Just watched it. On the whole, have to say I was disappointed. The old dudes were old, which is to be expected. The young dudes were good but not good enough; I feel like I’ve seen so much Kader hype for the past five years that once he put out a proper part, I’d see the second coming of Ishod. Not that he was bad, just not what I felt like I was promised. (I do love Rowan though...felt like he threw his part together in two weeks, but fuck, that kid is so fluid...please, kick the booze and just TRY).
And wtf...enough with strobeck zoom. I’m so sick of seeing slo-mo adolescent acne only to be rewarded with a shitty flat ground front shuv. I get that the 90s are back, but fuck, if the people want slo-mo acne, plus bad fits and wack tricks, I have plenty of stills/footage from the ACTUAL 90s that took me straight to loserville if I was lucky and on a bad day, it handed me an ass beating.
Last comment, I’ve always hated Dustin—hate the image, hate the pissdrunkx cringey nonsense. But honestly, I loved his part. Amazing song choice and just the whole part captured an end of the line Dollin, which made me appreciate him in a whole new light. Easily the most “moving” part I’ve seen since maybe Jerry’s Stay Gold...but better. It was on some No Country for Old Men type shit. Loved it...and now I hope he finds what he’s looking for.
