So I Am Legend would be "IAM" and would still come first, but then it'd be the Ice Cube Collection next because I Heart Huckabees' call number would be "IHE".

I didn’t think this would be the crowd to get uptight about KIDS.  I graduated in 06, for context, and saw it by chance in late 05. I didn’t even see the whole thing but ended up picking it up and having my mind blown. As others have mentioned, it’s got a killer soundtrack, I love how it’s shot and the DIY aspect of the production. Super quotable, funny, sad, and just unlike anything else I’ve come across. I definitely showed it to my buddies and horrified them years back. It’s novel but also genuinely dope. In conclusion: Teenage Fansub posted:Hey, man. You got distick?

It was pretty much my intro to subversive movies as a 14-ish year old. It did the trick. I should watch Bully again.

FilthyImp posted:It digs to the depths of human misery, pettiness and strikes at our notion that there is justice and kindness in the world. I don't understand the last part. I mean, it's been a while since I watched the film... But I thought that the film took a critical view to war in general. After all, when the brother speaks about his father in the navy, there's a bit of dramatic irony, since we know he's very likely killed in action.

Bully was alright but then I learned that Larry Clark is probably a pedophile or something so that put me off rewatching any of his movies. It also helped contextualize why he loves to put teenagers in their underwear in his movies.

How long does Vinegar Syndrome typically take to ship? I received my order confirmation last week but no shipping email yet. I am in Canada so that may factor into it.

I think it took like 8-10 days to ship when I ordered something for Black Friday.

Most of the year it's a lot quicker, Half-Way and Black Friday sales are just super high volume for them, so it takes longer.

The USPS has been better about tracking lately, but there's still a 65% chance I'll get no updates until it's out for delivery.

I highly recommend The Changeling, it's one of the best haunted house movies ever in my opinion. Burial Ground is bizarre as hell and worth checking out.

After all, when the brother speaks about his father in the navy, there's a bit of dramatic irony, since we know he's very likely killed in action. True, but there's never any doubt that the brother idolises his father above all. To him, the image of the stout navy admiral represents a true hero, fighting on behalf of Japan against evil foreign forces. The film never dwells on it, but it's absolutely written from the perspective of characters who were brought up on and consequently internalised a facist mindset. Had he been born ten years earlier, the brother would quite happily have marched off into war. I don't think this detracts from the emotional impact of the story, quite the opposite. Like Germany Year Zero, Grave of the Fireflies makes us keenly aware of the fact that while the defeat of facism was a net benefit on a societal level, its downfall still caused untold destruction among innocent people. Even a justifiable war comes with a heavy price.

To him, the image of the stout navy admiral represents a true hero, fighting on behalf of Japan against evil foreign forces. The film never dwells on it, but it's absolutely written from the perspective of characters who were brought up on and consequently internalised a facist mindset. Had he been born ten years earlier, the brother would quite happily have marched off into war. That's part of the tragedy of the film, though. His father is portrayed to us through this boy's vision, and he is this heroic figure. But he's a hero who never comes, and is unable to help his children, most likely because he's dead too. God drat it, you're going to make me watch this film again so I can better discuss it. Aren't you? Also, what you just said reminded me of Patlabor 2: the Movie. One of the themes in the film is the idea of an unjustified peace. And one of the characters basically says it's better thana justified war. I totally recommend watching it. It's made by the same guy who did Ghost in the Shell.
