Oh man, that's one of the movies that honestly has terrified me ever since I was a kid. Never want to see it again (that and Rosemary's Baby, totally freaked me out)

Someone said this was art. Why did the art of masterbation come onto this BD? It was not necessary.

American Pie, he artfully mounted a pie I thought that was pretty creative art.

That really wasn't a "masturbation" scene per se, as much as it was a sexual abuse scene. Abuse perpertrated by Satan on a helpless little girl.

Actually, I would love Exorcist on BD. The cross-in-the-crotch / shoving mommy's face down below was sheer terror. Babel was just wrong with that young boy choking his chicken - you could say that it rubbed me the wrong way (ahem). Exorcist was brilliant!

Is she a homophobe too? I prefer Diet Pepsi -- ice cold.

Choking? Chicken? Rubbed? That equals...

Rubber Chicken being choked?

That is sad. No wonder there's a bird flu in Asia! Can you imagine eating that thing after it's been choked? Eeeeuw. However, it might taste better with Duck sauce.

Why was the Asian girl in Babel naked in front of her father? Please explain the meaning of this to me. Thanks.

I am also in the minority that liked this movie. I can see why people hate it though you have to be a patient movie watcher or your already going to hate it. It's not amazing but I enjoyed it. If anyone wants to give me their Babel for free I will gladly take it.

Crash sucked too though. Seriously though this movie just seemed stupid. Thanks for the heads up.

I couldn't agree more. This was a fantastic and emotional journey, the likes of which hasn't been presented in such a unique way before. It should strike a chord with anyone who may have experienced alienation growing up.

Do yourself a favour and don't rely on the OP's views to cheat yourself out of watching a powerful film. I don't blame anyone for voicing their opinion, but it would be unfortunate if it robbed you of experiencing something that you may find profound (you may not, but you may never know).
