requiem for a dream

Some of the trips remind me of massive amount of
cough-medicine I used to take. It contains a heroin-base of
some sort, so it isnt far from it


you've just been awarded the royal jeroen stamp of
cockcheese

i thought that this part of what he said was much worse...
The worst thing about this movie is that there is no
"upper". There is not that "save the day"-feeling you
normally experience in mainstream movies. It just keeps
going down, and down, and down...


i thought that was perhaps one of the films better sides.

Oh, I liked it a lot the first time I saw it. I was maybe 16
and since then I've learned to stop considering directorial
gimmicks as radicality.

If you want real terrible bleakness, may I suggest Michael
Haneke's Der Siebente Kontinent. It doesn't flash limbs and cocks at
you but it's the most unbearably hopeless thing I've ever
seen. See it and get very depressed.

Never seen the movie but the book was good.

Saw Trainspotting for the first time recently. It was ok.
:-|

I want to try heroin sometime, seems like an edgy, artistic
thing to do.

the irony is comments like that make you sound even more
immature.

i still like this movie in my head but i havent seen it
since it came out, its a decent film of an excellent book
which is a rare enough feat in itself. add on all the
directorial flash and it works really well in my eyes.

not a patch on pi though. thats an excellent film.

IX, I'm sorry that you like the movie, it doesn't make me
immature to shrink from my 15-year-old self, I think most of
us (maybe not you since you are pretty much 15 right?) would
find things about ourselves back then to be pretty silly.
It's an awkward age.

no, the impression you're giving is that you're better than
anyone who likes this film. the subject matter is
irrelevant, you're presumptuous attitude just comes across
as immature.

first time i saw it i was really impressed and shocked.

second time i saw it the music annoyed me and i realized it
is not really that great, more effectist and empty than i
first thought.

id rated is as 'ok', not a bad film, but definetly not an
excelent film.

i think it is that kind of generational films, like
trainspotting, that are more famous and mitical for what
they meant to a group of people at a certain moment, than
for its real qualities (which they have)

take a breather, i don't care one way or the other if you
like the movie, in fact i didn't read your post in the
thread before i made my initial one. i read mine, and was
embarassed! i didn't even mention anyone else in my post,
where are you pulling this from, you insecure little thing
