Garden State

Has anyone seen this movie? Zach Braff (from Scrubs) wrote, directed and stars in it. It's such an awesome movie. I highly suggest it.

Evangeline - 8-16-2004 at 05:53 PM

I was deffinately planning to go see that one sometime soon.

Seb - 8-16-2004 at 08:39 PM

It looks really good, I want to see it.

Does anyone know what the song in the trailer is and who its by?

Seb - 8-16-2004 at 08:52 PM

I find that when I see movies like that I get really discouraged to go into film, I mean, how am I supposed to compete with something like that…

Natalie Portman really does it for me.

there is this French-British movie that was broadcast on ARTE once ..."The Cement Garden" ...which was pretty good.

I was debating on whether I wanted to see this or not..At first it seemed like a lame love story, but now that I've seen more stuff on it, it looks like a quirky love story..Then again, I never seem to be able to get to see an "adult" movie when I go, so I guess it really doesn't matter what the movie is like..:rolleyes:

I saw this movie tonight and it is a work of art. It was beautifully filmed, the script was written really well, Zack Braff is loaded with talent. I am glad to see that there are still good movies being made.

This movie looks awesome! I really want to see it.

I have to see this movie too. I think Zach is cool. I watch Scrubs all the time, and last night it was a new season with Heather Graham they played Becks' "Lost Cause". He's got good taste in music too. I heard the soundtrack is killer.

Seb - 9-15-2004 at 12:10 PM

I missed scrubs yesterday, it wasnt on:(

Evangeline - 9-15-2004 at 12:22 PM

The garden state soundrack is awesome, plenty of Shins. I usually love Natalie Portman, but Sam got annoying.

Seb - 9-15-2004 at 12:26 PM

I thought Sam was great. She was weird, quirky and full of life, not matter how bad things got.

Neuwave - 9-15-2004 at 12:32 PM

The Shins: I love

Natalie: Zach said in an interview that he had her in mind for the part.

Seb - 9-15-2004 at 12:47 PM

I heard the same thing, he was actually going to get some one nataliesque but she signed on

Evangeline - 9-15-2004 at 12:48 PM

Sam was sweet and all, but just seemed so ... dramatic? I dunno, something about her just irked me.

I love the shins too. I only have "chutes too narrow" I've been meaning to get the other.

I saw that interview as well, how sweet.

Oh man wait til you hear "Oh, Inverted World".:wow:

WarholDisciple - 9-15-2004 at 04:51 PM

I saw it a couple weeks ago and forgot to come back and post about it. I fuckin loved it!! It's yet another of my favourite movies now and I definitely want to go see it again soon SOON. I love the theme song a lot too. I actually heard it like a month before I saw the movie, but after I saw it I couldn't get it out of my head. It's by Frou Frou. The movie was way cool.

JunoRedneck - 9-15-2004 at 04:53 PM

Ya, I love this movie. Speaking of awesome movies, has anyone seen Mean Creek?

7cut - 9-16-2004 at 12:32 AM
