He says, "To have millions of people go, 'I watched your movie and related' was the ultimate affirmation that I'm not a freak."

How out of touch with the world around you do you have to be to think that mild depression would make you a freak?

Mild depression is a blessing, 'round my social circles. Mr. Braff, have you ever gone days without bathing or getting out of bed? No? Then you're fine. Shut up.

He doesn't play the image game! That's why he's so inconsistent and we can't stereotype him, because he doesn't have a well-tuned image.

Ok, maybe I'm just a sucker for singing and dancing, but the Scrubs musical was pretty cute.

1.
- voice-over introduces episode's thematic topic ("in a hospital you depend on your coworkers" / "in New York we like men and shoes")
- scenes establish each character's activities

2.
- conflicts arise in each storyline
- voice-over points out thematic questions uniting them all ("sometimes you realize your friends aren't there for you ... or your relationship isn't as strong as you thought" / "I couldn't help but wonder ... were men the new shoes?")

3.
- conflicts resolve
- voice-over unites all resolutions under one banner ("maybe the person you least expect is looking out for you ... or maybe you realize your girlfriend cares about you more than you thought" / "but it was summer in New York, and I had some fabulous shoes")

-- which, as above, is lame, but if you're the sort of person who can enjoy watching a Sex and the City episode and betting on whether Carrie will say "I couldn't help but wonder," "I had to ask," or "OTHER," then you can probably forgive the rigid blocks in there and just wait for Donald Faison to be awesome again.

wiki says

Braff dated Bonnie Somerville around the same time he worked on Garden State. He specifically requested a song from her for the film's soundtrack. Braff started dating pop singer and actress Mandy Moore in the summer of 2004. One of their first public sightings as a couple was when they arrived together at a fundraising event for the Democratic Party prior to the November 2004 election. In early 2006, unnamed sources told In Touch Weekly magazine that the couple were engaged.[17] Braff called this a "total Internet rumor." Moore's representative denied the engagement.[18] Mandy Moore's song "Looking Forward to Looking Back" is rumored to be about Braff. In response to tabloids now linking him to singer Jessica Simpson, he joked: "I wish I was leading a fraction of the life that the tabloids have me leading!"[1] In June 2007, he began dating actress Shiri Appleby.

Leave Zach Braff alone!

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 4 August 2011 16:55 (twelve years ago) link

i thought the ny mag guy's response was weak, and showed a guy getting beat in the exact way the original letter had accused him of being off, until the PS. which i guess was the point.

Jeff, hey Jeff, Zach Braff started a Kickstarter to fund a sequel to Garden State.

6 years later, I still hate Zach Braff. More than ever.

He doesn't even sound apologetic about it!!! What a dick.

carl agatha, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 22:41 (ten years ago) link

A friend just bragged that he pledged $175 toward the new movie. Not knowing how to respond, I closed the IM conversation.

Millsner, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 23:58 (ten years ago) link

I never realized he assaulted a kid! I remember reading that all of the women who worked with him on Scrubs hated him because he was a harassing sleaze, though.

tbf, if someone was spray-painting my new car, I'd probably go after them and get punchy (if it was dark enough he didn't know it was a 12-year old, esp.)

gross, he's already well over halfway to his $2mil goal only a few hours into the campaign.

carl agatha, Thursday, 25 April 2013 12:47 (ten years ago) link

There should be a requirement that before you donate to this fundraiser, you have to, totally sober and without distraction, sit down and watch Garden State again. I bet donations would drop by two-thirds as people shake off the fog of youthful nostalgia and realize what a trite piece of garbage that movie actually is.

carl agatha, Thursday, 25 April 2013 12:48 (ten years ago) link

Zach Braff and Michael Cera need to team up for a movie, I'd throw in some bucks for that

Spectrum, Thursday, 25 April 2013 13:13 (ten years ago) link

actually I'd like to see a movie with Zach Braff, Michael Cera, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Page, Joseph Grodin-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel, and maybe Andy Samberg for comic relief. it'd like the 21st century's answer to the Rat Pack. soundtrack by Pomplamoose and the Apple iPad/Toyota Prius Players.

We get to imprison them on the film set, right? Some kind of Huis Clos retributive justice?

Saw Wish I Was Here. Means well, often unbearable--and I like Garden State, for the most part.

clemenza, Friday, 29 August 2014 12:30 (nine years ago) link

this just came and went eh

socki (s1ocki), Friday, 29 August 2014 12:50 (nine years ago) link

Not even sure if it got an opening here--I saw it a rep house. The losing-a-parent stuff is sometimes valid, but always manipulative--though Kate Hudson has a good scene alone with Mandy Patinkin. The opening scene, with the kids and the "swear jar," is unbelievably bad. There's a great, famous song buried somewhere in the background at some point...and I've already forgotten what it was.

clemenza, Friday, 29 August 2014 13:29 (nine years ago) link

Not that many will care, but Wish I Was Here is a grammatical atrocity.

Aimless, Friday, 29 August 2014 15:49 (nine years ago) link

showing this this weekend. know there's no nobility in trashing whiteboy "indie" movies no one's rly gonna see but every time i run the trailer it makes me wanna vom.
