Last movie you watched......

Another question I was left with: When he throws out all his magazines and sex toys, is it because he simply is embarrassed that Cissy saw it and is onto him? Or is it because he truly has some interest in changing his ways? Both?

 

Hard to to tell, and it has been some time since I watched the movie.
He definitely has conflicting motivations. Maybe not conflictibng as much as mixed. He is embarassed about his compulsion.
But he's not just embarassed. At a deeper level, he really loathes himself. Note he doesn't brag about having sex with the woman from the bar, despite the fact that his work cronies would certainly have given him a lot of approval for it.
It's tied to the trauma that causes his compulsion. If you allow for a subtext of sexual trauma, he is constantly engaging in activities that not only provide release from the pain of that trauma but are also a constant reminder of that trauma. Sex is both a source of pain and a balm.

 

Dick for the LAST TIME No one ripped him. I thought he read too much into a freaking movie. Your anti-intellectualism post went into a different arena. Get over it.

 

It's silly to call it a "freaking movie," as if they are all created equally. I'd understand your anguish if he devoted that much time to a critique of "Jack and Jill" or "That's My Boy." This was a Quentin Tarantino movie about slavery. Seems like it might lend itself to analysis. Entire books have been written about "Citizen Kane."

 

Dick, I'm done. When you start comparing Django: Unchained to Citizen Kane, I draw the line.

 

As a side note, when I read the Tarantino comments about the inclusion of the 'the D is silent' recurring line,' I was pretty skeptical.
However, went to a late movie Saturday night, and there was a youg person in line in front of me. He asked for 'One for Dajango.'

I thought: 'How about that.'

 

This thread is four years and 387 pages long. Will Dick and Drip's mutual trolling finally be its undoing?

 

I dispute the assertion that Drip is trolling.

 

That post is dripping with the type message-board over-analysis that is the scourge of the country.

 

You're reading too much into a movie-thread post.

 

John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness
Do you read Sutter Cane? Damn, this is a weird movie.

 

Gangster Squad. Meh.
