THE BEAVER by JODIE FOSTER

short term time machine november 2 2012

I like and respect Jodie Foster as a Director and actress and person; and I even more like and respect Mel Gibson as the same, and I am glad they are Franz. “Mad” Mel is a bright light of hope and integrity in Godless Hollywitz (tm Greg Johnson) Babylon. Average Entertainment Consumers prob don’t even really remember all the “shameful anti-semitic” details of his rants, just that he got drunk and did a few embarrassing rants and called the lady-cop “sugar titz” which is legit CLASSIC. But it doesn’t make me shake my head and think that Mel has somehow “fallen” from his “heyday” of “Braveheart” and “The Patriot” because of his own “character flaws”! I admire Mel’s willingness to Speak Out on the Zionist-Controlled Media! Even if he’s not fully aware and was just upset and drunk over his slimy Jewish Russian scammer x-gurlfran trying to scam him.

Add to this the story of an extremely depressed man trying to deal with his depression and I was sold from the very beginning. I am very interested in depression as I “suffer” many of the “symptoms” myself. (The little “Public Service Announcement” with the faggy song and the whales in the previews was HORRIBLE, btw). I like to semi-jokingly call it “Morally Lazy Loserness.” And while I don’t like the whole Marxist Corporate Psych and PharmPsych Industries, from Freudian M.D. Psychiatrists all the way on down to Feminist Antiwhite Self-Esteem Amoral Govt-Funded Social Workerz telling losers it’s not their fault; BUT, THAT BEING SAID, I don’t think the condition similar to what they describe doesn’t exist. We just need to find different ways to describe and “treat” it.

IMHO, I thought The Beaver was a brilliant method for this character to try to fix himself. I might have to try something similar myself. Initially The Beaver seems absurd, but it really makes a ton of sense. IMHO. So I was confused (SPOILER) when the Beaver seemed to turn against Mel near the end. I thought, well, (SPOIL) your youngest son isn’t as brainwashed as your wife and older son, the obvious solution is, you have your father and husband back, he’s productive and haaaaaappy and NOT HURTING ANYONE, who CARES if he has a BEAVER on his hand. You’re gonna say he’s crazy because he’s talking through a Beaver? There’s lots worse things he could do. Indeed, I saw The Beaver as the Voice of Reason. The Sane Person. When sleeping through a Blue Pill Life was the crazy part. It very well could take a straight-talking Beaver for you to deal with all that. So I ultimately did not understand the “twist” with the beaver, which IMHO takes points off of the movie. Started strong and kinda lost its way, but I think it picked up again near the ending. Which was pretty sentimental, but I’ll take Honest Sentimentality over Fake Feeeeeeelingz anyday, especially when it endorses the (SPOIL) Power Of Family Luv.

If More Depressed People used Beavers to Regain Control Of Their Lives (without hurting anyone), the world would be a much better place. Better than pumping him full of prozac and shrinks feeding him marxist blue pills! Well, prozac is controversial IMHO. My verdict is still out. OBVIOUSLY I have an Automatic Disdain for The Zog Industry which creates and sells prozac, but maybe it does truly help some people without having side effects and costs which negate that benefit.

I usually think Anton Yelchin is a huge jewish faggot, but even he was tolerable, even if the subplot with him and the girl was stupid. It helped a lot that the girl was the Exceedingly Lovely Jennifer Lawrence, who besides being young and beautiful, has this innocent, clean, low-number look about her, even though odds are she’s dirty and decadent and high-number; but you can easily mold that pure white fantasy onto her pure white face and body. Who knows, maybe she IS lower-number than the avg Hollywitz(tm GJ heh) starlet. She is quickly becoming my favourite young actress next to Emma Shvartzenstein. hehehe. Anyway if I were In The Bedroom Alone with Miz Lawlzrence, I would forget all about not being Decadent. I would do UNNATURAL things with her. Oh, My Lawd!

The detail about him Sleeping all the time was great, very accurate, and would have liked to seen that expanded even more than it was, to him having no energy at all times, etc. Very true. you just want to sleep all the time. no energy to do anything. Being asleep is better than being awake, being alive. If you don’t want to or can’t Escape With Drugs/Alcohol, Escaping with Sleep is a very attractive alternative.

So, better than average, a few complaints, a few notable Good things, ultimately ended ok and was a decent idea. B+ . Need to watch more movies about Depressed Men. Also it would have helped if Mel’s character was a Huge Loser, but he was A Success with a Very Good Job. I would have also accepted him throwing it all away with Drinking. Lots of Depressed People do that. See “Leaving Las Vegas.”

