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?

And ya know, I spent most of the movie really annoyed at Joe, but by the end I kinda felt for him. And then he had to go and give me a nightmare. Another reason I probably won't watch it again. :|
But a good meta can always change my mind. *hint hint*

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.

And oh, Hugh. So achingly perfect as Joe. I mean, everyone in the film was beyond brilliant but Hugh was something else.

And it is a movie that deserves more than a single watching.
Ah, so, so wonderful!

Yep, I think you should rewatch it. :)

It was a very depressing story, but the complexity of it was fascinating to me.
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!!

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!!

Hee, yep, I've started making some HCL icons! I couldn't resist!

I don't think I've ever had so much love for a movie that's so dark and depressing. I definitely have to watch it again.

OF COURSE we know the words. We listen to the songs and watch the movie on repeat more times than we can count ;)

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...

I haven't read any fic yet, but I've seen links to some. If you're interested, this post (http://community.livejournal.com/the_ckr_files/16010.html#cutid9) has quite a few links to fic. :)
