Great to know Buddy.
Intented it to be for laughs.

This been brewing for awhile.
I read US posters raving about a scene and I want a look at it as well. So understand wanting to ask.
But understand cappers too
haven't been sending many tapes to cappers for awhile
since becoming aware of the problem

Except the Major, of course. I still clutter up his place with tapes to clip. Good thing there a beer store on the way to his place incase I have to bribe him huh? ;)

The All-Time Most Disturbing Scene ( in my opinion )
While you guys have picked some really good ones (ie. Funny Games), I recall seeing a foreign one a looong time ago, that was extremely graphic and sleazy in nature. After a few internet searches, I found it's name was "Giallo a Venezia".

The movie is like a porn featuring excessive violence. Some of the effects aren't mindblowing per say, but the mentalities of the killings are pretty sick. One woman is tied naked to her kitchen table, gagged with white tape, while the killer (menacing in his aviators), slowly saws one of her legs off -- And you see it. When she falls unconcious, he smacks her to wake her up. NOT PRETTY.

Of course, the Japanese have some really bad scenes in their "guinea pig" series. Pure filth. You can see Giallo's review and dare I say caps at the attached site.

I think what Tapemaster is trying to say is that for
short notice, it's good to post here. I agree with that,
most people tend to read this forum first.

It's been fairly standard to do that, so I'd have to say
that what he did was in keeping with the spirit if not
the exact letter of the rules.

I have the DVD and they do NOT show her hit the water or even under water. They show her in the boat and then she's tossed over the side and you hear her hit the water but it's not shown.
And being so effectively bound and gagged I'm sure she never even entered the water or if she did they probably had someone on the other side of the boat to catch her and/or bring her up once she was out of view of the camera.

Another one
If you are still not bored, here is another scene for identification.

A girl and a putz is taken hostage. As I remember, they are blindfolded and gagged with a special device (sort of a leather gag or something - like the one in Dune). They think that they are taken somewhere far away, while they are only taken a few blocks away, and shown gagged again, in another scene.

Any ideas? Thanks.

of course I have, its both my favorite horror movie and Did scene.
But Marilyn Burns bondage was sparse compared to Funny Games, a gag and ropes around her wrists, then wrists tied to a chair with no gag.
She wasn't put through half the horrors that the Funny Games DiD was put through. Ms Burns onscreen bondage was just a fraction of the screen time of the bondage in Funny Games and her torture was more implied than explicit, and the DiD didnt make it out of Funny games alive.
Funny Games was more brutal and extreme bondage.

Of course, I agree with what you are saying, but I remember being horrifiedthe first time I saw Burns's scene. Then I read somewhere, in a non-DID situation, that there was very little fakery involved with the scene in TCSM. Burns was really experiencing the full brunt of the ropes and gag, which was an old rag that just happened to be on the soundstage, and that very little was faked. I am not saying that the scene was "real" in that Burns was an unwilling participant, but she reallly endured the harshness of the scene. But, now, looking back on that, I get the sinking suspicion that that discription may have been part of the marketing for the movie! The FUNNY GAMES scenes are really tough, but with the background info on the TCSM scene, I always considered that more horrific. As for the Damsel not surviving, you are right about that! Like in the Bone Collector, I don't find that kind of ending "amusing". I have always enjoyed realism in scenes, and the demise of a DID is not always a turn off. I remember BRIAN R. once stating that the first scene he taped was a DRAGNET scene, and as I recall, the DID in the photo had already shuffled off this mortal coil, yet still looked appealing in her hogtie!

You can define a consistent height & width for images to display on your page using CSS. Adding class="" to the <img> tag and setting a style definition in your style sheet.
Problem is you can't control the original size of the image and some may appear distorted when sized into the pre-defined size limits. No way to obtain file size through CSS that I know of. Might help to some degree?

The Inside
This week's episode:
The June 15th episode of "The Inside" is "Old Wounds." The VCU is after another serial killer when Paul's former co-worker, a federal prosecutor, is murdered. They suspect their prime suspect meets his victims at an S&M club.
Rebecca is attracted to one of its regulars.

In the premiere she was "bait" for a serial killer and now she is attracted to an S&M club regular(hopefully on an ongoing basis :)). And these are only the first 2 episodes. This sounds promising. Hope the show follows through on the setup.
I better find a new VHS tape before tomorrow....

