I think a lot of it is just the way the movie was presented. It had a cult-like feel to it. I think the reason the people who reco'd it to me were crossfit trainers and they're a bit crazy with that kind of shit.

reco'd?

Oh.

Crossfit is dumb. I have a buddy who is gung ho about it. Speaking of cult-like.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

yeah. my buddy is a trainer for them or something. he visited in LA last month and hit up like 5 different crossfit gyms just to work out and buy a t-shirt. it does get you in shape though, but they're generally pretty active people to begin with.

 

[MickZagger]

It gets you in shape. The same way lifting weights and having a good cardio regimine will. A lot of it is about a sense of belonging that makes the crossfit guys love that stuff. I went to a crossfit gym once and I was in just as good of shape as those guys and probably stronger, but they all thought their cawk was bigger because they did these kewl crossfit workouts.

I dunno. Kinda like workout 'elitists'.

Boy Interrupted is a film that raises questions. It asks how a young boy can end his life at the tender age of 15. It struggles to find answers about what kind of family he had and the life he led. By its very nature, it is a naked display of its filmmaker's personal life at its most revealing and perhaps disturbing. How can a mother, we may ask, make a film about the death of her son? What defines this film as a remarkably unique and truth-telling achievement is the way it explores how filmmaking can create closure for its creators as well as its audience. Dana Perry has gathered home movies, photographs, and a variety of different documents to tell the story of her son, Evan: his bipolar illness, his life, and his death, and their impact on those who loved him the most. She interviews his siblings and friends, his doctors and his teachers, and in the process, she chronicles a harrowing and difficult journey. The camera provides insight and revelation, and yet Boy Interrupted is a film that is also full of despair. The film's saving grace is that it functions, in the final analysis, as therapy for both its viewers and its subjects at a most fundamental level. It is an essentially human story, and a parent’s worst nightmare

One of the most disturbing documentary I've seen. The White family take 'redneck' stereotypes to a whole new level.

They all love their Xanax. The family drug of choice.

It's available on OnDemand [Showtime]

The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia is perhaps the best movie I've seen in the past two years. They put the fun in dysfunctional.
