Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I grew up with a family that liked horror movies, and it was the 80s, so I watched a ton of kid-inappropriate stuff, and I felt the same way.
I still don't watch the Murphy death scene to this day. I guess I never thought about the "why" of it, but you saying it now, that these guys were just normal people, not monsters or supernatural supernatural beings, and not in a fantasy setting, but a realistic enough place, and were taking so much realistic joy in killing this random guy in the worst way possible was more messed up than anything else I've seen.
The other stuff in the movie didn't bother me, since it was mostly people getting what they deserve, but I also never really liked them throwing their buddy out of the moving car when he was begging them not to and I don't recall him being all that injured for someone in a movie. I could never enjoy That 70s Show either, and wouldn't watch it because I just couldn't think of anything else but Clarence Boddicker when I saw him.
Funny enough Our Robocop Remake takes that idea and turns it around, so many scenes when characters are discussing Clarence Boddicker they instead show pictures of Kurtwood Smith in That 70's Show, haha. Great fan made parody movie, definitely worth a watch though it's the opposite of terrifying so a bit off-topic here.
I had never even heard of this before, but it was really fun to watch! I didn't know I needed a Robocop musical before now! 😆
The letter home to mom and dad and the ED-209 having the same Alex Murphy style flashbacks as he was killed were hilarious, and of course the alley of perpetual sexual assault.
