Blood, Guts, Bullets, Octane

[Perknose]

Low budget indie film I'm watching right now on IFC. News of this particular cinematic project never made it to the monastery on a mountain in which I reside, but . . .

IT FREAKIN' RAWKS! :laugh::thumbsup:

It appears you have decided, while having full knowledge that you live in a world where Brittney Spears is a superstar and George W. Bush is our duly elected maximum leader, not to think for yourself.

Good luck with that.

Feel free to ignore me, but the fact remains that you are abnormal in your opinion.

I thought consensus mattered to liberals...

You are continuing to echo an opinion you just looked up on an internet site.

You couldn't possibly be more useless or lame. Fortunately for you, you are probably not bright enough to fully realize this.

An opinion? I believe that I am basing my argument on the average of 377 opinions. You expect me to put more weight upon your judgment?

I had no intention for my first reply to be construed in the way you did, so unless you are in some way affiliated with the film, I can't help but think you are a bitter and hotheaded person.

And you're a poster boy for mediocrity and herd mentality.

Despite your self-deluded pretensions, what you think and what sites your rely on to do your thinking matter not.

Bitter and hotheaded? You're simply annoying, like a chigger, a small rash, or a dingleberry hanging on a short hair.

If they made a movie about this thread, it would probably rate pretty high on imdb.com

LOL!

Well, here are some excerpts from a review that might help underscore my particular appreciation of the film:

A fresh, sharply-written slice of no-budget sleaze that deserves not to get lost in the throng of Quentin Tarantino knock-offs.

[...]

Say it and get over it: RESERVOIR DOGS for the motor-mouths and pop-culture heavy dialogue; EL MARIACHI and CLERKS for the preposterously low budget; THE USUAL SUSPECTS for the big old twist at the end. But this brash, funny little crime picture has a smart-alecky personality all its own. The $7,300 shooting budget shows (though some images are handsomely composed), but the writing is edgy and genuinely clever, and -- surprise, surprise -- the acting is way above low-budget average.

Try reading my palm and tell me more of what you really think; you seem as though you could be my profiler. Herd mentality may be undesirable when in a debate about an intellectual matter, but this is about judging a C-grade action/comedy.

You, like the movie, are like a stuck pixel: trying to be different and vibrant, but no one wants you.

Even the one review from the page yankesfan linked to gives you a good idea of the film:

Quick-moving Dark Comedy, 15 August 2001

Author: James from CT, USA


If you begin to watch this movie knowing that it's a extremely low-budget independent with non-actors, you'll be quite surprised. It has a better story-line, acting and editing than many of the multi-million dollar Hollywood productions that are foisted on us.

BGBO is definitely an edgy, sarcastic, dark comedy. It isn't meant to be true-to-life or a Hitchcock thriller with every loose end tied up and fraught with subtleties and nuances.

Accept it for what it is -- I loved it and never saw the plot twist towards the end coming (the reason for the GTO). Gave it a 9 out of 10.

If only the networks could come up with movies-of-the-week as original as this instead of the endless retreads with former models and sitcom stars.

But then, yankesfan has his own dissenting opinion . . . no, wait, HE DOESN'T! He doesn't have his own opinion at all! :laugh:

Face it, you suck at trying to be witty.

Indeed, I could really learn from the master of wit, Perknose. Comparing me to hanging excrements was beautiful.

I think it may be better if I just called you a "steaming pile of crap" because that is what I think you are, and I carried on your precedent of comparing to dung.

Have I learned well?

Not yet, no.

You still suck at trying to be witty.

Alas, I will never be able to replicate your kind of humor.

Therefore, I can conclude that a movie that you think "rocks", but has an average rating of 5.4 with 377 votes, will likely be wasted upon me, because I find the humor unwitty.

Goodnight to you.

Many fine and wonderous offbeat but brilliant things, not necessarily for the generally moronic or dull of spirit, would likely be wasted upon you, yanky boy.
