Film Geek (Westby, 2005) F

Wow. What's bad about it?

[EyesWideOpen]

Wow. What's bad about it?

Pretty much everything.

The first 10 minutes or so where it shows him working at a video store & dealing with customers was really the only good part since I've worked at a video store and have dealt with those people but it's downhill once the actual story starts.

The main story is him falling in love with a "hot" girl who treats him like shit (uses him to get back at her ex, doesn't return his calls, and then makes out with her ex in front of him and laughs about it) and then when the "film geek" gets famous at the end of the movie the final part is her suddenly wanting to be with him and he accepts, The End. That's a pretty disgusting message in my opinion.

There were also countless little stupid things like: him geeking out over seeing two girls kiss (pointing, jumping up and down and giggling like a 6 year old) even though he certainly has seen that in films before, he evens mentions Bound earlier in the movie. In one scene the film to show off the "film geek"'s encylopedic knowledge of film he lists off a bunch of French film titles & directors with perfect pronounciation and in a later scene to show his geekiness he doesn't know how to pronounce quesadilla.

It's the case of coming up with a character which might work in a short 10 minute film and then trying to drag it out into a full length picture.

Yes, hence why for me there's no contest between being the dumper and the dumpee. Others were mixed; the obvious was stated.

And you chose to ignore the "accept" in the sentence which renders your example useless. Perhaps some people would have trouble accepting their need to punch a random stranger.

Yeah, I think what's easier is that in one case you're the one making the decision and in the other case the decision is something thrust upon you which you do not desire.

It has only been a few weeks that Japan finished building their first life-size, giant robot (Gundam). Now they are ready to start building their second giant robot, Gigantor, in Kobe.

Okay, I officially don't understand those people who don't understand break-up sex and make-up sex (I use this instead of angry sex). I can only assume they haven't had it, and therefore don't know it's quality.

hold on a minute! i don't think angry sex is the same as make-up sex though. i understand make-up sex.

so really, these things are just cool but pointless monument, right? it can't do anything like walk, talk, joke, fart, or humping megan fox?

[Kurosawa Fan]

DEMPSEY AGAIN!!!! 1-0 USA!!

[Kurosawa Fan]

2-0 U.S.!!! Is anyone besides Shaun and I watching this???

[number8]

I am. Great save just now.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Howard has been unreal.

[Scar]

Missed the beginning because of driving home and finishing my work schedule.

[Ezee E]

Watching as well. Seems bizarre that this was a team that was counted out of everything last week.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Shit. Brilliant shot. Worst possible way to start the second half.

[Raiders]

Another one for Howard. Little lucky on the rebound though.

[number8]

Holy shit, that gave me a heart attack.

[number8]

FUCKING AMAZING.

[Raiders]

That may have uh, been a goal.

[number8]

Yeah, US needs to score another or there will be a lot of bitching on that one.

[Kurosawa Fan]

That may have uh, been a goal.

Yeah, we got away with one there, but judging by the way this second half has looked thus far, it's just a matter of time before they actually put one in that's indisputable.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Howard is a BEAST!

[number8]

There it is.

[Kurosawa Fan]

:cry:

[number8]

Oh, boy.