This is accurate. Theres a GREAT book called "Texas Chgainsaw Massacre Companion" by Stefan Jaworzyn which is basically a collection of interviews by the cast and crew. They get really into detail about what Marilyn Burns had to put up with for the shoot, and the entire sequence was filmed in one night under guerilla conditions.
The lack of fakery behind the scenes is what impresses me the most on this scene, I'm not a big fan of Hollywood bondage, I prefer independent films with low budgets and unknown actresses.
Chainsaw is probably one of the FEW films that I would recommend NOT getting the DVD version of if you are just interested in the bondage scenes.
The film was filmed in fullscreen, but was cropped for widescreen release. Also, the DVD has been "restored" to a darker, murkier state.
The video master is overexposed which means everything is MUCH brighter and easier to see. Most notable is in the gas station, where you cant see the tying and gagging on the DVD at all because its so dark, but is crystal clear on the VHS release.

As far as I know, she was not shown being pushed into the water. I only heard a splash in the version I saw.

Only an insanely irresponsible director would allow someone stringently bound and gagged to be dumped into deep water from a moving boat.

It's not a favourite of mine, due to the " blink and you'd miss it " briefness of the scene.

As my memory serves, it occurs roughly halfway though the movie.

Sounds like "Gang of Roses", featuring the lovely Stacey Dash, easily one of my favorite black women in Hollywood. She had an awesome tape gag scene in the Richard Pryor comedy "Moving", though I havn't seen it online since Masterbind had it up on his pages. Good stuff.

The link has a history of the character with an interesting item from about 1995. It's apparantly not in the DB (Wendy Moniz played the character at the time).

"Meanwhile, Dinah had found a perfect way to get money--she'd arrange for Viktor to kidnap her and they'd split the ramsom money. Unfortunately for Dinah, Viktor double crossed her and left her tied up while he decided to ask for more money (which he'd keep for himself)...

When Matt left the briefcase near the railroad tracks for Viktor, instead of going back home, he instinctively went to the abandoned underground factory and found Dinah there tied up and gagged. He immediately released her gag, while Viktor found the money and headed back to the abandoned factory. Viktor arrived just as Matt was almost done untying the rope around Dinah's hands."

Sounds good but major putz alert
"Variety reports that Elisha Cuthbert (House of Wax) is set to star in Captivity, a Roland Joffe-directed thriller.

Elisha Cuthbert will play a fashion model who, along with a chauffeur, gets kidnapped and held in a small room by a serial killer. While the psycho methodically terrorizes them, the victims draw strength from each other and fall in love.

Based on a script by Larry Cohen (Phone Booth, Cellular), Captivity will be the first true Russian-American co-production, according to producer Mark Damon.

Captivity will shoot at Moscow-based Mosfilm Studios for a fraction of what it would have cost to film in another European city or U.S. location."

Emma Peel bondage mystery
I've been looking around on the internet a little, and it appears that in the mid-60s, Diana Rigg made a number of short films (7 min. each) where she plays an Emma Peel-like character. Rumors abound as to who they were made for and where (Germany? Spain? For some guy who could pay her a ton of cash...?), but it seems that they are silent films. Has anyone ever seen them or have more definitive info? I've included a link that has a description of one of them, and a picture. And, yes, Diana is supposed to be bound and gagged in this episode, although the pic seems to show her bound, but not gagged.

One thing I found intriguing when looking into this was the notion of a very wealthy man who could hire a famous actress to appear in some home movies, and thus fulfill a (very expensive, I'm sure) wish of seeing her bound and gagged.

Most disturbing scenes
Surprised none of the oldtimers mentioned "Don't Go In the House" with a cutie acting under the name Johanna Brushay (always wondered what her real name was and whatever happened to her) suspended nude, doused with gasoline and burned alive. Several other victims get the same treatment, but we only see the whole process once.

Also a more recent one comes to mind: "Blowback" with Erynn Dana Dalton tied to an upside-down cross, then nailed to it with a pneumatic gun.

Right, and as we have all different sizes and dimensions,
I don't think that would work well.

It also doesn't help with the actual filesize, the image
may look smaller but it's just as much data to transfer.

It isn't a huge problem, just every now and then. I need
to work out a "linkify" button for me to use. Right now
I have to manually edit the message to turn an <img>

That is a good scene. It's been quite awhile since I have seen it. The video store I rented it from BURNED DOWN shortly after I returned it. Kinda freaky, ain't it! But, getting back to the scene, what stops it from being a horrific scene (in my opinion!) is that the special effects make it look fake. There is some nice struggling as she wakes up, and even more before she is torched and realizes what is about to happen to her.

Actually, I wouldn't mind if active images were removed altogether from the page and just have ALL <img> tags converted into <a href>. If one wants to see it they can click on it (perhaps include a target="random text" with the image opening in a new window so one doesn't lose thier place in the forum).
