Blue Valentine was brilliant. Such a powerful and sad film.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It uses a tight Hollywood script, fantastic camera work, and performances ranging from serveicable-to-great to tell a classic underdog story, only this time it's featuring beautiful women, some solid depictions of surf culture, and carries an understated feminism. It's so easily enjoyable, and it succeeds nearly perfectly at what it set out to do. I love it unabashedly.LoathedVermin72 wrote:If you're being serious, I hope you know that you just endeared the fuck out of yourself to me.tragabigzanda wrote:Fuckfuckfuck, I forgot Blue Crush.
