RICHARD LINKLATER

Keanu would smell like a nice mid-price soap bought at a good spa resort.

Ethan Hawke would smell like old Birkenstocks lying on stale raisins.

lmao

these movies are just like... life happening, maaan.

i would remind you that a Film Comment writer circa Boyhood was confident enough to call EH "rat-faced"

I read his first book when it came out which must have been at least twenty years ago. It was . . . fine. Not worthy of any awards but certainly not terrible either.

there was a short story in Adrian Tomine's Optic Nerve series in the late '90s about the ghostwriter of a young actor's novel following the actor around on tour and watching him read from the book he hadn't written. always wonderssumed that it was inspired by actual events & about Hawke.

I knew the movie was taking the piss out of Jesse -- as if the first movie hadn't already signaled it, but I was younger -- when we see him in 2004 basking in the success of a thinly disguised bildungsroman. Of course Jesse would be an airhead who can write nothing except autobiograpy.

nope, that was the book he held up
i just watched it a few days ago

that book is doing a lot of heavy lifting establishing him as an interesting person iirc

lol otm, the thing about the before movies is that jesse is a huge dingus

oh damn that's a solid xp

jesse is a huge dingus

this was obvious to me when she said he kissed like an adolescent!
he probably behaves like an adolescent in many ways.
which is why i was glad when i thought she had chosen not to lay with him in the meadow

from what i can tell he only gets more annoying with each movie!

That burgundy turtleneck did a lot of heavy lifting too. Never talk to a stranger wearing a turtleneck.

a turtleneck with a rather large hole in it
i could handle the turtleneck if he were a completely different person

i mean i don't hate him or anything but he's a dude who takes himself way too seriously, totally lacks self-awareness, and never works on himself. which means he's very real to me even as i'm certain he deserves to get divorced twice for his behavior in the third film

Brad you are back, fuck yeah! <3

Besides the beautiful European locations and the intense chemistry between the two stars and the snappy dialogue and the sexy kissing scenes, my favourite bit was Ethan Hawke’s wardrobe. His first outfit is a simple red turtleneck sweater with stonewash Levi’s 501s, and I liked it so much that it’s probably going to be my go-to for the next six months.

The internet is a wonderland.

Huh, interesting. The book was actually really obviously autobiographical from what I remember but I never had any trouble believing it was written by him. He's clearly a smart well-read guy and it just seemed like the kind of first book someone like him would write. As I said though I read it 20 years ago so for all I know it's actually terrible.

Hawke *is* very good as the tortured minister in the new Schrader film. That and Boyhood are the best he's been in a long time, maybe ever.

i side with ENBB, i dont think I’ve ever fully stopped crushing on him

even when I dont like him & he’s a jerk and a goob i always sorta deep down still like him because he was my ultimate crushworthy go-to for so long

I was trying to think of something that Ethan Hawke smells like & all I got was “toothpaste” O_o
my brain is weird lol

I think he would smell like a hairless cat.

:/

Hey brad :)

That thing where bacteria on puppies' feet makes them smell like Fritos? That's Ethan Hawke's odor.

Puppy frito feet is the best smell!

I have now watched Before Sunset and understand the "I remember that night better than...." comments. It was alright. Jesse/Ethan Hawke was probably at his grossest imo. You guys did a nice job keeping the spoiler from me -- even though I knew that I was wrong about them doing it, that was a major point of the movie (afaict) and it seemed to go exactly where I hoped it wouldn't -- they both fixated for almost a decade on that one night and it interfered with their ability to find happiness or satisfaction elsewhere. They talked about sex a lot. I winced when he pulled her over to the bench and she kept making these uncomfortable faces and then working to hide them (I liked her facial expressions). The way he talked about his wife made me feel depressed for her.

What I thought I liked about the first one was the way it offered the option of encasing the entire experience in amber and then calling it up when you want to think about a good time but not fixating on it as some sort of WHAT IF missed opportunity.

Now I am watching the third one and -- wow. So far, extremely boring. I did like when she said she wound up with an American adolescent. Yeah -- he has always been like that!

also extremely corny of him to write a novel about it
imo

The third one is like taking the helium out of a balloon

haha holy shit Richard Linklater directed this new ad. "If somebody called my wife a dog, and said my daddy was in on the Kennedy assassination, I wouldn't be kissing their ass." https://t.co/dbRZM8RugE

Lol nice

C'mon…Ted

nothing like seeing an extremely old guy permanently slam some weasel's name between the bars of an air quote forever

his wife is going to call him "teeeeehhhhhd" and he's going to see that guy hovering in place of her face, shimmering there in front of the soup vault

I don’t recall ever seeing someone’s name turned into a dismissive insult before my very eyes

Linklater as '80s curator

New one supposed to be out late this summer (bumped from the spring).

a Cate Blanchett mystery...

Yeah. My Mom loved the book. Didn't realize the trailer went out last year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKvOud9GcRQ

it's not really a mystery, unless they changed it a lot. the book is more of a quirky family drama

Exclusive: 'Boyhood' filmmaker Richard Linklater is directing a Sondheim musical that will be shot over the course of 20 years and star @BenSPlatt and @BeanieFeldstein https://t.co/DeCXGcj1XW

he's a little older than me, but i like his odds of finishing it more than mine of seeing it

Jokes on them, there will be no movies except Disney ones in 20 years.

‪ Sources say the film is being shot in reverse chronological order, as the play and musical end when the characters are in their mid-20s and just embarking on their entertainment careers.

Wait is it Merrily We Roll Along? D’oh!

watched BEFORE SUNRISE tonight and was pretty disappointed, having put off watching it for some time just to build anticipation after reading a little about it and figuring it would be my kind of film. I’m usually not the type to dismiss a movie because I “didn’t like” a character, but every time ethan hawke opened his mouth I winced — and it wasn’t only his teeth

I suppose this is how real life is, we’ve all dated people, fucked people we weren’t all that interested in — had aimless conversations we could actually picture enjoying with someone who we vibed a little better with... I did like the listening booth, and the pretend telephone conversation, and the times where she’s roast him for being dumb and adolescent... maybe I’d have liked this a little better if I were 20 when I saw it instead of 30. it was a nice-looking movie, I’ll give it that

Definitely a movie best to experience for the first time somewhere between sophomore year of high school and senior year of college.

Would Before Sunrise Hawke be as hateable without Reality Bites Hawke? (Probably, but maybe not.)

I watched the first two movies at the perfect time in my life to relate to but the third one I couldn't relate to at all. Maybe I'll see it again if/when I get to that point

My Mom loved the book. Didn't realize the trailer went out last year.

Watched this movie on a plane knowing nothing about it except it was Linklater. it was like a Disney channel movie

if you're ever capable of relating to these, that's a worry

Part of Linklater's strategy is to frame Celine's reactions such that "Can you believe this callow fucker?" is never far from her mind. I found Jesse ridiculous at twenty too -- a teleological reason, I guess.

he's supposed to be seen that way, right? (I don't remember this movie well enough anymore.) but I still related to the excitement they both have

in fairness Jesse is a lot less obnoxious than actual American youngsters traveling in europe

Would Before Sunrise Hawke be as hateable without Reality Bites Hawke? (Probably, but maybe not.)

before sunset >>>> sunrise

they’re more interesting as actual adults (jesse, obviously, is still a dumbass)

re: not being able to relate to before midnight, have you ever been in a really terrible fight with someone you know and who knows you really well. alternately have you witnessed one among your married friends
