The online meme has been turned into a movie...and it seems like it will be a missed opportunity. Instead of a big-budgeted action comedy about a guy who invents a time machine and him and his accomplice having cool adventures (I imagined events such as the two hunting down dinosaurs, winning the Revolutionary War singlehandedly and stopping JFK's assassination), it's a low budget mumblecore film about a guy who claims to have built a time machine and reality setting in. And those no-talent assclowns The Duplass Brothers produced it.

This idea had so much potential and they fucked it up by making it boring hipster bullshit.

Also, Clifton Collins Jr. should have played the inventor.

I ain't never heard of the genre "mumblecore" Care to enlighten us? (ps, the name alone scares me.)

It's a type of indie film where nothing really happens except pretentious hipsters talking and talking about nothing important for 90 minutes. Examples include the entire Duplass Brothers filmography (The Puffy Chair, Baghead, Cyrus, Humpday and god knows how many other films) and possibly Van Sant's Gerry.

No one ever sees these movies (even Cyrus was one of John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill's least successful films) but they keep making them.

Aww shit no. Fuck that noise. You can make an independent, inexpensive film and not make it a bunch of inane prattle.

Hoenstly that's up for debate but I really don't want to start anything. These films have their fans.

Most films do, no matter the maker, no matter the genre.

Welp, I'll keep this from turning into a complaint thread by my hand. So, adieu.

If there's no mullet and no Push It To The Limit or Wishmaster, what's the point?
