I don't comment much anymore, but when I do, I try to be on point. That said, while my most upvoted comment ever was a gif, I understand the need for bringing the hammer down on it.
And yeah, videogum is totally party, like DS3000 said, I come for the lulz but stay for the rad dudes here in the comments. You guys just keep on keepin on, let's all paint, exercise and squash this beef
All you need to know is that the juggalo murderer used a hatchet as his weapon of choice. Looks like their decision to bring on Professor ICP paid off well
this reminds me of a game that I have been playing the SHIT out of recently: Toribash: Violence Perfected. It's a fighting game. That is turn-based. And is controlled by manipulating the joints of your fighter. In other words: unintelligible.

I had never seen this show until last night.
I found the no catharsis thing pretty weird, usually there's some kind of light at the end of the garbage tunnel. Still, makes that pile of clothes in my bathroom look normal.
ok, here's the deal: antichrist superstar was a rad video, and back then, Mr. Warner had things to say.
But that was the 90's! It was a more tubular time then. And the world has moved on. And he is still saying the same things. Which is to say that maybe he is an Alzheimer's sufferer. Which is the saddest of all.
I have not seen the original, and from the looks of it, it seems that it is the more interesting version when you look at the surrounding factors. 1997 - USA culture was hella spreading, the idea that America was the future of the world was being force fed to everyone who had a TV worldwide, and then some. An idea that a film would satirize it so much to the point of using NASCAR as a backdrop for a horrific murder sounds pretty genius.
The problem is, when you move a satirical thing back into the thing that it is satirizing, but not all the way (moving from Germany to America but not from 1997 into 2007 completely), you lose that edge. And not knowing this, I was forced to watch the movie while judging it on the merits of similar films. And what I got was that the movie is made by a man who clearly hates both movies and his audience. Knowing about the remake is further example of this, even!
Comparing it so something like, say, Devil's Rejects was my first thought. Both are movies about dudes killing dudes for no reason. Both movies make you feel icky. Both movies, the bad guys win. Thing is, I didn't feel like Rob Zombie hated me after the credits started rolling.
I think the reason is the last 15 minutes - the rewind sequence. That was the biggest fuck you in cinema I have seen in a long time. Bad, stilted acting, I can take. Smug actors who act smugly all the time, bring it on. But throwing middle fingers up at your audience? I understand where he's coming from, doing that, but to do it in such an unnatural way? I guess, like Gabe says, the film is trying to say something, but doing it in such a goddamn batshit insane way that makes no sense given the reality the film establishes is pretty anger-inducing.
this dude needs to slow his roll for sure - he should get into a band like Khanate or some slow stuff like it, bro doesn't need to yell all fast all the time
OH GOD I SAW THIS IN THE THEATER
but the bit about squeeze flan at the end was kinda funny. The rest of the movie was goddamn painful. I was most concerned about their shitty (POW) poop exsplosion effects. Surely Ben Stiller could afford better dooky explosions!
OK, I'm gonna level with you. I came to the page, saw it was Gone in 60 Seconds, and got immediately confused. Surely this movie has been done before? Or am I living a year in the past? I actually had to check my damn calendar on my computer to make sure today was today.
I guess the point is that the Hunt is my constant?
