I didnt see my post from tarnation up there?? I honestly thought tarnation was one of the deepest films i'v seen. The original $218 budget and the significance of the events in the film is nuts. Every scene is strong and almost disturbing, which in my opinion most of the time are the films that you will remember. Putting his life events out there like that is to me admirable. We have a tendancy to disclose only what we want people to know about us...or share only the happy times but in reality life isnt always happy and the things that happened to him in his life does actually happen all the time around us. Human nature is to supress painful memories and painful events, he actually put his pain and suffering out for the world to see, almost like a huge billboard "this is who i am" i definately respect that. As twisted as it all was, i was speechless and honestly thought it was one of the best films ive seen, true life and the way he put the spotlight on his experiences definately woke me up.

  1. Interestingly enough Caouette presented Tarnation with his mother in Williamsburgh over the break. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go see him.

    Are you going to write on this film for the next paper?
