Youth In Revolt. A good movie to watch when you're drunk or in a really giddy mood and just about will laugh at anything. Otherwise file it under "another outlandish teenage sexual coming of age tale".

This weekend I saw:
The Last Picture Show (1971)

Makes you wish you lived there, doesn't it?

How so? Compared to a film on a similiar theme Diner (1982), it wasn't particularly nostalgic or made it particularly pleasant (though it was homely). Though it did portray that world very well.

Sarcasm doesn't come off very well online. Smiley

Re: Whip It, really you guys? I really wanted to like it but I thought it was kind of boring. It does present a fascinating world, though.

It was ok, the visual effects were the best part, not surprisingly. After seeing a couple 3-d movies I think I'm starting see in 3-d... like, the frames in the forum text box I'm typing in now seem all deep and everything... but maybe it's just an aneurysm. Smiley Ok I really shouldn't joke about that.

I appreciated it, but it's not something you want to watch over again. It seemed after awhile that the main thing is not that he lost his bicycle or even his job but that he has lost face in front of his son.

Italy in the 1940s makes the economic troubles of America today seem very minor indeed.

Well that and more importantly that his family could very well end up starving to death.

People starved to death in late 1940s Italy? The beginning of the movie implied there were lots of unemployed people who got welfare, they went hungry but did not starve to death.

I'm sure some people did. Perhaps in this case it is hyperbole but this is the case that he makes to his son at dinner in the movie (if I'm remembering correctly).

I thought he was making the case that they would be able to eat well if they had money, but not that they would starve to death if they didn't. Oh well, the translation wasn't very good.

The first in a long line of Tracy Hepburn collaborations.

Yeah, I liked it.  I remember liking Stagecoach a little more when I watched it several years ago  I think the designers of Red Dead Redemption watched a lot of John Ford movies.

Yes, I liked Stagecoach as well, that one is also known as being John Wayne's leap from obscurity.

Salt reminds me of an underappreciated 1987 film...

The Social Network

Yep, as good as it was said. Sorkin and Fincher actually made the story fantastic. And while Zuckerberg came across as an asshole, I was rooting for him over the twins because they appeared to be bigger assholes. But the bit with his best friend...that was brutal.

As soon as I heard how he was negatively portrayed, I knew I couldn't enjoy it. It hits too close to home for me. Maybe I'll see it when it comes out on video.

Battle of Algiers (1966)

I had to watch Avatar again because it was my friend's birthday party and he had never seen it and wanted to watch it. The vulgar sentimentality, going-native tropishness and indigenous fetishization was more noticeable to me than ever.

Love Object (2004). Horrendous, but I enjoyed the downbeat ending.
