Man. It sucks to see them glorifying some d*ckhead who brought so many others pain.

he sounds like the ******ed offspring of the wolf of wallstreet.

more like the rat of ratsville.

If you buy yourself a Lambo with the plates BALL R, you probably deserve to go to jail anyway.

haha lol.. sounds like he ball d out of control straight to jailio.

Seriously though...

if your making that much dough how can you just not travel the world and live humble (and still party hard) instead of trying to rockstair your way to the grave or worse.

I have played enogh poker to say: you cant win two 80:20 in a row. I would try only one. And try to win that one ofc.

Heh that's how I've felt lately.

Cycle has been to win money HUNL or NL6 and then punt it off at PLO6

I would stop for 20k, winning 3 all in's in a row is impossible.

are u guys for real? ^^

btw, I want that blond guitarist in my bed. I would rock her world

You must be bored...

^ I hate those liberal bastards too..

Movie post:

Boyhood by director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, the Before Sunrise/Sunset series) is a goddamned masterpiece. I tend to get overly enthusiastic when a movie is fresh in my mind, and it didn't grab me immediately w/ a "holy crap what is happening this is great" reaction that movies like Pulp Fiction, Memento, The Prestige, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, City of God, Glengarry Glen Ross, Big Lebowski, Inglorious Basterds, In Bruges, The Guard, Hangover Pt1, 21 Jump St, and Superbad did, which are some of my other very favorite movies. But nonetheless, I think I would say it right now is my personal choice for best movie ever made. Ridiculously ambitious (it took him 12 years to film), ridiculously authentic, ridiculously touching and moving, and very clever, funny and subtle.

I think it's the exact opposite of things like Wolf of Wall St, The Usual Suspects, and the House of Cards series (to be fair I did only watch 1 ep of the US HoC but really hated it and thought it was horrible). In the respect that these movies have heavy handed and pervasive voice over narration (the main character inexplicably talking to the camera in WoWS and HoC I think is a terribly lame storytelling device). And these works are absurdly sensationalized, filled w/ high stakes and over-the-top events, make very little sense, and have larger than life characters who don't come across as human. Whereas Boyhood is a brilliant film filled w/ extremely likeable and lifelike characters and is a terrific example of "showing and not telling."

Highly recommend everyone watch it.

Also here is a very cool scene w/ Linklater himself acting from his first completely independent movie he directed, "Slacker" (He's the guy talking in back of cab) imo Slacker was a very ingenious movie, but not a particularly cohesive or enjoyable movie.

Happy People: A Year in the Taiga is a Warner Herzog documentary that came out last year about an isolated hunter/gatherer tribe in Siberia. While I don't think I agree w/ the title/thesis of the film - that this tribe is much happier than the avg 1st world person bc they are so much more self sufficient and in touch w/ the earth - I still thought it was a solid documentary and it still is badass to see the tribe's survival skills and self sufficiency.

Mistaken for Strangers is another documentary, about the rockband The National, but more about the dynamic between the lead singer and his underachieving brother who is taggging along the tour as an assistant/documentary filmer/roadie. I'm probably biased bc I love the band, but thought it was another excellent documentary.

While I'm on subject of doc Hearts of Darkness about the making of apocalypse now is great (worth it just to see Martin Sheen's on camera nervous breakdown and Marlon Brando showing up to the gig he was paid 1mill/wk for not having read the script and overweight). And American Movie is a very good documentary about a not very good filmmaker.

Haven't really seen much else lately, except neighbors w/ seth rogen, which had a few amusing scenes, but overall I thought was really really corny and bad.

Also, here's a cool short film I really like from In Bruges/The Guard writer/director, Irishman Martin McDonagh:




tl;dr cliffs: I'm a movie nerd who has strong opinions and likes obscure films

Good recs.. txs.

Been meaning to check out Mistaken for Strangers for a while now, and definitely will at some point. Also a huge The National fan.

Crash has admitted to me, on Skype, that his favorite film is the second installment of the Twilight series closely followed by Divergent.

Don't let him fool you with all the fancy talk.

I watched all of the twilight series, but on fast forward.

Divergent actually seems interesting. Is it actually that bad?

I have no idea. I've seen neither.

I just like to make random statements and harass crashwhips.

Oh dear, Crash is so different from me

Well, you gotto know anyway what those females who're now 18-22 years old were going crazy for in puberty (Aka know your villain.)

Lies. Divergent and Twilight are my 2nd and 3rd favorite films.

My favorite film is the indie masterpiece that is "The Room"



Best scene is at ~1:30
