so i finally watched 'the virgin suicides' last night

[minxnim]

i'd read the book so many times but never seen the movie. i was impressed, it was really great. the only annoying part was that trip had the worst hair ever and he was supposed to be HOTT but his hair was so bad it was distracting me.

other than that, i really liked it.

yeah! i think this was the movie that made everyone first realise that Sofia Coppola wasn't a total waste of air.

i've never read the book, though. is the mood of the movie captured from the book, or created from whole cloth?

 

[minxnim]

the book and the film were really similar, in tone of voice as well as in story line. i thought it fit really nicely and i think coppola did the most amazing job possible with the book. the book is very vague about some aspects and i think she read into the underlying intention of the book really well.

 

[0sm0se]

I hate both, mainly due to association with that time in my life.

 

[minxnim]

hate is a strong word

 

[0sm0se]

used to describe a strong emotion. It is a most complete and heartfelt hatred, I assure you.

 

[minxnim]

i mean, i've dealt with suicide but i don't blame the movie

 

[xfer]

0sm0se is just remembering that time his mom locked up all his records.

 

[minxnim]

don't make fun alex!

 

[deadair]

alex knows nothing but

 

[xfer]

once my mother "threw me out of the house" which entailed her flinging hundreds of my CDs across the snowy front yard.

 

[xfer]

actually she "threw me out of the house" a lot more than once

 

[AndICried]

yeah! i think this was the movie that made everyone first realise that Sofia Coppola wasn't a total waste of air.
