How the fuck is this movie never mentioned on this board?
starring, written and directed by Steve Buscemi
also features Chrissy and Artie Bucco from the Sopranos and Samuel Jackson
follows his life as a drunk who lives above his chosen dive bar, interacting with other regular drunks and occasionally doing some coke
fucks 17 year old Chloe Sevigny (basically his neice) during a bender
almost gets killed by her dad
You fags are sleeping on this.
it's cozy and drukcore but also forgettable
I like forgettable indie movies. Love Liza is another good one with Phillip Seymour Hoffman getting addicted to huffing gas and then getting into model planes to explain why he smells like gas all the time.
It was released theatrically in two theaters in the United States on October 11, 1996.[2]
Maybe that’s why.
signs you're about to watch a masterpiece
it's on the list
david chase liked it. i like david chase
I finally watched it on Tubi. It was decent but nothing memorable. Your typical indie movie
Way better than Love Liza. THAT'S a forgettable indie movie, yeah. But Trees Lounge is a classic.
Love Liza
very based. youtube.com
I always mention it in /druk/ threads.
The ending scene with the huffer kids and the guy coming to get his equipment back was excellent
I liked it, it’s obscure in general so that’s why
Buscemi’s character is like 80% of Anon Babble
such a loser they end up accidentally becoming a pedo
I like this movie. I like the way it portrays alcoholism as a normal fact of life and never implys that peoples shit lives would be any better sober. I like the subtle character arc where the old guy who has presumably been sitting at the bar for decades drops dead at the end and Buscemi sits in his spot replacing him as the dead end guy at the bar.
never implys that peoples shit lives would be any better sober.
This is what I liked about Druk too. At the end of the movie Mads has ostensibly saved his marriage by just not being a boring cuck. I know his one friend died and the other one became a slop who disgusted his wife but the main protagonist ended up improving by deciding "fuck it".
I like how Tommy’s arc is understandable for any single dude, your best friend steals your girl and knocks her up and gets you fired, like fuck man yeah I’m gonna drink. Then my ex’s brothers hot teen daughter starts hanging out with me and wants to fool around, score. I’m 26 days sober and it makes the film hit harder.
None of these guys are cool and they seem to make these movies thinking they're Mickey Rourkes or something. I don't like watching overconfidend dweeb shit characteristic of early Gen X crowd.
This is a movie where Steve Buscemi turns down Chloe Sevigny's seventeen year old character who pines for him and begs him to let her move into his apartment.
watch a movie where everyone is a dead end dumb piece of shit
these guys think they're so cool
autistic people should be killed in all circumstances
The movie is definitely filmed to depict those people as cool, it has a miserable copout twist but it does not in any way aims to showcase them as anything other than affable losers.
You're retarded bro
Nope
Again, he cast Chloe Sevigny as the girl desperate for his loser unemployed cock.
Chloe Sevigny is ugly in the face, it's a movie, and that was a highlight of how dumb and bad and dead end his life is. You are very stupid.
Uh huh. Zach Braff made this exact same movie only he cast himself as a drug addicted loser pestered by Natalie Portman.
Okay. You're clearly both autistic and also dumb.
anon who believes that Mickey Rourke wrote and directed The Wrestler argues that the portrayal of a mechanic who can't fix his car or get any job, drinks every day at a dive bar and eventually fully self-destructs his life by taking advatange of his teenage niece while she's boozed up and high is actually a portrayal of a cool guy
imagine the life of the person who imagines Tommy is supposed to be cool
I'm gonna cum in your ear
Pretty sure David Chase loved this movie so much that he basically hired all the actors from it.
It’s pretty funny that there are at least three Steve Buscemi movies where he’s a loser involved with a 17/18 year old
I've worked as a bartender for years, and you'd be surprised as to how often you see shit like that. Idk if it's the alcohol, pity, because they are older or what, but very attractive girls will fuck some of the regulars on occasion. Like "loser in the bar everyday no job" type regular. It's fascinating honestly.
I watched it because I was interested to see if Buscemi was any good at directing. I thought it was a fine watch, but it didn't really stick with me in anyway. It's competent, but not exceptional.
be me
be 10 years old
my mom rents movies from the library because she's too cheap for blockbuster
tells me to go look for new releases
I see trees lounge and heard of it from a preview or something
excitedly bring it to mama
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
SOME LOSER GETTING DRUNK
THIS LOOKS TERRIBLE
Yes, alcoholic watering holes are crawling with top shelf women.
you'd be surprised as to how often you see shit like that.
I wouldn't.
Anon you sound like a genuine retard.
you'd be surprised. Have you ever heard of cocaine? Especially back in the day get a place with some weed dealers that could attract a couple of grateful dead wannabe garage bands a month and you could have a real seedy spot.
Watch Happiness if you feel like offing yourself.
Sounds kino I'll check it out. Is it worse than melancholia, leaving las Vegas or Manchester by the sea?
Thanks man, did you like trees lounge too?
This is a Living in Oblivion board
I love forgettable indie movies
Same brother, I think there's something to be said about filmmakers who craft a narrative out of passion as opposed to those who bait for Oscars or awards, promote some insidious ideology, or purely to make profit without any care for cultural impact.
I've been on a binge lately for hidden gems set in the 80s or 90s (basically before the pervasiveness of cellphones) so I'd welcome any recommendations or suggestions.
not that anon but it's a different sort of fucked up. you'll enjoy it
