The problem with Requiem is that you can't make yourself watch it more than once :p

Requiem was one of the best movies I've ever seen.

I downloaded Pi a while ago, but I have yet to see it

Requiem for a Dream no doubt. Watching it at night with the lights out really adds to the effect. Very disturbing yet true, really brings out the message.
Pi was alright too.

how anyone can find a story about drug addicts interesting is beyond me. jennifer connely doing a dildo ram was the only thing "interesting"

Wow! Hard to believe anyone comes away with a review that bent. But there it is.

Just watched Requiem for the first time and man is my brain drained....

I had heard a lot about it and like the first 50 mintues I was "well this isn't so bad" Then the last 20 minutes just killed me...


I'll never ever do drugs... EVER!

Don't get all the beginner calculus students mixed up by comparing pi and e^x, they'll start thinking that neither one is constant and all of the sudden the derivative of pi will be itself.

i watched 40 minutes then decided it was too much
the next day i watch another 20 minutes and took a break now i'm watching the last 40 minutes

i wouldn't have put it back if it weren't for neomits comments about the last 20 mins... i gotta see that i'm at the scene where the two guys are at the grocery store

You fscked it up! It is one of those movies you have to watch alone, in the dark, turned up really loud, and all in one sitting! Much greater effect. You don't have time to wind down.

Definetely, you shouldn't wind down from this. It's like watching a horror movie at night, then right when it gets to the scary part you turn it off, and watch it the next day with a bunch of friends in broad daylight
