is it on netflix?

Yes, it's called Tread.

watched it. wow. what a fucking loon. in the beginning i believed him and sympathized. they did a really good job of that. i don't recall hearing about this on the news. crazy. although, my wedding was about 25 days later, so i was pretty preoccupied i suppose. 

That was crazy...I assumed that the recordings were him being interviewed from prison.  I was surprised that they weren't.

I remember this happening.  I would not have remembered the details but I remember watching the news and seeing the report about the bulldozer trashing that town.

Totally. At first I empathized with him and thought he even had a real point, but slowly they reveal the craziness and you start retracting the empathy, until you finally reach the, "wait, WHAT?" stage, haha.

This would have to be the greatest film ever made if it succeeded in getting me to sympathize with an an angry white male in rural Colorado.

in the beginning the filmmaker made it seem as if the town really did have a grudge against him, and really was trying to fuck him over. it became apparent, obviously, he was just out of his mind.

Good manipulation to make the viewer examine and question his or her own initial reactions to the drama unfolding on the screen.

My favorite example of this technique by the master:

Yeah, exactly. I first thought the guy was being screwed over by power hungry white male local politicians and businessmen. They tricked me, lol.

i was thinking more of a small town vs outsider type of vibe. pretty easy to believe that, since many of the town's most prominent businessmen were on the bloody city council! how corrupt is that? and weren't there two Thompson family members on the same council?

Just watched the original Karate Kid on Netflix, reminds me of being the same age as Daniel san.

Finally watched Cobra Kai after being told by many friends that I’d love it. And I do! Binged the hell out of season 1. Probably the fastest I’ve ever binged a season of a show.

You were 30 when you saw the original?

How did you make that out? It was made in the 80's and he's at high school when I was still at school. Do the maths!

Well I was attempting a joke about Ralph being much older than a high schooler when that was made, with him playing a high schooler.
He was actually (only) 23 when the movie came out.

I think Judd Nelson was in his mid-late 20's when he did The Breakfast Club

This looks pretty disturbing

And this looks like a typical Adam Sandler movie

Away is super duper good.

I saw Social Dilemma Saturday night and enjoyed it. Documentary about the power of social medias but it has a cheesy dramatic arc in it that is meant to, I don't know, illustrate the problems of social media. It's a lot of stuff I knew but still put together pretty well.

Only just about every good Studio Ghibli film in addition to other animie films!!!

I loved Cobra Kai (being an 80s kid).  Although, every episode I find my self yelling “this is why you move away from your hometown” and getting really annoyed by the small town drama.
I can picture people I knew from high school still living in the drama thinking their high school football record actually means something.  I, for one, don’t even go back for class reunions...and don’t really fully understand why anyone does!

I went back for my 30th but not sure if I'll go back again...or if they will even have one.  Not very many people there.
