Gummo

I could understand that. I personally, have always had a notable interest in serial killers (though, it has greatly settled, I used to spend hours reading about famous serial murderers. FUCK CLASS, GO TO THE LIBRARY.) and similarly unsavory characters. Not just your typical despicable child rapist, but like, dudes who collect their victims' hands or genitalia or what have you. Fucking CRAZY people. Basically, if something is "fucked up" and mentally stimulating in that sort of manner and is well put together (which I like to think Gummo was), I will probably be entertained or even genuinely inspired. Some of the acts of debauchery presented in that movie were fairly interesting to me in that, I had never even conceptualized the idea of someone whoring their mentally challenged sister out. I mean, who would? But yet, it has totally happened probably innumerable amounts of times in our supposed civilized 21st century. It is every day to some gnarly motherfucker, it is an unashamed way to put food on the table for that guy. Pure fucking insanity. And the kids shooting/whipping cats in the woods to black metal, huffing paint (that was just plain awesome ). I just like the idea of all of these disgustingly real things all happening with (I mean, hopefully..) unrealistic frequency in one town. There are also lots of moments of.. sort of sideways humanity in it, as well. Provides some nice contrast to the batshitness, I think.


Interesting to note: So many trashy pieces of shit in that, only 4 characters were actual actors and much of it was real footage of people who volunteered to be filmed.

The only proper location for the homeless to congregate is inside a gas chamber or burning building.
