shutters island
a film full of surprises and difficult thought procesing
all in the mind of the fear of beening labeld psychiatric

day-night confusion
moments of drifting away

side of the care takers on the island
the paranoia of never getting out (same as beeing born < just joking)

great movie

You may have opened a huge can of worms by saying this...

Maybe if Adam and I get high enough we can just fly over to Scotland to see your sober, and unimaginably even friendlier than your online persona, ass

. Doesn't ni'k astral project himself all over the world or something? Maybe he'll have some sort of solution.

But, back on the subject of Facebook & cell phones (since it's sooooooo much more interesting than movies

)

Here's a perfect example of the shit I have to put up with every time I check my page, which was posted "about an hour ago".

So I read this...

Quote:

i have a completely different attitude then i did yesterday.

...waiting for the attached image to load, naively thinking that maybe, just maybe, the picture will actually be something intriguing and understandably life-changing.

....

You know what I get?

Quote:

i have a completely different attitude then i did yesterday.

WHAT?! WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF POST IS THAT? I swear, Facebook is the worst online community of all-time.

This girl legitimately spends her whole existence taking pictures of herself, and uploading them online. Her profile picture literally changes multiple times a day. Even in high school, when she was an aspiring photographer, all she would do was take kewt MySpace picz =) <3!!!

Sadly, this person is at the forefront of the local alternative crowd. EVERYONE knows her, and even worse EVERYONE loooooves her!!! Meanwhile, myself, and the few other local cats, who are actually trying to make a name for ourselves by actually creating... well....something!!!, have to bust our asses to get any recognition whatsoever. I just don't get it.

But yeah, I also have to disagree with Adam on the cell phone issue though. I think it's a remarkable advancement in technology! I'm actually surprised that landlines aren't completely obsolete by now. Sure, some people go overboard on the texting, and whatnot. But most people I know seem to have developed decent texting etiquette by now.

In this day and age of QWERTY keyboards, texting shit like "R u mad @ me 4 sumthing" instead of actually taking the time to type out "Are you mad at me for something?" is just immature. I don't even have a phone with a QWERTY keyboard and I've moved beyond that.

she's in Veronica Mars, Pulse, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, etc.

damn, I wanted to read bout some films you guys have seen. instead of that I read from you about, telephones, hot girls, cute girls, strange girls and shutter island (which is great

)
this board is nuts, hahaha

LifeDistortion · 10.21.2010, 07:20 PM

Saw a pretty scratched up copy of this, I think it could be a great movie, but I can only say it was a good movie. Sometimes Netflix pisses me off.

demonrail666 · 10.21.2010, 07:36 PM

6/10

Semi-embarrased to say that it's taken me this long to finally got around to watching this. I felt a bit bad because I couldn't distinguish most of the cast. Just lots of really similar looking boys and girls killing one another. I'm sort of intrigued to see the sequel, though. Sad that Beat Takeshi isn't in it. Atleast I could tell him apart from everyone else - if only because of his tracksuit.

atsonicpark · 10.22.2010, 02:18 AM

Haha, I've seen the first Battle Royale probably a hundred times (probably because it was my ex-girlfriend's favorite movie of all time). It's really good! Silly concept and all, and it feels like it'd get old, but something makes it compelling.. just brilliant performances by the children; they really do a lot of cool shit with the concept... The sequel is THE WORST FUCKING FILM EVER, though. Just about, at least. It's like a war movie! It's horrible.

Since it was buried almost instantly, I figured I'd quote these so people can get them ,since there's tons of interesting stuff here!

It's funny, cos I sort of liked the idea a lot, although it did feel more like the premise for a video game than a movie. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been turned into one - unless it has. I just couldn't get beyond the whole, "ok, so who's this Japanese looking fucker in relation to the fifteen other Japanese looking fuckers I've just been looking at?" It didn't help that they were all in school uniforms, although I should atleast be grateful that it was a mixed school so I could distinguish those in trousers from those in skirts - and the two outright baddies, who they managed to get to stand out by having not wear school uniforms at all. And Takeshi, of course.

It's weird, I never have this problem watching regular war films, where people look even more alike. I just think I hasve a real problem with Japanese faces. If they're fat they all look like odd job and if they're skinny they all look like Ruichi Sakamoto, and if they're female they all really do look identical to me. I'll stop on that though, before I make myself seem even more racist than I actually am.

Anyway, I'll watch BR2 today. The fact you've described it as being so bad makes me all the more intrigued. I just looked at some stills and it seems like they've recognised my problem of 'they all look the bleedin' same' by varying the haircuts a bit, which should help matters on that end, anyway.

shabbray2.0 · 10.22.2010, 06:47 AM

the whole movie kinda smells like blade runner without the futureesque setting.
I love it.

atsonicpark · 10.22.2010, 10:04 AM

Oh yeah, Demon, it's still worth a watch -- then again, I think most things are worth a watch -- I just didn't like it at all.

Wow, al, BLACK RAIN.. I've never even heard of that, Michael Douglas looks ridiculous, it even has the same initials as Blade Runner, haha. Will d/l that.

I got half baked and watched half baked. And I watched the original Toxic Avenger with the commentary a few days ago.
