could be fun, I guess

altho I can't quite shake the feeling that this looks like Linklater making his own "Dazed and Confused reboot"

I love that this is what he follows Boyhood up with.

It's going to be great. Just don't go in with Academy expectations. See it with a bud.

video was removed what was it

this i guess http://www.slashfilm.com/everybody-wants-some-trailer/

it was the trailer for the new apatow movie xp

Since Linklater had a hand in this restoration, I wanted to draw attention to this real good '80s Texas indie:

Screening in Brooklyn tonight, Blu/DVD in a few months. I didn't know or had forgotten that director Eagle Pennell died at 49, homeless and after struggling for years with drugs.

His earlier The Whole Shootin' Match (shot in Austin) is also worth seeking out.

i think the politics of dazed and confused get overlooked a little, it tends to get talked about like it's just a feel-good period piece. it's really about that moment, the total collapse of authority in america, the particular kind of freedom it promised, the reactionary pushback. all in 24 hours.

It would be an insane movie to try to do and actually pull off, but after watching Dazed and Confused, I had to wonder what a sequel set the day of the seniors 25th high school reunion could be like. It would be set in 2002, since it would be the class of '77.

Passage of time seems to be a big theme in his movies over the years, so it fits thematically with other things Linklater has done.

I'd just like to see a scene of an adult Wooderson set in 2002, even if it was a cameo.

Peter Bogdanovich did this with Texasville and while it isn't as lovely as The Last Picture Show, I thought it was worth seeing.

I should say watching Dazed and Confused again for the first time in a few years. I saw it quite a few times back in the 90s.

so his new one is opening the NYFF, and it's sort of a sequel to The Last Detail.

not a big fan of the Last Detail but that sounds p interesting

really looking forward to this

yes
Carrell and Cranston are awesome, I could take or leave Fishburne but willing to go along with it

We're getting his American Masters eps tonight!

"EP" singular.

Missed a chance to call it "Linklaterhood"

My un-vast list of his best.

good list, essentially feel the same re: top 3 and everybody wants some is my least by a wide margin

I'm glad somebody else had some appreciation for Me and Orson Welles.

this list doesn't even have Slacker or subUrbia!

oh shit, suburbia is so good

early roundup on the new one

Had I not known this was Linklater, I don't think I would have guessed.

In any case, it was pretty enjoyable despite the somber subject matter.

^ re: Last Flag Flying

I keep forgetting it exists. It barely seemed to register with critics or the public, which is odd given the high profile that his last two had.

I had no idea whatsoever that it was a quasi-sequel to The Last Detail until like a day ago.

he's doing a summer of '69 Houston film

CASTING CALL: Director Richard Linklater needs your Houston area photos, videos from the 1960s for a new movie. Have a home movie from Astroworld or the Astrodome, or a recording of your little brother with Kitirik? Did someone you know use a Kinescope to record the moon landing? If so, we want to see it and anything else that documents that era. There is no wrong material, as long as it from Houston in the 1960s we want to see it. Please email to Spaceagemo✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧

...and he's got a movie coming out later this year (which I found out about because I saw an FB share for a casting notice for Hispanic voiceover artists)

Before sunrise trilogy is solid. Last film was heart breaking in that it sorta confirmed love often ends up in the boulevard of broken dreams

Curious! The last film disappointed me enough to wonder if the first two, especially the first, had hornswaggled me.

yes

Nah, the first two are still gold.

I need to rewatch the third. I liked a lot of things about it, but it left me unsure how to feel about it.

run away if Ethan Hawke sits next to you on the train

or wear a gas mask

The second one in the trilogy really kills me

i need to watch more of this dude's movies

after i finish my james spader marathon

he's due for another poll, although he works so much it still feels too soon. but I bet Boyhood would win this now. Dazed & Confused is the most overrated movie I've ever seen, I don't get the love for it at all. it's good but jesus

of the linklater movies I've seen boyhood would not even be top 5

Suburbia is massively underrated

Show feels more and more like Slacker with every passing ep, which is a welcome feeling to me. ― Position Position, Saturday, February 3, 2018 9:02 PM

I'm too close to the Before Trilogy to be objective. I love them though.

i happen to just watch the linklater american masters pbs doc yesterday.. hes def smart & talented

difficult to imagine liking 5 of his movies above boyhood unless u really disliked boyhood i spose

I fucking hate Boyhood so much

i just watched Before Sunrise for the first time this weekend and found it enjoyable on a cinematic level but it did not affect me at all on a personal level. Like Julie Delpy said to her friend in the fake phone conversation, Ethan Hawke's character seemed like an adolescent. I liked that she didn't want to bone him; it was very mature of her to decline. He's very American! Kinda want to see the others now. Are they streaming anywhere? I saw BS on Filmstruck but they don't seem to have the other two.

That's cool -- most works of art don't affect me personally either, especially when I see unpleasant people.

I know Netflix was streaming the last two.

But they did bone. In the cemetery.

It might have been a park - been a while since I've watched it but I'm pretty sure it's at least heavily implied that they do and then referenced in the 2nd one.
