It's this year's Napoleon Dynamite

I can't imagine where the desire to go see this is coming from for people. Dysfunctional families, beauty pageants, and a road trip? Depressing that this is the only type independent film people go see/gets produced anymore. I'm sure the cast is good though.

best ensemble cast in recent whatever.

"Depressing that this is the only type independent film people go see/gets produced anymore."

and they are all made by rich rock video makers. okay, not all. it just feels like it sometimes.

Best movie ever made and you know it. By the way, I'm also the "street team" for Hawkwind over on ILM.

How could life sux 4 me if I like something you don't? Don't go in circles trying to figure it out. It's the best movie ever made. Suri jpeg and all!

you're forgetting something... Battlefield Earth

does life sux 4 u or something?

― Butt Dickus (Dick Butkus), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 00:59 (seventeen years ago) link

that's not grammatically correct.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

subject verb agreement demands you use the singular of sux, which is suxor.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 02:01 (seventeen years ago) link

our agreement demands the singular use of you, which is suxor.

you can't-a fool me. there ain't no such thing as a sanity clause!

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Our local film critic intimated that it was typically Sundance, which sums up its faults. Alarmingly well-cast; that's all it's got. n/a OTM upthread.

Dysfunctional families, beauty pageants, and a road trip?

Then don't see this then...

How's that new Battlestar Galactica series?

― Butt Dickus (Dick Butkus), Monday, 4 September 2006 03:15 (seventeen years ago) link

IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE BUT IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE FUCKING NATIONAL LAMPOONS VACATION!

-- chaki (chaki.tim...), August 6th, 2006.

I just saw this movie, and fuck if that wasn't exactly what I was just going to post. I mean, strip away the Proust and Nietzsche references, and that's pretty much what you've got.

Not that that's a bad thing. I LIKED NL's Vacation.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Monday, 4 September 2006 05:02 (seventeen years ago) link

ugh, the Proust references. that bit was really annoying. my poor Steve Carrell, the shit they had you saying.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Monday, 4 September 2006 12:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, killing off Alan Arkin so early really harmed the movie.

Also, the trailer for "Running With Scissors" made me think "The Octopus and the Dolphin" or something.

"One of those 'audience applauds themselves' movies."

ugh. exactly. reminded me of 'my big fat greek wedding' in that respect and also with some awful, awshucks slapstick humor.

How do we tolerate living?

since when do you have to bump start a car with no clutch? did the starter go out too?

― dan (dan), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

i understand the need to push before going into third, but couldn't they start it in neutral?

― dan (dan), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, this was just okay, with a few cute/funny moments. Maybe it's just me, but I tend to flinch at movies that beat you over the head with how "endearingly quirky" its entire ensemble is.

The beauty pageant host was genuinely creepy (and great), though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, that Running With Scissors movie is supposedly based on the guy's actual childhood. Will that be "beating us over the head with the 'endearingly quirky'" cast, too? Maybe you're cynicism has outgrown comfortable existence on this plane.

― IPSISSIMUS (Uri Frendimein), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Will that be "beating us over the head with the 'endearingly quirky'" cast, too?

I don't know. I never read the book.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Is Running With Scissors a lame indie quirk update on a beloved 80s comedy?

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

The Royal Tenenbaums was some guy's actual childhood?

― Petroski (petroski), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 20:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I must admit: The book was unbearable, but the Scissors trailer piqued my interest. Must have been Annette Bening.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 20:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Just give me some normal characters! You know! "You've Got Mail!" No, wait! They're too endearingly quirky, actually! Give me more movies like "Top Gun!" Yeah!!!!!

― IPSISSIMUS (Uri Frendimein), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Right, because I'm a huge Top Gun fan. ::rolls eyes::

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

There's nothing wrong with endearingly quirky -- this describes lots of All the Real Girls, which is one of my favorite films of this decade -- the problem is rubbing the audience's face in it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 21:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Or, maybe the problem is the guy in the audience who feels his face is being rubbed in it?

― IPSISSIMUS (Uri Frendimein), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

IPSISSIMUS, please don't eat the Truckster.

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll eat whatever I want, including a bag of shit. Would you like some?

― IPSISSIMUS (Uri Frendimein), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe you should get over the feeling that your reactions to a film are more sincere than everyone else's.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 03:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesus, what a despicable piece of crap. The movie, I mean.
