Pretty Angelica is dying of unnatural wank...
So, I was morbidly curious about this whole "Chaos" thing- it's showing a few blocks from my house. I noticed a big blow up outside the theatre of Ebert's review. Went to do some net.research and lo and behold, there is wank! There's a huge amount of tl;dr and pseudointellectual blather on IMDB (is anyone surprised?) on the board for Chaos. So, I'll just try and sum up the wankier threads for you while providing links and hopefully some funny.

And if it's not all that funny, at least it's not more goddamn Harmonywank, eh?

"This film sucks!" "You didn't even see the film!" "I'm 19, so I'm superior to you!"
Best comment of this thread: "And I think it's funny that you have an obvious hard-on for all the tawdry, sticky details in this "film." It is obvious that your demand for evidence is simply to goad him into revealing visceral "red bits" of the movie only so that you might spank your crank to it." from CoyoteKiller
and "We didn't know this movie was your BOYFRIEND!" from singularity1111

"I'm a filmmaker!" "No you're not!" "Yes I am!" "He doesn't have to prove he's a filmmaker!" "Ted Bundy committed crimes because of porn!" "No he didn't!"
Best quote: "YOU posted your opinion on this message board and you don't see me asking for "evidence" that you are an illiterate Colobus monkey, do you?"

"This shit does not take skill, people"
Featuring thejasonbaskeyexperience's HOT new idea for a grindhouse film: "As the man is forced to saw through his own wang, he passes out from the pain and his bloody, mice-eaten, fingernail-less corpse burns to ashes...which the crazy guy later puts in his coffee and drinks...while mastubating." (excerpt)

"I worked on this film!".
"Let me tell you that the people who made this film (De Falco, Bernheim, Parry, etc.) are talented-less, ego-centric imbecils in their forties who wear black-leather pants and black leather jackets as if they were rockstars. ... This folks don't even know how to spell "art", they should never be allowed to use such a word."

The film is accused all over the place and in various threads of being nothing more than a remake of Wes Craven's Last House on the Left- "just like Gus Van Sant's Psycho." Various arguments take place over whether this is actually true or not.

"If you like this movie see a shrink!"
Human brains are loaded with what are called 'mirror neurons' - which cause you to vicariously experience things you see. They greatly facilitate the process of learning by example - i.e. when you watch someone do something, it's easy to mimic them because on some level, you experienced it along with them. This is also why when you're watching a sports event, you may actually wince when you see someone get injured. It's also why when you watch a movie, you can connect with the characters, and feel like you're there with them.

Now, if you watch a movie about brutal torturers - and you find yourself connecting with THEM and sharing in their gleeful cruelty - well, I'd really hope you'd be shocked, apalled and repulsed.

But in all seriousness - if you saw this film and felt amused or pleased when watching the torture sequences - please - for the public good and the welfare of yourself and everyone around you - please - REALLY -make an appointment to talk to a psychiatrist as soon as possible!


Even the pros themselves are wanking hard, as Roger Ebert
writes a scathing review, the filmmakers reply, and Ebert fires back with his own special brand of tl;dr.

ADD'L: David Hess (star/villain of "Last House on the Left") posts dirt on his message board wherein he flat out states that the film -is- a ripoff of Last House, that the director is an asshole, and the whole thing is 'trash'. Hehe.

I laughed when John Travolta blew the head off of some random human in Battlefield Earth. I suppose that makes me a sociopath/serial murderer in the making.

Shit, man, Bruce Campbell cutting off his own hand with a chainsaw in Evil Dead II is one of my favorite movie scenes EVER. Why am I not locked away in a padded room by now?


Oh. Right. Because it's not real.

The wank itself was pretty tl;dr, but thanks to Mr. Ebert's review I now have no intention of seeing the movie. As much as I like true crime novels, I really hate seeing that sort of thing on screen. *is chicken*

This movie is a remake of Last House on the Left, right? If that's the case, y'know, I really *do* have to wonder about people who love the movie. I'm not sure if you can compare it to the glossier, glitzier action adventure films of Hollywood. And unintentional comedies such as Battlefield Earth.

(Saw Last House on the Left back in college. *shudders*)

1) Reviews only count if you haven't got the strength of mind to have an individual opinion.

And a small fortune to see every single crappy movie on the planet to make your mind up about them, of course.

um... er... I just read the summery on imdb... it sounds like a rather un-interesting snuff film. IMDB forums are terribly funny. I love the people that go onto actor's pages just to start pages and pages about how much they hate them. Constructive use of your time right there.

I can't be the only person who's completely bored by this whole thing.

I mean, damn, American Psycho (the book) came out in 1991, and the cannabalism/violence didn't squick me then. Considering what's popped up on the internet since (hellooo Pain Series!), these poor filmmakers are going to have to try a lot harder to freak our generation out.

Well, that's another ten bucks I can use to buy manga instead.

In other news, game, set and match to Ebert for this quote from his reply to the filmmakers:

Your real purpose in making "Chaos," I suspect, was not to educate, but to create a scandal that would draw an audience.

Oh, bizzurn!

Maybe it's my personal bias for loving Ebert so much, but he doesn't seem horribly wanky - he seems right. I guess he or even the filmmakers can't com pare to idiots on IMDB.

I found Ebert's tone a bit pretensious at points, but this bit rules.

You begin the film with one of those sanctimonious messages depicting the movie as a "warning" that will educate its viewers and possibly save their lives. But what are they to learn? That evil people will torture and murder them if they take any chances, go to parties, or walk in the woods?

The filmmakers remind me of art students who slap a bunch of random crap together and then defend it as art by making up long winded excuse, like saying it's a social commentary or some other crap.

So, "Chaos" = shitty modern art.

I'm put in mind of a game my high school ex would play with his brother. They'd both sit around and whack each other across the hand, harder and harder, until one of them flinched. They couldn't explain why or how it qualified as entertainment but they kept doing it anyway.

Am I the only one that found this funny...

and isn't IMDB the king of all king of wank? I mean isn't there a wank on every forum.

maybe imbd and harmionians should get married and have a bunch of wanker...or maybe that's a bad idea

All I have to say that hasn't been said is that for some reason "I didn't know the film was YOUR BOYFRIEND!" jumped out at me while I was skimming the wank, and now I have that line from "Young Frankenstein" in my head, "He vass mein BOYFRIEND!"

Also, though:
thejasonbaskeyexperience's HOT new idea for a grindhouse film: "As the man is forced to saw through his own wang, he passes out from the pain and his bloody, mice-eaten, fingernail-less corpse burns to ashes...which the crazy guy later puts in his coffee and drinks...while mastubating." (excerpt)

But I thought that's what "Saw" was about?

Over on The Horror Channel's message boards concidering how heavily we've sporked this film already along with the DeFalco and Bernheim, we're waiting for when they'll start wanking excessively that 'you can't handle our film'.

Truth is, we just don't tolerate drek, and with how much the movie's website is trumped up bs, we're not buying into it. We might be eager for good edgy horror but we're not morons.
