I'm watching Little Miss Sunshine right now
 
Damn I wanna punch Greg Kinnear in the face.


BTW, if this movie was nominated for an academy award, why wasn't You, Me, and Everyone We Know last year? It is a similar film and I'd say perhaps better- although I haven't finished Little Miss Sunshine yet.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 01.30.2007 02:50 PM

king_buzzo 01.30.2007 03:01 PM

I've never seen this movie. I like Greg Kinnear. I did see the other movie you mentioned though, and wasn't impressed with it at all.

Its a great movie, don't compare the two films too much, they may both be great, its like saying "Happiness" should have gotten more acknowledgement then "American Beauty".

!@#$%! 01.30.2007 04:32 PM

happiness features a creepy little fishfaced molester, american beauty featured mena suvary naked. hm, let's see...

btw i havent seen little miss sunshine, but i LOOOVED you & me & everyone we know. loved it. part of it was a sudden crush on that lovely blue eyed weirdo miranda july-- part of it-- but i loved it.

anyway i don't even know what im replying to. i guess it's a random post.

I paused the movie because I had to take a quick break and figured I'd go on the boards during my little break. I wasn't posting while watching it.

I liked the movie- but this chick I knew practically orgasmed when talking about the movie.

It was a good movie, but it wasn't that good. It was a subtle dramady that all the sudden turned into Napoleon Dynamite at the end. But there is a difference between being subtle, and perhaps leaving a bit too much out. The sound track was your typical emotionally suggestive new age BS that are in these types of movies.

Greg Kinnear's character makes up for himself at the end when he gets off his high horse and realizes what he really is.

!@#$%! 01.30.2007 05:43 PM

sorry man, i was taking a potshot. no harm intended. no explanation required.

i gotta see this, im curious now. i just don't know when.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 01.30.2007 05:48 PM

You should. Steve Carell and Alan Arkin are pretty good in it. Steve Carell doesn't play the usual sort of character he does, but some of his comedy is worked in just a tad.

I can't post on the forum while I watch a movie.
Haven't seen it yet, but I will soon.

good movie. The hospital scene and the ending of the beauty pageant are classic (though I couldn't bear to watch them for tension reasons, I could hear my parents laughing their asses off)

youthoftomorrow 01.30.2007 07:43 PM

i liked it pretty well. although the dance scene was more than slightly off-putting.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 01.30.2007 07:44 PM

I thought it was great.

touch me i'm sick 01.30.2007 08:15 PM

rarrrrr this movie was not as good as everyone says it to be. if it were the first dark comedy ever made, then yeah it would be good. but it's not and films such as royal tennenbaums were way better. ahhhhhh! you me and everyone we know was jsut weird and creepy, the whole time i was like what, creepy old men and lesbian girls!, little boys with 40 year odl women!>>!> !

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 01.30.2007 08:28 PM

Yeah, I liked the Royal Tennenbaums a lot more as well.

luxinterior 01.30.2007 08:52 PM

I didn't really like the Tenenbaums movie either now that I think about it. It wasn't completely horrible, but there have been a lot of movies made of late that are in a similar vein, that being the OH GEE LOOK AT HOW QUIRKY OUR FAMILY IS, HOW WILL WE EVER COPE vein. Or maybe I'm the only one who is sick of seeing this act as a substitute for an actual plot.

touch me i'm sick 01.30.2007 09:21 PM

you're not the only one
