Seriously this sucks, man

Not the movie of course, just CC's hopper spamming

Is it spamming when it's good and needs to be here?


cognitivedissonance - 2019-08-02

It’s the assumption that we’re culturally illiterate.

Spike, it's spamming when it's one person dumping a bunch of popular shit into the hopper to see what comes through, without any real attempt at curation.

At that point, whether any one video is of interest is kinda irrelevant.

Popular shit, yeah right, quit talking out your ass that guy..

Well, I'm going to give up the stars, partly because CC has been kind to me lately, and also because being hard to watch is the point.

And because it's a chance to discuss Chinatown. I recently saw Chinatown for the first time in several years, and it's fucking amazing, and incredibly challenging. It's a masterpiece directed by a rapist. Now that I think of it, "Rosemary's Baby" is all about rape. And in Chinatown, you can feel that energy. In one of the most disturbing, iconic scenes, Roman Polanski himself appears, and rapes Jack Nicholson's face with a knife.

It's also very much about its time. When I was a 16, I hitchhiked all day and all night to see this movie, and it was somewhere between 90 and 30 days before Nixon's fall. There's a scene where Gittes gives an address to someone over the phone, and the street number is 1972, the year of the Watergate break in, and the whole plot is literally about a conspiracy involving reservoirs, damns, and aquaducts-- literal "water gates".

I don't recall going out of my way to be nice to you, so that was just me being me I guess, glad I made a good impression!


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2019-08-02

I don't remember the details, but anyway, fuck these guys. You put up ANYTHING from Chinatown, I'm giving it five stars.

Jack Nicoholson's ass while he's putting on his pants... FIVE STARS!
