They do, but usually they just shrug and add "But thankfully we don't need to."

Holy shit, he's an orphan? I had no idea.

No one complains about Dazed And Confused or the Before-trilogy though. People usually complain about the whiteness of Boyhood which is NOT about Linklater's life and as much as I love the film, they've got a point.

Lots and lots of googling. The trick is to add "alternative poster" or "minimalist poster" to the title. And a few I found at DeviantArt.

It's like he missed every single remark Midnighter made in Grayson's comic.

Glad to hear that. I'm always in favor of Zac Efron being taken seriously.

Maybe it helps that English is not my first language, my pronunciation would be a lot worse.

I completely agree. Woody Allen going full Spike Lee would be really cringeworthy.
I think the point is: If you're only doing films about your own very limited worldview, they should be at least as good as a Linklater or an Allen. Impress me, and I'm willing to overlook the lack of representation.
And that works both…

Somehow I always forget about Bernie when I think of Linklater-movies, I don't even know why.

Be honest, are you really interested in the Top 20 lists of some random stranger on the internet? You can find it here: http://thefabone.livejourna… It's a few months old now and I already would change it.

Yeah, it's basically two people's stories - Manson's and Tate's - over twelve episodes. It was a bit exhausting. The other arcs told a dozen people's stories who were linked by the politics of their time, I really prefer that approach.

"That is such a pleasant voice" is pretty much the first thing I thought when I was introduced to this podcast.

Yeah, but at least with the Before-trilogy, we got an examination of a straight white relationship from both gender sides, and spending three films with just two characters really helped making them well-rounded and three-dimensional. I learned something about different viewpoints, and I found something to connect to…

Yeah, I love and connect to the films of Linklater, or Noah Baumbach and Woody Allen, but I'm still aware that they represent a rather limited worldview, and it's not even my world. But their best work is great enough to excuse that.

As someone who loves Boyhood and has never been to Texas and knows it only from pop culture, I still think rural Texas has to be more like Friday Night Lights than Linklater.

I don't know if I wasn't in the right mood for it, but I couldn't care less about yet another examination of straight masculinity. I could see that the film was well-done, but nothing in it was of any interest for me.

I like the sequels as well, but my favorite will always be Before Sunrise because I'm still a romantic teenager at heart. In fact I recently made a list of my twenty most favorite movies ever, and it ended up in second place overall.

My blind spot is the Orson Welles movie. But I already own it and do intend to watch it, I just haven't gotten to it yet.

The Manson-episodes are the popular ones in this post-Serial world (and very well done), but I actually prefer all those random one-offs. This is one of my favorite pocasts, and when I discovered it I burned through the first sixty episodes in less than a month.

That's the first one I heard, and it's also the one that hooked me. I also immediately listened to to the whole Sinatra-album afterwards.
