Sadly, you can't. First off, she's got a full day of shop-lifting ahead of her at sunrise.

She's poor? - man, so she didn't get to keep all that stuff? Bummer.

And since she didn't make no money from all those movies...

[about Troy] He's weird, he's strange, he's sloppy, he's a total nightmare for women... I can't believe I haven't slept with him yet.
Troy, you are a master at the art of time suckage.

Don't Bogart that can, man...

I was hoping she would just come clean and say I screwed up instead of trying to fight a case where she knew she did wrong. It surely screwed her career a bit in the way she made people think of her.

I don't get why she was so pissed about that. TROY, not to be confused with Ethan Hawke, went to do a gig which he probably got paid for. Yet she has been complaining about him laying around, watching TV, no doing anything, making other people do his laundry, not paying rent, etc. yet when he want to go do something she get pissed off? I would sacrifice a gig to lay and bed and cuddle with Winona Ryder because she's really pretty but she shouldn't fault him for that. SHe should fault him for being an as$hole a lot of the time.

Reality Bites - 10/10
Back to School - 7/10

Actually I don't think he was going for a gig. I think he was going to practice for that gig, which was later that night. She thought this was weird because it was 8:25 in the morning and earlier in the film Troy says, "One day I'm going to wake up before noon..." and when he says that Lelaina laughs as if he'd ever get up that early for ANYTHING. Even to practice for a gig. And I think we know he wasn't really going to practice. He says he left because he panicked.

Correct, he said he was going to rehearse.

Dude, you gave Back to School 7/10? That movie was awesome. The late Rodney Dangerfield was a genius, "I'm a lover, not a fighter!"

Apparently. But it was so long ago, I just remember thinking the movie was good but not great or anything.

He had to go sing a lame whiny song of false lament about his pothead mother and cokehead father. That's what I hate about these grungy Seattle losers, and rappers as well. They wear their supposed misery like a badge of honor. Truth is, whatever of it is actually true is something they're proud of, because it validates to some extent their whiny bitchiness. Compare this with the genuine misery and longing that John Lennon expressed about his dead mother, and these losers just don't stack up (not to mention that the music is dull and derivative).

Oh yeah. John's life was so miserable without MOMMY! Give me a fricken break. They're the same type of douchebag cry baby who use sorrow and pain to express their worthless pretentious opinions to impose their will to get whatever they want.

Yeh, every character in this film beside Ben Stillers' is detestable

reply

[–] PhoenixPhuck 11 years ago

Eh, of the 5 main characters I'd say only Troy and Lelaina are "detestable".

Even the most primitive society has an innate respect for the insane.
