I laughed I cried I watched 32 seconds of it because YouTube Videos never buffer right for me.

I hate "teen drama" movies... I'll go research this and see if it is... If it is, oh well then, I guess I won't see it.

It made me cry... I loved it when they were tripping at the carnival and it just freaked the hell outta me. Oh to live in the 60's...

I hate that movie. There are seriously two decent covers in it and two decent scenes.


Rather than watch the whole movie go on youtube and watch the I Want You sequence and the Carnival sequence. You'll have seen everything worth watching about it.



The movie really is visually stunning. Absolutely gorgeous, but it's lame as hell. Absolutely hollow. The story is old and cliched BLAH BLHA BLAH pretentious crap goes here. The movies another Chronicles of Narnia to me. Looks fine but without any substance.

The movie was great, shitty, boring, interesting, stupid and it made me think.

All in all it wasn't too good in my opinion. By FAR too long and mostly boring. The beginning and the ending were great, really awesome I mean. The part in between was boring, very boring. The drug scenes were really stupid but interesting, then, the scenes where the chinky is away were weird. She suddenly is there again because she was working in a circus or something I don't get that at all. Then she just leaves the circus and what about her black eye when she comes into the house, she didn't have that when she was in a cheerleader dress or hitchhiking.

weird movie.

ok

ps: its not a teen drama at all. yeah there are some elements of teen drama, like one of the main characters' boyfriends getting killed in war, but the whole movie isnt a teen drama. in fact it spans over a couple of years i think

ok i saw it. it's not teen drama.

but it's still very VERY VERY boring. even the music scenes, because they're not even...real scenes, it's just one of the main characters singing for music accompaniment. no real thought behind most of the scenes, the drug parts weren't impressive or influential

i only liked the anti-war pieces
"I want you so bad"
"strawberry fields"
and that one where max is in the hospital

plus max and jude didn't get to snog each other and that angered me

personally i'd be more annoyed by the beatles music than the teen drama
60's culture makes me sick

Post by: Michelle on March 15, 2008 07:50 PM
exactly

my friend couldn't get enough of the whole 60's thing
"SEE, NOTHING'S LIKE THAT ANYMORE, i wish it was still like the 60's people gave a shit"

i'm just like, ew why does she eat this shit up ALL the time

Beatles - Logically speaking the most influential rock band of all time. OK maybe not, but all things considered they pioneered almost of the mainstream musical techniques used now.


I hate about 70% of their songs, but there are some I absolutely love, generally the ones written by George Harrison. They were much more experimental and focused less of just generating popularity. Bigges than Jesus. Pfft.

i think we're all in agreement that the scene with Uncle Sam and the soldiers being recruited was the best part of the film. yes?
