"So this isn’t a film for everyone. If you don’t enjoy movies about characters who are trying to be thoughtful as they search out their roles in life, you shouldn’t go. If you don’t believe that broad comic scenes can work mere minutes from quiet, subtle drama, you shouldn’t go."

This isn't either/or. You can still think Dave Eggers is a no-talent retarded hipster fuckwad AND appreciate movies with "thoughtful characters", etc. The problem is that Eggers and his android wife are ridiculously shallow people (read their books!) whose entire shtick is that they are not shallow.

The boner Eggers must've got when he got a fucking movie deal. Good grief. God I hope this thing fails.

I, for one, am really looking forward to it.

Typical Stranger-style there Harold--once someone gets successful and makes a name for themselves, they are automatically deemed to have no talent...

...that attitude seems to be pretty damn retarded-hipster- fuckwadish to me.

Everyone I know who slams Eggers also seems to slam all young authors who have made it (Safran-Foer comes to mind). Get the fuck over yourselves. Just because they came up with their schtick before you could think of your own doesn't make them shallow or pretentious...just clever.

Please, stop using the word "rumpled" in your movie reviews.

thanks for the review. it was really enjoyable.

Dear Harold L,

Please get hit by an asteroid.

Sincerely,
The Rest of the World

Didn't dave turn down huge movie offers for both Heartbreaking work and Velocity? I believe so.
