He was definitely echoing his buddy's style in the paintball story by showing that they are going to make the move from victims by just going balls-out and unleashing on their tormentors who have repeatedly gotten the better of them. Warpaint, shaving head, screaming, it was all about psyching himself up for the final round.

It's quite the gamble that it would be off-putting enough to stop them shooting him as soon as they enter, to be fair.

Yeah, I just realized now he was supposed to look like a neo-nazi to throw them off. Even then, this was the one moment that felt Hollywood-ized, in that I felt like it bent realism a bit for a cool moment.

Really sad, I liked him a lot and I was hoping he'd have a bright future. It's pretty horrifying too. Apparently he got out of his car to go to his brick pillar mailbox, and his car rolled down his inclined driveway and pinned him.

This has seriously been an awful year for celebrity deaths and we're only halfway through. Alan Rickman, David Bowie, Prince, Anton Yelchin....all before their time. If Robin Williams had died in 2016, this would officially be the worst year of the 2010s.

such a sweet movie too  I can't even tell you why it's stuck with me. It's not a revolutionary horror thriller by any means but it's so well put together. I've tried telling my punk fanboy friend about it and it's like "oh it's good?" "yeah. it's good"

Watched this because I loved Blue Ruin, and I was pretty happy with doing so. I really, really like how they just film everything the same way. Someone gets their gut sliced open with a box cutter? No dramatic camera angles or music, no drawing it out; it's just a thing that just happens. It's really interesting how nothing in the film is glorified, I love how that happened and I'd love to see it more.

I was into Roadies up until Imogen's self-indulgent "I exist only to tear down your ideals!" film school naïveté, but the whole point is that she is that stereotype, right down to falling into her own "running back to what she loves" cliche. It was fun, but that was a bit too on the nose.

This movie is really good but man I wish I hadn't seen so many people describe Patrick Stewart's performance as completely terrifying or whatever. It really gives you a false impression of what he's like in the movie, where he doesn't really do anything and at best gives off an effectively menacing vibe.

I didn't feel like he was particularly terrifying (in the dark OR the light) but I thought he was extremely convincing. If I was a frightened teenager with a lot to prove and a shitload of misdirected anger, Patrick Stewart could probably convince me that everything wrong was the fault of THOSE PEOPLE and get me to shave my head.

I think Darcy was perfectly scary if you put yourself in the shoes of the band. Having just witnessed a murder and been held hostage at gunpoint with no way to know whether you were about to be taken out back and shot in the head, you're currently locked in a room with a very big, angry Nazi whose gun you just stole and the boss is on the other side of the door telling you that the police have "come and gone" and refusing to let you out unless you put yourself in a vulnerable position. Patrick Stewart may not be Gary Oldman screaming "EVERYOOOOONNNNEEEEE", but he still has a very commanding presence even when he's just the voice on the other side of the door. If you're a skinhead on his side, he's your father and best friend who knows better than you do 24/7. If he's the enemy, he's very nearly able to convince you to follow his instructions even when they're a good way to get yourself bludgeoned with a bat.

Patrick Stewart wasn't Captain of the Starship Enterprise for nothing.  But yeah, even when he was telling the kids stuff they knew was probably a trick they couldn't help but follow along because he was that commanding, something that Pat found out the hard way with that machete.

And it really is incredible how convincing Stewart is when he's trying to seem like a decent guy to the band. Even as an audience member who's fully aware that he's lying, he sounds exactly like an honest person would. In-universe, Darcy is a guy who can lie right to the face of a person he's about to shoot and seem completely believable when he says he's not trying to hurt you....up until he does. It's a sort of extreme level of immorality that only the worst kinds of killers can achieve.

It confuses me why Pat sticks his whole arm out to give Darcy the gun instead of just tossing it or sliding it out on the floor. It seems like a plot contrivance to do a gore effect.

The best thing about this movie for me, besides everything about this movie, was the quick and brutalness of the violence. Characters die and the movie just keeps going, doesn't even linger for a second because that's exactly how death happens. One second you're here, and the next your gone, and the world keeps spinning and the sun keeps rising without skipping a beat. It was like being punched so fast that you don't even register how fast the punches are coming or how many hits you're taking. It's only through reflecting back on the movie and playing those scenes through your head that you're finally able to catch up and actually process what happened. It's just a really loving great movie that I'm still digesting.

What I like about this film, and Blue Ruin, is people being unfamiliar with firearms: The non-technical line about "this gun has five cartridges cus they're big as gently caress and only five fit inside it", plus the two girls and Pat all missing their shots with the shotgun. I think Imogen Poots' character actually jokes about Pat not being able to shoot it. In Blue Ruin it's established that Macon sucks and can't hit anything. His army friend takes the piss out of him for it too, and there's another line near the end - "I don't know much about guns but I'm pretty sure I've got more bullets than you." It's a great way to build the tension, knowing that a gun in the hands of the protagonist is not a guaranteed win, and is about as likely to escalate the danger as to help.

When poo poo gets real in life nobody becomes an instant action hero, and revenge is never clean. Their best laid plans go to poo poo immediately because nobody acts the way you think they will.

Darcy says something about the gun being a memento after Pat says he is going to throw it. The door is open only barely and his hand is the only thing out the door not his entire arm. You can see him pause in confusion/shock when Amber shouts "They're killing us!". Which is just enough for a red lacer to grab his wrist before he pulls it in. As you say, realistically awkward.

He's a very subtle, manipulative character that manages to ease the band into making some "dumb" decisions as well as pushing his gang into brutal acts of violence.
