Just back from seeing Garden State - GoFuckYourself.com

Sarah_Jayne · 01-15-2005, 01:13 PM

and I rather liked it. Some bits of it were a bit to close to home for me lately but I went into the film knowing very little about it and ended up thinking it was a very sweet film but not so sweet my teeth hurt.

I suspect it is in the way of films like Lost In Translation in that not everyone will like the style but i did...so 3 stars out of 4 from me. Lost a star because it was a bit self aware at times but I can overlook that for the number of positives in the rest of the film.

Will have to check it out.

swoop · 01-15-2005, 01:20 PM

Will have to rent that on DVD...thanks for the reminder

rebel23 · 01-15-2005, 01:21 PM

it's a good screenplay & a good movie
if you like that kinda thing ....

warlock5 · 01-15-2005, 02:16 PM

It was a good movie, but there was only one reason I saw it ;)

Peaches · 01-15-2005, 02:25 PM

I have it here from Netflix and since you and I usually like the same flicks, tonight it will be Garden State

you have a crush on the guy from Scrubs? ;)

iBanker · 01-15-2005, 02:33 PM

My girlfriend made me watch that awful movie. I would rather chew my arm off than watch that again.

TheGoldenChild · 01-15-2005, 02:33 PM

great flick- as a neurotic Jew who grew up back east and lives out in Cali it hit too close to home...

Throw in the fact that I have been on TV nationally and it's the first thing I get when I come " I saw you on tv"

(Granted I don't play a retard in my tv appearances)
at least I don't intend to
:-))

yeah, like I said, I figured it is one of those you either like or don't. I bet you didn't like Lost In Translation, huh?

lol yup, same kind of story telling device so it figured

nojob · 01-15-2005, 02:51 PM

Another movie I will pass on.

KCat · 01-15-2005, 06:47 PM

I loved it, but I'm a bit biased. I adore Natalie Portman.

Peaches · 01-15-2005, 09:04 PM

OK, watched it tonight. I liked it, but didn't love it. I did think it was very clever in many of the "jokes" and literally LOL several times

4 stars

pxxx · 01-15-2005, 09:09 PM

I want to go see coach carter.

paxton · 01-15-2005, 09:22 PM

Just watched the DVD of this one. Great flick. Reminded me a lot of Good Will Hunting. Excellent soundtrack and Zach mixed it in with the various themes brilliantly.

This was a breath of fresh air. Funny, yet sad at times, but leaves you full of promise.

SykkBoy · 01-15-2005, 09:36 PM

I thought Lost In Transalation was overrated, but really liked Garden State...

AVM · 01-15-2005, 09:54 PM

I loved Garden State, and consider it my favorite movie of 2004....
however, I hated Lost in Translation.

I think you're completely coming out of left field with that comparison.

Pornwolf · 01-15-2005, 10:23 PM

I thought Lost In Translation was so severely overrated it was sickening. But, when you have Coppola in your name great things happen even when they aren't warrented. I'm a huge Bill Murray fan and I think the girl is the hottest in Hollywood, but even that couldn't save the incomplete dialogue and lackluster script.

Xplicit · 01-15-2005, 11:35 PM

It was boring as hell. Chick flick.

well glad I didn't fall totally flat on the suggestion

The knight outfit was one of the unexpected images I have seen on the screen in a while and certainly got us loling.
