It's interesting you'd interpret it that way.The quote is intended to convey the opposite. Ie, 'Find the silver lining in a bad situation.' at least that's how I took it.

i thought the film was plodding. I didn’t know why till about half way through and then I realised.

there is no score.

maybe I should watch it agin. I have been known to be wrong. I remember thinking the disc man was the future of mobile quality music.

It isn't a conventional movie in many ways

That is it's appeal IMO

Never even realized it had no score

you are embracing your bad luck.

and thanking it for saving you.

fuck that.

You're acknowledging that your bad luck was in fact good luck. "Luck" is often neither bad nor good. It's up to the attitude of the individual to interpret it.

no. Your quote sums up our different approach perfectly.

your bad luck saves you from worse luck. you Embrace bad luck to save you from worse.

No, I don't "embrace' bad luck. I like to think that "everything happens for a reason" even when those things happen to be bad.

There are close seconds due to more than a few duff episodes. But it’s definitely the greatest.

Recommendations? I'm tempted to call Breaking Bad a close second, but there's a certain cheese factor that came into play when the series got really popular. The Challenger product placement stuck out like a sore thumb.

And the RAGE product placement. Just blatant whoredom in the middle of a brilliant production. At least Sopranos was coy with their Coke placement.

I thought the writing was brilliant up until the last season. One episode you're hoping for the death of Gustavo Fring, the next you're left sympathizing with him.

Seemingly every episode involved a character being painted into an artificial corner. That sir, was fucking lazy.

Welcome To Action Park:
The World’s Most Dangerous Amusement Park​

“Action Park”
If you grew up near New Jersey, the chances are pretty good that the mere sight of those words floods your brain with feelings of dread, doom, and possibly the memories of at least a few scars—if not the time of your life.
Here's the gist: During its 1980s and 1990s heyday, New Jersey’s Action Park earned a reputation as the most insane — and possibly the most dangerous — amusement park that ever existed.

It was known as a lawless land, ruled by drunk teenage employees and frequented by even drunker teenage guests. The rides were experimental and illogical, and seemed to ignore even the most basic notions of physics or common sense—not to mention safety.
Let’s put it this way: There was an enclosed tube waterslide that went in a complete loop—and that wasn’t even close to the most dangerous ride at the park.

Lying somewhere between Lord of the Flies and a Saw movie, Action Park is remembered as a place so insane and treacherous that, decades later, anybody who ever stepped foot in it is left wondering whether their memories could possibly be true. It became a nearly perfect breeding ground for urban legends and myths.

And then there was the park’s founder: A genius madman who was willing to break any rule to bring his vision to life, including the creation of a fake insurance company in the Cayman Islands to circumvent insurance regulations. As cunning as he was criminal, Action Park became the pure expression of his particular worldview, which valued self-responsibility above all else—including basic safety measures and physically practical rides.

But despite—or perhaps because—of its safety record and notoriety, Action Park is remembered fondly by a generation who cut their teeth (and their skin) on the park’s treacherous attractions. To many, the scars left by the park are viewed as badges of honor. Surviving a day at Action Park was far from a sure thing—but if you did it, you left feeling like a changed person.

Class Action Park is the first-ever feature-length documentary to explore the legend, legacy, and truth behind a place that long ago entered the realm of myth. Shirking the trappings of nostalgia, the film uses investigative journalism, newly unearthed and never-before-seen documents and recordings, original animations, and interviews with the people who lived it to reveal the shocking true story for the first time.
Welcome to Action Park: A place the likes of which, we will almost certainly never see again.

Also it's a great movie, but I absolutely hated the ending. Which also ties into racism. It ruined the movie imo
