You know what we ought to be getting on?
The films of Harmony Korine.
Oh dirk come the fuck on.
We have eternity now, you know.
Gummo is inevitable. Such is the impenetrable wisdom of Paradox Space.
Is swiss army man not good enough for you now???
I never said that.
It's maybe... a sixth of the way there.
I can appreciate its surrealist elements.
Hey, baby steps. Next, we can give Come and See a try.
Dirk.
No? Sean Baker's Red Rocket?
Dirk!
You're right. Klimov and Baker ain't even on the same playing field.
They're playing on two completely separate fields, still waiting to strike out. It just so happens that one of those fields happens to be in Belarus, and the other in San Francisco. It's an easy mistake to make, but don't be fooled.
That little Russian kid's got more gusto than you'd take him for at a cursory glance.
Those arent harmony korine films and you very well know it.
Come on man look hes about to do the bus scene. Oh i just LOVE the bus scene.
How could I forget. You know so much about the meta of being the most performative moviegoer. You weren't even around for Red Rocket.
Neither were you on account of the whole not being born yet dealie.
That's arguable. "Being born"? Are you ready to argue semantics?
Im just saying youre not gonna slip me the friggin jimmy man i see through you!
Because I'm ready to argue semantics, Jake.
"Slip the jimmy"? That's new.
Words can mean anything i darn want them to!
It means get one over me! Pull a fast one!
Now..
HUSH!!!
DANIEL RADCLIFFE, AS MANNY, ON SCREEN, STARING FORLORNLY AS A PRINTED PICTURE OF THE CITY SCROLLS BY THE BUS WINDOW: So, this is it. This is the life I've forgotten. I'm gonna ride the bus every day.
PAUL DANO, TO MANNY, RE: FEM!DANO: She's just alone as you are, but she doesn't have to be. You... could talk to her.
Ah how this makes me feel 14 again. Like not even a day has passed.
Truly a figure of the halcyon days.
I dont even really know why i never bothered to revisit it now that i think of it.
Normally theres a wellkept tally vaulted away in this noggin o mine for each film i deem worthy.
And this one... boy did it make me look forward to things. Hehheh sitting there thinking id have my own head over heels bus moment.
I suppose I could see how this movie would resonate with you,
blatant homoerotic imagery withstanding.
Alright, not to circle back, but really, what's wrong with Korine-brand poverty porn?
I'd imagine it's close enough to your esoteric 70's alien
Oh thats a rotten dirty LOW BLOW you scoundrel.
It was all i had and you KNOW it!
Can't say I'm faulting ya.
You're lucky that the blue chicks thing has a traceable origin.
It's like those kids who develop inflation fetishes only because they stumbled upon some fucked up Digimon art too early. Kinks are one hell of a gamble and, for the record, I don't think you got the short end of the stick. Be grateful.
They are the universe's true randomness attribute, distributed only by the whims of slot-machine logic.
Maybe you have a frigging gambling problem then dickwad ever thoughta that?
It was all i had and it was a gem of a cultural artifact now stick that back up where it came from.
