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

    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.

    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.

    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?

      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.

    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.

      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.

      Ohh shit, I know this one. My dad had it on tape and I watched it a few times back in the day. This IS some good mindfuck.

    The inside of your eyelids. It’s a banger every time! 😉 Good luck to you on your surgery, and a speedy recovery.

    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 tried to watch Pulp Fiction for the first time as a teen loaded up on oxys after getting my wisdom teeth out. I turned it off after twenty minutes because I realized I had no idea what anyone had said. Great movie, just not good from my perspective when you’re fucked up. Watch something stupid like Face Off

      That’s what my parents said about Snatch, and yet no one was on any drugs! I guess the accents were a bit too much to fully comprehend (we are Americans). I love the movie and re-watch it from time to time. May be a generational thing, too.
