[quote=The Rodent]Holy cow... after all these years, I've only just realised that the guy playing the miner at the start of Jurassic Park is the same actor who played the punk Archie in Repo Man.[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]How to make Pulp Fiction even better - Part I:

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]Yeah. Hard for me to tell where your narrative is going Minio. I guess that's the whole charm of your angle. Sucks being me.[/font][/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]Dunno, dude. I watched it alone in my dark room, and had the best cinematic experience in a long time.[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][quote=Iroquois][quote=Powdered Water]I'm not sure I'd have a hard time explaining [i]Mandy[/i]. I've watched a lot of crappy 80's flicks. Crappy 80's flicks that are GREAT, that is.

[i]Mandy[/i] was OK. I think the so-called shock value will wear off and it will end up in the pile with all the rest of the flicks before too long. It's really just a revenge story.[/quote]

Like Ebert said, it's not what it's about but how it's about it. Even the greatest movies can be broken down into some trite-sounding log line, and describing [i]Mandy[/i] as "a revenge story" really doesn't do much justice to the audio-visual experience it crafts. Of course, you are right in that we have to wait and see if it stands the test of time, but I feel pretty confident about its chances.[/quote]


[font=century gothic]I'm sure a probably too loud theater experience really influenced my notion of the film. 

Then again, some of the imagery seems to elevate this beyond gory revenge film.

The shot of him turning the corner to face Brother Klopek. Ah hell, just look...

[quote=doubledenim][quote=Iroquois][quote=John McClane][quote=Iroquois]Hell, I kept thinking I'd quit once I'd done the Women's Countdown. The problem is that this site's longevity and the duration of my own membership has made it hard to just up and quit. I think the last time I did this was in 2010 or so but I still came back, so who knows what it'll take for me to really turn my back on this place for good.[/quote]

Mostly ditto: the human condition sucks. :yup:[/quote]

What gets me is how sometimes the reasons one can think of for deliberately quitting social media and online communities can so easily sound like the words of suicidal people. You don't think it's worth going on, nobody else will really miss you when you go (or maybe they will and yet that doesn't help) and so on and so forth. Like you said, the human condition sucks (the actual condition, not the Kobayashi film).[/quote]

[font=century gothic]Life is hard and very sad. Being neurotic (me) doesn't help. The realization that you can't help everyone was always hard for me to grasp. 

I'll miss Camo, but I'm more worried about the people here trying to make it work. I guess some could see that as being cold, but you can't do everything.[/font][/quote]

What's with all the Ren and Stimpy Gifs[/quote]

[font=century gothic]I was thinking the same thing. Why aren't there more Ren & Stimpy gifs?[/font][/quote]

Soooo true, I love ren and stimpy[/quote]
