iloveboxcars Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 i went to a pre-screening of eagle vs shark. it was ok. not hilarious and not terrible. the end wasnt really funny for me. i know they were going for that shock humor, so its possible you will find it funny but it sort of killed the entire movie for me.

earl broclo ESQ Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 yeah, i've only seen the trailer, and the humor looks pretty dry, which i'm a fan of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGOE1 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Here's my major problem with movies like JUNO and other similar films: They are not-indie films made to appear like they are indie films. It started with Garden State, and I would say the Darjeeling Limited did it too. These films are pulling out all the stops to make themselves appear "indie," "arty," etc. A few examples: -They all use a sans-serif typeface, often all lower-case for the opening credits, posters, etc. -The hand-drawn "charming" lettering of the title in Juno is another perfect example of what i'm talking about. The little straight letters with a 3d is so watered-down and over-tired it makes me sick. -And then there's the music!! There's a Belle & Sebastian song in Juno? No Fucking Way?? I mean, big ups to the band, long-time favorite of mine, but give me a break. After Garden State, i could have placed a blind bet that Belle & Sebastian, or fuckin Feist would have a song in Juno... It was a guarantee. Juno, and similar movies, are major productions which are "disguising" themselves as Indie film to build their sales. That is one fucked marketing campaign. They use this "look" to lure naive indie fans, while giving more mainstream fans a "unique" movie experience which is totally fake and superficial. It's not like i'm arguing for more blockbuster bullshit, at all. Down with Garden State, down with Juno. BIG UPS Bottle Rocket!! word son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 um, if you're going out of your way to see a movie solely because its an indie film you're a total faggot. go see a movie because it looks amusing. i thought juno was decent. i would have liked to watch it with a broad and got laid afterwards, but alas...

Lesbian Fisting Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I liked Juno. Ellen Page is a babe. Soundtrack was good too, not good as in I jerk off to all the songs, but it fit the movie perfect. And Ellen Page is a babe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Placement Only Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 i dont know if this was mentioned, or even deserves its own thread, but i just watched Rocket Science. and for some reason i think its on the same wavelength if not nerdier, than Juno. imdb that shit.

Harpo Marx Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The movie wasn't bad. I'm sort of with Mount Holyoke on just being burnt out on the 'indie' aesthetic. I don't think it was totally necessary for Juno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnoone Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 did you just say that the darjeeling limited was given that indie "look" but its not real indy, and that we should fuck that shit and watch bottle rocket instead? my hipster trivial pursuit might be out of date, but arent they directed by the same guy? and all of his films have a similar visual aesthetic? wouldnt that be more of a contributing factor to the look of the movie. is he supposed to change his vision because of where the moneys coming from? i mean i thought darjeeling lmtd. was a disjointed piece of shit personally, but as far as the look goes,, ahh who cares fuck.

Harpo Marx Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yes they are indeed both directed by Wes Anderson who uses the same typeface in all of his movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
