Navelgazing, Pretentious indy waffle from a filmmaker i loath. As a film obsessive it kills me to have to turn a film off, i've sat through some truly horrible things but i've never wanted to get out of my seat jump into the tv and beat actors to death with a brick more than when i watched this piece of shit. I only watched it for 25 minutes!!!

"May 2nd I think all the good bits happened in the first half. It lost a lot of it's steam after that. Still, the bits I'm talking about were incredible."

Mack's Movies 2013: April (19 movies items)

" April 23rd: Online streaming, computer Overall opinion: Wonderful The day I watched this happened to be the same day that one of my professors lectured a fellow student on the overuse of theory in a presentation. I thought it was weirdly fitting because, if this movie has any flaws it's that it's got its head in the clouds. It's all talk and no action, so to speak, or very little action. All theory. Personally I was 100% fine with that. I feel like there's a lot lacking in both cinema and t"

Writer/Director: Richard Linklater (6 movies items)

"Somewhat similar to Slacker, this movie is made up of a series of short conversations and encounters. Many of the subject matter pertains to dreaming and the unconscious. Unlike the movie Slacker, we follow a single character (the Dreamer, if you will) for most of the movie. He has a journey of sorts through what is most likely an ongoing dream. As you can see, the movie was overlaid in various artistic styles of roto-scope. Each conversation and setting in the movie looks a little different. "
