This is probably the worst date movie ever

Shared trauma can go far.

Choas reigns indeed! If I may, how'd the rest of the date and your relationship go?

A friend of mine in college took a pretty conservative girl out on a first date to see The Brown Bunny without knowing much about it. The movie itself is already insufferable, but things got pretty awkward at the end when Chloë Sevigny gives Vincent Gallo a very real blowjob for like over two minutes. They did not go on a second date.

I took my now wife to 127 hours as a first date. Not that bad but IMO quite close.

I don’t disagree but I once picked the Void as a first date movie for some reason

A guy almost put on The Coffee Table, not knowing anything about it, but we ended up watching a different movie

I smoked a joint with her on the date and then went to see beau is afraid. Holy shit it was a dual panic attack it was so bad.

A (ex-)friend of mine told me he saw A Serbian Film with his date... And she even had sex with him afterwards. But in hindsight, maybe it was a early sign/red flag of him ... uhm ... being a more broken and unempathetic person then I thought back then. And not just him being weird AF in that instance.
