Centaurworld and Doom Patrol, but both in the best way possible.
“Under The Skin” with Scarlet Johansson. It has easily the most low-key terrifying scene I’ve ever seen in a movie (the beach scene). And the whole film is the very definition of wtf.
Gozu
Biosphere (2023).
Watched it because I’m a fan of doomsday scenarios. The former president of the United states starts spontaneously growing a vagina and uterus because ‘life uuuh, finds a way’.
I won’t wreck the rest of the plot but this movie took a fucking wild turn and left me sitting there the whole time going WTF!
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion. It was a one weird rollercoaster ride. I still can’t understand the movie too.
All I know about EoE:
Top tier soundtrack
“Disgusting”
“We’ll do the rest later”
“I’m so fucked up”
Birds are metal
Giant eyepussy
Tang
Your mom protected you by hanging a doll she thought was you.
Domestic violence
Delete world to hit one last time
Did I miss anything?
“Get in the fucking robot Shinji” is yet again a major plot point.
Old boy the original
Bad boy bubby
Midsommer
This movie disturbed me for days. What the actual fuck did I watch??
Yeah, I was surprised nobody mentioned it before me. I think part of it is how they ease you into it.
You go from thinking “oh this is some nice cinematography, seems like they’ll do some interesting character development” to suddenly realizing… well I’m not even sure how to explain it. It gets weird.
It had a weird fandom as well. All you get to see is a cult easing the protagonists into their cult stuff, but some people were full “yeah, female empowerment!” I mean, I get it, but they basically fell for the cult rethoric.
Primer. This has to be one of my favorite WTF movies I have watched. Required multiple watches to understand.
I remember once when I was a teenager turning on the TV at like 2 in the morning on a Saturday and being treated to Adult Swim’s Sealab 2021 for the first time. Along with the rest of their line up around 1999-2003. It was fucking weird as shit. But hilarious.
I can still hear the theme song…
Adult Swims programming from the exact same time you mentioned helped shape me into who I am now, lmao. What an awesome time for TV. I can remember sneaking downstairs to the TV to put on Space Ghost Coast to Coast. I didn’t “get it” but I was very aware that I liked that type of dry humor.
Didn’t Space Ghost Coast to Coast predate Adult Swim?
Space Ghost is also how I discovered Triumph the Wonder Dog.
“If by ‘worked with’ you mean ‘banged up the ass’ then, yes, I worked with Lassie.”
“You can say that? Huh. Well, I too, once banged a dog up the a-”
“How was I supposed to know we’d be taken off the air?!”
Splice
The Bee Movie
Donnie Darko leaves more questions than answers
That’s one that really only makes sense after watching it multiple times. The excerpts from the book(?) tell you the “what” and “why” of the events of the movie. Okay, they tell you enough that it makes some sense…
I’m pretty sure only the director’s cut has the excerpts from the book. It still takes at least two watches and some pausing.
Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police did it to me in a good way.
