he's seen them except for spun. cheers.

ni'k 06.21.2010 10:52 AM

this kid is a fucking demon when it comes to drugs.

its like he has some inner spiritual drive propelling him to take all drugs, like its beyond the desire to get fucked up and some sort of hobby.

he said to me the other day "man, last night when we ran out of meph and booze we tried to open up some batteries to drink the stuff inside them".

luckily they couldnt open the fucking things and mentioned this to me so i could explain before it was too late. haha.

nicfit 06.21.2010 11:02 AM

If he liked requiem for a dream no one can help him.

Rob Instigator 06.21.2010 11:03 AM

he's askin for trouble!

Rob Instigator 06.21.2010 11:05 AM

I found requiem for a dream intolerable, and I enjoy drugged flicks

ni'k 06.21.2010 11:11 AM

i know. i met him years ago and the first thing he ever said to me was "man can you get me some crack", "man i'm a total fucking crackhead". when he was 14.

he came up to someone 2 years his senior on the street and asked them for crack, like he thought pretending to have taken crack was the right lie to impress someone who he wanted to be friends with.

i actually cut up little squares and drew cartoons on them, rubbed them in incense and put them in a baggy and considered selling them to him for 40quid and saying it was lsd. but he turned out to be a dead on guy and he's into black metal, and now noise, so he's sound.

i swear to fuck my town makes xenia ohio look fucking bourgeios.

"Requiem" is fucking terrible. It's like an overwrought D.A.R.E. commercial for christ's sake.

batreleaser 06.21.2010 11:46 AM

All my old high school buddies are on Oxycontin or Heroin or both or whatever's cheaper (usually heroin). They are poor and unambitious and ridiculous, it's hard for me to go home and enjoy thier company at all, all bickering with one another about who is the worst drug user, blah blah.

MOST HIGH is probably my favorite drug movie ever.

I think Requiem for a Dream is one of the worst films I've ever seen... good call on Drugstore Cowboy, though, LOVE that movie!

^Scream rules. I don't care what anyone thinks/says. I honestly rate that movie like a 9/10. Fucking brilliant and perfect.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 06.21.2010 09:38 PM

I personally prefer Student Bodies.

 

noisereductions 06.21.2010 10:13 PM

Student Bodies blows. It's not funny. And it's boring. And how can you even compare them? Student Bodies is parody, and scream is homage. Pfft.

atsonicpark 06.22.2010 12:50 AM

Student Bodies is one of my all time favorite films, a true masterpiece. I've watched that movie probably 20 times, everyone I've watched it with thought it was absolutely brilliant and hilarious... they really knew what they were doing with that one, they really "got" the slasher genre.. man, the atmosphere is incredible... and the whole thing is hilarious! HORSEHEAD BOOKENDS! Hahaha. Oh my god, that movie absolutely rules. Easily the greatest horror movie parody AND homage ever. And yes, Student Bodies and Scream are pretty similiar, though Scream is a bit more "serious" (I'd say Student Bodies is more similiar to Scary Movie -- but the idea of Scary Movie was stupid -- how can you do an homage/parody to an homage/parody? It's like someone doing a parody of Naked Gun or something!)

My ratings = Student Bodies: 8/10
Scream: 7/10
Scream 2: 4/10
Scream 3: 3/10


...Ladies and gentlemen, in order to achieve an "R" rating today, a motion picture must contain full frontal nudity, graphic violence, or an explicit reference to the sex act. Since this film has none of those, and since research has proven that R-rated films are by far the most popular with the moviegoing public, the producers of this motion picture have asked me to take this opportunity to say "Fuck you." [the MPAA R-rating logo appears on the screen]


And THe Breather is so much more awesome than Ghostface..

atsonicpark 06.22.2010 01:08 AM

I recently got every single episode of Beavis n Butthead and Duckman, so I've been watching all those. A bunch of the B'n'B episodes have the videos too!

I like when they're watching the Jesus Lizard and they go, "If you're gonna suck, you might as well try to kick ass, like, Jesus Lizard, they suck, but they kick ass."

kung fu hustle rules!!!!!!! Stephen Chow is a genius, honestly. I've seen 5 of his movies and loved them all.

atsonicpark 06.22.2010 04:08 AM

 

Gallivant - 9/10

batreleaser 06.22.2010 09:17 AM

Saw Toy Story 3 and it was pretty fucking hilarious, the 3d was pointless though.

Lots more subtle (a.k.a.) not so subtle perverted sex references thrown in. A brainwashed Buzz Lightyear says, "Any doubt I had was pounded out of me at the academy."

4/10

 

6/10, I am going to get hated for this

 

6,5, one of his weakest works

Dr. Eugene Felikson 06.22.2010 10:54 AM

lol Duckman...how long of a series was that?

Dr. Eugene Felikson 06.22.2010 10:56 AM

Care to go more in depth on your opinion of Slacker, lou?

Rob Instigator 06.22.2010 11:01 AM

I think a 6 out of 10 for Slacker is just fine.
while there are some very cool parts, the whole is not as great as the individual bits that one remembers.

Well yeah it's way to slow, not in a good way. I mean SurUbia is also very low tempo but keeps being interesting(through the back stories and stuff like that). Slacker on the other hand doesn't, it just sadly reminds me kind off of my own life but that's not the point. The point is I started watching it and found it really great but wen the ending came I was lucky to switch it off.

I support rob's thoughts also

I'll have to check out SubUrbia eventually. Hopefully, I enjoy it as much as I do, Slacker, as opposed to how much I suffered through Dazed & Confused, and School of Rock.

No, I agree with that score completely. It, without a doubt, went on way longer than it needed to. I mean it was good, but it felt like it was missing something.

Ok I quit now...but seriously go see SubUrbia.

atsonicpark 06.22.2010 03:38 PM

Slacker is amazing. 8/10. The performnaces in that one are brilliant. The JFK book guy, and the guy with all the televisions in his house. Genius movie. How did it go on too long? It's like 80 minutes, never gets boring, constantly thrusting you in new scenarios, just some of the most brilliant dialogue ever,seems effortless in how good it is, all those long takes are breathtaking... one of the least boring films I can think of.

I didn't care for Salo; too long, good atmopshere and Morricone music though.

atsonicpark 06.22.2010 03:40 PM

Also, Totally Fucked Up is a masterpiece, but I agree it's probably Araki's worst. He never did anything bad though.

I agree, Slacker > Salo.

I enjoyed Salo, but I think I enjoyed it for the wrong reasons. It's not supposed to be a comedy is it? The entire premise is so ultimately silly. How can one not bellow when the subtitled phrase "CIRCLE OF SHIT" pops up on his screen? Or curdle their tongue in laughter, at the thought of sewing a live rat into a young teen's vagina? Dominance is always funny. Just look at high school bullies. Hilarious.

atsonicpark 06.22.2010 03:51 PM

Eh. I read the book and the book definitely is a "fun" read, but the movie was just silly and stupid. "MOST DISTURBING MOVIE EVER" my ass. Maybe for those who haven't seen Kichiku Dai Enkai. It was just stupid. Those laughing old men with binoculaurs.. just ridiculous. The director was killed over that stupid fucking movie?!

Dr. Eugene Felikson 06.22.2010 03:53 PM

He was killed over it? What? Huh?
