ah damn, RIP to Kiel then.
suck it.

Kiel Martin plays a junkie in this film. Martin was a heavy smoker and alcoholic who wound up dying from lung cancer at the tragically young age of 46.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Nice bump of a 1-year-old Sophie-OP, Crypto!
And after Sophie-mousy discussed so hard with you for months (heroine Sophie said so!) and did lead you back to the correct political faction, you're BFF now.
Noted.
What are you implying? That I'm conspiring with Sophie now?…. Good grief!
We're still political opposites. None of that has changed.

Nice write-up, Sophie. Powerful, devastating and very realistic film. I just watched it for the first time last night but I doubt I'll ever watch it again because it's just too depressing (which says a lot about the effectiveness of the film). Great performances by Pacino, Winn and the other actors.
New York City in the 70s and early 80s was such a dirty, gritty crime-ridden place, at least based on just about any movie made in NYC at the time. The New York presented in The Panic in Needle Park is no exception. The aimless lives of junkies, the shooting galleries, the flophouses, the overdoses, the unforgiving streets with their cold distant passersby, and the constant lying and scamming just to get another fix are all here in this film - it's an alternate reality that few people are even aware of. Having known some junkies throughout my life, I think this film perfectly depicts the lifestyle.
Born To Win, a black comedy starring George Segal and Karen Black (and Robert De Niro in a bit part), is very similar and nearly as good imho. Both films came out in 1971 and tell similar stories.
My rating: "10/10"

lol finally sth we can agree on
thanks for replying and giving some background here. NYC in the 70s really looks like a ****hole in this movie and others. i do know a bit about the history of the city and what caused this, but not so much in detail. there are parts in Berlin that do remind me of all this tho. i live in such a part myself, i think that's the reason why the movie resonated with me so much and why i could connect with the characters and all that lifestyle so much. i lost a couple of people due to OD's, too, my ex-roomie being one of them.
i havent seen Born to Win (havent heard of it either), but i'll look out for it now.
suck it.

Great filmé.

Someone is awful butthurt that I exposed yet another one of their **** socks
I'm not her sock, dumbass. Put down the meth pipe and get a job.
You are so played out. Everyone sees it.

put the crack rocks down, silly bum.
om
suck it.

Isn't that what I just said to you, fool?
Keep crying, toothless old meth addict whose entire life is a lie.
Keep on smiling!

Lol hit a nerve, eh?
i'll pray for u, brother hungry ️
suck it.

Oh look at the disgusting meth addict talking to herself with socks and telling more lies!
Someone is awful butthurt that I exposed yet another one of their **** socks which you use daily to hide but still keep posting because you hate yourself so bad.
Keep on smiling!

that sounds about right.
it's funny bc hungry always claimed he never did drugs, but nimda himself posted once that when hungry was admin/mod here, he took masses of drugs all the time and this was one of the main reasons why he had to de-mod him. he was not reliable for that "job". i also think he's high all the time when he's here now. his posts are often very muddled and confused, like drug-induced rants. i know what that's like, i've ranted on here while high on speed myself, many times. same with Mortsahlfan, btw. they're both the biggest druggies on here currently, with Ben and Mange (RIP) gone.
i'm glad i'm not the only one who sees that. poor souls. i'm gonna pray for their salvation tonight.
suck it.

Hungry's obviously the one backsliding into meth addiction, Sophie. He's been raging all over the board lately. Incredible that he has the nerve to attack you for something he's doing, isn't it?
He is the current leading crackpot of the board with Donna mostly gone.

eh?
suck it.

It true but not by choice she has no money and nobody wants a meth mouthed 50 year old from the Oregon Trail to work off drug debts orally if you know what I be sayin her credit is no good there! If she find random drugs carelessly discarded in dumpsters while foraging for her daily bread it's then and only then back on!
Keep on smiling!

Ho Ho Ho

i'm sober.
suck it.

You should use it as inspiration to quit your own drug habit, before it's too late.
PS A mediocre 7.1 on IMDb.
