I honestly don't know how I tolerated it. It was so bizarre and stupid...

Me too..it wasn't the entertaining mess I hoped for, it was just mess. I can't believe we sat through the whole thing.

-------------------------------

For anyone curious to see it, my advice would be not to waste time/money on it..

Yeah, I thought it would have at least been tolerable, but it was like pulling teeth.

It was all over the place and not in a good way. It was the most random things thrown in to try to make the film work, but it just didn't...

Was it ever made clear whether the films they were involved with were Hollywood films or Pornography?

Also, I'm struggling to understand why anybody would invite random men over to watch you have sex with your girlfriend...it's just so...no...

Gotta be honest, Scott: paragraph 2 perked my interest...ALOT!

I have no idea if that was made clear..

I'm struggling to understand why..just..why is this a thing. It's baffling that something so random can be so lacking in entertainment value, huh?

When I mean random, it was the most RANDOM and irrelevant things to the entire story.

It's like if I made a movie of myself cutting grass and I randomly add in a clip of me at a 3-year-old's birthday party. That's how random.

Yeah, there was honestly no substance or merit.

I'm not sure why they were allowed to make this haha.

Sounds fantastic--we need to make that

(Gotta cut the grass for the party)
I'm sure there must be some inferred meaning there. Example: the beginning of Walkabout. It kinda requires you to make sense of the juxtapositions.

I may have to see this sometime in the week. Full review possibly.

Me too.

If he hated Only God Forgives as much as he did, I can only imagine what he'd say about this one.

I was just thinking that---OGF was a thrill-ride in comparison

Yeah, I've been cranking em out. Wrote a 2 Guns review yesterday and an Only God Forgives one today.

Maybe Passion and Drinking buddies will be coming soon too. I'm tired of reviewing "big movies"

I didn't hate OGF, I just thought what Refn was trying to sell me was repulsive. I ended up giving it a middling 2/4.

How does this compare to Girlfriend Experience? I love that film and I'm getting a similar vibe here.

A lot better and more enjoyable to watch (and you know I hated both).

Hmm. Still sounds better than writing about Kick Ass 2 or We are the Millers. I'm in!

Scottie and Coops tongue-lashing's have me really excited to see this!

Perhaps I should say The Girlfriend Experience was the more enjoyable one. Sorry I was so vague.
