In Which I Make Some Unnecessarily Snarky Comments About Richard Linklater's "Boyhood" (2014)



And now, some unnecessarily snarky comments about Richard Linklater's "Boyhood" (2014):
  1. Grown-ups are the worst.
  2. This movie is Liberal propaganda.
  3. RICHARD LINKLATER STOLE MY TASTE IN MUSIC.
  4. "You don't understand us!"
  5. The Mom has the worst taste in men.
  6. Director films movie intermittently over 11 year period. You won't believe what happens next!
  7. They couldn't find any better child actors in Texas?
  8. Movies grow up so fast. Where does the time go!?
  9. You guys. Life is hard, you guys.
  10. I've been saying stuff like "It's always now" since, like, 2006.
No, but seriously, following the story of a child growing up over a decade+ is a great idea for a movie. The problem is you still actually have to make the dang movie.
