I nominate Browning if the singular 'd' in his first name isn't an automatic disqualifier.

Happiness was ridiculously good

happily, Todd Field was passed over for In the Bedroom, or Death Wish for NPR Members, as i called it.

Is Joaquin going to accept his Oscar in makeup

When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 17:16 (six years ago)

Oh also yesterday at work I stood in line in Jollibee behind a guy who was dressed as the Leto Joker.

Green hair. Same haircut. He even had the "HaHaHaHaHa" tattoo

:/

Yo, how had I already forgotten that Leto Joker was a thing that'd happened?

Furter-Bursting Tater Squirter (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 17:22 (six years ago)

Judging by his performance, he forgot he was Joker too

*phoenix takes the oscar, academy orchestra plays "Tears of a Clown"*

Now there's someone I would've liked to see portray the Joker!

we don’t deserve a Crispin Glover Joker

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

Furter-Bursting Tater Squirter (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 01:09 (six years ago)

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 (six years ago)

I love that movie!

akm, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 14:05 (six years ago)

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

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 14:20 (six years ago)

yeah, river's edge is good, wtf flappy

No it's bad

river’s edge is good, wtf jim

it's good jim

Simon H., Wednesday, 9 October 2019 15:32 (six years ago)

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.

Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 16:06 (six years ago)

are u .... trolling jim

too many cuckth thpoil the broth (darraghmac), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 16:08 (six years ago)

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 (six years ago)

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 (six years ago)

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

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

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 (six years ago)

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 (six years ago)

Fire in the Sky also based on a true story

When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:03 (six years ago)

Yeah, totally same deal Neanderthal, thank you.

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

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 (six years ago)

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 (six years ago)

Over the Top is the best

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

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

xpost

A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Chooglin (will), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:28 (six years ago)

Yeah apparently!

Xp. Over the top is of course a moving masterpiece

insightful commentary

trenchant joker commentary

When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Thursday, 10 October 2019 10:04 (six years ago)

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

River's Edge is amazing, flappy you dead to me

Οὖτις, Thursday, 10 October 2019 17:41 (six years ago)

Οὖτις, Thursday, 10 October 2019 17:41 (six years ago)

Over the Edge also amazing

people i know who have seen this are saying it's good

One for the poster

When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Thursday, 10 October 2019 17:58 (six years ago)

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 (six years ago)

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.
