Members FWAxeIbanez Posted July 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 14, 2006 Originally posted by someones_tired what is it about? Here it is at Amazon You're just gonna have to watch mang... its philosophy but they made up some neat characters to give you something to relate to, and to keep it from being in the hypothetical... saying its about everything and nothing at once would actually be a perfect description I'm not into being mind{censored}ed constantly, so its not like I read up on all this stuff, but once and a while a movie like this is perfect for trying to bend your mind around new things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guidedbyechoes Posted July 14, 2006 Members Share Posted July 14, 2006 I tried watching it, I just ended up saying what the {censored} is this movie trying to do, and then it got turned off and I turned all my attention on a lady friend.

Members danbronson Posted July 14, 2006 Members Share Posted July 14, 2006 I watched it and thought it was kind of dumb. They dress it up to look a lot more 'deep' than it really is. To me it was just a bunch of wasted time, with characters that got irritating after a while.Maybe I just didn't get it though, and need to re-examine it?

Maybe I just didn't get it though, and need to re-examine it? yeah, I know how it can rub the wrong way, it definitely walks down the line between being pretentious and what not... but I dunno, I got a giant kick out of it, you just can't take it completely seriously I guess... its fun to think about sure, but devoting anything more than a casual thought to that kind of thing is a pure waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, don't rent, see if a friend has it or something... I'd feel bad asking someone to spend money on something like this, because you are either gonna love it or hate it, as evidenced by me and sir bronson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretbrner Posted July 14, 2006 Members Share Posted July 14, 2006 I have watched it, but I really thought it was boring. I felt like it was the same movie as the royal tanaembaums. F*ck that movie was boring. It has nothing with getting it. It really tries to be deeper than it is. I think I drank alot beer watching that movie.

I think thats why the pretentiousness didn't bug me... it was intended I don't know, the angle I took from it was "Sure all this stuff sounds interesting, but all in all it really has nothing to do with daily life" Like I said, its fun to wrap your brain around some of the stuff they are talking about, but trying to apply it to daily life is where it loses its pertinence... I still think the cast and crew had a fun time making this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
