What makes you look away during a movie?

So I finished watching 127 hours this evening. I thought the movie was a 7 at tops, but this is not a movie review so I'll stick to the topic of "What makes you look away during a movie?" aka got dam this is nasty I can't look at it anymore.

For me, I just could not stand watching the guy stab himself! Granted, I just finished dinner so I was fully loaded, but dam I felt sick watching! I had to stand up and walk in circles to get away from the TV.

2 min 20 seconds is the scene I'm talking about:



I was a bit shocked that my body had this reaction. I now know that I can't stand see someone inflict pain on themselves such as the guy stabbing himself. The blood was fine and dandy. I was telling my sister that I can watch someone being shot and bleeding out, but dam I can't take this stabbing!

So what kind of scenes make you turn away? I know for Andy it would be any scary monster scene. I also know others that couldn't stand watching the neddle pit scene in one of the Saw movies. I'm including the scene below for those that have not seen it.



I found this 127 hours remake with Lego pieces. Pretty funny if you've seen the movie.

lmao. watching the lego guy cut his arm off with a smile was entertaining =P

unfortunately for me, this scene was still not enough to make me look away. nothing seems too gory anymore
