'Hey You'

There was a thread about this, but it seems to have been deleted... I thought that this was, on the whole, a really strong film. One thing that I find completely unbelievable, though, was that it took someone so long to figure out that Walt took credit for the Pink Floyd song. I find it hard to believe that even his parents would have been so out of touch with music, let alone an entire auditorium full of people. Why didn't Baumbach choose a more obscure song. If he had, it wouldn't have been such a glaring head-scratcher of a plot line.

You're having completely false memories of how well known this song was in 1986. It didn't become a AOR radio staple until waaaayyyy later, not until the 90s. The casual music fan knew Another Brick in the Wall Part II, and probably Comfortably Numb off The Wall, that's it. How old were you in 1986? This might be distorting your perception of things.

SUGRANT...

Try something called "suspending your disbelief." Otherwise you'll sit in the theater in a crazy stupor wondering how Wolverine got those big fingernails.
