    Season 5 of Game of Thrones, there were two scenes that ruined that whole year:
    Ramsey's rape of Sansa
    Burning a 12 year old girl at the stake.
    We have seen many scenes of brutality on this hit cable show but those two really upset me.

    Shameless is an entertaining dramedy on Showtime (and first four seasons are now available on Netflix) but there are some scenes that go in for "gross out humor" that just makes me wanna puke.

    scene where the kid took a big spoonful of dip, hated it and spit it back in the bowl which was later shown being eaten at a tailgate party...
    When the father sneaked in and took his daughter's fiencee's toothbrush and rubbed it against his testicles and his butt crack and later we see the boyfriend brushing his teeth with it.
    Pissing in the boyfriend's boots...

    The fake boobs on one of the female regulars. I want to look away whenever she does a topless scene.

    Goldeneye is disturbing. Disturbing to think @Thunderfinger hates this fantastic film. ;)

    Cubby was getting senile.

    To think he got four in all was truly disturbing.

    I feel deep and profound man-love for Pierce Brosnan.

    Glad you could admit that @Thunderfinger. ;)

    I find all recent shows with 22+ episodes season very disturbing. With the arrival of Amazon/Netflix who produce masterpieces with 10 episodes per season, I can't watch shows with so many filler episodes anymore. The only show in that style I liked in the last 6 years was 'Person of Interest'. Give me 'House of Cards', 'Banshee', 'Justified', 'Narcos' over bloated shows with over-long seasons.

    Definitely @DaltonCraig007

    I find myself losing interest with a 20+ episode season. Probably why I love Banshee and Daredevil so much! Quality over quantity.

    Nearly all crime shows today are disturbing, with close-ups of autopsies and what have you. Earlier you would only see that kind of thing in forbidden cannibal movies.

    I agree that seasons over/close to 20 episodes is a major drag. So much obvious padding and when you just want to rewatch the narrative unfold again for a season, there's so much ahead of you to get through it almost doesn't feel worth it. Years of watching shows with shorter seasons has made me largely unable to go back unless I really, really like the show.

    10-13 episodes is the magic number for me, and many, many shows make the most of a tighter, more focused season arc with it now. Netflix uses this method, as does HBO, with the BBC doing even less. The season should only be as long as it needs to be to tell the desired story, whether that's 5 episodes, 10 or 13. But 24? No, now you're just losing me. Seasons on the major networks in the states like ABC, NBC and CBS begin interesting at the very start, but after you reach episodes 18-24, you lose the plot much like the writers have, and all the momentum of earlier reveals or conflicts is lost in the mess that is an overly padded, unfocused season. Maybe they'll catch on some day...

    I find any movie that glorifies the CIA or British intelligence disturbing.

    Anything Woody Allen, Dennis Dugan or Chuck Lorre makes. That’s supposed to be comedy guys? Everyone acts like they’re constipated. The amount of sex humor and kids saying or doing gross or weird things in their average work leads me to believe that these three are sex offenders or pedophiles. Also, W or Vice. It’s so sickening how much power Dick Cheney thought he had. He basically thought he was the president. And now, we’re paying for it.

    Passion of the Christ is the only film I've had to walk out of. The whipping scene was so brutal and went on for so long I thought I was going to faint. Had to leave the auditorium for a few minutes although I did go back for the rest of the movie. What was quite charming however was that when the film was over two ladies who were sitting near me came over and asked me if I was ok.
