I often find myself thinking about words and phrases like this. It is rather weird how the meanings of some words get twisted around.

"Awesome" is another one that is interesting - it should mean "causing awe or terror" but it is rarely used that way now.

This may make me sound like an anal retentive English teacher, but it bothers me when I see/hear people use the word "excruciating" in a frivolous way. Excruciating comes from Latin "excrusio" or "out of the cross". The Romans considered crucifixion to be so horrendous that they needed a whole new word for it. So unless someone truly feels like they are going to die, they aren't in excruciating pain.

Just saw this flick again last night, and I've got to say, it's a lot smarter and better put together than I initially thought. It's the excruciatingly confusing tone that makes this thing work for me. Think Idiocracy meets David Lynch meets Hunter S. Thompson. It's messy, but intentionally messy because it allows it's critique of American shallowness to permeate every aspect of the film's production. Still, you are going to want to medicate heavily before viewing for maximum enjoyment.

Saatana perkele! That was excruciating, but not more so than trying to speak Finnish.
At this rate he'll be fluent in no time.

Ask Noah. He already took a census of ALL creatures on the Earth... thousands of years ago... when he put all creatures great and small on the Ark. I think this whole scientific investigation thing is nothing more than a waste of funds! It is all known and in excruciating detail in the Bible already! Right? Uhmmmm. Yeah. It is.

Of course... most religio-tards would agree with my statement. A majority have hardly read or actually understood the very book of fairy tales they profess so strongly about.

I hope every filmmaker sees this and kills it every time they see it in a script, because this cinematic meme needs to die a horrible, excruciating death. It's right up there with "I'm getting too old for this shit." Any screenwriter who puts this in a script should be blacklisted for life.


...Except for Lethal Weapon sequels!

No, I just found that excruciating

Those few seconds it took me to realize this wasn't serious were excruciating

It’s still unclear whether thus is meant directly for investors or simply to show them the appeal of the material, since views and comments on YouTube are a good indicator of how the potential audience would receive the movie.

Thanks for the extra info! Although I must say, I find the idea that YouTube comments would ever be considered a "good indicator" of how humanity at large would react to something rather excruciatingly disturbing...

I managed about 30 seconds but I'll take your word for the rest of it. Truly excruciating.

The ending, priceless.

The condition in this link, above, is horrible; the treatment, excruciating.

Sort of reminds me of Tom Hanks in Terminal... You should have found a job doing construction instead!

Nicely done. I once spent 4 days in the Helsinki Airport due to a misplaced passport and an empty bank account. Waiting in airports can be excruciatingly boring, but at least I learned that you can make soup by adding ketchup packets to hot water.

This is excruciatingly terrible, and has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Not porn, though. I say keep it but ban Brain anyhow, just because.

Fuck!!!
I guess when I first saw your name I misread it and now I´m dyslexic to it, all I see is a mechanical duck. That wont change back, ever. Anyhow there is more poetry in a fingernail of a graverobbed raped corpse than in all 1.200 norwegians together.
It also means you didn´t win, somehow.

Ornothron, wow, now THERE is some research and effort! Congrats on the trainee who did your job. Having my fraudulent narcisistic ways exposed by a mechanical bird´s apprentice is the moon landing to my neil armstrong. And yes, it is excruciating reading through you people´s comments in order to find even one worth mentioning.
Does this mean I won the roast, even if you can't manage to spell my name correctly? But I guess it's too much to ask to comprehend these complex norse names for someone whose first language is descended from murderers, pirates, rapists and grave robbers.
