Scape Goat TRTT Part 5: A Good Day to Ken Hard

[Magpiespower]

I'm so tempted to go see this. Convince me otherwise.

Lol, not sure I can. Coz I was with it for most of the way. Even if Jennifer Lawrence plays the most passive central character since I last saw an Aussie fillum.

The third act is completely batshit. Aronofsky to the max. He throws the kitchen sink at you. Literally. No really. Actually, it's more like the whole f@%king kitchen.

Look, it's Aronofksy, so you've gotta expect a bit of undergraduate wank. But I reckon it's worth seeing. Pretty polarising, tho...

I've been challenged to watch The Room all the way through tonight.

Should be 'fun'.

You won't regret it.

I second what bomber said. If possible try to find it showing somewhere, I know the Palace Nova cinemas in town used to show it from time to time. Trust me it really adds to the experience.

From both personal experience and anecdotally, the first run through is always the hardest. Once you've popped the seal of "oh, so this is what it's like" it becomes compulsively rewatchable.

I watched it once and thought the good clips on YouTube were the only bits worth watching in it still. That was a while ago so I might have to have another whirl. Some people swear it's great the whole way through.

I heard Franco's adaption of The Disaster Artist is incredible.

I'm halfway through the book, it's really good.

Got a couple things in the reading queue but I'll definitely put it in my next book depos order. One of those ones I keep forgetting. Apparently Greg Sistero is a great guy too.

Voted "yes". Did not hear one single cogent argument from the "no" camp that wasn't a red herring.

I saw one guy on Facebook (friend of a friend) saying he voted no because he hates f*gs.

Literally the most respectable reason to vote no, because it's actually honest and cogent.

The friendship story is actually the best part about it, the alternate chapters about the making of the film are somehow less interesting.

Lol

Voted no because you voted yes.

The best part about that budget is that, without hyperbole, it looks like it cost 1% of that.

 

[Dylan8]

Voted no because you voted yes.

I work at the post office and I've been throwing yes votes in the bin

"And what haunts me, is that in all the faces of all the bears that Treadwell ever filmed, I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature. To me, there is no such thing as a secret world of the bears. And this blank stare speaks only of a half-bored interest in food."

Man I could give that another look right about now.

I was talking to a family member over the weekend who said they were unsure which way to vote. I asked them that if they could do something that wouldn't cost them a cent or affect their life in any way that would make at least one other person happy would they do it? They answered yes so I told them to vote "Yes".

good work

In the great 'leitmotif' debate on another thread I saw this come up at the end of a clip from Flying High...




I'm waiting to see what 1950s B-movies such comedy classics as Caddyshack, The Blues Brothers and Animal House were based on.

That's because there aren't any (cogent arguments that is, not red herrings).

My mother is in her mid 70s and deeply religious, her life revolves around her church (and footy) - she voted yes without a second thought.

I don't really mind either way, what does get me though, is how come the government can't spend the same sort of money that they spent for this on the homeless.
