Hard Core Logo

I watched Hard Core Logo last night, and I can't get it out of my head. I've been thinking over it constantly. It was depressing, but the characters and the unanswered questions are fascinating. Everyone's intentions are so ambiguous, and every question just brings up more questions rather than answers. They're all clearly dysfunctional, but I can't decide how much deception and manipulation was going on. I think I need to see it again before I can decide anything. I haven't watched a movie that made me think this much in ages.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Callum Keith Rennie, how are you so awesome?

But a good meta can always change my mind. *hint hint*

I was incredibly shocked by that ending --- I presume that's what gave you a nightmare?
I think I might try to write up a post with my thoughts --- at the moment they're completely scattered!!

Date: 2008-12-20 06:59 am (UTC)that movie killed me *dead* many moons ago. JOE DICK = MASSIVE WOOBIE! who knew? the whole thing really IS fascinating. and it holds up on re-watching. i've seen it quite a few times, actually, and there's always new stuff to discover. OHHHH HCL.
the epic hotness of callum cannot actually be textually rendered.
this comment is not much with the deep thoughts. sorry.

Date: 2008-12-21 03:50 am (UTC)Yeah, I think it's a movie that you need to watch more than once to get a full understanding. I'm still thinking over the completely dysfunctional relationship between Billy and Joe. Ohh, Billy. Ohh, Joe!.
And yes, Callum was beyond hot!!

Date: 2008-12-21 03:22 pm (UTC)that relationship is beyond dysfunctional and beyond fascinating - have you read any of the fic yet? there isn't that much (or there wasn't last time i checked which was years ago, there could be more now, dS is still a thriving fandom) but most of it was really good. i can probably dig up some links if you want...

Date: 2008-12-21 04:15 am (UTC)OF COURSE we know the words. We listen to the songs and watch the movie on repeat more times than we can count ;)

Ah, so, so wonderful!
