Dark Humor


I consider myself to have a sort of dark, sometimes dry humor, but the scene where Michael Alig and James St. James are casually joking about this is a good place to dump a body was very callous. Wow.

I don't remember the name of the man (side front ponytail, sitting in the dark club) but what he said about "there has to be something more" I completely agree with. It's one thing to be high out of your mind and whack someone with a hammer who you felt was threatening you. It's another thing to pour Draino down their throat, dismember, wear their boots and brag to your friends about him being gone, use their drugs, etc. etc. etc. You have to have something in you that would get you to go there. Sure, the drugs helped it along, but like he said, I've known plenty of people who were on heavy drugs. It had to have been there in the first place.

It's very sad to me because it seems like no one cared about Angel being murdered. Out of the entire documentary, they probably spent roughly 15 minutes on it. I wanted them to spend more time on the murder and the details of it since I had never heard of this story. Everybody in the movie seemed to be more sad and concerned because the club scene is no longer what it was. Angel just seems like an afterthought in the whole piece which is disappointing.

He was a psychopath. The drugs just exacerbated it.

He was a lowlife dope pusher. These people all deserved each other.

That's because people like this are incapable of thinking of anything other than their own wants and pleasures.

I totally agree!!! They should've ended the documentary with him in jail. He's blaming his narcacism on drugs which is complete *beep* He's still a complete narcissist!! And joking about someone's death that you caused!!! Crazy!!!! Why are they trying to sensationalize murder!!! If this was done to make us have sympathy for him and see his side of it, it was an abominable failure!! Disgusting.

Yes, it is obvious that he has not been rehabilitated in any way, shape, or form. He is still a psychopath and, given the right circumstances, would gladly lie, cheat, steal, and kill again.

If you really want to see more about the actual case, go watch the Party Monster documentary or even see if you can find the old American Justice episode on it on YouTube. The party Monster documentary has Angel's brother in it btw.

Seriously...the later part of the film after MA got out seemed like such a huge show...hi mand his friends just hamming it up for the camera. The part where they start laughing about dumping a body shocked me... i literally yelled *beep* this guy" and i love crude humor. They are trash.

And your so right about the doc seeming more about them missing the club scene. I found that stuff interesting since I never knew about it also felt wrong.

I read this in a chola accent.
