Really hope Juno is in this list now for maximum irkage value
I think that scene elevates it from a 9/10 to a 10/10 but that’s just me

TRIVIA TIME: Richard Linklater cast his daughter Lorelei Linklater as Samantha because she was always singing and dancing around the house and wanted to be in his movies. At about the third or fourth year of filming, she lost interest and asked for her character to be killed off. Linklater refused, saying it was too violent for what he was planning (Lorelei eventually regained her enthusiasm and continued with the project).

wahey!
(can’t really remember anything about this film other than i thought it was amazing achievement)
That’s it. It wasn’t a perfect narrative by any means, but I still thought it was decent if at times plodding. But on an achievement basis it deserves to be talked about fondly, imo. Still a million miles behind other Linklater films.
how did you know?
Turns out it was shit

Trivia Time: A subplot of the film was inspired by an article in Time Magazine about David Phillips, a University of California civil engineer who stumbled upon a lucrative frequent-flyer promotion. By purchasing 12,150 cups of Healthy Choice pudding for just three thousand dollars, he accumulated 1.25 million air-miles.

the one good PTA film
Next up is a Pixar film. Then we’ll have another a few films later.
ah shuuuuut it.
alright I can’t stay mad at a man that has THAT avatar.
Agreed. There are so few good directors for each of us why be stingy?
You’re thinking of Boogie Nights there
What does this mean?
forgot that was him tbf. yeah that’s a great film but let’s pretend I don’t think that as it undermines my attempt at rustling some jimmies
Given its placing I guess very much not just you.
Had a fascinating commentary on the DVD IIRC
hate this film
Gotta say I didn’t love it. But then I’m hot and cold on PTA.
