we don’t deserve a Crispin Glover Joker

We totally don't. But...can you even imagine the magic?

I just watched River's Edge, just an awful movie, but Crispin Glover was fun, proto-Tom DeLonge SoCal punk.

flappy bird, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 05:58 (four years ago) link

I love that movie!

it's quite good... plus babealicious young Keanu

the story just doesn't make sense to me (the silence of the gang around their friend's murder, sort of coerced by crispin glover's weedy leader just seems odd) and crispin glover gets a bit much. him just shouting "feeeeeeeeeeck!" etc.

there's a thin line between Heathers and Sweetie... River's Edge crosses it

Some of the worst Hollywood actor attempts at playing 'punk' I've ever seen

flappy bird, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 17:07 (four years ago) link

I disagree. The characters in that movie are basically the kids I went to high school with.

shared unit of analysis (unperson), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 17:47 (four years ago) link

for sure, everyone except Glover and Reeves (though CG is pretty funny)

flappy bird, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 17:58 (four years ago) link

Err wasn’t River’s Edge was based on a true story?

And it’s great, stfu with these challops.

circa1916, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:01 (four years ago) link

yeah it's loosely based on a true story.

doesn't make its fictional rendering anymore convincing

Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:02 (four years ago) link

Fire in the Sky also based on a true story

Yeah, totally same deal Neanderthal, thank you.

circa1916, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:08 (four years ago) link

Anyways it’s good and I see it as a sorta bridge between like early Spheeris and Larry Clark, Vant Sant teen flicks. Issues with acting or plausibility barely registered to me.

circa1916, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:20 (four years ago) link

over the edge - which the director co-wrote i think - is way better

Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:23 (four years ago) link

Over the Top is the best

When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:27 (four years ago) link

^^also based (very loosely?) on true events?

trenchant joker commentary

Overwhelming praise on the French critical front. Predominant hermeneutic line: 'shit's fucked in America, yo.'

River's Edge is just insufferably corny, the very specific proto-Twin Peaks stilted tone doesn't work for me so the whole movie is just silly and weightless, verging into MST3K territory at times (younger brother pointing gun at Keanu).

Having said that, I despise MST3K and everything they stand for.

Been meaning to see Over the Edge for years

flappy bird, Thursday, 10 October 2019 18:03 (four years ago) link

flappy do you despise mst3k because they are...

...jokers?

love MST3K, i just wish they'd gotten it together to do American Beauty and some other oscar baits.

I just think mocking movies as ritual is heresy

flappy bird, Thursday, 10 October 2019 20:11 (four years ago) link

It’s not mockery it’s commentary

president of deluded fruitcakes anonymous (silby), Thursday, 10 October 2019 20:14 (four years ago) link

it's in our nature to despise things we don't understand

it's fun to watch a movie with friends (AT SOMEONE"S HOME) and riff but I never understood the appeal of MST3K, besides disagreeing with its premise on moral grounds.

flappy bird, Thursday, 10 October 2019 23:54 (four years ago) link

It's like the riffing with friends scenario only actually funny

When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Thursday, 10 October 2019 23:54 (four years ago) link

Every time I go to a party where friends "riff" on a movie, eight people scream over the movie for two hours
