Today, with all the fast life-style that everyone leads, credit cards get this amazing demand throughout the economy. Persons out of every area are using the credit card and people who are not using the card have made arrangements to apply for one in particular. Thanks for discussing your ideas on credit cards.

You might have not meant to take action, but I feel you might have managed to express the way of thinking that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to assist, however not understanding how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

Okay, but you shouldn’t call him a hack. A hack is a crappy for-hire director with no voice of his own. You could say that about two of Van Sant’s movies tops. I don’t like all his movies but one thing I do admire about him is that he doesn’t give a fuck what makes money or what people think. He’s spent most of his career working out of Oregon, completely independent, and hanging out with William S. Burroughs. He’s always been a very personal director and because of who he is he put gay themes in his movies long before it was very accepted, if you would even consider it to be accepted now.

And I would definitely vouch for DRUGSTORE COWBOY and MILK. I’d have to watch MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO and TO DIE FOR again to be sure but I remember those being pretty good too. Also that one Chili Pepper video where they’re jumping around in the desert painted silver.

This movie sucks. It is an experiment and it fails. It fails hardcore. Van Sant is good at making failed experiments. I haven’t seen one Van Sant movie I liked. I hate Psycho, Elephant, and Last Days. The guy is a hack, pure and simple.

I just watched his remake of Psycho like yesterday. I knew I was gonna hate it, I will freely admit that. First of all, it’s not a shot-by-shot remake. As Vern stated, it’s a very half-assed movie. There are cuts where there weren’t in the original, and then there are cuts eliminated from the movie also, like in the scene in The Parlor. We see the camera move into its next position where normally there was a cut. Why? What the fuck was that for?

Everything Van Sant has added is a slap in the face to Hitchcock. Not the color choices, I mean the stuff that he added. The shot of clouds going by in the shower scene, the masturbation behind the peephole, the shot of a blindfolded half-naked woman and a cow in the middle of the road in Arbogast’s death scene, “Let me get my Walkman,” and putting live birds in the damn Fruit Cellar. Oh yeah and the porno collection in Norman’s room.

I hate this movie. I hate Gus Van Sant. I hope he never makes another movie. He fucking sucks.
