Natural Born Killers

But for the people who are, you know, interested in real history and for the people who are charged for political or patriotic reasons or just because like it feels like a calling to them and like corny that sounds like i feel like being a revisionist is like my calling that's like what god wants me to do um it uh you don't feel so much like you're brushing up against leviathan in trying to correct these lies of history and it's also even if you think yourself basically immune to zeitgeist you're not Okay, you're going to internalize features of it, even if you're doing so in oppositional terms, because it's like the weather.

You know, like when it's coming back, you know, like in Natural Born Killers, that might seem like a corny thing to cite in a serious discussion, but it's actually a pretty profound film, I think.

Owing in large part to the screenplay.

There's this one part where I'm You know, Woody Harrelson, he's modeled on Starkweather.

The FBI profiler of it all.

You know, after this movie, throughout the 90s, you get Natural Born Killers, you get Copycat with Sigourney Weaver, you get The Bone Collector and Spike Lee's Summer of Sam, and then you get David Fincher's Seven, which along with The Silence of the Lambs, really is the definitive serial killer film of the decade.

But it's not as quotable as this one.

Number two, Jonathan Demme's character actors.

The question is, are they really brothers in real life? Holland Taylor plays the mother of Matthew McConaughey, and everyone in it is just pitch perfect, including Matthew and Woody, in their best roles they've had since Dallas Buyers Club and Cheers, in my opinion.

What? Although Natural Born Killers was very, very good.

David,

I watched the first 30 minutes of it and turned it off because the writing was so bad.

I'm sorry.

He did Natural Born Killers after that.

So it would have been.

Natural Born Killers is

not like a typical Oliver Stone movie because it's an edgelord thing written by.

Oh, he

And it clicked.

It was like, this is his kind of fucking super twisted, like, Natural Born Killers, JFK, like, psycho, like, psychedelic, like, LSD take on a very...

when you think about it like very practical sterile somber story that he has turned into such an insane experience i mean like dude you want to i cannot believe at any point i thought robert pattinson was dry i mean he is drenched this whole movie i mean yeah he's

zapping he's so wet the whole movie i think primetime i mean i thought it was the best movie I had seen this year until I saw Lance Oppenheim's other movie of this year, which that's crazy.
