I watched this whole video, it's awesome. edit: Polanski chat, Chinatown is goddamn incredible. It's not as good as this video right here where the lizard eats a lot of fruit but it's still good. Calamity Brain fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Mar 18, 2015 |

It's weird but I honestly don't think I enjoy any of his other films quite as much as Macbeth. It's so gloriously bleak.

USA America #1. maybe this'll cheer you up because I can't stop laughing about it: my girlfriend's been out of town for about a week. the other night she called me to frantically explain a nightmare she had where I had a horrible life-threatening disease, and the only cure was to transplant my brain into Brian Posehn's body.

I never felt a strong way about casinos before but as soon as I walked through the slot machine area for the first time I was like "wow, I absolutely understand the anti-casino argument now" Uncle Boogeyman fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Mar 18, 2015 |

In my experience Vegas has changed too much to really compare it, maybe the old strip? MGM and the loving pyramid thing and stuff are just too clean and loud. But I never handled hallucinogens very well.

My co-workers and I got very drunk at work last night because it was inexplicably dead for a bar on st paddy's day, and I tried to fall asleep in one of the booths in the back. Which would have been bad because if no one noticed I was there, I would currently be locked in my bar, hungover with bad phone service and a giant metal shutter blocking me from the outside world. The moral of the story is that there's a little SCH in all of us.

On a serious note, goon self-flagellation is like my least favorite part of goon culture so on second thought I'm not gonna let the "no haha we're awful people" jokes slide. Y'all fuckers are by and large decent people at the very least. I don't watch Polanski or Allen movies but it's preposterous to act like that poo poo's a disqualifying criterion or whatever. I know this post is taking poo poo way too seriously but I mean it and I don't give a gently caress. I don't think I've ever really had a conversation on CineD where Iegit felt like the other person was taking a morally reprehensible position, outside of drive-by trolls I guess, and do you big dumb idiots understand how rare that it for a loving Internet forum. So yeah you guys are alright by me, even if Ken repeatedly hurts my feelings by not appreciating Linkin Park and Jaden Smith.

I've only been to a Casino once to go see NIN (Mohegan Sun) and I found the whole thing just pretty depressing. I think the thing that really got to me is while I was wandering around I saw a sign pointing to an Arcade, and I went there and literally all the games in the arcade were ticket games of some kind. And not even the ones that have skill involved. It was all just various prize machines and games of chance. Like it was pretty much an area designed so you could drop your kid's off and they could also gamble to the extent that they were legally allowed to. They weren't willing to have a machine in their Casino that wasn't all about getting it to pay out.

I'm actually the worst kind of person because I act like I have convictions and stuff but when I'm presented with even the slightest resistance to them I buckle and make up excuses for it later.

Unrelated but for years and years there was a sign for an arcade next to this gas station my mom would always go to to get gas and every time she got gas I would twerpily be like "mom can I go to that arcade?" And she would freak out and say no and I never understood why. So one time I asked my dad and he said sure but they wouldn't let me in because I was like 14 and I tried to tell them that I just wanted to play Mortal Kombat 3 or whatever and I learned that more things are called arcades than just video game places.

That's why I hate Las Vegas and if I'm ever traveling west and need a connecting flight, I try to do it somewhere else. You step off a plane in McCarran International Airport and the first thing you see in the terminal is a half-dozen slot machines. You haven't been in the area for 30 seconds and they're already trying to take your money.

I wanted to be interested in Venus in Fur (even though I've only seen two Polanski movies and I was lukewarm on Rosemary's Baby), but Polanski doing a movie with such strong sexual elements where the main actress is his wife and the actor looks a lot like him really turned me off. I can usually separate horrible human beings from their work, but not for that film. Skwirl posted:Yeah, everything he's written about that job sounds loving heinous and beyond the pale for even the most bogus corporate poo poo. I'd have to assume he's being paid a thousand dollars a night to usher that sex party from Eyes Wide Shut for it to be worth it. It's actual decent hourly pay for a customer service job, and I really need the money so I don't literally drain my mother's bank account dry. Beggars can't be choosers, unfortunately, so I have to follow through on this for as long as I can put up with it and the constant anxiety it is causing me.  Though this all might be moot because I am already way too concerned whether the pants I bought for this job are going to arrive in the next 45 minutes or if I'll have to run out and buy some ones that they might not like. In theory 'black straight slacks with pockets and belt loops' seems simple, but womens' pants suck and usually are missing one or both of those things]. Also I'm kinda fat so that never helps with shopping, especially since skinny pants are super in forever. I'm probably being more pedantic than I need to about it, but these are people who included 'no french cuffs' and 'pleats are ok for pants but we'd rather not' in their powerpoint and there's a lineup for uniform inspection at the beginning of the shift so I can't predict how anal they'll actually be in practice. I should really get on watching Eyes Wide Shut though; I really like Kubrick.
