Imagine being in the pub with Pondwater crapping on about LA Confidential, a boring man droning on about a boring film based on a boring book that absolute spengs salivate over. Then, like all daft Seppos, probably droning on about the Chauvin case, making some spectacularly pointless grandstanding liberal point about I don’t know what.

I would fucking chuck half my beer away and get out of there pronto.

In his bar. Him serving you some innovative crappy cocktail that’s completely wrong, like it has a block of square ice in a martini glass or some other daft shit. With him playing Futureshock - Sparc on repeat. Droning on about the low vaccine take-up amongst ‘BAME’ people and the structural racism that’s preventing them getting vaccinated.

Fucking cocktail in the plant pot. Plant pot over his head.

jonattonyeah The dialogue is pretentious (actually pretentious, not how many just throw the word around lackadaisically). The characters are not characters, but rather caricatures. Nobody is remotely likeable, nor relatable, because the dialogue is pretentious and they are all caricatures. People might have liked the “message” back then, the banality and frustration of a seemingly perfect suburban life, but its message is actually trite and stupid and tone deaf. It’s a terrible movie with terrible themes with an actor who turned out to be a terrible person. The End.

It’s a melodrama, what else would you expect?

A lol for Dave!

That properly made me laugh!

Don’t make excuses now.

But I appreciate the fan fiction, Dave! Light-years better than American Beauty.

zackster Boomers thought it had this mind blowing insight into American life when really it was just a vapid piece of crap.

Fair point, especially in the UK

bosstrabs Listening to anyone bore on about the ‘proper way’ to do cocktail of any description:

Fucking awful subject that brings out over opinionated cunts.

Amps I don’t have opinions on cocktails.

I was once in a bar in Beijing owned by two Seppo sisters who insisted on inventing their own cocktails, and they were offering me and my mate their concoctions.

One actually did have a big square block of ice in a martini glass. You figure out the logistics of trying to drink that. Seems like the kind of thing Pondwater would do.

zackster It didn’t?

American Beauty also ‘inspired’ this, lest we forget -

Thanks Eddie.

You inspire us all

MC is finally coming round, good man!

I already mentioned that, Ed. Get with the program. One of Joey Negro’s worst moments and he has plenty. Including his stupid name.

You mention it, I post it.

We could be the new OLB and BF Jonatton!

When you grew up hanging out with Oakey and Tongy it’s hard to pinpoint what the exact track was.

Tongy will always be in my good books, him putting me on the guest list to see Carl Cox on Bondi Beach bring the Millennium in lives long in the memory!

What a night that was!

Can someone put Smallman to sleep?

I watched Seven after the Spacey-revelations came. It added nicely to the movie.

All the films mentioned are great in my book. Except Crash. That was proper shit.

Homegrove why did you wait so long? I saw that at the cinema - blew me away.

Along_the_Wire Same here, the scene with the guy strapped to the bed, you could hear a pin drop, pure shock in the audience. Come to think of it, I’ve never seen a movie that had an effect like that on people the first time seeing it. I assume its the same reaction audiences had when seeing Jaws or Alien for the 1st time. Thats whats missing nowadays. And its all Wally’s fault.

LT42 Thats whats missing nowadays. And its all Wally’s fault.

So true. When was the last time a film was as good as that?

Oh, I’d seen it many times before. Not sure if I saw it in the theatre though. This was after I upgraded to a Blu Ray copy last year.

Homegrove He basically played himself.

Echo Can someone put Smallman to sleep?

I think most people look at my life and think ‘Christ he really has ledged it.’

Guilty!

LT42 And its all Wally’s fault.

Lol!

Homegrove This was after I upgraded to a Blu Ray copy last year.

Good to see Finland’s still stuck in the 90s.

The prog must be absolutely rocking.

I won’t buy as many physical copies as I used to, but plenty still. Blu rays of old movies usually cost about 5 €.

Thought this was a pisstake at first - then I remembered shit TV like this was endemic in the early 2000s. Regardless, it certainly hasn’t aged well…

The people of Liverpool are aligned to your cause @zackster ️
