It’s so hard for me to maintain friendships

Your dogged persistence is the only reason we’re still in touch, even though I do genuinely like you and care about you!

I’m such a cranky bastard

The words “misanthropy” and “hermit” are overused, but I’m the real deal

I find people in general so disappointing

3) the only part of it that rings true is that the “punk teens” all live in mansions and the protagonist ends up going to Harvard. THAT PART, I believe is drawn directly from the filmmakers’ personal experiences

Steve got the new 4K of SLC Punk yesterday. Observations:

1) the poster used Comic Sans! Actual unironic Conic Sans for the cast member names and tagline

2) I always thought the movie was an embarrassingly brazen and subpar ripoff of Trainspotting. Watching it again for the first time in 20 years, my reaction was: “holy shit is this ever a brazen subpar ripoff of Trainspotting” spiced with some painful direct lifts from Goodfellas

the movie has an appealing “fuck it” vibe

Characters include a disaffected Tokyo tour guide, a semi-retarded pickpocket, a dirt-poor Chinese guy who gets stranded in Tokyo, a family living in a shack near a polluted river—somehow manages to be a very silly and fun movie

My friend Steve’s review of “What’s Up Connection”

[MyFriendMatt @MyFriendSteve]

I just love Japan and Hong Kong and it’s rare to see a fun movie about people living on the skids in both cities

Even slum living looks insane in Tokyo and HK
