There is a scene where a person, perhaps a woman, is tied to a chair. Her tormentors put a motorcycle helmet on her, then hit her in the helmet with a baseball bat.

We’re kinda thinking twin peaks? But i only really saw a few episodes of that. But i definitely remember seeing something with a scene like that, probably from the same time-ish as twin peaks. Any ideas?

Next question…and probably unanswerable unless you are stalking me.

What did i watch within the past few weeks that had the Longmire guy as like a minor character. Like maybe a cop show with him as a mayor or police chief? I know it was NOT Longmire because i haven’t been subjected to that in months ( not that it’s a bad show. I only watch it when someone else is.)

Ah jeez. I was able to look this question up and I found the answer. And boy, how i wish i hadn’t. The answe is The Meg. I wish I had forgotten everything about that movie. Ugh.

I could see, maybe, misremembering the scene when Leo was tied to a chair and Shelly and Bobby were tormenting him.

I _love_ The Meg, so there’s something for everyone out there. I love watching giant CGI monsters torment humanity, plus I had read the book so my expectations were very, very, very, very, very low.

The first thing I thought of was the 2003 film [King of the Ants](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNaOG7EN5jE). The victim was male and they put padding on his head and hit him with a golf club. Once a day for several days. Quite a disturbing flick.
