Meh. Carrell was fascinating but all in all it wasn't overly entertaining and it didn't leave me with anything to think about.

Kevin Smith had a podcast talking all about this movie, saying it was an incredible "character study" type of film. I don't want to watch it myself, but their descriptions of the film make it seem odd and slightly enjoyable.

After seeing this film I wished I had watched something else. It wasn't a bad movie, but it just didn't go anywhere. More of an artsy kind of film.

The original cut was 4 and a half hours long. You can tell they removed quite a few scenes that would have made the movie a little more coherent.

Did he kill the one guy in the movie? Supposedly the Foxcatcher book tells a much larger story (as per Kevin Smith's podcast).

Anyone know what violent scene was edited out of one of the releases of this?

it's more interesting to see the rhoid rage fallout of mark shultz on twitter

I HATE EVERYTHING THAT SCUM TOUCHES. EVERYTHING!!!

TLDR/context: he saw the film he loved it, then when the film was released all the critics were like "wow they were really gay for each other huh?" then mark shultz goes all ragey. Basically he was too dumb to form his own opinion.

In Mark's defense, that scene should have been removed. John Dupont wasn't gay, nor was that scene supposed to be a homosexual encounter (although it appears that way on screen). Dupont was just crazy and wanted Mark to train him at zero dark thirty. He's not having (or attempting to) have sex with him in that scene. He's simply attempting a freestyle wrestling move known as a gut wrench. People who follow the sport know that. However, since 90% or more of the viewing audience know next to nothing about the sport of wrestling, they just thought Dupont was trying to have sex with him.

i would say 99.9% of the ppl and critics. Is this the scene where he's showing off to his mom, and she has the "my fucking gay ass son, fuck!" look?
