oh, no doubt ... ELEPHANT was like Schindler's List compared to LAST DAYS ...
but still not sure what his intentions were with these semi docu type of films based on current events.
the reality of both events were vivid enough, without him trying to just put his two cents in.

Agreed. I felt that Elephant worked really well as just a plain drama - whether he intended it as so or not - and I just took it as that. Last Days, I'm sure conveyed well what it was like to be Kurt Cobain in his final week, yet did relatively little as just a film, and weas certainly not enjoyable, or even interesting..
if you did not know ANYTHING about Last Days as you went in to see it ... i think anyone would have been like WTF? ....
there was no setup ... nothing ... the movie either assumed that you know about Cobain, or that you read a prior synopsis.
also, I don't recall seeing any actual drug use in the movie.

Just seen begotten, here's my take.
This is pseudo-intellectual artsy fartsy crap. I wouldnt dissuade anyone from picking it up, as It's quite unique for the way it is filmed, however this movie lacks as much substance as an anorexic vegan. The deity on the front cover looks all neat and gr1m on the , yet on the film you can see in much more detail, that it's just some long haired faggot with a beard and a sheet over his head. Did they not put any thought into fucking wardrobe? Holy hell! This is just bad! How it was heralded as one of the 10 most important movies of our time is beyond me? I feel like punching critics right in the fucking face! The opening scene shows this hippy with a sheet aka "Deity" of all that is and was, stab himself literally 200 times with a razor blade. Ok this would be grand...if it wasn't for the fact that he was barely fucking touching himself with it! It was like he was slowly jerking off with a fucking mach 4 ultra! Anyhow he dies a wussy death and moments pass. Out of nowhere comes a chick from behind the chair with a shitty masquerade ball mask in tow. Oh fucking wtffffffffffff? Anyhow she starts frolicking like a ferry down sunset blvd. This is scene one. This movie only has 2 elongated scenes! Only a person on DXM could appreciate such trite bullshit! Anyhow as the movie continues forward theres this bald guy twitching like a cunt from probably 12 druid penises pummeling his ass 12 hours prior! These druids in bed sheets and scare crow plaided tops start jabbing his penis with wooden sticks for minutes on end. This is not a fallacy friends! Literally this movie contains multiple sex scenes. Ie. Mother nature gives Manson Deity a fallacio in which his dead rotting corpse cums on her face, she takes said cum and rubs it on her "disgusting vagina", shit was hairier than Vlad Divacs unibrow. Later on, after the Ross "Dress for Less" Druids pummel Mother Nature with their dead wood rods, they get the twitching gimp, pummel his penis with wooden sticks and then start pummeling her beaver. THIS IS THE WHOLE FUCKING MOVIE! Oh and the grimmest part is watching twitcher spout a red substance, that looks more like Knotts Berry Farm Boysenberry Jam, than blood, from his lips. Holy shit stay away. This movie is weird. But weird sure the fuck doesnt mean good.

hear about this movie so much but never seen it ...
the director went on to make some pretty well known movies after this ... most recently SUSPECT ZERO which was really good.
might have to check out Begotten one day just for the visuals ... as you say it has no narrative structure.

Finally saw City of God. I can see why it's praised as much as it is. I was glued to the TV. I just hate that they didn't sub a lot of what was said, even some things said by main characters or even when little was being said at all. They just got lazy or something.

The Howling, which was entertaining if bad, and The Jacket, which I was actually pretty impressed with - a very absorbing time travel kind of psychological drama thing. Also saw Buster Keaton's Sherlock Junior, which has aged well. Oh yeah, and Beavis And Butthead do America

Yeah, B&B was almost as amusing as when I watched it when I was 13 
Probably says a lot about how much I've grown up, haha.
Have you watched it with the DVD commentary yet? FUnnier, I do believe, than the DVD itself

Do do do. Seriously, really, really funny. I've actually watched it with a group of people at a party before, many of whom weren't metal fans. It went down well
