It is... I mean... C'mon, work with me here... Paint Your Wagon... HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THIS? I thought it was a universally acknowledged classic stealth parody.

Hey there, folks! Guess what? I'm finally back writing more or less regularly SFF! Yay!

And I was more of a "Planet of the Apes: The Musical" kind of person.

Heeelllo. Good morning all - you people have written twice as much as you normally do, so I skimmed. If there was anything important I missed, feel free to direct me back to it

I have no idea to what you are referring, and I have seen some of the bugs bunny cartoons. Must have been an older one in which said spear and magic helmet showed up.

No, you're not!

... younger generations implies, you know, just those younger than you.

*backpeddles*

(I'm pretty sure you're not younger than 20, so you could be 25 and this would still all apply)

What was it in?

And on the off chance that it was Boardwalk Empire: who died?

I ask because I've heard that like 90% of the death scenes in there are pretty damn bad, but I didn't bat an eyelash and usually really brutal death scenes at least make me say, "Well, that was violent."

Boardwalk Empire has it's share of rather brutal death scenes (after all, a dude being shot in the head never quite loses its effectiveness), but that's not what this is from.

This is from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Not to give too much away in case some folks reading this don't want plot details spoiled, but a dude uses magical fire to roast a woman alive until she literally turns to dust. Oh, and she's screaming in agony the entire time.

Seriously, if you want to watch it, go right ahead. Probably won't be as hard to watch for you as it was for me, but still...

Really the entire scene it happens in is pretty hard for me to watch. Maybe I'm just a total pansy, I dunno.

Not as bad as The Major being shot to bits at the end of the first GITS movie, and - if we are talkin' full-on WTF - the death scene Joe Pesci gets in GoodFellas always gets me. Every. Single. Time. If you don't like horrible death scenes, then steer clear of 70s Italian horror films (pretty much anything with the word Cannibal in the title is a hundred times worse).

Ah, I already know who killed who there. I used to read the manga back when I had friends who lent me copies.

It's 7pm. I'm thinking of just crawling into bed. I probably could sleep for 12 hours...

I learnt that lesson the hard way when I was 13 and got my hands on a copy of Cannibal Holocaust... never again... never, ever again...

This is from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Not to give too much away in case some folks reading this don't want plot details spoiled, but a dude uses magical fire to roast a woman alive until she literally turns to dust. Oh, and she's screaming in agony the entire time.

Seriously, if you want to watch it, go right ahead. Probably won't be as hard to watch for you as it was for me, but still...

Really the entire scene it happens in is pretty hard for me to watch. Maybe I'm just a total pansy, I dunno.
The books are worse. Just saying. I used to go through them like nothing on earth when I was in japan, and yeah... they were violent.
