I was appalled all the way through the film, but when Ethan Hawke got to the third verse of "Add It Up" and left out the "fuck" ("why can't I get just one ....? why can't I get just one ....?"), that pushed it over the edge. I knew I was in the presence of truly epochal awfulness.I did like Singles.

^^^ good sense, all of this.
― pancakes and sizzurp (Eisbaer), Tuesday, 26 March 2013 11:02 (eleven years ago) link
back in '94, i was sensible enough to get the fuck up & walk out right after "add it up." my innate sense was that it wasn't gonna get better at that point and could get much worse.
i sat through it this time, and i was definitely more sensible in 1994 than i am in 2013.

i didn't realize/care enough back in 1994, but i just realized that this movie was set in Houston. this movie would have been much improved if the Geto Boys had shown up and re-enacted one of their songs (maybe "mind of a lunatic") using the characters as their victims.

I dug this at the time, but am psyched to go on Netflix tonight and discover it was actually terrible.

it's also fun to imagine that Steve Zahn's character in Treme is the same character as his character in Reality Bites only ten years older (and just as "gay" as he was in Reality Bites).
― pancakes and sizzurp (Eisbaer), Tuesday, 26 March 2013 11:56 (eleven years ago) link
The funniest thing about this movie being set in Houston is the idea that the fake MTV channel is headquartered here. Although considering how briefly entrenched the real thing got in Austin just a few years later, was it merely prophetic?

ethan padgett's character on ILM.

Mark smoked a lot of weed so probably Troy, I think.
Also, can we just talk about the fact that Ethan Embry was so promising in the cute/handsome stakes early on and that whole thing just did not work out for him as an adult. At all.
ethan embry is apparently awesome in that one film i've mentioned a few times on FB fwiw....

haven't seen RB since '94, but I don't think it thought very well of its characters. No defense of EH doing "Add It Up" tho.

Caught it the other night after not having seen it in years. Is it weird/wrong that I have a mild affection for the film now that is almost solely based on allowing its (reasonably) attractive, young cast to worry about money? Was this the last mainstream Hollywood romcom where everyone on screen wasn't filthy (and inexplicably) rich?

Good calls (though I'll have to take your word for it on NH, which I haven't seen); even though YGM essentially takes the side of the corporate behemoth, its still there.
Music and Lyrics is probably the only watchable Hollywood romcom of the last 10-15 years.

They don't really worry about money though. Doesn't their main money-making venture involve reselling gas bought on their parent's credit cards?
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 7 June 2013 16:55 (ten years ago) link
Well, that was a solution to their money probs. The movie is still about people who worry about money.

there's an oral history for everything now:
http://www.hitfix.com/in-contention/20-years-later-an-oral-history-of-reality-bites
wow, i had no idea this was the first American film Emmanuel Lubezki shot.
When I read the screenwriter never had another film script produced, I thought "That would've never happened if she was a man," and "Rather just."
It only grossed $33 million tho.
