Finally saw the Revenant. Really good gut-wrenching film.

As I said before somewhere, I have a friend who actually got mauled by a mother grizzly, and it went down exactly like it did in this film.

And he lived huh? Wow. Intense to say the least. All the action scenes from beginning to end had that intensity but that was amazing.

Is that your friend? Holy crap!

It's amazing the presence of mind some people have in such circumstances. The whole movie "The Martian" is about keeping your head when the s**t has really, really hit the fan

That's him. I know him well.

Well I'm impressed. I don't know if he's married but I think the "I got attacked by a Grizzly" story would get him laid a lot.. A high testosterone story..

Requiem For a Dream


8/10

If you're a reader, the book is even better...and I'd probably give the film a 9/10.
The "Last Exit To Brooklyn" book and movie are also worth checking out.
I read "The Room" after those two and, while it had a payoff, it is an extremely difficult book to get through. I decided to give Selby Jr. a break after that and have been reading Cormac McCarthy (No Country For Old Men, Blood Meridian, etc.)

Speaking of NCFOM, I just figured out that the man who hired Chigurh and Wells was also the stapler-loving Milton in Office Space...

A real fun time that is . It's not all depressing though, in that at least you get to see JJL's great tits. Unfortunately the context you see them in is of course tragic/depressing like the rest of it.

I was amazed to learn that Selby Jr. was well known amongst other writers as a kind man who went out of his way to help others, from his books you'd think he'd shoot you for daring to come to his door.
He played the prison guard who taunted Tyrone Love at the end of Requiem, believe he got through life basically on one lung due to TB.

In the Heart of the Sea. I'd give it a 5 or a 6. It's not a bad rental but not a movie I have any desire to watch again.

Took my daughter to go see Finding Dory. It was pretty good.


What is Disney's fascination with kids losing their parents? Kinda creepy/weird en sech??

I'm kinda convinced Pixar is out of ideas. About half of their movies lately have been duds imo which is much different than their earlier track record.

I generally like their movies, but you may be right. However, I actually think Inside Out may have been the best movie of 2015. It was brilliant. Finding Dory was worth the price of admission, had plenty of laughs and a good story, I just noticed that Disney (even before Pixar) seems a little obsessed with the absent parents story arc.

I just googled it. I guess they claim Walt did it originally as homage/guilt about his own Mom, but the majority of their films fall into this category.

Why are so many Disney parents missing or dead?



Kinda weird and is actually traumatic shit for children's movies, IMO.

I haven't seen Inside Out yet but Zootopia, Cars 2 and the Good Dinosaur all sucked.

Thats a good article, by the way. I hadn't figured that Walt Disney's personal bias actually went into issues with parents in childrens movies. I just assumed they moved the parents out of the way so the younger characters could develop. Kids spend so much time in the background that Disney movies provide an escape where they are the ones in charge.
