"He's like so deep and mysterious maaannnnnn like he made a movie about a dude who like totally wanted to bang these two mexicans….and it was like art maannnn"
I have a very small knowledge of drugstore cowboy but have always thought the movie drew huge comparisons with Danny Boyle's trainspotting. I know trainspotting came out quite a few years later though. Does anybody have more information or see the connection netween the two films? I wonder if Danny Boyle was quite influenced by the contrast of banality and heroin use while shooting the injecting scenes. The trainspotting scene with the dealer fixing Mark his needle like it is a meal at an italian restaurant always reminded me of this contrast
True story I had seen drugstore cowboy when I was like 17. I thou the movie was really devastating and just incredible. Being so young it really stuck with me and later in my mid to late 20s when I found myself a junkie wasting years of my life I often thou back to the movie. I ended up getting together with a guy I knew since I was like 6. He was a junkie too. And this isn’t that uncommon. Using can be really lonely and having someone looking out for you can come in handy. Only I totally fell for this guy. He was like my own little drug. And when he told me he had to get clean, that he wanted to do this the right way, it made me think of the movie again. I wasn’t going to be fucking Diane. So I went and I got clean too! Bc it was important to him.and bc he was really fuckin important to me. And now here we both are in long term recovery, married, with three girls. A home, a wonderful relationship with our families…and a life we could only dream of on those nights we were sleeping in some random basement on the shady ass part of town high out of our minds.
Drugstore cowboy was a favorite of mine long before I became an addict. I probably should have taken that as some kind of sign and took measures to make sure I didn't end up like I did. Who knew that liking a movie like that would be an indication of the desire to use drugs. The screwed-up part of it was I was a dare kid. I have to wonder if it's the movie that made it attractive, or if I was attracted to the movie because of some kind of latent desire to be fucked up
His movies always impressed me / made me think
Just watched drugstore cowboy today! Day made. My Own Private Idaho and Last Days changed my life. Love this series🫶
Nobody cares
My own private Idaho was one of my favorite works of his Elephant was also very well done.
Definitely Outsiders .
They were all on Jeffery Epstein Island.
So… KIDS. Cancelled?
Someone at Vice forgot James Franco was canceled as they are rehashing old content.

Like a hipster, he Coppola, Sofia
Harvey Milk condoned Pedophilia
Harvey Milk was a US Navy diver. THAT is a triumph.
I thought franco was a sex offender. Still hiring this dude?

Drugstore Cowboy, Gerry, Milk, Elephant and Paranoid Park are my favourites by Gus.
Why is all the good content from Vice from pre 2017. Hmmmm.
