I did not even know that one! But yeah, THE PURGE guy actually got his first feature released in France. It was not good.

Proud of myself for recalling this particular Hawke film...

I don't see the problem. The kids just prefer Link Wray.

This is not against the original poster BTW. It is a well-meaning enough sentiment. But if everything is out in the open, there for the taking with no guiding force or resistance to overcome for access, and every opinion is valid, it just validates the status quo.

"Duurrr... you think you're better than me?"

Yes. Yes, I do.

We gave the people all the access. They can see everything they want, can listen to large swathes of the recorded music, knowledge at their fingertips. They don't want to discover. They want mommy to spit the same prechewed goo in their gullet. You get called a gatekeeper for pointing this out.

Listening to someone summarizing the new Michel Franco as if it's an incredibly raunchy joke.
