“I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything’s soft… and smooth…” :smack: ---

> [@capacitor](#): > > Seeing how Lucy Liu handled an insult on the conference table in _Kill Bill 1_, I resolve to watch what I say around her. [Best. speech. ever](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266697/quotes) (or at least, top 10). “…I didn’t THINK so.” Just1Lurk…just one of those synchronicitous kinda days. ---

God, two pages of this thread, and no one’s mentioned _Chinatown_? Has anyone ever watched that movie without covering their nose with their hand? ---

[**Ichi the Killer**](http://www.ichithekiller.net/#). That was the only movie that ever made me really, really sick. You can watch the trailer off of the website. The [Guardian Unlimited](http://film.guardian.co.uk/features/featurepages/0,4120,649580,00.html) considers it to be “A strong contender for the sickest movie of all time” but I think it is number 1. ---

With all the Kill Bill references, I forgot to mention my cringe-worthy scenes: Vol 1 – despite all the over-the-top ultra-violence, it’s the Bride biting off her assailant’s lip that gets me. Vol 2 – stepping on Elle Driver’s eyeball. Plucking it out is one thing…oogy, but ok; stepping on it…gak. Can’t watch. ---

In **The Pianist** when the Nazis ordered an old man in a wheelchair to stand up, but he can’t, so they throw him off a three or four story building. ---

**Kyla** brought up another one I wanted to mention… that upward slice of Jack Nicholson’s nose. ARGH! And I don’t even like him. ☹ When the horse jumped overboard in **The Ring**. Poor, poor thing. Any scenes where someone is in the road and they get slammed by a car. The ‘thud’ sound alone makes me shiver. ---

Marathon Man, the scene with the Bazi dentist “Is it safe?”. It still makes me cringe. Kathy Bates and the sledgehammer in Misery. First time I saw it I pulled my feet back so hard I almost smacked my head with my own knees. Simon Phoenix gouging out the eyeball with a pencil in Demolition Man. Total Recall, where Arnold pulls that humungous metal thing out of his nose. I’ve heard of brain ticklers, but come on! ---
