I love this man. Even if he would never love me. (what with his being gay and all).

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000777/

any of you ever seen these movies?

um, yeah.....that's an old name i aint' heard anyone talk about in years

he's the reason Rose McGowan sorta got her claim to fame, as well as James Duval and Jonathan Schaech......and of those three, James Duvalis most bad-ass.....a true independent cult film legend, even if he was in Independence Day

anywho....

Totally Fucked Up
The Doom Generation
Nowhere

of that trilogy, Doom Generation is by far the most popular, though a lot of people are aware of Nowhere but not Doom Generation, not too many people have seen Totally Fucked Up (myself included)

when i was like 16, Doom Generation was my favorite movie.....not so much these days, in fact, i never watch it anymore (mainly because my VHS copy is fuckered-up....maybe some day i'll buy it on DVD)........but, i dunno, it was an interesting flick, really fuckered-up, but since then, i've seen more interesting/fuckered-up flicks, but hey, Doom Generation is what started it all for me.......

p.s. get a copy of the "unrated" version of Doom Generation which is far better, and longer, nearly 80 minutes (or some shit) than the "rated" version which you can find at like blockbuster..........

but um, my favorite Gragg Arakki movie is Splendor.....which has Jonathan Schaech, Matt Keeslar (the only other movie i've seen him in was Waiting For Guffman [the first "mocumentary" film by Christopher Guest...good man!]) and it also has Kathleen Robertson (i never saw her in anything else, but she's uber-fuckin' hot, and i hate blondes!).........

the movie seems like an attempt by Araki to reach a bigger, more acceptable audience....the movie isn't fuckered-up, has no nudity, and is actually kinda cute, even if the plot is Girl falls in love with Guy 1, and Guy 2, and then they all move in together........sort of like Doom Generation without the hardcore sex, murder, mayhem, whatever, and of course no Bobby Brady.......

anywho, Splendor was cute, funny, but didn't really have that fuckered-up Araki feel to it.........

but all in all, Araki is alright, he had his voice/style in the 90's for us angsty fucks, but other than that, i don't think he's really all that great.....but why do mention, does he have a new movie out?

I fucking loved splendor. That movie made me happy. I wanna find myself a second man and live like that damnit.

I've seen both doom generation and nowhere. haven't been able to find totally fucked up.

and every time i see james duval in a movie now i'm always like "That's the dude that got his *spoiler deleted* at the end of doom generation!" For some reason i can't ever recall his name.

and he's such a busy actor, he does atleast 2 or 3 movies a year
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001166/

hahahahahahahaha....right right......

"two little faggots
sittin' in a bed,
one eatin' ass
and the other givin' head,

dirty, perverted scum,
make me see red,
the world will be a purer place
when they're both dead..."

yeah, good ole' James Duval.....he's always got like minor roles in flicks, but he's so damn good at it......he's an interesting dude.....

that he is. and he's freakin hot too. seriously, i think he's prettier than most of the men in hollywood.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454932/

oh look, he's playing "goth dude." how predictable.

right-right...

hmmm...could be interesting, ooooh, it's got Lucky McKee in it! and it's written by Lucky McKee! OH! AND DIRECTED BY ANGELA BETTIS! SAH-WEET!

i was just thinkin', the last flick i saw James Duval in was May which is by Lucky McKee, and stars Angela Bettis.....

oooh, i'm excited!

y'know, i ain't really seen anything else with Angela Bettis in it....she's bad ass in May........i accidently bought Carrie which i thought was the original, but was a made-for-tv remake with Angela Bettis as Carrie....i didn't watch but 2 minutes of it (really horrible) and i returned it....but she's in the Toolbox Murders by Tobe Hopper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), but i've yet to see it..........

but anywho, oooh, Roman....sounds promising!

wow, we just totally played the six-degrees of Gregg Araki here.......

haha this is totally fun. yeah roman does look promising. The plot summary for this one sounds interesting http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469151/ but that could be deceiving...

Angela Bettis had a small part in Girl interrupted too *shrug*

really? i was unaware of that.....but i didn't really like that flick anyway.....

the book was much better, a lot less of a stupid girl story and more clinical explanation about her disorder. Not to mention the liberties they took with the movie fucking sucked.

yeah, i knew a bunch of people that read the book.....i thought i might someday, but i was always busy readin' other things.....but ho-hum

holy christ, can i ever stay on toppic? ADD much? christ...

we're still on topic, sort of...

all this has to do with Araki! sort of...

within 6 degrees i guess.

that's right!

now you just gotta tie in Kevin Bacon in there somewhere.....like, Kevin Bacon to Gregg Araki

shit. i'm bad with actors...you try

i figured out several possibilities:

Kevin Bacon & Jennifer Aniston (Picutre Perfect....or whatever the fuck it's called)

Jennifer Aniston & Brad Pitt (and episode of "Friends")

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie (Mr. and Mrs. Smith)

Angelina Jolie & James Duval (Gone In Sixty Seconds)

James Duval to Gragg Araki

OR: Angelina Jolie & Angela Bettis (Girl Interupted)

Angela Bettis & James Duval (May)



you could also link Kevin Bacon & Brad Pitt together from the movie Sleepers, following the same route stemmed from Brad Pitt


OR:

Kevin Bacon & Tim Robbins (Mystic River)

Tim Robbins & Amanda Bearse (Amanda Bearse, as you know, played Marcy on the show "Married With Children) in the movie Fraternity Vacation (old cheesy 80's movie)

and Amanda Bearse had a cameo in Doom Generation

***also, interesting to note, you have Stephen Geoffery's (who was a crappy actor in the 80's, who later became a gay porn star, from my home-city of Cincinnati, Ohio...w00t! w00t!) who was in Fraternity Vacation as well as the movie Fright Night (also with Amanda Bearse), but the real key actor here is Chris Sarandon (who was the voice of Jack Skeleton in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas) but he was also in the movie The Princess Bride (playing Prince Humperdinck) which had Robin Wright-Penn (Sean Penn's wife, Sean Peen having been in Mystic River), but Christopher Guest is also in The Princess Bride (playing Count Tyrone Rugen) who is the director and star of Waiting For Guffman, Best In Show and A Mighty Wind all of which star Parker Posey, who also had a cameo in Doom Generation....also, Matt Keeslar (from Splendor) is in Waiting For Guffman


OR:

Kevin Bacon & Neve Campbell (Wild Things)

Neve Campbell & Rose McGowan (Sream)

Rose McGowan obviously in Doom Generation

OR:

Neve Campbell & Parker Posey (Scream 3)

Parker Posey's cameo in Doom Generation



so yeah, there's multiple ways....prolly a shit ton more......and i know, i'm a geek, but my friends and i used to play SIX DEGREES a lot, just not with Kevin Bacon either....

another good actor to use is Bill Paxton (Titanic, Aliens, Frailty)......i'll see if i can't find a way to throw him in the mix some way....

wow, I've honestly never been able to do that. I have to look at imdb to get any actor's name. But still, that's freakin awesome.

I saw Doom Generation with Mari and Gus a few years back. I had to turn away a couple times. It's awfully.. graphic.

But you get to see a gloriously nekkid Rose McGowan.
