it's starts off in a thrift store with her trying on wigs. and you see at the start from the look on her face that something is wrong. then while waiting for her daughter after school here the stage is set and the pace of the film is established. The dialogue is very nice and it's realism with jokes of testicles and you see they are close even though dysfunctional. and I thought it was good and I liked looking at the girl in the mini skirt. but I was not totally impressed.
but the scene where the girl was brushing her hair in the mirror. here I saw it. there was chemistry.with the dirty cabinets and rabbit shit. this was selby quality realism. I knew these people. as well as I've ever known any of my neighbors. and I truly enjoyed the film from that moment on.
my favorite character was nanny. for nanny. I hate these people. the way we treat our elders is a disgrace. and the look in her eyes. innocent like a cat. was very moving. I worked in an old folks home for years. so I know something about old people.
the scenes with nanny also provide a great source of variety.
the scene at the bar with the antique salesman. "I could use a lamp" you can tell what he really wants. and them two could have had some fun that night had he not screwed it up by being a creep.
the seizure scene is very real and a pivotal scene in the film. it is filmed very respectfully. the acting is superb. no music. no shaking camera. and with the way it is shown you learn this is something they are used to. and this explains so much. why the older girl is rebellious and kind of tough is because she has seizures and that makes her different and her life difficult. and with the younger sisters reaction you understand why she's so quiet and sensitive and kind of weirded out because she has a sister who has seizures and a loud obnoxious mother. and you see how beatrice is trying so hard. and all she has to deal with. and you see that she's strong and that she feels as though she's the leader and that it's all up to her.
which is what makes the ending so tragic. because you see how hard she's trying. and she fails. and fails miserably. but then by the end of the night. you see that life will go on. it was a hell of a night. but it will pass and things will continue as they always were. and you leave the film feeling as though these people live down the street. you know these people exist and you could call them if you knew their number. very good film. a great example of realism with great acting and wonderful set designs. grade A american cinema.

I Called it! I told you guys. the only thing LEFT for them to FUCK with was the SUBSCRIBER policy.
Its done. its no longer "YOU tube"
it's "THEIR tube" you're just viewers now. like cable tv
unless you're a "partner" you're not gonna get views. I'm not goin down with the ship
ok so it looks like I'm only gonna be deleting like 50 or so videos at second glance.
and what I'll do is branch off and start posting my political type stuff on my old channel "voteonthis" . and the whole deleting things soon after posting. its risky and questionable and I'm questioning whether I should actually do that. cuz sometimes it takes over a month for a video to start picking up steam now that youtube has initiated this 300 views shit which prevents "viralism". so I dont know. maybe I'll just delete stuff tri-monthly. that way noobs and outsiders will get a chance to view the shit.
so http://youtube.com/oldhacks is gonna be just more for hanging out with old hack type stuff. and voteonthis will be for the serious stuff. Cuz I've noticed that I'll post a politically motivated video and some people will subscribe. but then I'll post something weird and off the wall and then they unsubscribe. when it's like "hey wait. I got plenty more politically minded stuff. wtf?" Or I'll post some music and some people subscribe to me for That and then I post a political video and THEY unsubscribe. so I think the best thing to do is to just diversify my postings. and I know it wont take off at first cuz people hate having to click a fucking button. its so insane how hard it is to get people to do ANYTHING on the net that they didn't think to do themselves. its quite frustrating at times. especially when you're doing all this shit to serve THEIR benefit. like teaching a dog not to eat his own puke.
so anyways. yea.
its all work in Progress. such is life.
fair warning to all my viewers on youtube. I'm gonna be deleting about a hundred or so videos at the end of the month so if anyone wishes to preserve them they should figure out which ones they want to keep and use a third party to rip them off of here.
and from here on out any new video I post will only have a one month shelf life. that way it everything stays fresh. nobodies making history. whatever history thats made will just be out there in the collective conscience. floating around in the cosmos of interconnected thought patterns. like little worker ants we are. working away. till we cant work no more. then we sit back and think about all the glorious work we did when we Could work. "Why I could lift TEN boulders when I was young!" "you kids today are just Lazy"
so yea anyways. once a month. things will be flushed