I know Mel did some action/comedy/mexican/thriller/str8-2-vid abortion, I would hope he doesn’t need the money that bad. I thought he was kinda rich. But in that case, then he is selling his soul doing crap like that. Well I’m sure his x-WIFE (the one he was married to for 20 years and thought he could trust, not the russian teen) is taking him to the CLEANERS.

I never saw “Apocalypto” and was honestly never very interested. I DID enjoy “Passion of the Christ” although it was a little too violent, hehehe. I liked what it represented: a devoutly catholic hollywitz outcast doing things his own way and blatantly saying screw you to the interests of his industry. Obv “Braveheart” is the better movie and I think he has another in him. Or I wouldn’t at all mind a Personal Drama about a Catholic Man dealing with his wife betraying him, his gurlfran betraying him, his colleagues betraying him, and him trying to keep his integrity and his strong faith while drinking a little too much and getting angry. Heh. I tried following Mel on Twitter but he doesn’t have an official account. GOOD.

PUSHER TRILOGY by NICOLAS WINDING REFN

PUSHER by NICOLAS WINDING REFN

LONG: 2213 Wds

Been hearing good things about this Danish auteur for quite a while, time to bite. He did the acclaimed American movie “Drive” of course, but I wanna wait on that one. Plus I like Denmark/Danes/ the language. Maybe them being so close to Germany is how they get that real guttural “r” sound that sounds more like a “w”, like in the director’s last name. “Wefn”. Plus they like putting letters like f and n together which “should not” be put next to each other. Intradasting.

Wasn’t sure what to expect out of Refn. There was a VERY GOOD documentary in the bonus of this Pusher disc called “GAMBLER”, (outstanding, arguably better than the actual movie!) which showed a review describing him as “The Danish Scorsese” which seems pretty accurate from view Pusher. It wasn’t too artsy, but it was just artsy enough. He really captured the tone well and added just enough humor. Gritty scumbag drug dealers is all it is. Nothing Fancy, but very fun, very entertaining. Not a high-minded premise, but fleshed out very nicely, very honestly. He knows exactly what he wants to do, and he succeeds in doing it. Dunno if I was expecting von Trieryness just because they’re both Danish, but Refn was way less artsy, way more…Scorseseish. Apparently Refn and LVT do not get along with each other.

The view connects readily with all of the characters, the acting is top-notch, especially from the main character Frank. Really a good job there. Not a slow or boring moment. Refn clearly has a Gift For Storytelling. One of the most memorable movies I’ve seen in months, as far as establishing an Auteur and his Style in my mind. I’d been on a serious Aki Kaurismaki kick, but I think I need something more Danish and less Finnish now, hahahaha. I tried to get into Fassbender but he hasn’t stuck in the same way Refn seems to be sticking. I need ADD entertainment, and Refn delivers this in an Intelligent Film Buff way, without being too artsy or Pointy-Headed. I’m gonna come right out and give Pusher an “A”, even though “A-” might be more appropriate over the long-term. I did front-load my queue with a bunch of Refnz. Except for “Drive,” hahaha.

And about the doc “Gambler”: It was not made BY Refn, although it seemed to be his style; it was 100% ABOUT him and gave a very intimate view of his life, that was not all phony and fake like a reality tv show. You really got to know and like and understand the subject. Refn, or “Jang” as his friends call him, not sure what that means.  But it’s a serious look at Refn’s Rise, Fall, and Rise Again, and gives an interesting look at Making Movies in Denmark. Apparently the State doesn’t give you Million$ to make big-budget filmz willy-nilly; there is a signif amount of personal risk, and this is embodied by Refn “The Gambler”, who went BANKRUPT making his Tryhard Movie “Fear X” after initial success with Pusher. Success and Failure. Plus he’s got a new baby at home. And a Wife. See the young Family dealing with Real Financial Problemz. Working with Banksterz, Attorneyz, and Accountants to get out of bankruptcy and pay back the 5 million danish kroner he owes to…I’m not sure to whom he owes it.

