This movie exists in my mind as a stoner, alternate reality version of Chinatown. Everything that is pristine and perfect in Chinatown is shabby and sloppy here; ideas that are expressed so deeply in Chinatown they're hard to articulate can be summed up as a burp for this movie. Otherwise they're exactly the same…

Christ, I hate it when people express their opinions and others who disagree with them call them trolls. You're a fucking troll if you call people trolls for writing what they think, know what I mean?

Darjeeling was his worst for me, and had a few misogynistic touches that really rubbed me the wrong way. MK was second: sure, it was twee and cute as a motherfucker, but even within the stilted world of Anderson it came off as totally contrived. I didn't buy any of the characters for a second and the whole thing…

Thank you for pointing this out. I lived in Amsterdam when the record came out, loved the shit out of it, then bought it when I came home to the states and thought I'd just smoked too much weed.

Disclosure has revived the 2-step/Uk garage sound, not disco.

Agreed. Hope and jokes work 100%, as do the majority of slant rhymes, oftentimes better than direct rhymes (which can come off as too cheeky).

Right there with you. After the puppet opera from Sarah Marshall, the Muppet folks got a little too excited about Jason Segal and gave him carte blanch. Unfortunately, it went to his head and he made a movie about himself (in both human and puppet form) that forgot it was supposed to be about the Muppets.

You don't know mellow gold? Your number 1 is correct, but Mellow Gold is 2, with Odely at 3.

Same thing was true of Sea Change. It's like later Tom Petty, mid-tempo, boring-ass vanilla lameness.

Midnite Vultures is Beck's high water mark, easy.

Somebody let me know when he makes Midnight Vultures pt. 2, that's the Beck I'm waiting for.*

It's not just that it's distracting, it's that it doesn't seem real. I have a four-year-old daughter who articulates concepts and sentences far more complex that what's here. Her writing comes off more "mentally challenged" or "alien visiting earth" than "child."

Even then, though, it's unnecessary. If you write your character's dialogue well, you don't need goofy spellings and punctuations to make their voices come through.

Are there events besides ice skating/dancing? I've watched five hours and all I saw were 50 different people doing the same five ice dancing moves to the same three drab songs.

The little girl saying that is the most moving part of the film. It's like, I have not idea what the fuck is going on, but that freaky little chick seriously sells the shit out of it.

Plus, Paul has near god-like powers at that point, so I never believe that Sting has any chance of winning. He has the strong chance of looking like a hairless chihuahua, but not of winning.

Buttfucking little boys.

Did you say that when Michael Jackson is doing his thing you're "sucked in"?

Because he was Anjelica Huston's man, and she was in the fucking movie.

It's showing at Disneyland RIGHT NOW, fools.
