Warning: Will Disturb the Fuck Out of You
I just finished watching Requiem For a Dream. The absolute BEST movie I've seen in a very long time. It's all about addiction, whether to drugs, diet pills, television, or food. It is by far the most disturbing movie I've ever seen and it truly blew my mind more than Goodfellas or Fight Club ever had a chance of doing. The coolest, most disturbing fucking movie I've ever seen. Anyone who hasn't seen it (which I'm sure is all of you) needs to go rent it from your local Hollywood Video and watch it. And then when you're done, try to think of what the un-rated version is like...

I still dislike movies. They're too long. Give me a good song anyday. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin ... P>Actually, I went to see Shrek at the cinema with my friends recently. It was actually much better than I expected. But still not enough to convince me that movies are good.<P>------------------
