@glennDIRECTOR Aussie Bogans...oh no, god no please anything but that..Aussies are 100x more bogan or redneck than anything the north american continent has produced the last 50 yrs..NA lowlife scum are at least funny..
I'm so glad AVGN turned me on to this movie. the quotes are so fuckin awesome "fuckin around with scarecrows on the roof of your car... somehow its got to make sense ultimately"
"Oh man, it's unbelievable! 29 years old - people have established families, they're homeowners, and I'm fucking around in the drive through at McDonald's trying to find a 2-for-2 deal with some goddamn scarecrows on top of the roof of my car."
@knightgame1979 I love this gritty lovely film.So full of determination,pathos,sadness and hope.I've found it ain't for everyone,this is a story about a dream and the guts to chase it
@jameschairmanwong631 "gritty".... Holy shit that is the most over used, pretentious word used in describing either movies or tv shows..... No offense
@cawthy07that one would lump me as a pseudo-film-magazine-onlinemovie buzz-poser on the basis of a word indicates that you read too many reviews..and that you probably have not seen the whole film.Offended?..Yes I am...My post stand as written...this is a great sensitive,and unaffected documentary..perhaps you would like it,if you ever see it
@jameschairmanwong631 Did i say you were a "pseudo-film-magazine-onlinemovie buzz-poser "? No, I just fucking hate that word because its so over used and reviewers just use it as lazy reviewing. And yes i have seen the film by the way, all the way through and i didnt think it was even the slightest bit "gritty"
@cawthy07 This is one of my favorite documentaries,all heart.Drunkeness,unfulfilled hope.Delusional hubris.Childlike optimism.Glaring obstacles against sheer obstinate will to succeed.What defines grit and determination to the cinema community?Film afficianados evidently are a seperate breed than I.Reviews confuse me.Critics bore me.Incidentally,a movie I really thought was "Gritty" was the Coen brothers' wonderful "TRUE GRIT"...just sayin'
"Last night I was so drunk I was calling Morocco, man. Like, trying to get to hotel tangeers. That's pathetic, man. Is that what you want to do with your life? That's senseless but that's what happens" The same thing can be said for many other things and it might be one of the best quotes, its so true.
@101Volts And if I ever have kids (And I hope I get the opportunity) I'm going to say that same quote to them... A bit revised depending on the situation they're in like staying up too late.
i consider myself to have a mature perspective of aesthetics in art.. but the 'genius' some of you are speaking of seems to be flying over my head.. I do see a certain novel value, but nothing in the title of genius. i don't mean to be ignorant, but, for my own knowledge, could one of you perhaps put into form what makes this film so striking to you?
@Composeyourself618 to me its something like little points they just go by, its a deep inner heaviness that resonates with my buddies and my life that they express. not even just as bullshit, but i really feel it, i really find it hilarious

no dude... if you like this movie that's messed up. its just guys talking.. its the most drawn out shit ever.. i could make a video of me riding my bike down the street and it would be more entertaining than this.
I'll set aside your ingenious handle "pyrodog783" for now, but seriously...
You're probably young, inexperienced, ignorant, and, well, straight-up dumb. In fact, if you are somehow over the age of 18, just give up, my friend. You have failed as a productive, worthwhile human being. Do you really think that a movie about "just guys talking" would win the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. It sounds as though you haven't even seen it, so, perhaps you're a bit out of your element here.

look, its all good these guys made a movie about their lives but for real, the only action in this movie is that guy drinking his soda, and no i haven't seen this movie. All i said is that this movie looks really fuckin' gay. so you sir, can chill the fuck out, and go watch some American movie.
This is a work of genius, i hope you do make a video of you riding a bike, afterwards you might even come to terms with how lonely, bored and stupid you are...
hey DATA, no one gives a shit, this movies great, why are you trying to put it down? this movie was the BEST! WAAAAAY better than anything you have ever seen.
Coven is a 35 minute direct market thriller film shot on 16mm black and white reversal. It's an alcoholic man compelled to go to this group meeting by his one and only friend left.
Marks one of the coolest guys in his way. He doesn't have the critical side of his brain that most of us do. I laughed at him when I first saw this, but the guys got gumpsion!
"29 years old, people have established families, their home owners, and im fucking around in the drive thru of a Mcdonald's looking for a 2 for 2 deal with goddamn scar crows on the top of my car." I was crying I was laughing so hard at this.
In Mike Shanks previous life time, townspeople called him the flying yogi because of his levitation abilities. He could float up off the floor and astral travel into higher dimensions.
