If you could name any movie and call it an analogy for the Kinja Experience, what would it be?

My thoughts on it:

We have a good idea, grandiose plans and then an ensuing and very ugly disaster that we can't undo.

Movie Analogy:

The Fly

Deep Space is a video game that pisses me off because of how scary it is. Kinja.

Frankenstein.

Bits and pieces of code put together to create a monster.

It could also be porn. Because it's always trying to buttf*ck the shit out of you no matter what you do, even if you're trying to do something simple like make a post. or delivering a pizza. Except there is none of the good feelings that come afterwards.

Um, what kind of porn do you watch? Because... well lets just say I never expect to have to watch my rear when watching porn.

Kinja'd!!!

The Orphanage. It's so sad and scary that at the end, you have to cry. In Kinja, after logging out, you do the same.

I like this one, also each release gets "Less horrible" but that's really the end of praise.

that childcare part was the only part of the game my GF saw me play. I hated those babies.

No idea what this is, but great analogy and looks like a movie to find / watch.

Kung Fu Hustle, the meeting between "strictly speaking, we're only musicians" and the Axe gang leaders. The colours on Kinja 1.2 are impossible for me to see. I doubt I'll be around when the update rolls out.

Really, I thought the first one was ok and then it went downhill from there.

I saw the first one, and thought "Worst Blockbuster ever!" Watched the second and it was a serious improvement, at least Megan Fox wasn't the only pleasant second of the movie... Third one was actually somewhat enjoyable... Mostly for the crazy Asian guy.

1. Saw

Because just when you think it's gotten as bad as it could get , it just gets worse for you.

Even featuring Nibbles himself.

Not a film per se, but something that could happen back when you'd see films in the theatre. . . Kinja is like a perpetually brain-wrapping film, where you get maybe 5 minutes of watching time then the brain wraps and you get to watch the film burn on the screen and then there is the 5-15 minutes of the projectionist fixing the film which will run for another 10 minutes and then repeat the whole cycle so that 2 hour movie turns into a 4 hour experience of watching the film go up in flames on the screen. . .

For reference, this is what it looks like up in the projection booth. . .

It's actually pretty good, but go into it with an open mind.

No pun intended.
