The Wackness

[mere1975]

Not exactly how I remember 1994, but Sam and I saw a preview of The Wackness and it was a nice little movie!

I didn't think much of Ben Kingsley either way before, but now I like him.

- Mere "kind of like an NYC hip-hop-soundtrack version of 'Wonder Boys' without the symbolism?" 1975

i saw it at afi a few months ago. it was kind of weird because it was a "surprise" screening, so no one knew anything about the movie going in to it. i liked it bunches, even more as time goes on. ben kingsley totally made that movie.

[monet2u]

looks pretty good. might indeed check it out.

Plus, it may be the only movie ever made to include Craig Mack in the soundtrack.

I thought for a second that the song was released after the summer of 94. I should have gone with my gut because it didn't come out until September. The movie is set from June to August.

Holy crap. That's the fat kid from Drake & Josh!

Reminds me of Kids if Telly and Casper had a little more guidance. Looks good.

That comes up in the movie. . .

Kid: "I'm depressed."
Psychiatrist: "Because of Kurt Cobain?"

- Mere "and there is graffiti about Kurt too" 1975

zzzzzzzzzzzzz. fallen asleep every time i've tried. granted, i was being forced to watch it back in high school, so i'd probably like it now (or at least be able to make it through), but ZZZZZZ!

and john gielgud is a lot of the reason why shakespeare is completely inaccessible to a modern audience. back in the day, he was groundbreaking, but too many people today try to copy him and it just comes out all lofty and with drawn-out vowels and singsongy. not his fault, though, i suppose. but he drives me nuts.
