Slacker

Slacker is an experimental film by Richard Linklater in which the camera gravitates to a different group of people in every scene.

Differs from The Slacker.

Cool Old Guy: The fake Spanish Civil War veteran anarchist.
Creator Cameo: The first character is played by Richard Linklater.
Decoy Protagonist: It starts with a bus passenger and doesn't stop.
Defiled Forever: While the implications of what led to the Madness Mantra entry are tragic, they're offset by the comic appropriateness of the last sentence coming from a Looney Tunes short where a dissociative Elmer Fudd repeats the line.
Developing Doomed Characters: The entire film.
Follow the Leader: Inspired by My Dinner With Andre.
Hyperlink Story: Each scene passes off to the next one via a shared shot between the characters of each.
Loads and Loads of Characters: Over a hundred unnamed characters.
Madness Mantra: "You should quit, you should quit, you should quit, you should quit..."
The Oner
Trust Me, I'm A Doctor: "You should quit traumatizing women with sexual intercourse. I should know. I'm a medical doctor. I own a mansion and a yacht."
