It was an unreserved filmic success in my view. The director’s courage in being willing to not merely depict penetrative anal sex between these industrial timber scavengers at the liminal threshold of civilization and wilderness but to use slow, lingering, detailed closeup shots to convey the full magnificence of the act was sublime. At an inflection of economic history, along the personal topography of the human heart as it inhabits men at work and in family, in the intimate darkness of flannel and campfire and tobacco—the masculine way—something magical and anal is revealed.

Odds are also 90+% that RDS has lurked at a minimum. Was at HLS during the XO peak, ran a test prep company after law school and made cringey YouTube videos because he was a weird autist and also ran an edgey right wing meme page. It’s a 100% certainty that he was aware of XO 15-20 years ago though it’s possible a superstriver like him stayed clear after the lolsuit.

Haven't seen it, but from reading the premise it seems like a legitimate triumph from another era. Hope it wins.

And as with anything that shows life in the past, it makes it clear that life before screens was much more of an adventure. We have to go back.

Explain the Hollywood processes at play behind adding the GIRRRLPOWER forest service lady and removing Kelowna Bob. Also why didn’t that one dying hobo get to tell his tale of how he molested his niece and then her dad murdered her when she got pregnant? Thank you saar.

There’s a badass fiery fearless forest service lady who’s not in the book at all who shows up to save the forest from fires like the one that killed the main guy’s wife and (maybe) dotter and her character SPOILS the movie. Also there’s a chill Indian (feather) bro who helps the main guy and then one day some ne’er do wells in town give him his first beer and he passes out on some train tracks and gets run over by like 25 trains. I won’t give away whether he dies but I will say that he’s also not in the movie and that also SPOILS the viewing experience.
