    Well it's come to this. Mike and Jay have nothing better to talk about than a DVD where Neil Breen talks about himself for almost 6 hours and a mostly forgotten 80s movie called Rawhead Rex, written by Clive Barker and shot in Ireland for some reason. Nothing matters anymore.

    I didn't know Neil Breen was originally an architect, but that just makes perfect sense to me now. Somehow as graphic designer I've ran into so many architects who think they know everything and are extremely insistent on taking full creative control over projects that aren't architecture.

      This speculation is based on absolutely nothing, but maybe being an architect just instinctively turns you into a pseudo intellectual. Maybe knowing how buildings are constructed gives you insight into how anything is built, so you start to think you understand literally everything.

      A part of me wants to say yes, but i somewhat feel that's not really it. I've met or heard about people like Breen. They have a job, even a good one, maybe a degree and maybe even a family, but are completely oblivious to a large portion of reality. They know OF the internet, but they have a very basic idea of it. Sure they use phones, but have no interest in how or why they work, they just use it as a phone. They know movies exist and have seen some of them, but have never thought about why a scene works, how it was done and what other movies have a similar scene. It's a mix of pragmatism, blissful ignorance and narcissism. I can list some examples, for the amusement of the comment section :1) A guy i've worked for that owned a company which installed security cameras and alarm systems, had no idea how any of the products worked, he was just a good seller and somebody told him there was good money in it. Delegated everything to us, kept telling bold lies to the clients about the products he sold. 2) a lady who was an amateur actress that created an amateur acting company from nothing, doing auditions, giving acting classes, everything a theatre director should do i guess, while being the worst actress i've ever witnessed and insisting on acting in every play, ad-libbing her part and failing at everything, every time. 3) A guy who thought he was a genius guitarist and produced an album every year, mixing it by himself, hiring young musicians to be in his band with the promise of a great career. The point being: They know how to make things happen, no self-awareness on why they shouldn't

He’s probably been told most of his life that everything he does is great and nobody contradicted him so he takes himself dead seriously. Strong narcissistic traits as well. No self-doubt there at all, unlike those many really artistically talented people are riddled with.

      A few years ago Neil would discuss his films with commenters fairly frequently, and he is serious, but also not too defensive of criticism. I think at that time he struggled to see the aesthetic problems of his movies, like legitimately, I don't think he could see the quality issues because he just hadn't developed that type of aesthetic awareness. That was my impression. But I think he sees himself as a rogue filmmaker, or at least he did... not the type of personality to really be ironic. He was too literal for that kind of thing, but I don't know what he.

      Lol sorry for the late response everyone.. so I'm still digging for more, but this was during my friend's dad's time in LA trying to make it as an actor (and before moving to a Vegas commune and briefly becoming the pastor of a church... super interesting life he's lived) and he heard Breen was searching for cheap actors. He needed the job so he took it.
      Apparently Breen was somehow both incredibly demanding and specific with how every detail of the film was executed, but at the same time always seemed entirely lost and confused as to the overall vision for the final product. The shoot was also nightmarish given a lack of accommodation for the crew and cast's transportation, food, water and general well being (given how absurdly hot it was during principal photography). I was also told Breen himself was an incredibly creepy dude. Like lots of weird mannerisms and "a really off-putting attempt at an amiable natural that felt like he was hiding a ton of tension beneath the surface at all times... but not in his eyes. His eyes were lifeless."
      Anyways that's what I've been able to gather so far! I'll post again when I learn more!

    • @mixtersushi
      @mixtersushi Рік тому +4

      ​@@SoulOfSpartathis only deepens my belief that Neil Breen is on the spectrum. As an autistic myself, I've picked up on a lot of his traits and mannerisms. When we emote, it either comes across as too much or too little, which can trigger a reaction from neurotypicals who misread us. Another part of that is black and white morality, which is a HUGE part of Breen's filmography. Sometimes, we also don't recognize there's a problem with our behavior/actions because we're not told - in very plain, straight to the point language - that these problems even exist. That said, if he's made aware of these issues and doesn't work to resolve them, he's being a dick.
      I think, too, that it would explain just why he's so bad at filmmaking. He gets hyperfocused and fixated on making it exactly as he imagined it, without taking into account the suggestions and criticisms of others. I mean, I'm sure the dude has other issues, of course, and I'm not diagnosing him with anything. I'm just saying I see a LOT of autistic traits in the dude. He's of an age where he wouldn't have been diagnosed, was probably just written off as "just a weird kid" and left to his own devices. 🤷‍♂️

    The little boy is played by the Irish actor Hugh O Connor, he played the young Christie Brown in My Left Foot a few years later. I think he's still acting today.

    Rawhead Rex is actually a great short horror story -- and it has a FANTASTIC graphic novel adaptation that I would suggest all fans of the genre read!! The movie has many of the same elements but does them no justice whatsoever. Also, he pisses on the priest, no doubt. Please read the graphic novel, dear reader. It's so fuckin good! If you find you share the same taste in horror as Jay, I guarantee you'll love it!
