Just saw Paranoid Park. Pretty good, albeit short. Plot was surprisingly way too simple provided what happened, though. The only reason it seemed complicated was 'cause the scenes were all kind of sort of out of order. The inclusion of Elliott Smith songs certainly gave it a boost.
As with Elephant I'm pretty sure that Gus Van Sant intentionally aspired for a "style over substance," kind of approach, and I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with that. (Most of) the characters were pretty flat, sure, but it was realistically written and shot, and that definitely adds a lot to the audience's empathy. It was a disturbing, wonderful film, and yeah, the soundtrack was great.

I'm also surprised you found it to be uneventful, considering Wild Tigers I Have Known was basically a 60-Minute (although touching) emoative music video.

Well, I'm unfamiliar with Gus Van Sant films. Never said there was anything wrong with style over substance (as far as movies are concerned anyway). I expected something... er... actually, I don't know what I expected, but what it was wasn't it. I never said it was uneventful. Just simple plot-wise.

I'm with Blind on this one.

But you also wear a fedora which gives you 100+ awesome points. And are Asian so that's like 500+.

Wow could you be more of a typical emo kid.

That makes me go :( Legion. Most of my favorite movies are pretty happy! And if you saw me in real life I'm anything but a typical emo kid. I sing Talking Heads in public and wear bright clothes and (believe it or not) TALK with people.

EDIT: Unless you were joking, in which case: teehee.

How much time do you spend on the computer?

On the internet: About an hour or hour and a half a day max.

On an internet-less computer (the one I use to write on): Two or three times the above.

The former I'm kind of wasting my time on, but the latter I only use to listen to music, watch movies (or Scrubs), or write. Usually I browse the interwob while waiting for the tea kettle to whistle, tell myself that I'll get off once I've made my tea, and end up staying on for way way longer than I would like, for no real reason other than boredom and laziness.

It's a good thing my room computer doesn't have internet connection, otherwise I'd never get anything that's in the least bit productive done.

I thought Lost in Translation was annoying, but I watched the entire movie. Is the 'young boy' in Wild Tigers, like, 13 or 15 or...? I'd like to watch it if both are ~16 but the kid looks twelve or something and 'trippy masturbation scenes' with a twelve-year-old, uh... no thanks?

Or really masturbation in movies at all. I am not a fan of sex scenes in movies, but eh.

Your opinion on Lost in Translation is wrong.

The kid is like 12 or 13 I think. And the scene (maybe plural, I forget) is only a few seconds long, most of it being the sexual apparitions he's fantasizing about. Not like anything is shown, either, just a hand moving vigorously under a blanket. In fact, there's really no sex or nude scenes at all.

I'm not doing the movie justice at all. >_> Watch it, dammit!

Is Torino really a 2009 release? I don't see how. If it is, that would make a lot of sense. But I'm pretty sure I saw it last year.


It's kinda tricky... it received a teeny tiny limited release on Christmas, but was released everywhere sometime in January.
