4/25/2006 4:58:26 PM

4/25/2006 5:00:42 PM

the actual quote jason said was something like "i just look for oak leaves when im buying movies"

4/25/2006 5:02:10 PM

Is that Criterion or something?

4/25/2006 5:03:07 PM

there's that one hp lovecraft movie that is an official selection of the hp lovecraft film festival

4/25/2006 5:03:18 PM

i've never seen the brown bunny

is that the film with the blow job?

4/25/2006 5:03:49 PM

HEY I HEARD THE SQUID AND THE WHALE IS GOOD

DID U LIKE IT?

GOD ITS SO ORIGINAL AND INVENTIVE

4/25/2006 5:04:50 PM

whats wrong with liking independent films?

4/25/2006 5:08:18 PM

because a lot of them suck

speaking of which; Thumbsucker is not that great.

I bet there's a thread about how great it is, though.

4/25/2006 5:09:26 PM

okay, I promise I didn't even look for this shit til just now, and bam:

http://www.thewolfweb.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=355132

This is EXACTLY what I'm fucking talking about.

Verbatim.

But I do see how a lot of you that regularly post in this section can relate to a whiney, timid little nobody that sucks his thumb.

DESTROY INDEPENDENT CINEMA!!!

4/25/2006 5:16:39 PM

for the record, Squid and the Whale is a great, funny movie. It's not a masterpiece though. It's short, the ending is pretentious, etc etc.

4/25/2006 5:19:19 PM

totally agree, good movie, way too short

and even justin thought the ending was pretentious if that says anything

The first thing I thought was have I never noticed leaves on there before... cause we have been known to look for the little numbers...

4/25/2006 5:20:57 PM

^You look at the numbers, i'm generally looking at the names

i never saw thumbsucker

and "The Squid & the Whale" is the best movie i've ever seen as far as what its like to be a child of divorce

i still don't know what the oak leaves mean

[Edited on April 25, 2006 at 5:22 PM. Reason : so criterions have oak leaves?]

4/25/2006 5:21:16 PM

i checked all three criterions i own
(i almost forgot about chasing amy)
and they ain't got no leaves

so now i really am gonna need this thread spelled out for me

4/25/2006 5:24:43 PM

He's talking about laurels.

4/25/2006 5:24:44 PM

ohhhh

like the things around sundance and cannes and shit like that?

so its just a regular grade troll here, nothing too deep

ok

4/25/2006 5:28:03 PM

^ It's Scrumpz.

I'm ashamed of you for looking beyond that.

4/25/2006 8:36:04 PM

i figured if i played along he'd let me know what an oak leaf is

4/25/2006 9:29:13 PM

Has anyone seen the criterion Young Mr. Lincoln? is it worth buying?

4/25/2006 10:03:56 PM

what was the movie i asked you about a couple weeks ago?

4/25/2006 10:15:02 PM

Metropolitan #326? I think but not sure...
http://criterionco.com/asp/release.asp?id=326

4/25/2006 10:42:01 PM

yeah, thats it

seemed interesting

4/25/2006 11:36:04 PM

thumbsucker wasn't very good, or maybe my expectations were too high from the previews.

and avoid chumscrubbers at all costs

4/25/2006 11:37:36 PM

Thumbsucker had its problems, primarily the pothead story arc, but it was definitely one of the best movies of 2005.

4/25/2006 11:41:33 PM

bwahahahah how in the hell did RoboCop get on this list?!

[Edited on April 25, 2006 at 11:46 PM. Reason : criterion collection #23]

4/25/2006 11:45:55 PM

Robocop >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Armageddon, which is also on the Criterion Collection.

4/25/2006 11:47:34 PM

^Scorcese also likes Michael Bay apparently.

Look, the dude is senile, so I forgive him for slipping on his pretentious fucking list.

His list is only good for one purpose and that's making some of the shit I want to own on DVD ridiculously expensive. He can take most of that fucking list and shove it up his ass, however.

uh, let's see...

Yeah, the Chumscrubber wasn't very good, no...

Are you saying there isn't a class of people who are dictated by such trite things as lists and awards when it comes to shit they want to watch? Clearly you haven't read a single goddamned thread about an independent movie on TWW. Woodfoot strikes me as the type of person influenced by shit like that. OMG IM SUCH A TROLL

I was inspired by seeing SQUID AND THE WHALE pop up so much in certain contexts without having to look for a thread about it or anything...

[Edited on April 25, 2006 at 11:53 PM. Reason : d]

4/25/2006 11:52:47 PM

Not every Criterion DVD is ridiculously expensive. Chasing Amy retails for $15 and Royal Tenenbaums is $20, and I'm sure they're not the only ones.

4/26/2006 12:09:52 AM

I don't want either of those two.

4/26/2006 12:24:02 AM

Then you're a fucking moron.

Salo FTW.

4/26/2006 12:26:51 AM

there is only one person in this thread qualified to talk shit about my movie choices

ps, don't forget "Stick It!" is in theaters this week

4/26/2006 12:35:56 AM

ps, don't forget "Stick It!" is in theaters this week

4/26/2006 12:36:29 AM

omg i'm so indie i like Salo.

and

^^pretentious media whore.

^^(only) you know ert is coming into town friday, we're totally gonna go check it out

[Edited on April 26, 2006 at 12:40 AM. Reason : scrumples probably doesn't know ert]

4/26/2006 12:40:06 AM

Actually, I think Salo is pretty pointless and not worth watching more than once.

I know some people who are in "Stick It", and it has "Josie & the Pussycats"-like potential.

J&tP has a ton of hilarious shit in it that I can't help but love...the whole movie is one continuous product placement gag.

4/26/2006 12:45:55 AM

YOU DONT KNOW VANESSA LENGIES DO YOU

cause if you do...

4/26/2006 12:48:10 AM

No.

I hope this doesn't affect your support for my mod campaign.

for the record, i think most independent movies suck

the only potential independent films that can be decent are usually dramas, because they are more real life so cheap ass budgets dont really hurt them, i also get interested in independent films with big name actors that take cheap roles(ie. sling blade, even though billy bob was not as big as he is now at that time)

comedies or action films just come off too hokey for me, and i'm one that doesnt like cheap acting, cheap graphics, etc.

idk i just never saw the allure of wanting to see an independent film, plus half the people that see them act like snobs or something cause they saw a movie that hardly anyone even knew existed, and i cant stand those people so i'd rather not watch something that gives joy to people i dislike
