although scarlett johansson's low-rent low-self esteem trashy blonde yank with protruding ass shtick

that was the only redeeming feature of that film!


oh dear, i'm criticising everyone a lot in this thread. em, I liked Amelie and 13 Going on 30.

 

[Jill Hives]

Garden State is a terrible film Jill Hives, shame on you

It's one of those that was seen at the perfect time. I walked out and broke up with my boyfriend. It holds good memories. I almost listed Closer too. That would get the... I thought I would hate it but loved it award. Oh and Secretary. Okay, I'm out. I can't make a list of 20 for ten years.

 

[Lili Marlene]

did you go to a cliff and start screaming in a meaningful way because when life has become so inexpressibly bleak the only way to cleanse yourself is through the pure emotion released in a scream? preferably with your one dimensional band name dropping new girlfriend beside you.

"I'm listening to the shins"

 

[I Bleed Black]

Forgot these two (to bring me up to 34);

Man on Wire
Dead Man's Shoes

No it was more, "Jesus you're the whiniest self absorbed motherfucker I've ever met and I'd rather kick you in the shins." Good times.

 

[Andy_aurel]

Good call on Wonder Boys Jill.
