This movie is called Entertainment starring Gregg Turkington and he plays his alter ego Neil Hamburger.
Has anyone seen this? What did you think? Very slow and long drawn out scenes but I am hoping for a pay off. I would legit go to see Neil Hamburger perform and laugh.
This is brutal

Its amazing. One of the most realistic portrayals of chronic depression in film. For that reason its also insanely brutal and hard to sit through. The last twenty minutes or so make for a great pay off though.
The Comedy was better.

Fuck off
I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, byt it's probably one of the best movies from the last couple of years
Hey Guys!
horror is not running from a guy that will cut you in half with a rusty blade. this is horror.

best scene right ehre
>>80336798
Liked it a lot.
>>80336798
Love the way this movie is shot. It looks gorgeous.
It's a brutal movie to sit through, much like The Comedy with Tim Heidecker. That bathroom birth scene was so uncomfortable and yet they really didn't go that far with it
>>80336798
I thought it was pretty good.
>>80337723
The Comedy was such a powerfully dark movie that it caused me to experience ego death 20 minutes in
changed me forever, no lie
>>80339722
have you seen strokzyk by herzog? kinda similar themes
If there's a chance for, what you hope fooooor, and you dream foooor
>>80336798
It is great, but I admit I forgot it existed until this thread.

will do

This
I love The Comedy, Entertainment is much more weird and strange
>>80342647
The Comedy is to Entertainment as
Drive is to Only God Forgives
The first being more accessible and memorable, memable moments, but the second being the superior kinographïe.
my favorite scene is when he goes total ballistic on that one bitch in the bar
>>80342780
Lol she got so rekt
I love both Drive and Only God Forgives
I wouldn't say Entertainment is a bad movie, I just couldn't find a good perspective on what I was seeing
I actually thought The Comedy was funny at times, and found humanity and empathy on Swanson
Turkington's character is just straight up strange, just wondering from town to town without reason. The encounters he has are left without resolution. I'm not actually a fan of the Neil Hamburger character, maybe that's why
>>80342968
I thought his character made perfect sense and i could identify with his plight
>movie about a comedian
>call it Entertainment
>movie about a man who cannot be entertained
>call it The Comedy
Explain this.
>>80336798
Watched this a year ago. Still want my two hours back. If I wanted to watch aging hipsters jerk themselves off for two hours I'd hang out in a Starbucks bathroom.

He was touring. You got that right?
>>80343083

>>80344110

that's why
