Guys I have a small request for you... I'd like to watch a coming of age movie but with people in their late teens early twenties 18-22 or something of the kind. I don't really care if the main protagonist is female or male. Most coming of age movies have younger characters in them and for some reason I'm really wanting to watch something like this. I also do not care if I need subtitles to watch the movie so anything is good! Thanksi thought C.R.A.Z.Y. was alright.
oh yeah, i forgot about this. this is directed by John Krasinski, right? I'm not sure if i give a flying hoobastank what he's got to say but i guess i am interested in a david foster wallace adaptation even though i made it about what 60 pages into infinite jest on my most valiant attempt before succumbing to the thickness in my right hand (i'll do it one day. definitely!). i remember thinking the trailer looked bad. very JOKEY or whatever, in a predictable way. i haven't read the book so i didn't really have any right to expectations but i thought the book was gonna be like a series of interviews with Charlie 'The Black Hole' Sheenya and he makes an appearance as this complete jerk. i don't think it was a complete failure. it was probably just doomed from the start since a film adaptation of dfw fiction kind of contradicts his whole approach.
i'll probably see it soon now that it's out.
