Universal Love TRTT Part 9: Eat my ass you absolute man child

[Eddie Dingle]

Ok well if you see some guy wearing a communist party shirt that's me

Weird.

I'm wearing my "I'd rather be dead than Red" t-shirt today.

We should hang out.

All three of those films were considered controversial when released.

It seemed to me to be a bit of a re-hash of taxi driver & king of comedy with the joker as an overlay.

I didn't think it was particularly deep.

 

[Sleezy]

I think that American Psycho's controversy was at the book release more than the film

(Not fact checked) I am sure that ironically Christian Bale's step mother was behind the push against the book's release

The book is rough going, but I read it in a day and a half.

Probably the most impactful book I have ever read, and it has changed the way I read books, and how I think about a number of issues.

Haha, wearing the old school baby blue adidas jacket with navy blue three stripes today.

Seems bigger this year.

The dad using his kid as a human shield to barge through to the front of stalls can gagf.

Roger & Linda spotted me, ffs.

They’re two of the (too f@%king many) avid Hot Wheels collectors who bail me up at work every Thursday night when the weekly shipment comes in. Linda was trying to give me her phone number again so I can ring them when the Hot Wheels box comes straight off the delivery truck.

Can’t do it, Linda. Not because of my bosses. Because your arch-rival David, who when not raiding Hot Wheels off supermarket shelves is chatting up checkout chicks at The Reject Shop. Ain’t getting on the wrong side of that guy.

Dat Mormon temple next door is pretty flash farken...

I read it and enjoyed it (sort of)

I tried reading one of his other books, the informers and couldn't really hack it. Something about pedophile vampires or some such. Just made me feel dirty(2) reading it

Really good thanks dylsy.

Nice area to live in. Kids started school today at Armadale Primary and loved it.

He's very insightful on Huey Lewis.

That's how I felt reading Lolita.

Shouldn’t have read it nude outside a Primary school man

So what’s your take on the whole ‘it’s just in his head’ thing that the movie ran with?

I read the book when it first came out and then again after the movie was released and both times I took it that he did do all those things but got away with it because of the indifference of the people around him. Which is the true horror of the story.


I didn’t mind The Informers either but it was a very different type of story.

I never considered it being all just in his head until I read up on Wikipedia (or maybe a discussion board?) long after I'd read it

One of the few books I've read that I hated reading but couldn't put down.

Also read Lunar Park by the same which was a much more enjoyable read but a totally flawed book

Speaking of those things Magpiespower I was poking around Uncle Fella's house the other day and he left a few boxes back in the Hill, is there anything of worth in here?

As an homage to 1977, Tattoo dressed as Darth Vader has got to be worth something.

Saw Joker, good movie well worth seeing. The notoriety from the outrage mob will probably help it sell more tickets. Top shelf performance by Commodus.
