Movie: elephant[views:2587][posts:20]___________________________________ [Mar 12,2006 11:14pm - succubus ""] i had been wanting to see it for a while.. The movie Gus Van Sant made before Last Days... well it's based on a short story written by harmony korine (also wrote kids, gummo, julien dockey boy...)and a friend..anyhow...a lot of the acting was improvised and it didn't have a long script. it's a story similar to columbine moral of the story: gay boys kill people i lost scene points according to aaron because he had to sit through it |

I haven't nodded off during a movie that much since I saw a preview of nightmare before xmas after pulling an all nighter. I spent more time trying not to sleep that watching. the movie was so fucking long... and carina lost her abilities to pick a movie for atleast a month. I pick hills have eyes and she picks this?!? wtf. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 12,2006 11:19pm - succubus ""] ummm I picked hills have eyes and have been talking about the preview for weeks so pfft |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 12,2006 11:20pm - brian_dc ""] that's a pretty ass backward moral of the story. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 12:43am - davefromthegrave ""] Based on review, I'm guessing the movie was actually a parody. it was meant to be a comedy that poked fun at the columbine boys by implying that they were homosexual. or not. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 7:53am - succubus ""] no that was me being a smartass |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 8:04am - the_reverend ""] they were so gay. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 8:16am - litacore ""] there was a gay scene is last days too! gus van sant is gay j.t. leroy (screenwriter of elephant) is not a real person. It's a genetic woman masquerading as a transgendered boy. ask a librarian I didn't like elephant. I wanted to, because I was interested in seeing a perspective on Columbine other than Michael Moore. But I didn't much like it. I feel bad for the geeky girl though when she got shot in the library. She was the first kill. Gus Van Sant go back to high school. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 8:33am - succubus ""] YES..i felt bad for her too..I didn't want her to die I have Last Days too and watched it..doubt aaron would want to see it |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 9:29am - the_reverend ""] I don't know if cus van sant is gay or not, but after watching that movie, I know he's a total fag. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 9:32am - RichHorror ""] Aaron, the politically correct terminology is "queermo". Tsk. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 10:09am - succubus ""] My Own Private Idaho is one of my favorite films.. Gus also likes troubled pretty boys (can't say I blame him).. River Phoenix, old school Keanu, Michael Pitt (not to be confused with Brad~no relation at all) |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 10:11am - RichHorror ""] Is My Own private Idaho the one where Flea plays a retard? |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 10:15am - succubus ""] yeah flea's in it too. i think his name was bud in the movie |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 10:19am - RichHorror ""] YES. That's a decent flick. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 13,2006 11:32am - craz ""] I'm sorry but I saw gummo and that movie and I thought it was terrible. Too college artsy for my taste especially all the awkard silences in the movie. That was the same guy who I believe made the movie KIDS. Possibly one of the most fucked up movies I've ever seen. Kindof hits too close to home like Thirteen. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 11:43am - the_reverend ""] flea a retard? how's that different from him normally? he must be a method actor |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 11:47am - RichHorror ""] GET OUT OF MY MIND. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 11:47am - the_reverend ""] the best part of this movie is that I slept most times when the kids would be walking around and I missed nothing. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 13,2006 1:27pm - infoterror ""] I love this movie, mainly for the way it's filmed. The brokeback aspects did not figure much into my assessment. |
