Pick posted:Friendship inertia. They remember the man he used to be before he was the man he was before he was a walrus. I think they just felt guilty that they were banging behind his back even though he was a selfish douche to his girlfriend and his best friend. Even though it's like this cheap B-movie level revenge on this egotistical

He's just sort of a jerk but he's not a horrible guy, he thinks of himself as pretty normal (and is playing to an audience that thinks so). He's unaware that even at his level, he's damaging people around him. He learns his lesson, he learns it too late.

I couldn't finish the movie sorry Pick. Seeing him struggling while turned into a walrus made me very uncomfortable.

Also the main character never does anything particularly stupid, in fact he conducts himself as intelligently as he can. But from the time he faces the villain, there is no reasonable way to escape. He can't escape, and he doesn't.

Even if he got rescued he would still be incredibly mutilated and who knows if they could reverse anything done to him so it was just very depressing and unsettling.

They were not able to reverse anything and the film shows his life is destroyed. That's also why the villain is discussing being a Duplessis orphan, there's a parallel between the kind of trauma that they have experienced and its lasting damage. The villain was also never able to escape the abuse that he had suffered. Pick fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Apr 19, 2017 |

Kevin Smith is my most hated director. He's smug with a huge ego and refuses to dress like an adult. They told me Mallrats was a good movie. It wasn't. They told me Dogma was a good movie. It wasn't. So forgive me for not trusting Tusk to be great.

Pick posted:Spoiler alert, it's about a guy who thinks laying weak edgelord burns on other people through the vehicle of the internet makes him a hotshot. He's lost his empathy for other people and insists that he's really doing everyone a favor acting the way he is. He learns differently. This is neat. I forgot there was a point to the movie, because my roommates got me high before watching it. It's a pretty funny experience when high, I recommend it.

Like don't get me wrong, the film isn't perfect and has a lot of areas it could be cleaned up, but it's got a rock-solid theme, surprisingly good acting, and it's gripping. It makes you sad, it makes you thoughtful... and it scares you. I think, again, the scariest bit is that the lead guy doesn't make any particular mistakes. He is a reasonable person cast into a horror premise and he suffers.

It's a great movie, and the way it switches around from being a dumb comedy into horrific body horror about halfway through is fantastic. You're expecting some fluffy comedy walrus thing, it's totally not at all. Friend bought me a stuffie walrus after watching this which lives in my car. #walrusyes

the only body horror I can stomach is ones where they are like...physically changed almost magically? like I can watch the fly and not be super disturbed but stuff where people are cut up and tortured by other people get to me way too much. I guess because it's plausible that it could happen. even reading the plot of the movie makes me really disturbed. I really wish I wouldn't have watched it agggh I thought it was a comedddyt

Some dude in my hometown of Brighton (England) wrote a funny fake gumtree ad (craigslist equivalent) for a housemate, who would have to dress as a walrus two hours a day to live there. I saw it because I was looking for a place at the time, and read it as a satire on how difficult it was to find a place in Brighton and sort of smirked maybe. This was literally the inspiration for Kevin Smith's Tusk.

As i've said in this thread i love "tusk" in general but smith made one big error, he lit up that rubber walrus suit with powerful lights from every direction. Go on, pull it up on netflix and and skip to the big reveal of the full walrus (i'll wait), its bathed in light like a stage play and they keep one still shot on it for way too long. Rubber suits like that work better in dim lighting (which makes sense in an underground dungeon) and when shot to sort of hide that they are rubber suits. I think smith was so proud of spending all that money on a practical effect he said "show it off! Bright, lingering shots!" Closeups done with dark lighting except for moving blue reflections from the water would have made that scene, Maybe Michael Parks could pace around the room so we got a moving, rotating camera (to not linger too long on a still shot of a rubber suit) would have helped the scene as well. Why i, a computer janitor know more about cinematography than a 20-years experienced filmmaker i have no idea. The part where Long goes underwater and sees another walrus suit with human bones in it genuinely gave me chills in a way no movie has since i was little. In a B-Movie made by kevin smith no less. My skin crawled and i remember thinking "Oh god, he wasnt the first". Sebastien Lenorman fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Apr 20, 2017 |
