Really? 'Cause that's what all my high school friends who went to Iraq told me.

"How does the whole Criterion thing happen?"

Agreed. I think I would have been a lot less spiteful toward "Tiny Furniture" if I weren't from a working class background. But being myself a recent film-school grad in backwoods New Hampshire where nothing at all is going on, watching this movie raised a lot of very high school "I hate the rich and popular kids"

The difference between Dunham and those other filmmakers you mentioned (along with Noah Baumbach) is that they have the good sense to make their characters self-aware narcassists instead of just self-pitying. And lest we forget, Stillman's "Metropolitan" is really a love letter to the working class, despite its

Which was my favorite part about the series. A show about raising children that essentially wrote the kids out by the end of season one. Classic!

I like the idea of somebody stalking the entire band ZZ Top.That is a thing that amuses me.

I swear to god I will cut the first person who says Old Navy!

I thought, and continue to think, that the use of "Where Is My Mind?" was just a little bit too on the nose, if you get what I mean. Other than that I completely agree.

Exactly, Craig, exactly, but so many people would rather just sit on the surface and declare, "This is bad because it makes me feel uncomfortable" rather than actually think about what that says about themselves. Hey, maybe Bad Timing is one for the cult canon?

And this, people, is why mainstream film criticism is trash.

I always wondered how people who got offended by Observe And Report's "rape" scene would react to something like, say, Bad Timing or Salo. Now there's an internet thread that I never want to read!

Polanski is probably thinking of children right now.

Damn, I'm a jerk when I'm awake early in the morning.

Duh.

English? I think you mean American!

Have you tried Crocodiles yet? They're the closest I've heard.

I want to take that comment out behind the middle school and get it pregnant.

Either don't hit anyone, or hit EVERYONE.

What do you mean we would have one? We have three.
