High Fidelity: Classic Or Dud?

untruth: record store clerks who listen to a lot of doug yule velvet underground and hallucinate conversations w/bruce springsteen rarely get tail from rich hot lawyer chicks who bankroll their record obsessions

The only thing that's even more dud than the High Fidelity franchise are people who feel compelled to ask "have you seen High Fidelity?" once they learn that I have more than ten records.

Ain't that the fuckin' truth.

true, the blogger top gun has yet to come. but it will.

buscemi's fine, but he's a little too laid back. he doesn't seem really obsessive, which cusack doesn't either but daniel stern does.

my favorite movie record geek is still daniel stern in diner. his fight with ellen barkin is so great. "you never ask me what the b-side is!"
"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!"

Put simply, Cusack rocks in *everything* - how could you possibly be a doubter?

first saw in theater - that was really good, funny, bittersweet
see now on cable - he is so pathetic, sad, kind of a dick, WTF worst marriage proposal ever

Grifters: C er D?

This movie made me way fucking self-conscious about my underwear choices. I never knew men had these judgements of women's underwear!

This movie was boring and irritating and full of jerks by the way! If there was one excellent thing about Juno, it is that it shows these type of mangs to just be frustrating as hell, and crepey!

That said, right now if a dude my age told me he was way into the Doobie Brothers, I would kind of swoon.

Totally, but I think giving him all those flaws makes him more relatable and more real (maybe just to commitment-phobic record geeks like myself?).

lol

Hmm -
Why should I say it when the character does - literally - looking straight into the camera ? Millinials can’t be that dumb :) https://t.co/gizPBpM6nu

Bless us

lol

Fuck twitter confuses me. To what was Hoos referring with his "get John Cusack to say the same" ref there? That comment seems to have to hop across 3 or 4 seperate conversations.

click thru

basically that HiFi Rob is a self-absorbed twit

Yeah, but Cusak is right. It’s obvious in the movie, so it would be pointless for him to have to say it.

damn hoos got pwned

One key shot in the movie is the final one involving Lili Taylor

yo is it true hoos got sonned by a Cusack after a movie beef?

My boy john

Yet every other ilxor rants about what a misogynist rob was

🙄

i was unaware there's a TV series planned, w/ a female lead

https://www.indiewire.com/2018/04/john-cusack-high-fidelity-remake-1201950107/

heres hoping its as good as ghostbusters!

Ghostbusters is a classic bro

classic moneymaking elephantine crap

how do you write that article and not even acknowledge that zoe kravitz’s mother was in the first screen adaptation of high fidelity

I'm assuming they didn't even bother to read the Wikipedia

The lack of anyone in the record store who looks like Moby is promising

How she can afford to pay herself and her two employees while keeping that store open and making rent on a pretty spacious place in Crown Heights or some shit is the true magic of this show.

TV logic i spose

if it's Brooklyn obv she's a trust funder eg Lenny Kravitz's daughter

Can’t wait for the Christmas episode where he comes to visit then!

lol at listening to vinyl in order to make you playlists on spotify
