I imagine most pro-boondock saints feeling comes from an 'irish pride' sentiment

i once bailed out of a party when the cops showed up and ended up across the hall in this girl's apartment. lots of candles, and this movie playing on a flatscreen.

idk about irish pride in what's on display in TBS tbph but can't speak for irish-americans obv, a certain house of pain celtic-cross tattooed ethos might find something in there i guess

I like Norman Reedus but I have no desire to see this movie.

lol @ this from the Overnight wiki:
Duffy is finally able to obtain independent financing for the film, although it totals less than half of its original forecasted production budget. Boondock Saints is promoted at the Cannes film festival, but all the major American distribution companies pass on the film. The film manages to receive a limited release in five cities, but performs poorly and is pulled after a week, and is released on DVD and VHS. Although positive reviews of the movie begin to spread via word-of-mouth and the film becomes a financial success, Duffy's contract with Miramax stipulates he cannot profit from the film's video sales.

the fact that nobody on ilx has ever defended the boondock saints is one of those small things that separates this place from the rest of the internet

sneaking suspicion frogbs would if he were still w/ us (rip)
He praises and thanks his fans at length, explaining that he owes his success to “one guy who’s a Boondock fan strapping his boy to a chair and forcing him to watch this movie, and an hour and 45 minutes later, you got yourself another droolin’ Boondock fan.” Many of the things he put into the sequel are solely as nods to the fans—for instance, a drinking montage is there because so many fans said they’d love to have a drink with the protagonists.
― RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Monday, 20 February 2012 23:28 (twelve years ago) link
He does try to get Dafoe to talk about his craziest Boondock fan experiences—Dafoe claims he hasn’t had any—and tries to get him to talk about the film’s lasting appeal. Dafoe responds “I don’t know, I just think for young men, there’s a vigilante fantasy thing. I don’t know, sometimes I scratch my head. I’m not responsible, because I’m the gay detective. Sometimes I’m like ‘Jesus, what is this movie about? What am I involved with here?’”

Tracer talked about going into see Children of Men blind, someone else mentioned that they say The Fifth Element knowing v. little about it, and then someone else said they had a similar experience with Fight Club, then there was talk of 'apologists' and shit went off.

What, you mean the fucking incredible action climax!? Increasingly over-the-top action, when well done (the professional, time and tide, the long kiss goodnight) has been the best thing about the movies in the last 40 or so years.

Congratulations to Ronin and ooooh I got quoted. Probably the most exciting thing to happen to me today. (My life is very little like an action movie.)

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead? Actiony? Probably not. But that's another good Hawke movie, imo.
