Can somebody explain why I am so captivated lately by the movie The Lords of Dogtown? It is not even that good of a flick, but I have bought the DVD and watched it four times.
I think this movie is fantastic. I have not been so taken with a movie since Sling Blade. Here is what I think may be going on:
1. I was skateboarding my little ass off at about the same time. = Nostalgia
2. These guys had a much "cooler" childhood than I did. = Envy
3. I secretly want to go back in time and choose another career path. = Regret
4. I am secretly in love with Heath Ledger. = Latent Homoeroticism
5. I am a sucker for vintage rock soundtracks = combine #1 & #3
Well probably not #4, but he does give the best performance I have ever seen him give. What does everyone else think about this film? Why do I feel compelled to watch it again and again, even though I nearly have it memorized?
Freaky.
