garden state

Tuesday January 4th 2005 12:55 AM PST

after dinner tonight (sorry will, the fork and knife ribs are back on the menu) i ran by blockbuster and tried to get Napoleon Dynamite and Garden State. ND was sold out, so i grabbed Garden State. Jen and I both had not seen this movie yet. Now its about 1AM and i'm thinking about watching it again. Jen fell asleep about half way through and i stayed up watching. By the end i was crying. (yup sappy me) But i can't explain how refreshing a NON hollywood movie is. So i've been up for the last few hours listening to the soundtrack.

Frou Frou - Let Go

Drink up baby down 
mmm are you in or are you out 
leave your things behind cause it's all going off without you 
excuse me too busy writing your tragedy 
these mishaps you bubble wrap 
when you've no idea what you're like 
so let go jump in oh well whatcha waiting for 
it's alright cause there's beauty in the breakdown 
so let go just get in oh it's so amazing here 
it's alright cause there's beauty in the breakdown 
it gains the more it gives & it rises with the fall 
[so hand me that remote can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow] 
such boundless pleasure 
we've no time for later now 
you can't await your own arrival 
you've 20 seconds to comply 
so let go

Believe me when I tell you that you aren't missing ANYTHING by not watching ND. I relly don;t understand. At Blockbuster there were two whole sections for this movie alone. And I saw on E! it was the top selling DVD of the Christmas season. So me and some friends rented it. It was the most godawful moive I have ever watched! Nothing was explained, the kid is more than a loser, and there is absolutely NO plot! We actually called up Blockbuster and tried to get our money back, it was that bad! Serisouly the worst movie I have ever seen. If you never want to see 90 munites of your life again, THEN I suggest you rent this.

Hmmm, I saw Napoleon Dynamite at a screening really really early in its theater run. I've got two words.... "Time Machine" I almost pissed myself. I don't think this is wasted time at all. Its required viewing. Its not your normal movie at all. If you're looking for a straight up comedy, this is not for you.

napoleon dynamite ruled. best movie of the year, if it wasn't for team america. i really enjoyed garden state, but i'm not sure if a movie done by a guy on scrubs counts as non-hollywood.
