Nothing with too many hearty belly laughs, it was abdominal surgery.
Hardcore Henry. Not kidding. You’d think that’d be too much. But with the movie at +5 speed, and you at -3 speed, it comes off pretty well.
I don’t have any good movie recommendations but I very much enjoyed listening to the album
Avec Laudenum by Stars Of The Lid when I was zonked out on morphine.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
Tron should be a decent watch, good visuals at least, and nothing too heavy.

Requiem for a dream
Nooooooo
Ain’t a single laugh that whole movie.
Great movie but not a fun 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 😂
Have fun!
Oh, I’ve heard of this one, but I never got around to it. Sounds like the perfect time to cross it off my list.
Do yourself a favour, watch the directors cut.
Seconded. When I find out how botched the theatrical ending was, I was glad I started with the Director’s version.
When I had an abdominal surgery, I watched the full extended cut versions of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy
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
– Sir, you need to walk a bit to recover faster.
– Take my signs already and don’t interrupt me!

Watch some documentaries of opioid addiction. Better safe than sorry.
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.
