I also want to put in my praise for Scott Pilgrim.  I thought it was fantastic, and the way it played with formalism was excellent.

Yeah, I liked it a lot better than I thought I would. 

It even made Casa Loma seem almost interesting.

I haven't read the graphic novels yet. I really need to.

Dartmouth Fett was saying how it's the official movie of the generation right after ours. Apparently Donnie Darko is ours.  :|

You mean it isn't Reality Bites?  Stupid lying movie promos!

That would have been like 2 before us. Though directly before us I said Empire Records. We were going for like 5 year spreads. That "pivotal" movie that defined your high school graduation. For me it was totally Episode I, but I'm special.

Whoever came up with that one should've been fired.  It's ALWAYS after midnight.

I graduated high school in 1993.  Our film was Linklater's Slacker.

Unfortunately it seems like the only movies that I can sit and watch, that keep my attention, are bright and shiny animated flicks.
*sigh* You have to be kidding me.

Animated or anime?

More animated than Anime.

Wait does Pokemon count? I Loves me some Pokemon.

I think the problem is that my attn span can't stay connected to the screen unless there is something bright and shiny moving around on it.

You can't go wrong with most of the Pixar movies.  The only one I didn't really care for all that much was Cars.  I thought Up and Wall-E were both pretty good.  I really liked Wall-E for the fact that it was able to tell a good portion of its story without any dialogue.  I would really like to see them take a crack at a modern-day silent-film.
