WHAT THE HECK

No one likes One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. this movie is in my top 10 the same with A Clockwork Orange.

1. American Beauty

4. Dracula
5. Drinking Games

Okay, I'll admit that I hate Halie Joel Osmend.

But how in the world can you find the curb stomp scene to be funny? Unless you were being sarcastic, which I don't think you were.

That's just sick man, to say something like that. Not funny in any way.

I don't see your logic...you say its ok to think the death to Haley Joel Osmont was funny, but to laugh at the curb scene in American History X is totally morbid?

I mean, 2 + 2 = 4 and Haley Joel Osmont is a child. So laughing at a child die is ok, but a grown man getting his face smashed isn't? I didn't find it funny, I didn't find it repulsive. I found it creative. One of the better more original death scenes in movies.

Either way kids suck.
