wait are you talking about Sea Thai? is that actually in the movie? hahahaha

― Underwriters Laboratories® (blastocyst), Friday, 3 March 2006 06:07 (nineteen years ago)

No one actually likes that movie, it's like a strawman in film form.

I actually know someone who liked Garden State. He tried to force me to listen to the soundtrack, even, because it was important to him or something like that. So I went and saw the movie and was like what in the holy fuck is this girly nonsense shit.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

it's indietastic!

― inert false cat (sleep), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

Half the movie is bad indie songs being played with no diegetic sound at all.

― R.I.P. Concrete Octopus ]-`: (ex machina), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

Oh what the hell, I'll watch it. What I DON'T understand is how the writer/producer/and so on aren't being SUED for ripping off Rick Moody's first novel, and then completely defanging it. I mean, it's a kind of sloppy first novel and that's even if you LIKE Rick Moody, but PUHLEEZE...the movie? Not even.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:54 (nineteen years ago)

liking rick moody would be a capital crime, if i was king.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

I have a heart for GARDEN STATE, I read it right after moving to Jersey and was newly listening to all messy loud music courtesy of then-boyfriend and it had the bestest bestest paperback cover w/ a traffic light hanging against a truly virulent-green sky.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

dave grubbs would get a stay of execution because squirrel bait toured with g.g. allin.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 3 March 2006 16:00 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I was taking the Bergen County line through Paterson/Passaic on a daily basis and looking into people's crappy backyards and half-fallen abandoned factories out of train windows and somehow it all fit together. That was a strange year.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 3 March 2006 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

A terrible movie, even my wife hated it.

― Adam Rice Lacucaracha (nordicskilla), Friday, 3 March 2006 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

I liked the movie, though the ending was totally terrible.

I'm from New Jersey, and behind my house, in the woods, was a giant pit filled with deserted cranes. It was too rocky to build homes there and they couldn't get the cranes out. We used to climb the cranes.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 3 March 2006 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sure if someone made a crappy movie about suburban North London filled with bad music and mawkish sentiments, I would love it too.

― Adam Rice Lacucaracha (nordicskilla), Friday, 3 March 2006 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

Dan that sounds awesomely dangerous.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 3 March 2006 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, we used to climb the base of the water tower in our yard, but CRANES? That's like the hard stuff.

Permission added

The user Laurel now has the yellow card permission on this board.

― R.I.P. Concrete Octopus ]-`: (ex machina), Friday, 3 March 2006 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

The user Dan Selzer now has the dreaded Zach Braff yellow card permission on this board.

― R.I.P. Concrete Octopus ]-`: (ex machina), Friday, 3 March 2006 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

Am I allowed to ask what happened to the Concrete Octopus?

― Adam Rice Lacucaracha (nordicskilla), Friday, 3 March 2006 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

Jon, explain pls.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 3 March 2006 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

how do yellow cards work? Because I see one does that mean I'm yellow carded for the entire board? Because I'm from New Jersey? Fact is, I LIKE Zach Braff, and I thought that was pretty good for a first movie, though the ending's bullshit sentimentality, and the excessive use of indie rock nearly ruined it for me. I like Scrubs, believe it or not, and I liked him on Arrested Development.

The cranes were very dangerous and rusty and we didn't climb up the arm, just into the drivers seat and on the treads. We joked about climbing all the way up, then we came back a few years later and the arm had fallen. I wonder if anyone heard it fall?

I like Scrubs too!

― R.I.P. Concrete Octopus ]-`: (ex machina), Friday, 3 March 2006 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

I've been watching Arrested Development.

― Adam Rice Lacucaracha (nordicskilla), Friday, 3 March 2006 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

Does the yellow card actually prohibit me from DOING anything in particular? Or just force me to look at ZB's steely gaze? Because frankly I can think of plenty of other gazes I like better.

YOUR yellow card has Zach Braff on it? When I was yellow carded it didn't have SHIT on it.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Friday, 3 March 2006 18:12 (nineteen years ago)

the only thing i remember about Garden State is when queen amadala says "you have to do something no one has ever done in this world" and then goes "ALKHJD DPIOFDNSKFHALIHFDSKHAGIFAHEWDKBAKLVDVB H YFI P2U398R348Q7R0898Q736EHDSZ N:" That shit bugged

― team jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 3 March 2006 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

that part was almost good enough for a ytmnd

― R.I.P. Concrete Octopus ]-`: (ex machina), Friday, 3 March 2006 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

god Natalie Portman is totally crap.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Friday, 3 March 2006 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

she also looks lame in the new vanity fair, where all the other chicks in the industry had the courtesy to pose nude.

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Friday, 3 March 2006 19:43 (nineteen years ago)

wait which chicks are nude?

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Friday, 3 March 2006 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

Scar Jo and Keira Knightley. Rachel McWedding Crashers bowed out so they replaced her with Tom Ford.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 3 March 2006 19:57 (nineteen years ago)

Sienna Miller is also topless (as in actual exposed breasts) inside.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Friday, 3 March 2006 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

I drank with Rick Moody once. He seemed nice.

I don't like Zach Braff tho. Or his brother!

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Monday, 6 March 2006 03:11 (nineteen years ago)

when did i get a yellow card?

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Monday, 6 March 2006 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

That video is the best thing Natalie Portman has ever done.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 6 March 2006 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

I remember hearing or reading an interview with Zach Braff when the movie came out, and he was saying something like, "A lot of the stuff in that movie, it really happened! Like a friend of mine was really working in a Vietnamese restaurant and this girl wanted bread!" I feel like I sat next to this guy in a creative writing class at Rutgers.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 6 March 2006 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

Did his friend have to have fake Vietnamese eye makeup?

― R.I.P. Concrete Octopus ]-`: (ex machina), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:13 (nineteen years ago)
