Hope wrote:Robbo would you recommend any other good, fucked up movies?
Requiem For A Dream, A Clockwork Orange, The Salton Sea, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, Magnolia (one of my favourites, but some don't like it), Memento, Spirited Away, Fight Club.... I could list many more, but it's 3:30AM and I have other things to do.
Oh and EVERYONE SHOULD SEE:
The Assassination Of Richard Nixon, it's a Sean Penn movie. Really good at that.
hahaha, I love every one of those movies that you listed (well, the ones that I've seen). I don't even think of them as fucked up any more because they're pretty much regulars in my catalogue (Requiem, Clockwork, Memento, Fight Club, etc)
I thought Stay was well shot, well acted, and very well directed. Taken for what it is; it was totally cool. But, I dunno what, something seemed to be missing.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
