Everybody Wants Dull

I take it you're new to IMDB? People tend to voice their opinions about film here, good and bad.

Movie was *beep* awesome.

that's your opinion dip shyt....this movie *beep* sucked.

How boring would it be if all you read on here were people heaping praised on a movie? The movie worked for you. Great. I'm glad. Some of us weren't as captivated. I come here to discuss not only movies I like, but movies that I didn't. In this case I was intrigued because I felt like the movie never drew me in and wanted to see if there were others that felt the same.

You know...I agree with you...this movie was good and I don't understand anyone who didn't like it.

HOWEVER HOWEVER HOWEVER I am SO sick of comments like yours. I cannot even BEGIN to fathom the amount of times I have read something to the effect of: "If you don't like (insert name of movie, video game, book, song, person, etc.) then why are you even on this board/posting this comment/wasting your breath/etc? Go away!"

FIRST and FOREMOST. Don't act like for one second that every comment you've ever made on IMDb (unless you are brand new to here) has been in the affirmative for a movie, tv show, actor, etc. I guarantee I could go down your list of comments and quickly find you trashing something you didn't like.

SECONDLY, there is nothing wrong with being critical. THAT'S WHAT WEBSITES LIKE THIS ARE FOR! So, in your opinion, no one should ever write a negative movie review? How about this: do you think people should not write reviews for products they didn't like that they got from Amazon? Do you really want to only read positive reviews? What about this: do you and your friends and family share the same opinion on every single issue in life and when you don't you just drop the subject?

Bottom line, someone wants to trash a movie (even in this case when they are clearly wrong as this is a good movie) then this board is EXACTLY where they should be doing that trashing. So get over it. WHEW!

Listen up Fives...a Ten is speaking.

My favorite comments on the boards after "Looks like" is the amazingly pieced together "why waste energy posting if you didn't like it."
I love how people get all butt hurt that not everyone likes a movie they did. Last I checked these boards were for discussion. You can talk about if and why you enjoyed or did not enjoy a movie. They don't exist purely to slurp the marble bag of the film maker, actors, and those who share the same opinions.
P.S. I enjoyed the movie, nowhere near as much as Dazed and Confused because I don't think the characters were developed as much, but it was still a fun, well directed movie. But I can see how people may not have felt the same.

"I'm sorry that the pretzel fell out.I honestly don't know how long it was in my underpants."

I'm done with the BS from movie viewers like you who worship at the alter of Linklater's cock! This movie stunk. And was not brilliant. It was a major blemish on Linklater's movie career and he's directed and made much better films than this piece of drivel. You're an idiot for paying to see this film multiple times in a movie theater.

I do not believe for even 1 second that anyone went to see this movie several times in a theater.

It's just THAT bad.

You can really tell who in here knows anything about storytelling, character development, narrative, conflict and the premise of a story arc.

This film was devoid of each one of these elements. Was it charming? ehhh, probably more so for some than others... but this was masturbatory effort by Linklater that was missing virtually every important mechanism of an effective 'coming of age" story.

Everybody Wants Some was the 14th Linklater film I watched. I had enjoyed them all, and loved a few (the before films, boyhood, tape, slacker, dazed and scanner darkly) but I couldn't even sit through this.

I tried three times because I thought it might have been me or my mood holding me back from getting into it. Every time though I just ended up staring at the screen blankly, not even a smile on face and zero reason to care about anything I was seeing.

I wonder why some of us just didn't feel it...
