Uncomfortable scenes in movies by scene or actor.

We were watching ** Old School ** the other night and there is a scene with **Andy Dick ** playing a blow job specialist that my husband and I just sat there getting the heebie jeebies watching. It really was so creepy, that it wasn’t hard to imagine him doing something like that in real life.

Andy Dick.

Blow Job Specialist.

AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH! My eyes! My eyes!

I can’t think of one yet from a movie, but I have one from a tv show.

Captain Janeway in Voyager. Somehow, there’s been another holodeck accident and they’re stuck in Tom Paris’ old 50s serial, Rocketman or something. Janeway is playing some villianess, Tarantullella or something. The scene is in black and white, and watching her roll her eyes and vamp was truly horrifying. I fear Kate Mulgrew hated doing that scene.

Funny enough, I think that was the last Paris old 50s serial show they did.

I have got to own Old School!

Berry on Thornton action in Monster’s Ball made me very, very uncomfortable.

Indeed. Not even Halle Berry’s beatuiful breasts are worth the sight of Billy Bob Thornton’s hairy bobbin’ man ass.

The scene in Happiness in which

the father has to explain his pedophilia to his young son, and the kid asks whether his dad would ever touch him in that way, and the father, nearing a breakdown, blurts out something to the effect of, “No, because I jerk off instead.”

That scene is the most uncomfortable I have ever watched, and also the most uncomfortable I ever HOPE to watch, because I honestly almost had to turn the movie off at that point. Ugh.

“About a Boy.” Almost all of it was soul-cringingly embarrassing. I really felt for that kid.

The rape scene in Irréversible was almost unwatchable.

I know there are films like Once Upon A Time in America etc with horrific rape scenes but Irréversible is so real and harrowing.

Ugh, just about the entire length of the Austrian movie Funny Games upset me. I’ve never seen a movie in which the goal seemed to be to make the audience feel as bad as possible.

Reservoir Dogs:

Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) dancing to “Stuck in the Middle with You” while threating to set the cop on fire.

I can’t hear that song without thinking of that scene.

In Mulholland Drive, there is a scene where a bubbly young actress is auditioning for a role opposite a lecherous, much older actor. When you see her practicing for the audition with her roommate, she’s giggling and nervous and over-emotes. At the real audition, her performance is 100% different-- she turns it sultry and seductive and actually makes the older actor uncomfortable-- as well as the audience. The entire theater was squirming at the intensity of it. It was terrific.

There were so many in Scary Movie …that scene where they were spoofing the Blair witch project was unnervingly gross to me even when everyone was gagging and laughing it all up.

speaking of Luge jokes, the one from Ace Ventura second movie where spitting was a tribal custom was absolutely unwatchable for me.

Actually, given my homophobic tendencies, any suggestion of male-male sexuality creeps me out, so that Andy “Dick” thing was not something I care to see either. (I closed my eyes at that part of Old school) There was an special extra feature that they took out of Old School where William Sean Scott french kisses Will Ferrell after his mishap at the pool. I saw a split second of that before violently yanking the power cord off my DVD player.

Naked Kathy Bates in “About Schmidt.” Followed by Jack Nicholson’s ass. shudder

Oh yes, that whole hot tub scene in “About Schmidt” was uncomfortable.

For me, the Gimp scene in Pulp Fiction has to be the most painful to watch…Never saw anything like THAT before.

“Is it safe?”

“What?”

“Ah, yes…Well, is it safe?”

“I’m sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

…cue dental drill in Dustin Hoffman’s mouth…

“Now then…I’ll ask you once more…Is it safe?”

Cringe inducing, everytime.

Man, there are some real squirmers above but on a lighter note the scene in “Fast times at Ridgemont High” where the older (Judge Somebodyorother) brother gets caught spanking in the bathroom alwys made my sack shrink up…

How about Jennifer Connelly bouncing butt to butt with a double sided dildo in “Requiem for a Dream”?
Made me more tingly than uncomfortable but that whole movie is a bit hard to watch.

Here’s part of that cheery scene from Requiem for a Dream:

INT. BIG TIM’S LUSH PAD

In slow motion and tight close-ups we experience the orgy
with Marion.

There’s nipples, tongues, sex toys, eyes closed in ecstasy,
men’s glares, men’s smiles and the like. The images aren’t
sexy, they’re scary.

One of the girls holds up a double-headed dildo and says:

			GIRL
	What should we do now?

A Pervert screams out:

			PERVERT
	Ass to ass, ass to ass!

Marion complies and the flashlights shine. Then the Pervert
starts a chant:

			PERVERT
	Cum!  Cum!

The remake of Lolita. Jeremy Irons is seriously slimy in that one.

The fisting scene in Blue Velvet. Ye gads! That must have been difficult to shoot! (Well, for Isabella Rosallini, I’m sure Dennis Hopper was pretty familiar with the process.)

The vast majority of Happiness left me feeling like insects were crawling around under my skin.

The, er, “love scene” in Being There between Chance and whatshername was up in the uncomfortable range, but in a far funnier way.
