But I don't think you're getting what I'm saying. I didn't dislike it because it was offensive or repugnant. I disliked it because it was just plain bad. Bad script, bad acting, bad camara work. Just bad all around. It didn't inspire offence, repugnance, or loathing. It inspired bored and a sincere desire to get back the time I wasted watching it. It was not shocking or even thought provoking, unless that thought is 'Dear god, why am I still watching this crap!' For a movie that I had alway heard was so extreme and hard to watch it was woefully lacking these qualities and many more that make even a good movie. It was not '...horribly loathsome and visceral', it was boring and a waste of time.
Cannibal Holocaust wasn't all it was cracked up to be either, but it was closer to the mark. And it is at least a watchable movie, it didn't bore me to tears.

yes, i know so much is so ordinary, so coarse, and so vulgar. but survival is simply not enough. nowhere near.

i demand and expect quality.
