This is also my dad.

I was my old man. He knew, so what else could I do? I mean, there’s no future in anarchy; I mean let’s face it. But when I was into it, there was never a thought of the future. I mean we were certain the world was gonna end, but when it didn’t, I had to do something, so fuck it. I could always be a litigator in New York and piss the shit out of the judges. I mean that was me: a trouble maker of the future. The guy that was one of those guys that my parents so arrogantly saved the world for, so we could fuck it up. We can do a hell of a lot more damage in the system than outside of it. That was the final irony, I think. That, and well, this. And fuck you for all of you who were thinking it: I guess when all was said and done, I was nothing more than a God-damned, trendy-ass poser.” - Stevo

thedissolve:

One reason the documentary Room 237 has been so popular among film buffs is that it validates (and, to an extent, mocks) the kind of intense analysis that academics and cinephiles like to apply to their favorite films, suggesting that if viewers look closely enough, they’ll find hidden meanings in movies whether they’re actually there or not. Room 237 uses The Shining as its text, giving a handful of obsessives a chance to explain their theories about what director Stanley Kubrick really intended with his adaptation of a Stephen King best-seller. Now the Room 237 parody Spook Central gives Ghostbusters a whirl, thereby proving either that Room 237 is pretentious and silly, or that it’s so awesome that everyone should make a doc just like it. (It’s probably the former. But we can’t pretend that we wouldn’t watch a two-hour dissection of an Ivan Reitman film.) -Noel Murray
