It wasn't *me* that thought that. Just pointing out the direction that people who didn't notice everything can go down, and at least one did. Not everyone is expert in IV drug addiction or suicide attempts, as they pointed out.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I wasn't arguing with you! Just responding. note: I am not even close to being an expert in addiction or suicide attempts. I'm not sure I'm even reasonably informed. Just noting that even if you only noticed the bandages on the wrist (at that late stage in the movie), it is out of character for Gary to give a fuck if his friends know he has been using drugs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wouldn't he be likely to get more donations if he started a kickstarter promising NOT to make a movie if it reached his goal?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
My first reaction to the cutie in Kingdom of Badassness being Jason Stackhouse was correct! And Steven Zahn looks, like, 15 years younger with the flop hair. And Summer looks amazing with light brown hair. And I heart Peter Dinklage forever and ever. And while LARPing isn't my thing, it's in several of my fandoms, and I love the idea of it being foisted on the masses. And I've at least visited renfaires where it appears to be a paying job, if not a hobby for the [un]average bear.

Air: Following the links from Super Badasskingdom on youtube led me to bad places, like Super. A 2010 film with Ariadne and the director of Slither. A comment from the trailer had me searching out scenes, and based just on two, decided it was not the film for me, even if Nathan Fillion seems to have a cameo as well as most of the cast from Slither (which I love).
People can do whatever they want with their stories, but I, as a viewer, can't cope with stories that are 90% haha violence and mayhem, emphasis on the haha, and then whip out the 10% serious rape and ultra-violence. Those two things don't mesh as a wanted viewing experience. Let alone an enjoyable one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have seen World's End. My god that movie has a very fine structure! I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats.
I don't know how anyone could miss the hospital ID band, it's right there in the middle of the screen, up close and personal, long enough to read his birthdate. Not that that precludes "getting help" to mean rehab with medical intervention but the circle in the beginning did not feel 12-steppish to me. FWTW.
Simon Pegg really enjoys jumping over hedges, doesn't he?
