Overrated Movies (or "Why Does Everyone Like Tyler Durden?")

The two that come to mind at the moment are the aforementioned Boondock Saints, and Requiem for a Dream. There was some clever cinematography in Requiem, but with regard to the actual story, I felt absolutely no sympathy for any of the characters. No, not even the crazy TV-addict mom. I'm as anti-drug as the next guy, but in this case, drugs ultimately had little to do with their demise. Drugs can't destroy a person's life if they don't have one in the first place.

Frickin' plastic bag.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You can't try to make yourself enjoy something. That only makes it worse.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What I liked about Napoleon Dynamite was that everything came full circle. Every seemingly pointless event that happened or random item that he got ultimately had a purpose. The glamour shots photo, Pedro's cousins, and of course the dance music tape (<3 Jamiroquai, btw). Almost like Signs in that regard, except without the religious overtones.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hahaha, that's the point. Its complete dorkiness is why people find it so charming. A lot of them identify with those awkward years (or at least know someone who went through them).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

If you want an existential movie that DOESN'T suck, check out Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

Watching I <3 Huckabees was like seeing somebody masturbate to a LiveJournal for two hours.

I was speaking idiomatically.