I was unaware of any of this, and did not know Pusher 1 was in 1996 and Pusher 2 was in 2005ish and Pusher 3 was a scant 4 MONTHS or so after p2. See, Pusher2 and 3 were part of his Plan to get out of bankruptcy. So there’s the internal conflict of, he doesn’t want to touch what made him famous just to Make Money, because he has Actual Auterish Integrity, but he HAS to make money, so he’s very concerned about making a GOOD sequel. A Main Motif/”joke” is, he’s popping alka-seltzers ALL THE TIME because he’s so stressed. I have no idea how you can Be Creative and Write a GOOD Movie when you’re under this much pressure. He’s worried, but he Pulls Through, he doesn’t fall apart, his True Believerhood in The Power Of Movies gets him through.

I’m not sure it would work this way in Hollywitz, where he wouldn’t bounce back from his initial commercial failure, and just get gobbled up by Bloodsuckerz, and become another Failed Filmmaker.

It was a decent length, at least an hour, when I was expecting a 20-30 minute “making of,” but no, this was a full-blown documentary, and a very-surprisingly good one at that. Made me even more interested in / sympathetic to Refn. Do NOT skip it.

He has Cannibal Holocaust and Texas Chainsaw Massacre posters in his Nice Danish Apartment, but he is not so much of a Myopic Horror Nut where Horror is his Main Thing. Indeed, Scorsese and Cassavetes seem to be even bigger influences. Capturing Really Real Reality, but not in a Reality TV way, or not in an Artsy way, or not in a Documentary way, but in his own way, and convincing the audience that This Is Reality. I have been Convinced Refn is the Real Deal, and worthy of the hype.

I hope his wife does not Take Him To The Cleaners now that he’s successful again and making money. But According to Wiki they have had a second child. I really liked the Home Life aspect of “Gambler”, that he was a “normal” guy with a wife and child (the child is much more important than the wife, OBVIOUSLY!) and not some virgin neckbeard human lampshade sociopath. Not that it takes anything above AVERAGE Social Skillz to Pull’N’Pound Pvssy, but some Film Types have Way-Below-Average Social Skills and couldn’t Pull Pvssy if their LIVES depended on it, and make up the Lowest Divisions of the Omega Hierarchy, like Comic Book Nerds and Computer Game Nerds and Otaku Nerdz. Not that I have anything particularly good to say about Refn’s WIFE, other than she hasn’t scammed’n’left him yet. But he is Really Cool right now. So Hot. But maybe he has a private reason to Trust Her, and for his sake, I hope he’s right about that. I certainly have no reason to trust her!

PUSHER 2: WITH BLOOD ON MY HANDS by NICOLAS WINDING REFN

I liked it. Good sequel. Didn’t live in the shadow of the first. A-, maybe even A for consistency, in which case, #3 def gets an A, because that one is no worse than 2 or 1. This is not how Hollywitz makes sequels. Refn is exactly what Hollywitz needs. A guy with integrity, a True Believer in the Power of Film, who Goes His Own Way and makes Good, Solid Movies. Even when he’s trying to “milk a cash cow”, in this case, making more Pusher movies because he was desperate and bankrupt, he ended up making two great movies and rising like a phoenix such that right now he’s at the peak of his career.

P2 follows Tonny from Pusher 1. Didn’t know how this was gonna play out. IMHO it worked great. Each Pusher film follows one of the “side” characters from Pusher 1 rather than trying to make a “full-blown sequel” of events tacked onto P1. ALTHOUGH Frank from p1 was great and could have carried another Pusher film, although there’s talk of a Pusher 4, and given the trajectory, I wouldn’t mind it one bit!

If LVT and Kubrick are “Story” guys, then Refn is DEF a “CHARACTER” guy (although LVT has been a Character guy at some points, ie Dancer, Breaking, Dogville, ok a lot of the time haha.) ALL THREE of the main chars in p1 are very strong, thus when Tonny and Milo break off into their own movies, we get two more strong movies.

