?
neospor1n
Well like any book/movie club. To stimulate conversation and make people think at least a little bit
HeHeHebieJeebies
I applaud your efforts. Drag them kicking and screaming into consciousness. Good luck!
freckledkink
I don't know if I could marry into a family that didn't watch movies like this. Every long term relationship and the one marriage, the
freckledkink
Parents watched these movies, horror, Month Python, and the stuff we (their kids) watched while we were growing up (some of it was pretty

Raunchy, gruesome, and disturbing). Then again, I have issues with my mother, so I looked at people's parent when I dated them.
thedrizzlebringer
Man, if a movie has Alan Rickman in it and doesn’t show his cock. Then I just can’t watch it.
paperfanman
Yeah if he didn’t whip it out when he had Harry Potter in detention, I was gonna turn it off
MugenEXE
How is Harry Potter in your fine estimation? Since they did not show he sorcerers stones and all of that?
paperfanman
Oh they did. You just have to get the exxxtended cut
ohmsett
Galaxy Quest
neospor1n
Well, the movie showed where his cock would be. We also know from other conversations that he has no anus,

Maybe try a fight club instead. But we don't want to hear about it afterward.

yomahnn
I want to hear about it. Just don’t talk about it.
Fruc
“Why aren’t you picking movies that make me feel good or reaffirm my sheltered beliefs!?”
neospor1n
“How about Meet the parents”. Like it’s a perfectly fine comedy, but not exactly a movie that makes you think in any kind of larger view.
DubhIainn
I suggest Restless. It's a documentary about CFS/ME and its devastating effects on life.
skirotica
or The Holiday. so benign they had to castrate Jack Black prior to filming.
LurkMasterP
Interesting experiment. See if they can find something that makes them uncomfortable in even the blandest, most inoffensive family movie.
Fruc
Yeah! Like… “Paul Blart: Mall Cop”
fuelpergallon
I’m offended by the surname.
SugaryBonemeal
Protip: If Ben Stiller is in the movie, it is 90% less likely to provide any amount of mental stimulation.
neospor1n
I dunno. Heavyweights has some social commentary
FuturamaReferences
Pick Midsommar or Hereditary next.
Chromentor
Nah, "A Serbian Film" or "August Underground's Mordum".
Mazena
Cannibal Holocaust
Baughr
Requiem for a dream was a fucked up for me
PatronSaintofKillers
Martyrs
Merky600
You all need to watch a family fun animated film (cartoon), ya know for kids. Like “Graveyard of the Fireflies.”
Utecr
So wholesome
Merky600
Ever see the old 70s movie , “Joe”? That also will not leave you feeling good.
Biomechanicsgirl
Maybe Old Boy, nothing to make them uncomfortable!
pancakenibbles
The VVitch, or maybe The Blackcoat's Daughter?
TheDeathstick
Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom should would be another one to add to the list.
neospor1n
I was telling my wife, if they tell me to pick again, I’m gonna burn this mother to the ground with Human Centipede.
datbiishjuliebean
Dude pick the movie the house jack built. Super fucked up imo
VolCana
Or Feast!! & FEAST 2 SLOPPY SECONDS!!
GammonFaceMcFuckNips
Martyrs but the one from France. Never going to get that film out of my head.
Rheios
It manages to both be pretty much conversation unnecessary and unwatchably disgusting. That'd certainly do it.
syntheticgod8
Anti-Christ if you want to be hated, too.

Give 3 options and have everyone vote. That way, you don’t hold the responsibility solely for what others deem “bad”

I never finished part 2. Like I can stomach a bit of stuff, but it was just a painful watch as a film even started the best of times
thedtp
MrRandom314159
Oh there's WAY more dark shit if you want to burn shit to the ground. I hear there's a film from Serbia that's is legitimately EVIL.

*coughs* a serbian film *coughs* 120 days of Sodom *coughs*

Son of a bitch stole my line

And a very wide selection of Japanese and Korean gore/revenge flicks.

Hahahah I just posted this one as a response to another comment. If you’re gonna sink the boat this movie is the perfect torpedo.
mentallychallengeaccepted
which one?
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
I mean, fuck that'll torpedo near 100% of movie clubs that are totally secular, too. It is....something else.

Best movie about eating shit. +1
smokeyfantastico
Uh excuse me, John Water's Flamingo was the best movie about eating shit

It has the entirety of the phrase “eat shot and die”. Which encapsulates my feelings for all of you at this moment.

Is that movie in anyway related to "Blood Car"?
spoiledbabykitty101
Well now I want to see blood car
Hekatombe
I think you can buy it on Amazon streaming service for like $1 if you are in the US
Merky600
Eraser head, the best first date movie there is. Or watch w pregnant wife. Good times.
moxieCakeBaron
Loved this movie they would hate it
Hambonerhandy
Man that was awful. Interesting sort of format, but awful for entertainment purposes.
TheSpindrifter
What's not to love about a VW Jetta Mk III tire going walkabout? My wife hated it but damn if that wasn't riveting, in the "How can this >

possibly get worse?" kind of way.

I was expecting something more along the lines of maximum overdrive.

"I hated that it had a black prophet."

Have you ever actually seen someone from the Levant? By non-European standards they're pretty light-skinned.

Not in the whitewashed evangelical churches they aren’t.

Brown, bronze, olive, off-white, tan, beige, mahogany, and if you were lower class/caste: shit brown from farming in a desert.

Let's not forget that anyone today exhibiting behavior like prophets, would be in a mental health facility.

But they weren't "Black". They were pretty much all Jewish. I wouldn't be black just if I got a really dark tan.
neospor1n
To super white people, the other end of the color spectrum start to blue together.
RunawaySpoons
The Ethiopian eunuch probably was. There's not much evidence either way for any of the 'main characters' but given where the Bible accounts
RunawaySpoons
took place, it's extremely likely black people were around (travelling and trade) for much of the later stuff with the apostles at least.

I think it was less overt racism and more so “I believe Jesus and everyone else in the Bible was white like me, all the paintings he’s white
RamsesMCMXCI
That's still overtly racist.
Saigon333
Believing that everyone good in the Bible was white IS overt racism, though.
ThePastmaster
I find it interesting that when I went to school, all the crosses and pictures of Jesus, he was tanned. Even in church.
VolCana
They missed the entire point of the movie. Kinda sad.

Yea, I tried to show them videos from one of the protests where Kevin smith is holding a sign. They didn’t get the humor in him protesting

So overt racism
