First of all, don't shoot Vicodin. That's just not a good idea. More importantly, Requiem for a Dream is amazing. I am very disappointed in anyone who thinks otherwise. I first saw that movie in a film class in high school (yeah, I'm that nerd) and have loved it ever since. I will say that Trainspotting and Basketball Diaries are both excellent as well, but they just don't match up to Requiem for a Dream.
Maybe I was too high (is there such a thing?) or something when I last saw Requiem, I will download tonite and give it another shot with a fresh mind. I will report back my reconciled feelings afterwards, I'm kinda feeling like the odd man out with saying that I didn't care for it. That's very strange for me as I'm a huge movie buff. Wish me luck!
From a directing standpoint, it is truly fantastic. For another somewhat dope-themed movie, I would recommend Before the Devil Knows You're Dead starring Phillip Seymore Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, and Maris Tomei (who is naked throughout).
Yeah I heard about the Ethan Hawke one, have yet to see it though. Don't even mention Marissa Tomei to me. The things I would eat out of her ass with a spoon you have no idea!
No, I do. The movie itself is good, not fantastic, but acceptable. Come one though, its Al Pacino as a junky, how can you go wrong.
