nobody told me


Nobody told me how depressing this movie is. It's like watching my life on tv. I'm 21, I live with my parents, I have no car, I'm taking one class at community college, I have a crappy job as a cashier at Wal-Mart, and everything that Jeff says is *beep* that I think about all the time.

On a lighter note, I think Soose was a badly written character. I hated her so much by the time she finished her "performance" that even when I agreed with her point of veiw, I went along with the other side of an argument. Whenever she was fighting with Jeff, I occassionally agredd with her, but still got the urge to smack her upside the head and tell the stupid feminazi to shut up. I don't think she was supposed to make me that mad, but I hate feminazis. I'm sorry, but most of my friends are guys and there is nothing wrong with them.

*I love that the movies I like get horrible reviews. It makes them come out on DVD earlier.*

I think everything you said about Sooze was intentional. I don't think she was supposed to be a likeable character. That doesn't mean she was badly written.

Loreleib, I couldn’t agree with you more, I hated Sooze’s character so much, she was beyond annoying. If I was a character in this movie I would have had to run off during her monologue, due to the fact that I would have been hysterically laughing at her ass. I don’t understand how anyone could have stood there and not have laughed. Sooze is a joke, she’s tries to hard to be different and creative, and above all of the bulls**t, when she was just full of it herself. If she had any credibility, she completely lost it when Pony came into the picture. She ragged on Jeff about not doing anything with his life and kept asking him to go to New York with her and when he finally said yes, she told him it was to late. Why was it to late?, a few hours ago it wasn’t.

Now Pony was another character I did not like, he tries to act all cool, like he doesn’t fall into the typically, self-absorbed, swimming in the land of excess, LA rock star. But that is exactly who he is, he comes back to play his home town, riding around in a limousine and just so happens to have his guitar and harmonica handy, now that’s a coincidence. I know he says that “they make me use the limousine,” whatever, he’s there is show off and impress. Who’s he trying to impress, probably the one chick he always liked in High School, that he could never sleep with. So he feeds her bulls**t, he knows she’ll just eat up, your such a talented artist, I remember the stuff you did in High School, and the best of all I want you to do our next CD cover, so he can get into her pants and it works. Buff is also feed this bulls**t and falls for it, because in all reality, they will never make the video or create the CD cover. Sooze would have been back in a week crying for Jeff to take her back and Buff would have been out a job at the pizza place.

I hated how Sooze treated her boyfriend after spending just a couple of hours with Pony, she’s so gullible and looking for a way out that she doesn’t even care about what she is doing, or who she hurts. She’s a user, Pony’s a user and Buff’s a dumbass. I really did like this movie, it hit’s so close to home that it’s really scary.


Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

I agree; while not necessarily likable, she serves her purpose quite well. You're not supposed to like her nor identify with her. She is a tool to progress the Jeff character.

Well, I know that you're not supposed to like her, but I don't think you're supposed to hate her with a passion either.
