im just hidden.
it gives hope.
... to me the best part was natalie portman....
maybe i just took so long to see it and then when i saw it I had too high expectations... or maybe it just sucked beans.
well its better than the other kinds of movies that are out there.
swearing and sex..
im not saying i dont swear.
i just dont wanna see it. or hear it.
i wish the theatres around me would play some of thoes old movies.
ive been watching a lot of turner classic movies lately.
they have the best movies ive ever seen on there.
Actually the problem part makes it complex and interesting i think... I like going to movies that not only mak eyou escape reality but are good, and complex, and fascinating...
but i just didn't like Garden State... Maybe i have to watch it over... i mean lots of people do love it and are probably getting something that i missed.
well it goes garden state then eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
i had to explain the movie to them after it was over because...
my brain works as scattered as the movie was.
im sure theres a disorder in there somewhere.
ive probably got add or adhd or pqrs..
I disagree; I love both. I saw Garden State before it became the apparent "indieflick o' the decade" thing for teens and I enjoyed it then and still do now. There's something about the simplicity and the rambling nature that I loved. Also, I just adore Zach Braff ever since I began watching Scrubs, which might make me a bit biased. Still, Kenny the cop craks me up every time.
i love indie music and vids.
their all great.

I never really liked the title "indie" simply because it tries to consolodate things that really are too broad to simplify and jam into one category. For example, I love foreign films (Amélie, L'Auberge Espagnol, Look at Me (I think it's original nae was "comme une figure"?))which, in most circles, are called "indie." However, I do not put them into the same circle as movies like Tristam Shandy, Thumbsucker, Whale Rider, or even Garden State. Some goes for music. I listen to the Go! team, Gogol Bordello, the Books, Kimya Dawson, etc. and, in the literal sense, they are "indie;" they're outside the pop "norm" and are, therefore, independent.
I don't know, something about "indie" annoys me, not in the sense that indiefuck kids do, lord knows I'm a faux-indiefuck or at least a wannabe, but I don't like generalizations... especially with this.
Maybe that's my problem; by generalization of a very wide category, being "indie" is now like being "punk" used to be. It was a group that broke off from the norm... and now EVERYONE wants to embrace it. A former show of individuality is now cliché, and that annoys me greatly.

I guess I know what you mean... I'd never try and group films into the indie category, because i think i know very little on the topic... but i think its really easy to categorize music in that category.
I mean sometimes its the only way you can, unless we make new words up that drive some bands into greater obscurity...
like "electroindierockpop" etc.
... thats why i admit to liking everything i like, dispite if it is lame or not...
and your right, "indie" does have a stigma around it. it also since "indies" recent sucess music corps wanna get a peice of them, which kinda stops them from being indie...
the only crappy example i can think of is insane clown posse... they sung about sticking it to the man... but then they sold out and thier old audience started to hate them...
BLARG... i can neva get my point across, it just ends up like insane ramblings...
like "electroindierockpop" etc.
Hahaha, that is completely true and I often fall victim to insane ramblings trying to explain a band's sound without reverting to "indie" (though I tend to give up halfway through and just make perople listen to said band).

'Tis not insane ramblings; I see what you're saying. I agree, thought I admit, I often lie and say I know more about music than I do. Still, I embrace my more "lame" bands.
For example, I fucking LOVE Meatloaf. I found an old LP of Bat Out of Hell in a thrift store and carried it around in a happy parade of Meatload lovin' all afternoon, much to the chagrin of my friend who were forced to walk with me as I squealed about it for a good 15 minutes.
I just think it's so ironic that being "indie" is suddenly cool when the whole point is to be outside the norm (my guyfriend even jokes about "scene/indie points" when we're acting particurally indiefuckish.
Example:
Me: "OH MY GOD. I got this new CD. No one has heard of it though...."
Him: ".... +1 indie point"

same here
if everyone was a poser
then we would all hate ourselves.
