Oof. Just finished Snowtown Murders. I'm traumatized. What a set of performances.

The younger brother's acting in Snowtown was really good
― badg, Thursday, 17 January 2013 04:45 (eleven years ago) link
the main psycho's acting was astonishing. Never for a second did I find him implausible.
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER his expression when he is watching the guy's face while they asphyxiate and release, asphyxiate and release, asphyxiate and release is gonna haunt me to the end of my days SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

Melrose Place (TV Series 1992-1999)
^^honestly one of the best decisions i've made in the past couple of years
― surm, Thursday, 17 January 2013 16:40 (eleven years ago) link
Having now sen it, I think I can probably also recommend "Klown." It's like a cross between "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Bad Santa" and ... "Happiness?" And a bunch of other crass/un-PC/boundary pushing stuff. But mostly basically a long NC-17 episode of a Danish "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Watched "Young Adult" w/Charlize Theron last weekend. Man, is that an arsenic cookie.

i really liked young adult, unexpectedly.
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 17 January 2013 17:29 (eleven years ago) link
Trying to watch Young Adult finally motivated me to figure out how to change the setting on my TV that makes everything look like it's been shot on video. For that I am thankful
― badg, Thursday, 17 January 2013 18:32 (eleven years ago) link
I liked Young Adult to a point, but it sorta left me wondering why I watched. Okay, her life is kinda shitty, it doesn't get better. I didn't want a resolution necessarily but as it stands it's just a journal entry about a shitty weekend. AND.
I dunno. I liked Charlize a lot though, and I don't usually like her.

i don't get how someone could not like charlize
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 17 January 2013 20:16 (eleven years ago) link
outside of some of the shit at the film's climax, which was really the plot's main exposition, I think it was a good story about life and self-image
also hilarious in that her single lifestyle is incredibly relatable in different ways for a part of the population and it looks so stark on screen

Just watched "I Think We're Alone Now" about two disturbed dudes obsessed with Tiffany. Pretty interesting, if a bit depressing.
this is amazing

tell me more about this -- how are they disturbed?

On the spectrum.
It was really good. If I recall, it never really made fun of them either.

it's been a while since I've seen it, but iirc they're both restraining order disturbed

I can probably also recommend "Klown." ...mostly basically a long NC-17 episode of a Danish "Curb Your Enthusiasm." "Two and a Half Men."

skip it, try klown instead

I hear that "Two and a Half Men" is like the American "Klown."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 24 January 2013 21:15 (eleven years ago) link
I hear the AVN Awards are like the Danish CBS sitcoms.

You may have to wait for this Lars Von Trier crossover classic:

Though of course Von Trier's Puzzy Power has already taken us down that route.

any 2 minutes of "Two and a Half Men" will show ya what it's like, same with 3 endless hours of Quen--

I couldn't get into Klown, but it definitely didn't remind me of 2 1/2 men in the slightest. It felt more like a boring Bad Santa.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Thursday, 24 January 2013 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
what about 'mortifying sex hijinks in the company of a pubescent boy'?
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 24 January 2013 21:57 (eleven years ago) link
like Bad Santa?
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Thursday, 24 January 2013 21:59 (eleven years ago) link
i didn't like klown much either tbh
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 24 January 2013 21:59 (eleven years ago) link
Oh man, I watched the Chariots of the Gods movie from 1970 on this last night, and it was fantastic. Probably not to everybody's taste, but it's really crazy and trippy and so much cooler than that "Ancient Aliens" show. The soundtrack was awesome and bonkers too, weird jazz and early synths.

I may end up having a breakdown. My stream queue will take me months to decimate, and now I have to debate getting rid of DVDs I've amassed based on their (possibly temporary) place in the queue and/or whether they're still worth holding onto for the supplements, regardless. It's oddly stressful!
