i have no idea what Morbs is trying to say?

imo he's saying he wants to see this movie that he already knows he hates but he doesn't want to pay $12 to see it.
he's also saying you can't be srs when you call it movie of the year and then declare watching it an exhausting exercise you wish not to repeat in the same breath. maybe if he paid $12 he would know wtf you're talking about.
also: this never made it in theaters here so I had to watch it on my laptop. >:-(

It was a visceral, emotional grueling experience for a lot of reasons (the flickering lights in a dark theater; all the huge scares of the repeated car crashes; the sheer length of the fucking thing). I'm glad I did it but wouldn't want to subject myself to all that shit again. Why is that a contentious position to take. Like I think Schindler's List is a great movie too but I don't want to snack on a Twizzler and watch the DVD before I go to bed

also Schindler's List is a pretty easy-to-take Holocaust movie. (J Hoberman and others damned it for being so)

I'm actually looking forward to watching it a few more times myself.

1. Super long2. Flickering strobey bullshit in a dark theater3. Lots o gore and shock4. Lots of surprises5. Bummerz galore

adam you should know that Whiney called it "film of the year" too

but it's not like, torture porn

it's worse than torture porn because it's like REAL looking instead of like cartoonish Saw/Hostel bullshit that you can larf at
― patti ayonnaise (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:18 (thirteen years ago) link
it's really not that explicit iirc
everyone's covered in blood, it lasts about 30 seconds...
o ya i forgot abotu the abortion scene tho :/
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Even if it's not explicit per se, it's deployed in the most shocking of ways...obviously the most disturbing things are never so direct. See also: 127 Hours (at least IMO).

Here is Waters's list -- with commentary.
2 Enter the Void (Gaspar Noé) The best film ever about taking hallucinogenic drugs. Seizure-inducing title credits, cinematography that looks as if it were shot by a Gerhard Richter–influenced kamikaze pilot—even vagina cams. Gaspar, thank you. You’re my sweetheart.

The thing abt this film is not that it's super long but that it is sooooooooooooo slooooowwwwwwlllly paced. Like it just drags it's fucking feet along in a really drug-induced stupor.

all the stuff that was supposed to shock just seemed hilariously bad, like a "drugs r bad" psa u see on tv but it goes on for hours

Jim Emerson, Chi Sun-Times:
Gaudiest credits sequence: "Enter the Void" (Gaspar Nöe). Of course, just because it's flashy and unwatchable doesn't make it any good.

What does "unwatchable" mean, given that he presumably doesn't mean it literally?

i watched the fuck out of that credits sequence.
i probably watched them on youtube a dozen times before i saw the movie.

missed that the first time around.
Tarantino was a fan of the credits:
"Yesterday in the process of announcing his favorite movies of 2010, filmmaker Quentin Tarantino had this to say about Enter the Void, which he ranked as the 10th best movie of the year: Hands down best credit scene of the year . Maybe best credit scene of the decade. One of the greatest in cinema history."
