I wonder what a Lars von Trier movie about Juggalos would be like.

I wonder what an Apichatpong Weerasethakul movie about Juggalos would be like.

I haven't seen much of zoey desch but wasn't she in Weeds? loved that character...

hypothetical juggalo movies should have its own thread

A Mike Leigh film about Juggalos for god's sake...

you think indie fuqs are bad, imagine going into a record store run by juggalos

do her fucking bicycling-around-the-shops cotton industry ads w/ self-penned song air in the UK?

no.

omg that list i laughed so much i got acid reflux

hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJFutyUrllo

jed, just wait till we get further up the list:

Anchorjuggalo
Juggalos on a Plane
Pan's Juggalo
No Country for Old Juggalos

you think Juggalos on a Plane will place?

There are definitely things about Zooey ca. 2010 that I'm not surprised people hate on (even if it's the usual bullshit narcissism-of-small-differences anti-hipster stuff ILXors traffic in, like "oh God she's VEGAN" or "oh God she wears VINTAGE CLOTHES" or "oh God she's married to BEN GIBBARD"), but it's worth mentioning that in 2003 I had no idea who she was and only barely remembered, after reading reviews of All the Real Girls that pointed it out, that she was in Almost Famous.

yr prob the only person on the thread who knew all those things about her

I knew she was in Almost Famous!

Maybe on this thread, jed. I remember some of that stuff being mentioned on the Top Chef: Masters thread.

oh God she was on TOP CHEF

lol

lol that ZD ad for cotton is lame but why that would inspire intense hatred is a mystery. (unless you really hate big cotton)

glad to see my first targeted corny indie haterz vote hit the mark re: AtRG

i really want someone to make "the juggalo teacher" tbh

Re Zooey:

why do you all want 'rich daughters of hollywood' to have all the pathetic indie quirks of your quirky indie friends??!?!

I don't dislike All the Real Girls, but ever since George Washington David Gordon Green has struggled to write scripts that fit his peculiar rhythms and images. I don't know, fer instance, whether the tension between Paul Schneider's warm, natural performance in ATRG and Green's abstraction produces something worthwhile.

The sauna scene was hot though.

"93. Sideways (it's about Juggalos, trust me)"
I also vouch for Sideways' Juggaloesiness.

Green has definitely had diminishing returns (Pineapple Express excluded). Only scenes of any real merit in Snow Angels were the ones with the kid and Olivia Thirlby, and even then only one or two of them.

xpost

btw not seen Sideways since theaters and this has made me really want to watch it again.

Green has definitely had diminishing returns

i haven't seen snow angels, but i kinda liked undertow. again as much for the locales as for the story, i just really like his sense of the south, his places definitely feel like places i've been.

otoh a dgg/natalie portman suspiria sounds like an awful idea. is that really happening?

I don't think any DGG films are actually bad, they're just less than the previous. I liked a lot of Undertow, and as a Southern boy I feel a connection with the rusted out crapholes he liked to shoot in his first three films.

I didn't know about that suspiria remake, and I'm not going to look it up to confirm.

xp - jaymc - is this similar to why people disliked Winona Ryder in the 90s? I vaguely remember disliking her for narcissism-of-small-differences reasons.

George Washington better be DVG's highest ranking film...

Biggest shocker so far in the thread (in a good way!):

Kinda loved HiFid but didn't come close to making my 40. Best movie on list so far tho.

I think Napoleon Dynamite might be my favorite of those listed thus far (despite having given another film that's already placed more points on my hastily-composed ballot), which should go a long way towards cementing my status as a Film Heathen. I kinda wish that ND was one of those movies that nobody else knew about, because it seems to be a movie that nobody really gets. Like, if I'd randomly stumbled upon it as some obscure, bottom-shelf video store selection, I'd've larfed, but I doubt I would've recommended it to many people. The characters' affectless lack of interest in their fates, as they blithely lope from one meaningless misadventure to the next, is like comedy gold to me. Give me subtle, minimalist, dopey comedy like this over anything loud and self-satisfied and desperate for attention anyday.

That's why I prefer Nacho Libre. That, and the fact that Jack Black actually does most of his acting with his face instead of his usual yelling/singing.

Deric OTM.

Omar, fantastic job, btw.

ILX, on the other hand...

^^should be the standard poll thread thanx from here on out

all the real girls had a nice hal hartley zoned vibe but then it was trying to be all hard truths abt lyfe 4 u - not a pleasant combo

I still really like AtRG. Mostly for the mood and the episodic nature of it. There are a ton of great scenes in that movie.

really happy together made it, was my number one

I wonder what an Apichatpong Weerasethakul movie about Juggalos would be like.

i liked all the real girls but i remember zero, nothing, zip about it at all... i couldnt even remember that danny mcbride was in it...

I just figured out that High Fidelity snuck in as a POPULIST entry for Springsteen cameo.

amazing how you can assign completely nonsensical motives even to people that like the same things as you

<3 AtRG so very much. I like all of DGG's movies.

somedude, it was a joke, and you're an asswipe.

do you mean the political epochs in which the films were made? roughly?

no.

I wonder what day something I voted for will show up.

Two of my top 10 are in. I'm golden.

AtRG was in my top ten and Undertow was close. I can see the anti-DGG's point of view, but his aesthetics resonate with me or something.

^ AtRG made my top ten as well, and I think "his aesthetics resonate with me or something" is about as good a defense as i could really provide for why I love that movie.
