mcsluggo Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) and the definitive documentary...? http://dangerousminds.net/comments/florida_man Jon Stewart has called Florida “America’s Wang,” and it does seem like the state’s strong peninsular properties somehow attract people who are on the end of their rope. In Florida Man, Sean Dunne’s endlessly quotable and surprisingly poignant documentary about worn-out and inebriated layabouts in the Sunshine State, the viewer meets a wide variety of beercan philosophers in the course of 50 minutes, many of whom have tales to tell, of the government’s economic dependence on the incarcerated, of the heady thrills of a lifetime of brawling, of the murderous tendencies of pill addicts, of the undeniable pleasures of an impromptu three-way underneath a pier on a beach. I’m tempted to call this movie “the real Fight Club,” but that’s not right. It’s “Old Drunk Guy Parking Lot”—a majority of the footage was obtained outside various bars, motels, laundromats, and tattoo parlors, and certainly a majority of the interviewees, if not nearly all of them, have booze sloshing around their system. However, it’s hard to state anything equivocal beyond the two facts laid down in the title—it’s in Florida, and it’s about males. Not all of them are old, and not all of them are drunk. Taken together, however, there’s an unmistakable commonality among the worn-out old dudes who were willing to interact with Dunne and his crew. As one guy says, “When I moved here I was a damn Yankee. I got upgraded to redneck.” (Come to think of it, “Upgraded to Redneck” isn’t a bad alternate title for the movie.) ...... <see more at link> Edited December 30, 2015 by mcsluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Jacksonville can be fun. Ocala/Silver Spring area has some lovely natural wonders and attractions. From there head southeast and don't stop until you've hit Jupiter at the least. Take it all the way to the Keys if you can, but be forewarned...you may not come back.

PCS Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 2 seasons in Southern Florida. Wet and dry. Wet season,when it's on,you can set your watch by the thunderstorms. And right when you think it can't rain any harder,it does. Nothing like seeing a fish swimming across the road during one of those storms to help you realize that yep,Florida is kind of different. The wife and went back September last year to have a reunion in the Keys,(Islamorada),with some friends we were stationed with back when Homestead was an active base. Still the tourist trap and still an interesting and diverse group down there,though very much crowded. Also notice a lot of these things wandering around down there,(they call it an infestation actually. Way out of control). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
