Several plot points in that film are absolutely horrifying like the shopkeeper deafening him as a child

He was deafened by an ear infection after diving into a frozen pond to save his brother from drowning. Later he prevented Mr. Gower from accidentally poisoning a child when Gower was distracted by grief. I do believe Gower hit him during that sequence though, if that’s what you’re referring to. And yeah that last part is rough but sometimes life and history are unpleasant.

That is not an old movie. It’s not a recent movie, but it’s not an old movie.

Two decades is old. An 80s movie in the year 2000 was old.

I don’t agree. I watched tons of movies from the '80s in the 2000s and I didn’t really think of them as old. Certainly not recent, but not old old.

Debatable. There are adults who weren’t even born back then.

Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan always makes me cry. The death of Spock, the exchange between him and Kirk, it always kills me.

For me it is Shatner’s performance during the funeral. Any time Shatner’s acting gets made fun of I bring it up.

Just saw Elephant Man at the Music Box Theatre. Incredibly moving film if you haven’t seen it. They’re currently running a film series on David Lynch and that was the first of his films I had ever seen. Planning to see more this week if I can!

Nice! Welcome to the world of Lynch! Hope you enjoy them. Have you seen Twin Peaks?
