The Brown Bunny (2006)
Even knowing what's (eventually) going to happen here, it's really unsettling to watch a movie where anything could happen, where the rhythms and angles one is conditioned to expect from watching innumerable standard-issue movies and TV shows are violated on a shot-by-shot basis.
Feels more real. Also, less escapist. I like to watch dumb, predictable movies because it makes me feel more secure in my smartitude. It's also hard to actually want to engage with a challenging film when a lot of the time I just want to see some cool shit blow up.

You got it.
I read a very recent interview with Chloe Sevigny where she talks about how she still, to this day, doubts whether doing it was the right choice.

wow, i guess she's not as weird as i thought she was. and vincent gallo is like this greasy svengali. he could probably put anyone in a trance.
not that giving a bj on film should really be that big a deal. it's not like there's anyone who hasn't seen that before... just not with "legit" actors.
