I dont mean to pry but since you raised it, does any portyal of death bother you? Or is it a specific portrayal? If you prefer not to respond i'lltake no offense. Thx.

Is the question directed at me? If it is, well... dunno, really. I don't watch horror movies, so I guess you could say all that stuff are outside my comfort zone. Something like Salo or "A Serbian Film" are flicks that I think I could never watch, I think. But as far as emotional attachment to certain characters goes, eh, I don't feel that. Sure, I'm sad, but what can you do. Same goes for comic book deaths. Amazing 700 was supposed to be super emotional, and it kinda was, but I was more excited for the continuation. I don't tend to get hang up on the past on such things. I'm nostalgic, but I always try to look forward.

As for the various means of death and the violence, it depends on the context. I didn't feel jack**** about Murph's death in Interstellar, but Coffey's death in The Green Mile was a gut punch. Usually emotional moments affect me more than deaths. Million Dollar Baby, Sophie's Choice, Schindler's List, all of these made me feel more "feels" during the entire duration than certain "sad" deaths.

So the directors accomplished their jobs. I remember when Saving Private Ryan was in the theaters. When I left the theater you could have heard a pin drop. There were reports of veterans tearing up. Reports of veterans having flash backs. If that's not good movie making I don't know what is. Same with this. It affected people so deeply because it was so well presented. My daughter cried.

I was sobbing in the parking lot. I mean...SOBBING!

No, it was something on the previous page.

When Gianni ribisi said I don't want to die and want to go home.

It's cool. Obviously this episode is of great discussion interest to a lot of people and I'd hate to close the thread, even temporarily.

It will be OK by this time next. Once Shiva shows up all the big cat lovers will declare it as the best episode ever.

It's be MEGA LOLCat City for Jye!

I'd be lying to say that my interest wasn't fading a bit the last 2 seasons. I found that I really wasn't looking forward to the season premiere like I had in the past. I think FTWD helped kill my enthusiasm a bit.

I finally watched the episode and I wasn't particularly wow'd by it

 

[kiwiatlarge]

I've actually only been loosely watching it in the background since the Governor seasons, and the one after that where they ended up at that "community" in the last episode, only to walk into a trap.

When my mom passed away I stopped watching shows with realistic violence (like Law & Order and CSI type shows) and it took a long time for me to want to watch them again. Then my dad passed away and while I am ok watching shows like TWD they really do affect me in a different way. While the season premier was bad for me it was even worse during the cliff hanger with the first person view and Negan saying “taking it like a champ.” Just the thought of being there and hearing him be an ass to you while he kills you just got to me pretty good. I’ve turned into a big baby I think.

Yeah It'll be a year this Christmas but it's still difficult to watch things that make me feel sad or depressed, but strangely I can still watch the First 48 now. The X-Files season 10 episode 4 "Home Again" was really, really tough to watch, it brought back a lot of pain. Some movies and TV shows are still okay, but certain things just turn me off more so than before. I've stopped watching my usual horror movie marathons for this Halloween, just have to heal a little before I watch the stuff again. Not sure if I'll ever come back to TWD, if I hear it's not the same repetitive stuff they've done before, maybe sometime in the future.

Was it too sadistic ?

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Was it too sadistic ?

Nah, it was just meh outside of the beatings

You were probably already emotionally drained from Saturday night's loss and had nothing left for TWD.

Man, imagine if they put that Red Skull scene from Old Man Logan (it's where the design with Skull wearing BuckyCap's suit is from) in a flick. People would truly riot...

 

[EVILFACE]

What's funnier that all this outrage of the brains bashing on TWD. AMC has F13 PtIII on right now and it is super edited. There isn't a hint of gore. Everything cuts away and you see nothing.

 

[Darkseed]

Meh....too bad for those unhappy for whatever reason.....I'm looking forward to the continuation in tonight's episode.
