The Boondock Saints Commiseration Thread

[iAmBaronVonTito]

Boondock Saints is the Tool of cinema.

wtf?!

Whats wrong with Tool? Serious question.

dont look at it in terms of right and wrong, TE.  rather, wonder why you immediately jumped to the conclusion that the Tool reference was a negative jab instead of a positive comparison.

I didn't even know Boondock Saints fandom was a thing until my freshman year roommate (this was '02) asked if I had seen it and lost his shit when I said I hadn't.  After we watched it, he asked if my mind was blown.  My mind was indeed blown, because I couldn't believe how much I hated it.  I guess I kinda get why a certain group of people love it, I just know that they are generally the kind of people I want nothing to do with.  Post-college I don't think I've had a conversation where it has come up, which is totally fine with me.

The part of me that likes Rush, Zappa, and The Grateful Dead also likes Tool a little.  There are good noodles and bad noodles!

If it's good for 3 minutes, it's better for 30. 2.2 times better!

My college roommate used to say that the reason all the punk rock songs were under 2 minutes was that no one could stand them for 3.

That's YOUR opinion, Siskel.

I have to agree with my pal Fredericks.

A three minute pop song>a 30 minute side length epic. Ask yourself, would you rather listen to Rocket to Russia or Tarkus?

I would much rather listen to Tarkus. Is there a follow-up? Have we walked in the stones of years? Back me up here, Stan.

Would you rather listen to Tarkus or Love Beach?

Would you rather listen to Tarkus or Love Beach?

Well, you got me there; they are all full of bombastic excess (most of which, admittedly, I love,) but Love Beach may be the nadir not only of music, but of all of existence. If Kierkegaard had been subjected to Love Beach, he would have decided he had been too easy on humanity.
