i read at one time that Linklater, once he had the movie cast, got all the actors togehter and made them live and basically hang out for like a month together before shooting Dazed ....

I mean, EVERY single character was fucking picked perfect and had some of their best roles of their career in it.

Fucking Adam Goldberg ... genius ... I JUST WANNA DANCE !!!!
never topped that role.

did not know that, makes a lot of sense. i truly bond with that movie whenever i watch it, i'm always sad when it ends because i think "no no! let's see what happens tomorrow!" haha

i still haven't; seen My Name is Earl, will probably wait for the DVDs. i assumed it'd be shortlived because it actually looked good, is it still on?

 

[lurch70]

Jason Lee is a hack ... he never made ONE movie where you can at least say he sucks or he is brilliant ... totally blends into the background ... zero personality.

 

[NAD]

actually that one is a pretty lame movie, but very much a guilty pleasure of mine.

 

[dorian gray]

^YES! i tried to watch that one time! are we the only two people who have?

You're so wrong I'm going to send a shit missle right at you! [/mad]

He fucking rules in Almost Famous, too. And My Name Is Earl is the best comedy on TV (with AD being cancelled).

ditto ...

going down the emo route ... the only other movies that Linlater made that are in the same league of brilliance is the Before Sunrise/Before Sunset flicks ... fucking genius those two.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

@dorian: oh yeah, that movie you're talking about is "Butterfly Effect."

And the fat guy (Randy is his name as Earl's brother, btw) also had a bit part in Mallrats! He's the guy who can't see the hidden image of the schooner/sailboat, lolz.

"Ah ha, you dumb fuck. A schooner IS a sailboat."

 

[lurch70]

He fucking rules in Almost Famous, too.

fuck me ... I did not even remember him in there ... that movie was such a Critic's darling ... but ultimately a snoozer.

 

[NAD]

yeah Almost Famous should've been cool. i mean whatshertits was in it, showing her whatsits, so that was cool. and i liked Jason Lee and the "golden god" dude, but it was pretty boring overall.

and LOLZ at "i tried watching that once" hahahhaa i rarely make it through that one.

Dude, I don't even know what to say here. Your tastes have plummeted below even NAD's in less than 45 minutes. It's incredible.

[NAD]

[MadeInNewJersey]

I love both of you [/gayway]

But your tastes stink.

Mallrats > YUO BOTH!

 

[lurch70]

BAD LIEUTENANT
