Had anyone seen Gomorrah? Movie was really good but depressing af. I wrote a big paper contrasting it with scarface as the portrayal of organized crime in American pop culture vs Italian neo-realism

Edit: I was wrong I forgot it was actually Italian neo-neo-realism which I thought was a hilarious title because it makes no sense but that is film school for ya

Well that is a very mean thing to say.

Probably true since my sister is doing very well for herself, but I'd like to think that studying film helped make me who I am, perhaps not very financially successful yet but I am very happy and feel like I have a better understanding and appreciation the human experience

I think a lot of it ends up being hearsay but there's always conjecture about directors loving their lead actresses, like Michael Bay and Megan Fox. I recall Kristen Stewart having to break up with her boyfriend because she hosed the director of some film she was working on recently too.

And this is the dirty secret Goddard didn't want to share-- it's fun when the girlfriend is a hot young actress but that phase never lasts.

Well they were asking about my Top Five Films, and those are my Top Five. If we're going to Top 10 then we have:

6. Iron Man 3
7. Thor: The Dark World
8. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
9. Guardians of the Galaxy
10. Avengers: Age of Ultron

But since AoU isn't out on Blu-Ray yet I can't make a simultaneous playlist to alternate with every day, but that's a-coming (like me you see, because i ejaculate when I watch these movies).
