I was thinking of the Ocean's movies, you CHUD

just want to take this time to remind everyone* that Art School Confidential is one of the worst movies in the history of cinema.

*everyone = Bad Santa & Ghost World voters

Thora Birch so much better in Pregnancy Pact.

chaki prob summing up ilx appeal there: record club nerd + wanting to fuck thora birch

otm, I'm not sure what else this movie had going for it

i didn't mind Ghost World, but #17?

Shasta i voted both GW & BS & ttly agree

I thought Art School Confidential was funny - but primarily because I know so many people that went to art school, and I've seen a lot of art school exhibitions - but then I didn't vote for Ghost World or Bad Santa. I don't want to fuck Thora Birch either.

Results are bumming me out today.

Ghost World is good, but as unfair as this sounds, it's impossible for me to like it as much as the comic, mostly because of the changes it made to the story. I really don't think the Steve Buscemi character was a necessary addition, and the time devoted to him took away from the relationship between Enid and Rebecca (Rebecca was much blander in the movie), which was always the most interesting part of the comic.

really wish zwigoff and clowes had adapted "ugly girls" over "art school confidential"

Hahaha!

Also, Art School Confidential the movie kinda suffered from the fact that the best bits of the original comic were already used in Ghost World.

Guess I should check this out, the poster kind of put me off.

I'm holding out for a Pixar version of "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron".

most of clowes best stuff would become indefensible indie film cliches if transposed to celluoid tbh

can't imagine the maudlin-fest if someone got their hands on "caricature" or the juno quirk-ifying that would befall david boring

ghost world is so... mediocre. and art school confidential is so horrible. it's amazing how perfect bad santa is.

i feel pretty much the same. the relationship b/w the two girls was really stripped down in a bad way. and visually it was so unambitious.

I have love for ghost world, but art school confidential is indeed totally wretched.

Totally meh film, but I still say "you guys up for some reggae tonight?"

lol ghost world

rock and roll baby!! freedom of speech!!

didn't vote for it but 'ghost world' was alright, i also figured it had to be a 90s film. enid def reminded me of one of my high school 'friends,' also i suppose i kind of dressed like that from about 94 to 97

The original comic came out in the 90s, maybe that's why.

I think I still make Blueshammer jokes every few years.

reggae and Blueshammer are worthwhile legacies imo

yeah I totally forgot Memento and Ghost World came out in the 00s lolz.

Ghost World is okay but Thora Birch's character is such a loathsome bitch

yeah the problem with the film is that rebecca was so bland that you couldn't figure out why enid would be so heartbroken about the deterioration of their relationship. they seemed more like co-conspirators in the first half of the comic that came slowly out of sync.

admittedly this may be more the fault of scarjo than the script.

lol the fucking INCREDIBLES? jesus christ ilx you crypto-randian fucks.

Shakey, I think it's intentional that Enid is unlikable.

like she seemed bored with their antics before the movie even began.

finally, a discussion about whether the incredibles is randian

tuomas is right, shakey

Has Scarlett Johansson ever been good in any movie? Do people like her only because she does indie flicks and has big boobs?

I don't think the indie flicks part even matters

man i cant wait for the mass pants-shitting when lost in translation shows up.

scarlett johansson is a worse actress than lindsay lohan. there, i feel better for having said it.

I think it does, because she's clearly wank fodder for "cool" people who don't want to drool over the movies of Pamela Anderson.

man i cant wait for the mass pants-shitting when lost in translation shows up.

Was just thinking that. (I just drew up a list of what I imagine the top 16 will be -- I'll be surprised if one of them doesn't make it.)

i think you and i were the only ones who hated it at the time it was released.

show us yr list man xp

watched it again recently and hated it even more. the loss of all those sweeping screen-sized shots of tokyo just makes you realize how empty it is even faster.

its a movie abt stuff being empty tho rite

i think you and i were the only ones who hated it at the time it was released.

I thought LiT was watchable but nt particularly original. Like Jim Jarmusch lite. I remember having big arguments about it with my friends though, who all seemed to inexplicably love it.

enid is so awful that she hangs on to whoever actually puts up with her basically

also, i don't have a prob with scarlett johansson.. uh you do realize women also watch movies and thus half the population probably doesn't like a certain movie only because they have a crush on the actress or appreciate that she has big boobs.

Caché placing above superbad makes me believe in justice - a totally trivial form of justice that applies to nothing significant and meaningful - but justice nonetheless. Yay ILX.

lindsey lohan is a p good actress tho

I think it's fortunate that Lost in Translation came out 7 years ago, because I think it took about three years for me to get over my loathing and annoyance with that movie, now I'm on to the acceptance stage where I just shrug and roll my eyes.

hate the hell out of lost in translation
