I didn't like Garden State.

[GirlinContempt]

Who's with me?
:P


God damn emos.

[ghostsofgiants]

1. I am not with you.

[GirlinContempt]

2. Thats cause you're one of them

Duh

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Thank you Captain Obvious.

[GirlinContempt]

4. haha that was so clever

5 years ago.

Go cry in your blue room

[ghostsofgiants]

5. Ouch. Very ouch.

[GirlinContempt]

6. You're lucky I haven't put you out to pasture yet

[grace0418]

52. I *am* with primate1

Loved it. LOVED it.

[WCGreen]

7. It was sweet....

I liked that he got off all the crappy drugs....

[GirlinContempt]

8. It was trying too hard.

[WCGreen]

9. I admit it....

It wasn't a great movie....

But it was a pleasent diversion.....

[ghostsofgiants]

10. It was better than most of the crap that passes as comedy film these days.

And it was pretty solid for a directorial debut.

[GirlinContempt]

11. Get a life, emo

[ghostsofgiants]

12. Shouldn't you be hanging out at Hot Topic, gothy mcgee?

[WCGreen]

13. Fuckin A....

That was funny.....

[GirlinContempt]

14. That'd be funny if it resembled truth

(and maybe if we had hot topic in canada)

Connor Oberst is waiting for your tears. Go.

[ghostsofgiants]

16. *hugs his Bright Eyes/Desaparecidos cds*

Conor > YU0

[GirlinContempt]

18. Is that emo code for

salty wash?

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Clearly.

[GirlinContempt]

20. HAH YOU ADMIT IT

I rest my case

[ghostsofgiants]

22. I am what I am.

I'd have photoshopped an emo Popeye here, but I'm too busy crying alone in the dark.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

51. Shouldn't you be off crying somewhere?

Edit: Damn, you beat me to the punchline!

[WCGreen]

15. I didn't walk out of the theater with a dazed look on my face

wondering how I was ever going to get my 2 hours back...

No...

Decent movie.....

[henslee]

46. You are right. It looked, smelled and tasted like an honest movie but

wasn't really. Portman was cute and carried the pic along with nice imagery and a decent soundtrack. But ulitmately, it was a phony piece of garbage that borrowed heavily from The Graduate and some other flicks. At least a film like a Gary Busey action pic does not pretend to be something else.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. I liked it.

Watched it this afternoon on tv.

[GirlinContempt]

35. I wonder

how much they edited it

[billyskank]

21. I'm sure you will be shocked to hear

that I've never heard of them. :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

23. Hahaha, that's quite obvious.

It's a movie, haha.

[billyskank]

25. A new record!

It took me a whole 27 seconds to make an arse of myself! :bounce:

[ghostsofgiants]

26. Haha...

36. *giggle*

[GirlinContempt]

42. I saw

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

24. Yup, I thought is was OK

but it bashed you over the head with its quirkiness...the motorcycle with sidecar, cute girl who's a compusive liar, and "Listen to this: it's The Shins. They'll change your life." You're hip...you're smart...you're troubled...you're sensitive. I get it!

[WCGreen]

27. I thought that was funny...

The Shins thing...

I even posted a thread about what do you do when someone says this is the greatest song it will change your life and you don't get it.... Obviously he didn't get it....

The sidecar thing was a great symbol... That he was willing to only go so far to be out on the edge....

[GirlinContempt]

37. "You're hip...you're smart...you're troubled...you're sensitive. I get it"

EXACTLY. Thank you.

[fleabert]

28. considering my mom is manic depressive, I found the movie to be

wonderful.

[GirlinContempt]

38. Care to elaborate?

I honestly don't see the connection.

[fleabert]

47. the main character was diagnosed as md by his father-

he had been on meds since he was a child- it was difficult for me to see him go off of meds (a dangerous thing to do for anyone with md) but the way it was handled was masterful. I also loved the way their relationship was developed (Braff and Portman's) two oddball's finding each other, and in doing so, finding themselves.

[GirlinContempt]

48. But, he wasn't actually manic depressive

[fleabert]

50. Not necessarily.

I think that is left open ended. He wanted to be off meds for a while to see how he felt, his new psychiatrist thought it was a risk, but also supported the idea that he may have been misdiagnosed. The behavior changes he had after stopping meds could have been early mania, I think it was left open for interpretation.

My interpretation was hopeful that he never needed meds again, and that was difficult for me. It often crosses my mind, esp. when my mom is in psychosis, that maybe if we just stopped all the meds she'd be okay- I really want something to blame besides her broken mind. But then I remember what it was like before the meds.

it was just a poignant look at depression, and growing up, and relationships- at least for me it was. I loved that movie.

[Katherine Brengle]

29. I didn't really like it either, and I love Zach Braff... but I can't sta

nd Natalie Portman, ick. She turned me off of Closer as well, which was a shame bc that was a pretty good flick...

[Science Of Myth]

31. Thats OK

more Natalie for the rest of us :)

[terrya]

30. I was...underwhelmed

I was actually disappointed with "Garden State". Extremely overhyped film.

[GirlinContempt]

39. So many people I knew

were all "OMG GARDEN STATE" for WEEKS. One of my friends went to see it in the theaters 3 or 4 times. I know exactly what you mean.

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. The movie? Or New Jersey?

:shrug: I haven't seen the movie. I am apathetic toward New Jersey. :hi:

[GalleryGod]

34. Tread lightly, here !

[GalleryGod]

33. Sorry. We Loved It.

[Divameow77]

41. I liked it

Can't say I loved it but thought it was pretty good.

[HughBeaumont]

43. Those are the two girls from Star Wars and Scrubs, right?

Too much Generation Why dialogue and not enough whips.

Movies ain't movies without whips and The Trashmen.

[RandomKoolzip]

44. I liked the first half.

Then it became some sort of horrible weepy chick flick for oversensitive males. In fact, the contrast was so jarring it gave me whiplash.

But that first hour was pretty good.

[GirlinContempt]

45. What part of the first hour?

[RevolutionaryActs]

49. I liked it.

Mmm Peter Sarsgaard.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

53. I only heard tell of this

but apparently there was a skit on SNL with Pete Sarsgaard (that's what all his close friends, like me, call him) marketing a product called The Peter Sarsgaard SARS Guard....I laughed my ass off. I know nothing else of this joke but the pun alone is brilliant...in a goofy kind of way.
