The First Film to Make Me Physically Sick

Shit damn. I read tonnes of novels that are chock full of social commentary, but that is not why I read them. If I wanted to read something for the social commentary I'd pick up a text book. The point is it's there, maybe. I've never seen Cannibal Holocaust.
Also I couldn't care less about the saw films because they are complete and absolute gutter shite, but calling them bollocks because they are "gore-porn" or whatever ridiculous term you want to use is completely absurd. If people want to get their rocks off to CGI of a woman getting skinned alive then let them. Next you'll be complaining about the tree rape in The Evil Dead.
I'm not saying that killing animals is okay but I don't see why it being on film makes it worse than a bull fight.
Norton Quintessential:
Uh.... Most people aren't too keen on bullfights, either.

The point is it's there, maybe. If a movie has any social commentary, then that's just the candles on the icing of the cake.

I'm not calling them bollocks. I'm just saying that all the people who 'watch it for the commentary it provides' are just lying to themselves.
öde:
Man, fuck off if you're telling so many strangers what they are and aren't doing.
WriterofAllWrongs:
I've heard Cannibal Holocaust was pretty bad, which in turns means awesome for gore fans. I'm not really into the whole gore scene, but I do like to watch one of these horrible and awful movies once and a while. I don't really have any philosophy behind it or anything. It's just sometimes you want to cringe and go "OH GOD NO", hence people's curiosity towards 2girls1cup despite people being like "NO THEY ARE EATING POOP." The people watch it to see what all the hype is about. I guess that's my reasoning behind watching these things. Audition is still one of my favorite films of all time, just for the effort to make something so sickening.
If you want a good 10 movies such as Cannibal Holocaust, check it out, IGN made a blog!
oh im sorry i seem to have made an on-topic post let me correct this
As far as the whole "OH NO NOT THE TURTLE" crap goes, I don't really give a shit. I'm not killing the turtle. I'm not eating the turtle. The turtle is going to die for the same reason deer die during hunting season. For shits and giggles. It's very "So it goes" with me.
