Nothing with too many hearty belly laughs, it was abdominal surgery.
Tron should be a decent watch, good visuals at least, and nothing too heavy.
Requiem for a dream
Great movie but not a fun movie
Nooooooo
Ain’t a single laugh that whole movie.
When I was on a bunch of painkillers after some surgery I watched Whiplash. Everyone was like “wow that movie was so intense” but I was so numb I didn’t think much about it.
Don’t watch anything you want to remember 😂
We have a whole community of free movies over at !fullmoviesonyoutube@piefed.social, be sure to check it out!
better make yourself some Epstein brand multigrain muffins. your colon will thank you.
Tenet might be fun.
Watch some documentaries of opioid addiction. Better safe than sorry.
I be had two major surgeries, I’ve only been given oxy for one of them. I took it maybe two days and got off of it as quickly as possible. I hate taking pills, and I didn’t feel like I needed it anyway. Pretty much just made me tired.
Was gonna suggest EEAAO but then saw you say “no belly laughs” so that’s out
- 10,000 Years of Longing
- Being John Malkovich
- The Fisher King (some of it didn’t age well, it was the 80s)
I watched it many years ago, I just remember how trippy the movie was, not much of the plot. I don’t know whether it’s too funny for the state you will be in!
Don’t watch the first few episodes of The Walking Dead while actually in the hospital under heavy opioid medication. That’s how you end up with extremely terrifying and vivid dreams of a zombie apocalypse in the very hospital you’re currently in! Ask me how I know!
I watched 28 Days Later during a delirious fever spell, so I think I understand where you’re coming from, lol.
Requiem for a Dream so you don’t get hooked on them
This is somehow the best AND the worst advice in the whole post.
I mean, add Trainspotting.
With trainspotting you might get some belly laughs in, though.
excellent film
When I had an abdominal surgery, I watched the full extended cut versions of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy
– Sir, you need to walk a bit to recover faster.
– Take my signs already and don’t interrupt me!
I did the same when I had surgery and was couch ridden for days. That was great. I then watched the “Tolkien cut” of the hobbit movies
Priest. I recommended it in a terrible movies thread. It’s Paul Bettany and Karl Urban in a cowboy/ronin/faith-based militia versus vampires film. Critics gave it 16% fresh.
… seriously. Look at this.
Paul Bettany and Karl Urban
Come for the over-the-top Karl Urban as wild west gothic vampire performance.
Stay for Maggie Q being the only sane and smart person in the entire post-apocalypse.
Equilibrium with vampires.
Equilibrium was the first time I saw Christian Bale in a movie, loved it.
Seems odd they’d both end up in the same crappy movie together in that year. May not be remembering movie years well but Urban was least in Star Trek and Bettany in Marvel even if only as a voice but assume the plan was to make him Vision from the start.
Was it entertaining at least? It sounds like it could be a fun watch, in theory…like the synopsis of Red Letter Media’s Best of the Worst movies probably do.
It’s based on a comic series, so the bones are good and the critics are all weenies. I ♡ crappy derivative action schlock.
I won’t say it’s always my thing but sometimes a plain action movie with few cheesy lines is all you’re looking for. Definitely saw enough Chuck Norris in the 80s to confirm that.
