wonder what could've lead that guy to decide the character who does pretty much everything while everyone else freaks out is purely decorative

El Gallinero Gros posted:-The only thing I was a bit confused by was why Gabe suddenly seemed to have a change of heart about the whole thing, was it just the whole situation being too much for him, or what? he's also caught defenseless by the now very armed protagonists, shortly after his boss intimated to him that he'd poisoned the guy they were supposedly killing all these people over to shut him up. His alternatives are, what, charge with vaccuum cleaner in hand and get cut down or do nothing, let Darcy clean house without word getting out, and be the next to go as the weakest link in the chain? the red laces are fanatics but for the other nazis it's just the community they live in, not something they wanna die for. even the dog guy isn't willing to just do anything for Darcy A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 21:12 on May 19, 2016 |

chitoryu12 posted:I'm guessing Werm still dies, he's just still at the beginning of his high (which is why he's frozen staring at the TV screen) and the poison hasn't killed him yet. there's nothing to suggest that though, all you see is that he's about as fine as he ever was and everyone else is dead in a scene that isn't really served by any ambiguity. dude seems like exactly the kinda guy who'd make himself a bowl of cereal and put on his favorite show in a room full of dead bodies high or not

chitoryu12 posted:What made me think that is he's just frozen with his spoon in the air blinking at the TV, which is pretty expected of a guy who just shot up heroin. The movie already established that he was given a dose of poison heroin by Darcy, so I can't see it being ambiguous. the creepy staring guy creepily staring at things would be a pretty subtle Da Vinci Code assed clue that he's shot up poison for a movie that leaves very little ambiguity when someone's dead, including the other bandmates. if the intent was to indicate that he's dead too instead of that Darcy's plan to kill him failed (like all his plans) it'd be pretty easy to, y'know, show him keeled over with a needle sticking out his arm like the rest A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 06:25 on May 20, 2016 |

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I'm going off memory here and it's been a week or so, but it had something to do with the song Werm killed the girl to being named Flesichwolf, or "meat grinder" as Amber translates it. I'm not really sure what the greater significance is, but that might fill in another piece of the puzzle. I think it was her cue to sneak off with Daniel. that bit was a little garbled, but Werm says he killed her to the Ain't Rights' song earlier, and the Nazi band hadn't done their set yet. also the details of his murder itinerary don't really matter at that point, both sides are piecing together why the hell their night's suddenly full of dead people

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Werm says he killed her to the Ain't Rights' song, but I remember Amber saying "that was his cue to do it," and the context didn't seem to be about them escaping. I should probably admit that I saw this stoned off my balls (and a little drunk thanks to Drafthouse) and really need to rewatch it sober. That's what I thought I heard too but it doesn't make sense. he's gonna stab her while he's up on stage playing his song? and why would that be an important reveal, who gives a poo poo? and why would she be carrying a napkin with the name of the song she's supposed to get killed to?

yeah he's not thinking tactically and 'handing the gun to Darcy instead of throwing it at him' is not remotely the dumb decision in that scene

King Vidiot posted:Like, the entire point of the movie is that they're in the middle of nowhere in a little club in the boonies that they didn't even know about. They actually kind of acted taken aback at the fact that skinhead neo-Nazi punks were still very much A Thing. I don't think it would've worked as well in an era where the white power skins were just kind of mixed in with the scene. yeah that it's a weird little isolated cult compound kinda deal is sort of the point, that's why Darcy's able to exert such total control. they're not just run of the mill rear end in a top hat gangsters, they're these bizarre throwbacks who're particularly dangerous because they're so far out of touch with the rest of the world. IDK how plausible nazi skins bumming around the woods of Oregon is but they definitely called to mind some of the real shitholes here in the South where the Klan is still a big deal and that lurching sense of 'oh gently caress this is one of those towns' you get passing through A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Aug 8, 2016 |

yeah, but there's drug dealers in every town and they're like recognizably part of the world we live in. little more offputting when you stop for gas and realize there's a chance if you're wearing the wrong thing you might get murdered by some redneck hills have eyes 1840s motherfucker and nobody from the 21st century ever gonna know.

because sentences like thisNESguerilla posted:The band in general felt like something that would have been more at home in the 90s. It was kind of addressed that they were out of the norm for a modern band, but still a lot of the story felt like 1994 with cell phones.

was there ever a big demand for garage punk bands? I think that's always a thing that by definition involved a heavy amount of spanging and riding the rails

precision posted:I think what he's saying is that they didn't seem like the lovely rear end indie punk bands that actually exist right now, and that the mid-90s had better lovely rear end indie punk bands. The DC area has a very active hardcore scene and a constantly shifting rotation of short-lived basement clubs but yeah I've seen what west coast punk looks like these days and nazis would be an improvement A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Aug 9, 2016 |

There was, that last shot is him zonked out and the rest of his band dead. we had a whole thing ITT about how maybe showing him clearly alive was meant to symbolize him dying in a movie that's pretty upfront about when somebody's been killed so choose your own adventure I guess.
