HALF NELSON (RYAN GOSLING; 2007)



WELL THIS IS ALMOST TOO EASY. WE'VE GOT CRACK, RACISM, AND A TEACHER OF A SHITTY INNER-CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM OF GOD KNOWS WHERE. IF I TAUGHT, I'D FULLY RELATE. THIS MOVIE DISTURBED ME SO WELL I BROKE EVERY MIRROR IN THE HOUSE AND STOPPED READING. JUST KIDDING, I ACTUALLY HID UNDER MY BED RE-MEMERIZING MY MULTIPLICATION TABLES VIA THOSE CHINESE TABLE THINGS. NOT BECAUSE I LIKE MATH OR THE CHINESE (P.C. 101 NO PROBLEM WITH CHINESE) BUT BECAUSE THERE'S NO ADDITION NECESSARY WHEN THE SLIDING MAGIGS ARE CRACK ROCKS. I SMOKE 1 I SMOKE 2 BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. EITHER WAY, IF I GO GREEN, I GET TAKEN OVER BY THE CHINESE, THANKS TO HOLLYWOOD, AND NOW HAVE TO DROP MY NEW BORN GIRLS IN THE LOCAL RIVER. GIMME CRACK, AND GIMMEE THE RICHEST POOR IN THE WORLD. BRIT'S HOOKED UP TO A GURNEY WITH A TODDLER HOSTAGE? FUCK YOU. BI POLAR? FUCK YOU. IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT WITH 700,000$ INCOME A MONTH I, AND WE, DON'T GIVE A SHIT. I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I LOVE THIS TEACHER. I LOVE THIS COUNTRY. I LOVE HOW SICK AND REAL IT IS. I JUST ROLLED UP PAGES FROM PEOPLE MAGAZINE AND USED SOME TO SNORT A PROSAIC/COKE COCKTAIL AND THE OTHER TO READ WHILE I TOOK THE ANXIETY INDUCED SHIT. THIS MOVIE IS SCARY AND FANTASTIC, BUT DON'T WATCH IT BACK TO BACK WITH REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. MORAL: RICH & ADDICTED/CRAZY = AWW POOR BABY. POOR AND ADDICTED/CRAZY = DEAD. SUPERFICIAL WRITER, COME AT ME. YOU WERE FAR TO LIGHT.
