Nothing with too many hearty belly laughs, it was abdominal surgery.

    Hardcore Henry. Not kidding. You’d think that’d be too much. But with the movie at +5 speed, and you at -3 speed, it comes off pretty well.

    Don’t watch the first few episodes of The Walking Dead while actually in the hospital under heavy opioid medication. That’s how you end up with extremely terrifying and vivid dreams of a zombie apocalypse in the very hospital you’re currently in! Ask me how I know!

      I watched 28 Days Later during a delirious fever spell, so I think I understand where you’re coming from, lol.

    Priest. I recommended it in a terrible movies thread. It’s Paul Bettany and Karl Urban in a cowboy/ronin/faith-based militia versus vampires film. Critics gave it 16% fresh.

    … seriously. Look at this.

        Come for the over-the-top Karl Urban as wild west gothic vampire performance.

        Stay for Maggie Q being the only sane and smart person in the entire post-apocalypse.

      Seems odd they’d both end up in the same crappy movie together in that year. May not be remembering movie years well but Urban was least in Star Trek and Bettany in Marvel even if only as a voice but assume the plan was to make him Vision from the start.

      Was it entertaining at least? It sounds like it could be a fun watch, in theory…like the synopsis of Red Letter Media’s Best of the Worst movies probably do.

        It’s based on a comic series, so the bones are good and the critics are all weenies. I ♡ crappy derivative action schlock.

          I won’t say it’s always my thing but sometimes a plain action movie with few cheesy lines is all you’re looking for. Definitely saw enough Chuck Norris in the 80s to confirm that.

      I did the same when I had surgery and was couch ridden for days. That was great. I then watched the “Tolkien cut” of the hobbit movies

    Dredd (2012)

    The drug in it, named Slo-Mo, should be semi relatable.

    Be warned, high level violence depicted.

      I saw Dredd in the theater in 3D and it was fan-fucking-tastic.

      I own it on Blu-ray as well but nothing will top that 3D experience.

        I hate 3D in theaters. But 3D at home was amazing. I had one of the last 4k 3Dtvs Samsung made, it died last year.

        But 3D at home when I could find the 3D blueray or torrent was amazing. Dredd was one of those

    I was in an altered state of mind while watching the Aquateen Hunger Force movie. I can barely remember anything about the movie, but I know I had a great time!

    Well at first I was going to suggest Snatch, but after seeing the additional information you wrote maybe wait until after you’re feeling better to watch it lol it’s one of my favorites, but it is a comedy so it might hurt.

      One of my favorite movies. Me and my kid laughed our asses off when we watched it together.

      What the fuck can he get away from?
