The suit. Oh. The suit.
shareI just thought the suit was frickin' hilarious. And I am totally NOT a gorehound, Salo remains the most disturbing, spirit=crushing film I've ever seen (even HOSTEL could be a bit *beep* much for me, at times!), I just couldn't help laughing every time that suit was on screen, especially when the camera went close=up on Mr. Walrus' face.
"Hot lesbian witches!"
I was listening to a prominent movie podcast, and the critic said she thought Tusk was his best movie, but that she would never recommend it to anyone, lol
Said she literally had some sort of panic attack after watching it.
I thought, dear god, what is this film, Never heard of it.

Agreed, this is one of Smith's best. He gradually brings you into the hopeless horror. I think its brilliant but its almost cruel to lure someone to go through the same mind rape. Im curious about the DVD commentary (Smith does good commentary) but i dont think i can see that suit again.
shareThis film caused you to be mind-raped?
Go watch "A Serbian Film". Compared to that, you'll proclaim that Tusk is the most delightful family film of the year.
Why do they say things are a dime a dozen
when a dozen eggs costs a $1.89.
Ah Serbian Film.....the quaint little borderline mainstream reference people use to try and tout their machismo for withstanding "terrible sick" films....

LOL. Why people keep mentioning A Serbian Film as a standard for "disturbing" "mind-raped" or whatever? I've watched the uncut version, it's pretty shocking, but nothing out of the ordinary. A movie like "The Fly (1986)" is way more disturbing than anything depicted in ASF. share
One of his best? You have to be kidding me. If this movie was made by a bunch of unknowns, you'd be bashing it like 95% of people who watched it. Let go of Kevin Smith's junk and wake up.

I haven't seen it yet, but considering Smith sucks as a director it's not hard to believe this might be one of his "best". share
If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch something else. Tusk isn't horror, it isn't comedy...it just sucks. The people who say it's good either don't watch a lot of movies or have extremely terrible taste in movies. Rumor has it Smith himself even said he knows Tusk sucked and he doesn't care after a screening in LA.
shareIt's better than Jersey Girl
shareI love it. Go *beep* yourself you pretentious *beep*.
share*spoiler alerts*
I could barely function....... after watching this. The bellowing got to me, I admit.
But........
THis felt like a desperate attempt of someone to freak someone out. They got lost in what the heck they were trying to say or show by this, I believe. WHY were his 2 friends not shown taking this poor abused man to a doctor, who would probably assemble a team of best surgeons in the city, if not the country, to try and untangle the mess Howe made with his body? He could move, which tells me his spine was still intact. I believe it would be not impossible to take the suit off and a lot of plastic surgery would actually make him look like a burn victim without lower half of his legs. Still better than this being stuck in this suit.
And WHY feed him fish..........? He's still human, for heaven's sake! He's stuck among foreign materials, but he can eat and his stomach is human, NOT one of a fish. He should get to eat human food, maybe soups and stuff! THe ending is f-ed up and inhumane, sorry.
Yeah, that ending made no sense at all. I mean, the whole movie is batsh!t crazy anyway, but when it said "one year later," I figured we'd see him catatonic in the nuthouse or something. Not STILL in the suit. Nobody would let that happen! I just wish Johnny Depp had put him out of his misery with the shotgun.
shareIf you watched the credits until the end, you can hear the original podcast in which Smith had the idea for the ending. It is fricking hilarious and puts that whole ending scene into context.
Seriously go listen to it.
I thought that ending was so dumb (especially that cheesy smooth music), but after hearing that I just realized Smith was just having fun and WANTED an absurd ending.
Because he had gone full walrus. That's the whole point. That was who he was in the end bc of what he'd been through. The kidnapper at the end says something like, "it is done" He doesn't just mean that "Mr. Tusk" got his revenge, but that he had sort of recreated Mr. Tusk in someone else so that he could live again in a sense. There wasn't really any human left in him...just the tear rolling down his face at the end.
shareYes! ^^^^
sharebefore he killed the psycho path his survival mode was activated after his last attack they showed that he got mind bleeped and became an animal by nature. A seal that eats fish.
shareBut he wasn't. He cried at the end which was to Show that he is still human at his core. Very cruel ending, but I guess that's what Smith was going for.
I just hated his girlfriend and friend at the end. Way to go reminding Wallace all the time what he has lost and probably f-cking his friend the whole time. What a b-tch. I would have loved to see the movie go a couple of minutes longer and somehow have him attack her or something, or maybe f-ck her with that walrus d-ck. Now THAT would have been an academy-award-worthy ending! ;)
Yeah, I've been going through a rough time lately and thought I'd cheer myself up with the new Kevin Smith movie. I got about halfway through (second surgery)before I had to turn the movie off. I think this will forever be the first Kevin Smith movie I couldn't watch. I hope it's the last.
shareSo you missed the Walrus suit? Man...
You HAVE to at least see that. It's like 5 minutes afterwards.
Then turn it off and have nightmare forever hahahaha.
Appearances are barely scary to me, since I went through The Fly and most of the body-horror stuff before, what makes me cringe is that feeling of "Being still alive, utterly helpless and still witnessing your torment continue along".
I can offer you another great nightmare fuel on that topic. Its called "Johhny Got His Gun."
Watch the movie and you will stay awake for a good week. Read the book and you will get traumatized for life.
I can't even tolerate The Fly. Jeff Goldblum version? No way.
And I am scared to watch Johnny Got His Gun. Think the Metallica video was quite enough for me lol.
