thank god i was hoping this thread was not someone else who just saw the movie and thought it was the best movie ever made

[KneeCo]

Myself and others have said it in OOT before, the movie sucks, but yea the majority here seem to love it.

[NT!]

It's popular because it makes Irish-Americans look like heroes instead of wife-beating drunkards from the Somalia of Europe.

It's like Scarface, Anne Rice or Ayn Rand.

If you're 14 the first time you experience it, it's the coolest, deepest [censored] ever.

Otherwise,

Meh.

op,

i heard lots of great reviews for the movie...and saw it...and enjoyed it (was drunk)...but as many say when you really examine it.....eh.....

i can almost guarantee a night following mason around would be more entertaining if only slightly less bloody...

Ah yes--the closing credits...

Bad.

Of course, it gave them an excuse to put some black folks in.

Dude it's set in Boston what do you expect? I'm about to get my [censored] on too.

Like everyone said, it's awesome when you first see it when you're young. Then in college you watch it with buddies and enjoy all the guns, the melodramatic fight sequences, and Rocco saying, "you start getting excited [censored]!!!"

The worst part of the movie, undoubtedly, is when Dafoe wanders out of a bar drunk and starts following Rocco. The music playing is some cheesy techno. It sounds like the music they play at the movie theater when they're telling you about the snack bar and how you can't smoke or make phone calls. It's awful.

Go get Overnight next.

"A documentary on the rise and stumble of Troy Duffy, the bartender-cum-filmmaker who was swept up by Miramax's Harvey Weinstein to turn his script for The Boondock Saints into a feature film."


Troy Duffy seems to be a total prick and shoots himself in both feet, a hand, and then his mouth all in about 90 minutes. He gets totally blackballed from Hollywood for telling Harvey Weinstein, who basically pulls him from anonymity to Hollywood director in 6 months, to go [censored] himself.

It's really quite entertaining to watch, him being a total prick throughout and all.

For me the movie was sheer joy from beginning till end.
Even just thinking about it makes me cheer.
I don't know how old I was when I saw it, must have been somewhere around 46 I think.

Wouldn't have missed it for the world!
