Wow this poo poo sucks. Not just because of Kevin "The Sex Pest" Spacey but also everything else. If you think about all the stuff you used to like when you were a teen, how big of a percentage just objectively sucks rear end in retrospect? Can we use that to make predictions of the stuff you like now and how much it will suck tomorrow? Is the mythical quality of not-sucking actually attainable, or is it just as illusory as the absurd and obviously fake quality called love? What are our obligations, if any, in the middle of this?

I was really into the movie Willard starring Crispin "Clownly clown clown" Glover as a teenager so I don't know what you're talking about.

The Rotten Tomatoes Critic's Consensus describes the film as "Flawlessly cast and brimming with dark, acid wit, American Beauty is a smart, provocative high point of late '90s mainstream Hollywood film."

I haven't seen it since it was pretty new and I liked it back then. I was into anything subversive and edgy in that late 90s way. I'm glad I haven't watched it again.

Fight Club is a movie I really liked in 1999 but will likely never revisit. Just seems really dumb in retrospect. If it was prophetic, it was only in the worst possible way.

1. The content of the movie is midlife crisis guy smoking pot and lusting after probably a 15 year old. Bravissimo, encore, encore. 2. American Beauty is the only good dead album.

I've never seen American Beauty and only know of it because of the sample used in Bongzilla's song Grim Reefer.

After watching American Beauty I had fun going around telling people the main character dies at the end. They would get angry at me for spoiling it but the very first line in the movie reveals it anyway, so it's actually not a spoiler, gotcha

Kevin Spacey surely could have deflected away the airplane engine that would fall through his roof which killed Donnie Darko, due to his intense physical training he pursued in the attempt to gently caress a high school girl.

TrashMammal posted:wtf kind of poser rear end teenager is into midlife crisis movies (which basically all suck) I saw it when I was a teenager and everyone was making GBS threads on the movie for the floating plastic bag scene. I decided that scene didn't make the movie poo poo, but the depiction of miserable adults having mid-life crisis was mostly fishing for an audience that could relate, and I couldn't. Half a lifetime later? I'd probably criticize it even more for the depiction of Americans living in nice homes, still unable to be content for the dumbest, most Hollywood of reasons.

I'd criticise it for trying normalise middle aged dudes wanting to bang teenagers. And trying to tell us all just how HARD it is to be a middle aged wealthy man in the 90s. Sometimes you are somewhat tired of the music your wife plays at dinner!

Reminds me I've got shower curtains that hang on the inside of the tub and after a few minutes I'll yell at it to stop Kevin Spaceying me when it inevitably shifts against me from the hot air.

I recently watched it on the big screen, and it still owns. Plus you get to remember that idiots took the movie at face value that getting punched in the face is what it takes to be a man.