amazing atheist.
stop gloating about how many subscribers you have. the only reason why you get 60,000 views on your videos is because you're Featured. nothing more. I proved this fact when I in fact forced my video to the front page and within 24 hours got 57,000 views. Simply because I was on the front page. then the very next day they changed their front page and closed the up the hole that I exploited.
The reason why they feature you is because they feel safe with you as their guardian. because thats what you are. you're their pimp and we're all your whores. You get the cheese and we fiend and pile on top of each other trying to get just a taste of what has so carelessly been offered to you and you alone.
What I'm getting at is. you've been given keys to the city. and All I've seen you try to do with that gift is try to sell a book. A book which you use fake accounts to comment on your videos to pawn off on any sucker willing to buy it. How much different can your book be then you're ramblings.
I guess what I'm really getting at is that we shouldn't just be using youtube to capitalize on ideas and statements. we should be using it to actually cause some kind of real change in the way we communicate with one another.
I slowly see you going from a kid sitting at home making videos to becoming a commercial icon. Why would you want to be affiliated with sxephill for any reason? the whole reason why youtube got to the point where they were worth 1.7 Billion dollars to google is because it was freedom. We have freedom to venture about the world freely. and we all took to it like flies to shit. It was amazing. everything was possible.
but then google came. and took that all away. now its simply a tv station. anyone who makes videos thats not "partnered" shouldn't expect any of their videos to become viral.
Leo goes on to say he's a big fan of Monty Clift which is one of my favorite studio actors ever since I found out that off screen he was a real whack job. I like all them old studio fuckers. On Screen they all play these well off stable rounded individuals but off screen they were all misfits of the most sorted detail. burt lancaster, rock hudson, steve McQueen, Paul Newman. you know back when hollywood was worth paying attention to. now a days its all bells and whistles. its getting to the point where I can't watch hardly anything modern. the glossy lenses and the over punctuated coloring and the hurried acting etc etc. its all crap. the most modern I get is 80s which I think is where hollywood left it's nut sack. Eastwood, Tom Atkins, David Patrick Kelly. Eastwood's Gran Torino is by far the most relevant film of our time and yet it's not even being recognized in Any regard by the establishment. real shame. that box should be covered in ribbons.

great fucking movie. great photography, great script, great acting, great costumes, great twists and turns. an all around fully entertaining film.
its the story of troubled young woman who has a knack for always fucking things up. from the very beginning this is made clear. She runs to her friend for help and her friend turns out to be a dominatrix. Her friend takes her in with strict conditions and she finds work where most people who need a job right away do - Retail. but certain conditions arise due to her personal inefficiency and she needs money. So she steals her friends identity along with one of her friends clients and tries on the role of a dominatrix. And thus a problematic clusterfuck begins. I'll stop there cuz I really want people to watch and enjoy this film as much as I did.
I used to have a good friend back in KC that was a dominatrix which I couldn't help but feel nostalgic about especially in the scenes that involve dominatrix paraphernalia. I wonder how she's doing...
Walk All Over Me
in the hit piece film me and my girl saw at the roxy about Moore, the only real dirt the film maker could find on moore was Moore's manipulative ways in the editing room. So here's a little pay back. for leaving out the workers that did take the time to show up and STrike like good hard working americans should and how Mike left that of the film completely to make Flint seem Even MORE hopeless then it already is. Not to mention totally disrespecting the people that took the time to cause a scene and stand up for their rights as workers.
I think everyone knows how I feel about phonie pied piper snake oil salesman like michael moore. so I used his face to say what he should be saying had he been born with a pair.

(watch the movie before you read this)
great fucking movie about pyramid scam artists feeding off of people's dreams. The main character is a good man with a crafty girl friend who thinks that he's joining a small record company and is sent around the country auditioning singers and musicians with a small catch,.. The artists are asked to make a contribution to show good faith in their ability to make it as an artist with the help of their record company.
very few people they audition have much of any real talent but that's not the so called 'record companies' initiative. They just want to get people to hand over their money. It's a disgusting act that's happening all around the country. people scamming other people into scamming other people. this is just an example of capitalism at it's worst. feeding off of peoples ambitions and dreams. giving them hope while taking their money.
My favorite character in the film is "Clarence". He's very black and very cunning and has some of the funniest lines I've heard in a long time. I was laughing out loud till my stomach hurt at some of the pitches he was using to bate these suckers in.
All in all it's a really good film about people with heart being forced into positions that compromises their integrity. and about people out there just trying to make it. About the facts of life living in America. It makes some really good jabs at just how gullible and painfully naive most wannabe musicians are and how in many ways ambition can blind a person from reality and how easily people can be fooled into giving their money away. giving people hope and faith for just a few dollars extra.
great balls of sound
