SLACKER

teresa papsmear pusher ftw

Teresa is great, but the winner is clearly the "You must quit you must you must you MUST quit terrorizing women with sexual intercourse. I should know. I'm a doctor. Quit you must quit you must you.. must.. QUIT..." woman...

..which one is she in the above list?

GOOOD POLE

whiney are you hott and could i get with you if you were ghay?

"I hate shit like that.. all that nature. The sunlight is so oppressive these days."

btw, this is fucking impossible.

"you must quit" lady is "traumatized yacht owner," as in "i should know. i'm a medical doctor. i have a mansion and a yacht."

guy in photo "see, i prefer them like this, not like yours"

toss-up between post-modern paul revere and traumatized yacht owner

I think Buck 65 or someone samples Old Man

Every single commodity you produce is a piece of your own death!

Some trivia from imdb.com

* Was the movie that directly inspired Kevin Smith to become a filmmaker; inspired the movie Clerks. (1994).

[Clerks is like the Papa Smurf/Scooby Doo bit for 90 minutes]

* The Happy-Go-Lucky Guy that gets ripped off by the newspaper machine is lead vocalist, musician and founding member of Poi Dog Pondering. The tune that he whistles after he passes the Sidewalk Psychic is "Postcard From a Dream (Toast and Jelly)" from their first studio album, recorded in Austin. The woman that claims to have change but doesn't give it to him is Abra Moore, though she had left Poi Dog by then.

Lauren, thanks! Voted for Traumatized Yacht Owner.

Louis Mackey, Old Anarchist

"Just look at that shit. I've always dreamed of pulling a Guy Fawkes on the Texas Legislature. Just blow the damn thing sky high. I've got maps in my room and I'll do it some day. Texas is so full of these so-called modern-day libertarians... with all their goddamn selfish individualism. Just the opposite of real anarchism. They don't give a damn about improving the world."

Voted for Old Anarchist

POST MODERN PAUL REVERE

Trying to find transcript of his part. So the best.

I may have to login under a sockpuppet to vote for S-T-E-V-E with a van though.

The most realistic character.

honestly though im gonna vote tosses camera off cliff because the last couple mins of this are so sublime

The guy driving around shouting crazy shit out the loudspeakers right at the very end!

line by line Slacker transcript: http://www.cswap.com/1991/Slacker

Isn't that guy Alex Jones? He's a nutcake and a half (also: Linklater is something of a 9/11 Truther, I hear)

last 5 mins (incl pomo paul): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnBNT53WqXA

I saw this film twice, own the published screenplay and remember maybe 4 of these.

otm

you should
you should never

I don't hate on any Linklater really, but Slacker is so above and beyond better than anything he did after.

this is maybe my favorite movie ever

modern day paul revere, even though i know there's a million better ones he's always the first one to come to mind

I like the girl who made a driveway sculpture representing her menstrual cycle and has a deck of oblique strategies ... (Having a Breakthrough Day?)

and the guy with all the TVs

oh I guess it's Teacup Sculptor in the background, Breakthrough Day tells the passerby what it is she's making or something

"She's probably gonna fuck a lot of other guys- "

"She's off to a good start."

"-she's not gonna fuck 'em in this tent."

guy w/ all the tvs

conspiracy a go go author

also re waking life, i thought it was pretty drab the first time i watched it and pretty much loved it the second and third times.

xpost:

isn't that been on the moon since the '50s?

xpost - yeah she was one of the drummers. She was in Beme Seed too, right?

gr8080, that's "Been on the Moon Since the 50's "

this would be a good repository of new screen names

call me Handstamping Arm Licker

just figured out "guy w/ all the TVs" is Video Backpacker

that's a creepy scene. there's a lot of creepiness in the movie, really.

I am going to watch this RIGHT NOW. Thank you old roommate's ex-Blockbuster VHS.

which one was the guy that says "i hate nature" or something like that?

"I've practically given up on not only my own people, but on mankind in its entirety."

xpost: Recluse in Bathrobe

"I hate shit like that.. all that nature. The sunlight is so oppressive these days."
