It pisses me off because I've watched this before but I didn't commentate on it. I'm learning to commentate on everything I watch in the future so this doesn't happen anymore.

I don't really remember a ton about this movie. 

This particular upload starts off with the director saying "We shot the movie Dark Blood in 1993..."

So that should give some idea as to the approximation of timestamps in the future.

Well, I will say I always thought River Phoenix was pretty interesting due to his archetypal nature, particularly visible in him as a kid... https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/...1AN88L.jpg

This makes me wonder a bit about the fate of other members of this archetype. But I suppose that's a discussion for a different time.

I'm actually looking forward to watching this again though because in the upload of it I saw a few years ago, the audio was all messed up in order to avoid copyright, and the picture was pretty shit too. 

0:40 I'm glad the guy decided to share the movie finally.

2:15 look how fucking gorgeous the desert is. When I was growing up, I didn't understand the magnificence of the desert landscape. It wasn't until I was 26 that I came to understand the majesty of the desert upon my first sojourn to the west.

3:30 what the fuck are these two even doing out here? 

3:44 well, thanks for explaining!!! 

3:55 ugh would you just look at that shitty road!? And is that a nuclear sign!?

4:20 I don't remember them actually making it to this place, I thought they had to be rescued.

5:30 wow, that's Karen Black.

6:50 I kinda like how it's narrated in some parts. Seems like it saves us time because we don't have to watch those scenes.

11:50 now that's a seriously shit situation right there.

15:15 this guy is an idiot.

15:35 OMG look, it's River Phoenix. LMFAO, there's no way somebody that fucking hot is just gonna randomly be in the middle of fucking nowhere in the desert.

16:50 they'd have fucking died in the car if it was left up to her fucking moron husband.

17:35 I'm guessing their reaction to an unknown visitor in the night in the middle of literally fucking nowhere would be a little more... pronounced than that.

20:00 LOL yeah, amen to that shit! Fucking loser-ass husband! Worthless actor twit!

23:01 fucking husband guy's annoying as hell, dude.

26:00 River's profile is adorable... I don't think somebody with a face like that is meant to get old. 

27:10 niiiiice. I dig this lil monologue.

28:45 oh my God fuck yes... fucking dream guy right here.

30:07 I remember this to be an interesting part re: magic etc.

30:45 uhhhh, you can have it baby!!!!!!!!

You ain't gotta ask me twice, I'll tell you what!!!!!!!

31:06 "You're a very disturbing young man" ROFL THAT'S HOW WE LIKE 'EM BABY AMIRITE!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!

33:00 WTF is that her?? Or is it some other lady??

34:20 LOL I guess IT IS her!

Well I mean, come on, IT IS a little bit creepy. But this is an aspect of the movie that I never realized before. It's actually very interesting... from a manifestation standpoint.

35:40 God he's so fuckin' fine. It ain't even right. 

36:12 FUUUUUUCK YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!

38:20 LOL her husband is such a pussy compared to this guy.

41:30 dude look at that badass place he's built there.

44:15 "You do tend to lead the chaps on" ROFLROFL.

48:52 "You walkin' out on me?" LOL. Hey I like this guy, he's just looking out for this chick's best interests!

50:00 ROFL, I love it. I love it.

51:00 that's a great idea, I say do it!

55:15 nice... this is such a dream story, LOL. Like hell yes. HELL yes. 

56:05 pft, forget them.

56:42 LMFAO.

57:26 whoa he really lucked up on that shit huh?!?!?

1:00:20 LMAO her husband is so fucking lame, she really should just let this guy dispose of him and then be his fuckslave.

1:02:05 I know right, he IS totally fucking annoying.

1:02:30 wow, River did that so well. He really was a good actor.

I think this lady is super pathetic for betraying him like that in favor of her lame, tiredass husband.

1:03:45 wow this dog did excellently in its role too.

1:04:35 God these people are such fucking idiots.

1:10:35 OMG is she finally gonna get a piece!?!?!?!?!?! YYYYAAAAAASSSS!!!!!!!!!! Best she's ever had for sure.

1:14:25 "Shut the fuck up!" Amen to that shit!!!

Definitely an interesting final role.

1:16:18 I'd be holdin' more than his hand, gnomesayin'?!?!?!?!?

1:16:55 hell fuckin' yes dude I'd be all over that.

Crazy ending man, that's some pretty deep shit.
