Tom Six Describes how he prefaces the teaser trailer:

“My latest movie, The Onania Club, deals with human vileness on many levels,” Six explains in a statement. “Its main theme is ‘schadenfreude’, an emotion that philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer called: ‘the most evil sin of human feeling’ and ‘diabolic’. Where The Human Centipede trilogy is mostly body horror; The Onania Club deals with this pure psychological horror.”

“Strong, rich, white L.A. women (über *****es) run the show and deeply enjoy the misery of others.”

Just saw the teaser. This is some edgy shit, not in an interesting nor good way.

That is his intention I think.

Oh, I know. Just doesn't look good. Even the camerawork etc, looks amateurish (probably intentional, or not)

So, I take it it's about this group of ladies getting their jollies from watching bad things, which is the exact same thing Six expects the audience to do when watching his movies.

So meta.

I guess.

Would have been more interesting if he didn't spell out the theme of the movie in the blurb and the trailer.

Cronenberg's Crash this ain't...clearly.

Any word on who's distributing this one?

The Debts · 09-19-2018, 03:29 AM

You are not Lars von Trier, Mr. Six. You try too hard.

It’s still seeking a distribution deal. They are looking at Autumn (fall) for a release.

I was wondering recently what happened to this. Like not to the degree that I was interested to find out, but just whether no distributor decided it was worthwhile even attempting to release it.

I’m sure it will have a good plot, excellent character development and be competently directed. Or not.

This guy needs to find a new hobby. What a weirdo.

Yeah, it’s alnost like several hundred other guys haven’t tried to make shocking content in the history of film. Shame on him, off with his head imo!

The problem with Tom Six is that he has no point behind what he's doing; A lot of time, most filmmakers have some kind of intent or meaning behind being shocking and disturbing. He's just doing it so he can make himself look edgy or some s**t. On top of that, his films look cheap and unprofessional, the kind of crap that looks like something you'd see made from a film student in the 00's, not an experienced filmmaker who's well into his seventh film.
