We watched the whole thing, but we didn’t really get. It was his life. And then it ended. There was some brutality and family drama to add excitment.

I like Mike’s point. Watch it drunk with a freind and video tape it. make a REAL Mystery science theater out of it. Just tell your freind to bring a robot. Because you, and most likely your freind, are on a budget you may instead purchase that robot that eats pennies or the cussing parrot robot. Robo dogs and/or cats are also exceptible.

@Alma: agreed.

@Mike: that’s an interesting point, and a pretty great analogy, especially since I do love to dance. Maybe I’ll watch a bit more.

Reminds me of when I had to read a novel I didn’t like for class. I read the first thirty pages, and then I read one page every five thereafter. It was enough to BS my way through a review. Maybe I’ll just watch one minute out of five.

Maybe you’re not evil after all.

As I read the beginning of this post I could not help but think that we were about to see eye to eye. I blundered into Blood quite by accident while strolling around sipping liquor with a friend. I loved the film, even though I was cynical and did not think Day-Lewis was anything amazing in Gangs of New York. I rarely watch movies or TV, so it was a treat.

As I watched the film I had a hard time not smiling at the slow burn and raw buildup of malice, borne out of the period mood of labor, labor, labor. I admit I was under the influence of expensive booze, so maybe the slow pace didn’t bother me as much.

And then you suggest: Mystery Science Theater it!

Double applause! You use MST as a verb (I haven’t watched TV since that show was on the air), and you suggested it in the first place, forcing me to smile! Two well-earned points!

Why continue watching it?

Enjoy some testosterone humor! Bathe in the stuff!

Why dance with a pretty girl? Because she’s pretty? No! Because it’s dancing!

Even we cynics have to dance once in a while. Geez, Will, finish the movie. Try some good vodka beforehand. Not much, just enough. And take a pretty girl, especially one you’ve danced [badly] with, even if she’s not your girlfriend. You’re guaranteed to have a good time, I promise. And I hate movies, mostly.

My point is if you relax, you’ll enjoy it.

I haven’t seen this movie, and I never will. Over-the-top, snobby, and inane come to mind. I hate Day-Lewis. What a pretentious douche.

In order to do a “mystery science theater” blog you will need at least one robot and no more then two. However, do to the technilogical in-advances of today your choices amount to pretty much either a Furby or a Roomba (robotic vaccume). Choose wisely.
