movies where the whole thing is basically just one character getting pwned the whole time

movies where the whole thing is basically just one character getting pwned the whole time

(my 3rd what about bob related post today)

2. Stroszek (1977)

3.) evil dead 2

4. Brick

5. The Pink Panther

6. swingers

6a. made

swingers is not an acceptable answer

omg wtf it so is

they all get pwned at one point or another, including self-pwns, and the most pwned dude wins in the end

lol gabbneb seriously on a suggest ban rampage today

so you think bc more than 1 character gets pwned it does not qualify? dude "winning" is totally subjective, btw.

Totally subjective? He gets a serious shot at what none of the others have.

Hey, let's turn our filmcrit over to the behind enemy lines guy

she sucks, btw

It's the character not the actress

meet the parents/fockers
dennis
home alone
chris farley films
freddy got fingered

of course it's the character!

it's the movie, not the actor.

I thought this thread was about movies like "The Game" starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn.

what's that movie from a few years ago where a couple get stranded in the middle of the ocean and just wait around til the sharks eat them?

also, The Naked Prey

Open Water

altho that's 2 characters, my bad

oh god that movie was so bad

u got pwned the whole time

fooled into wasting 2 hrs on my uncle's couch.

so fucking pwned.

another one where its two characters:

the money pit

Then also "War of the Roses".

pusher 2: with blood on my hands

The Problem Child trilogy.

you stole mine! is there anything for which this answer doesn't work

name a movie in Esperanto

actually if you wait exactly 5:14 after the opening credits and then put on pink floyd's the wall (original pressing) you get the Gettysburg Address delivered in Esperanto...

there's something about mary
along came polly

what about mr bean

Clark Griswold

passion of the christ

until the very end, obviously

Modern Times, loads of other Chaplin I reckon

watched Night Shift last night. the fonz spends a good deal of his time getting pwned.

"moving" is pretty much richie pryor getting pwned then becoming a ninja with a truck, iirc

'La Chevre'

star trek

Pretty much every bukkake film, ever.

that fetish of guys getting kicked in the nuts by asian chicks would work too

take it to the momus thread, fellas

"Clockwise"

Modern Times, loads of other Chaplin I reckon

Or Keaton.

the getaway (the ali mcgraw character)

the long goodbye is kind of like this

The Usual Suspects

Radiers of the Lost Ark

"Clockwise"

this is actually the best suggestion so far

oldboy

no, ^ this is

^^^sprung to mind instantly but i'm not sure it works quite like this thread premise

also, groundhog day

Woyzeck

My Cousin Vinny

"actually", the best pick is pusher II, which i previously mentioned and highly recommend to those who enjoy films with a constant pwnage of a lead character

^^ I've only seen the 3rd one. I'm curious to see the other two.

The Jerk

sorry for my obnoxious use of the unspeakable adverb

"actually", the best pick is pusher II, which i previously mentioned and highly recommend to those who enjoy films with a constant pwnage of a lead character

He kinda has a happy ending though ... as opposed to the lead character in Pusher I who also pretty much just gets pwned the whole time.

chinatown

most good noirs tbh... but chinatown kinda rules for this

Caddyshack (Danny Noonan)

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (the friend, though she kind of gets through it pretty admirably, I think)

The Naked Gun (OJ Simpson).

ironic that he would later famously pwn two people

Oh no, not me,
We never lost control,
You're face to face,
With the man who pwned the world

but in pusher II he really gets pwned all the time, the dude in the first pusher film gets pwned but still retains some strength and he's not really a guy everyone else thinks is weak and useless (he just gets in a tight spot he can't escape.) the director said that his goal in pusher II was to end every scene with the lead character completely humiliated and every other character clearly thinks he's a loser and a pushover (this all despite his ultimate happy ending.)

true that, though plenty of other characters in the first pusher film thought the main guy was weak and useless enough that they didn't pay him/supply him when he wanted them too. The fact that his girlfriend takes his money and bails on him at the end was pretty serious pwnage.

RW Fassbinder to thread