PUSHER 3: I’M THE ANGEL OF DEATH by NICOLAS WINDING REFN

But I think I may have liked P3 a LITTLE better than P2 because: it was a bit darker, especially over the second half; AND I identify more with Slavs, even Southern/Balkan Slavs, than with Danes, even Trashy Gangster Danes. Just slightly. Reading KMac’s Preface to Culture of Critique avail on Cesar’s Appendix to Downfall of Western World where KMac argues that White Europeans have more individualism and less ingroup/outgroup distinction than more collectivist asian and middle eastern (You Know Who!) races. Meaning Whites are more race-blind, more accomodating, nicer, more trusting, etc. And Refn’s Denmark is a VERY “Multicultural” one. Another thing I liked. The subtext is that Immigrants Bring Crime and Drugs and Divide and Conquer Danes, and the Trashier Danes get involved with the Criminal Underworld, which is what Refn portrays exclusively in the Pusher Trilogy. Kinda “funny” to see White Vikings acting like Jersey Shore Douchebags, violent, stupid, sweatpants and stupid tattoos, years in prison, drug abuse, in P2 there is Welfare Mamas and Babies suckling off the teat of the generous Scandinavian Welfare State, and we ultimately see a society that doesn’t seem “Scandinavian” at all. Lots of Mixing with Balkans, Turks, Arabs, Albanians even! Albanians! This was in P3 and I quite liked that, because I’m obsessed with Albanians.

The guy who plays Milo, Zlatko Buric, is I THINK orig from Croatia; but his character Milo might have been intended to be Serbian or Macedonian. Not sure how different the Serbian and Croatian languages are, I thought they were pretty close. Pusher 3 has really very little spoken Danish in it, except, Ironically, when the Criminal Immigrants are trying often unsuccessfully to communicate with one another. The Serb Milo presumably speaks the best Danish (hard for me to tell, hahaha, in fact, I imagine The Average American Idiot wouldn’t even be able to TELL they’re constantly switching languages, haha), the “Pretty Boy” Albanian doesn’t, has to have the somewhat less pretty albanian translate; Milo speaks Serb or Croatian with his huge family and they are always kissing each other 3  times on the cheek; There’s even a POLISH guy in there trying to sell a young Polish woman to a maybe-Danish female pimp, all brought together by the Albanian scumbags.

Milo gets sucked into serving the Albanian Scumbags out of sense of honor to protecting his family, but ironically has to miss an important family event to be the Albanians’ B!tch, serving them in Milo’s own Serbian Crime Club. (Maybe he is Croatian because I thought Serbs and Albanians hated each other so much re the Kosovo thing, you can’t even have an Albanian and a Serb in the same room together without trying to kill each other.)

Milo has a musical, deep, booming voice which is a pleasure to listen to; and where he was more “villainous” in P1 in that he was the Ethnic Scumbag lording over the Danish Ne’er-Do-Well, at times being the Supernice Friend, but he had a Dark Side and was more than willing to electrocute Frank’s Nipples with Milo’s Co-Ethnic Brute Radovan – who also reappears in P3 in a great side role. Anyway, in P3, Milo is now the Good Guy who’s just trying to do the Right thing (despite being a huge heroin dealer), but he keeps getting screwed. He is 17 years older and looks it, a middle-aged Single Father trying to provide for his Daughter, who is a Huge Spoiled B!tch by the way. He’s still that Friendly Warm guy capable of godawful torture and violence, only now he’s older and more worried, very worried, and you see more of his own drug-using habit. Really fleshed out the Milo Character in a great way.

Indeed, it’s Milo’s sense of Honor (MRA’s might call it Foolish Chivalry and White-Knighting, even) that pushes him over the point of no return, and then the movie takes on its ultra-dark tone.

And Refn looks like a typical Lily-White Scandinavian, but has a nice Boyish Charm that makes him look younger than he is. Watch the extras. Yet he is not afraid to paint a picture of Multiculturalism that is not all Roses. Although I doubt he is even a Race Realist, hahaha. He’s just a “Naturalistic” filmmaker, hahaha. And he’s made a series of 3 films here that Are What Sequels Should Be, no going through the motions, every one fresh, good, unique, memorable, yet enough common ground to tie them in together: the characters, the stylized opening sequences with that catchy fun song and the shadowy faces, the Crime Underworld in Copenhagen, the Multicultis, etc.

I prob shoulda talked more about P2, but I just watched P3 last night hahaha. But P2 was nothing to sneeze at, no chopped liver, it was a fun and good movie too. But Zlatko’s performance in P3 really bowled me over. Refn has a Gift for making Great, Complex Characters, and finding the perfect actors to play them.

Watch any one of the Pushers, it’s better than what your Wimminz will pick for Movie Night. Use “Drive” if you have to with that pvssy f4gg0t b!tch Ryan Gosling who All Wimminz want to TIUTA from, and say it’s from the guy who made “Drive” before he sold out, hahaha.

I look forward to watching “Fear X” (at home right now!) and “Valhalla Rising.” And that other one about the british criminal with tom hardy (“Bronson”) ? Refn keeps busy!
