Last night I watched one of the worst movies of all time. 7% on RT. Made in 2009.

Any guesses?

[The Third Man]

Hmm... No, but, you should probably hit it up some time. Hell, I was 30 or 31 before I ever saw it start to finish. Have you seen any of the other Belushi films?

Animal House, which I like. I think that's it.

Geenan's white whale?

Made in 2009? Or in theaters in 2009?

Whiteout (with Wart's girlfriend)?

All About Steve?

Beyond A Reasonable Doubt?

I'm not a big fan of his style. The whole meandering between conversations thing I can deal with, and I'm not a stickler for formal plot structure, but he just carries on that way for too long. For my taste anyway. The Player forced him to stick to the plot more, so it's probably why I like it more than the rest.

That's understandable. You cut right to the chase with Altman. I'm a fan of the overlapping conversations and his overall style but I can definitely see how it'd piss a viewer off.

Check out "Secret Honor". Ok, it meanders- in fact, there is no real plot structure whatsoever- but there's only one character (Nixon), so there's no overlapping dialogue, etc. And it's quite different from his other films.

Weird thing is I liked "Slacker" when it came out (though less so now), and some of Linklater's other stuff which is Altman-esque. Maybe it comes down to whether or not I'm interested in the conversations. With Altman, I find I'm not. I remember almost nothing about the conversations in Nashville.

Bingo

[The Third Man]

Dazed and Confused is the only Linklater I've seen and I love it, and was in fact reminded of it a few times during Nashville.

It doesn't help that he collaborated so often with Shelley Duvall. She's a [expletive] horrible actress.

Had to shut my office door there.
