Nothing with too many hearty belly laughs, it was abdominal surgery.
Tenet might be fun.
I be had two major surgeries, I’ve only been given oxy for one of them. I took it maybe two days and got off of it as quickly as possible. I hate taking pills, and I didn’t feel like I needed it anyway. Pretty much just made me tired.
I watched it many years ago, I just remember how trippy the movie was, not much of the plot. I don’t know whether it’s too funny for the state you will be in!
Was gonna suggest EEAAO but then saw you say “no belly laughs” so that’s out
- 10,000 Years of Longing
- Being John Malkovich
- The Fisher King (some of it didn’t age well, it was the 80s)
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.
Requiem for a Dream so you don’t get hooked on them
This is somehow the best AND the worst advice in the whole post.
I mean, add Trainspotting.
With trainspotting you might get some belly laughs in, though.
excellent film
Watch some documentaries of opioid addiction. Better safe than sorry.
When I had an abdominal surgery, I watched the full extended cut versions of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy
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
– Sir, you need to walk a bit to recover faster.
– Take my signs already and don’t interrupt me!
Have fun!
Oh, I’ve heard of this one, but I never got around to it. Sounds like the perfect time to cross it off my list.
Do yourself a favour, watch the directors cut.
Seconded. When I find out how botched the theatrical ending was, I was glad I started with the Director’s version.
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.
Paul Bettany and Karl Urban
Equilibrium with vampires.
Equilibrium was the first time I saw Christian Bale in a movie, loved it.
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.
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
Followup.
Also, Baraka and Koyaanisqatsi.
The Fountain
Videodrome maybe. Some of these suggestions are mean.
PaprikaFear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Requiem for a Dream.
Hell, throw Trainspotting in there.
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!
I KNEW it was going to be that! 😂
WE STILL GOT YOUR FUCKING MONEY!!!
That should be at the beginning of every movie.
Also maybe I’m just fucking old but I think if you bust your cell phone out in a movie theater during the movie you should get punched in the face and have the phone shoved up your ass.
