Okay, lemme preface this by saying I don't hate "Dazed and Confused" but I don't get it. I mean, I understand what happens in the movie, you'd have to be borderline retarded to miss any of the major plot points (School, drugs, bathroom, drugs, bedroom, drugs, party, drugs, drugs, drugs) what I don't get is why it's so fucking popular. The shit is fucking boring high, why would you sit through this shit, not only sober, but fucking fawn over it like these feckless assholes paid to review movies?
I'll say it again, I don't HATE this movie, but it sure as fuck doesn't deserve a 98 percent tomatometer rating. I mean, seriously? that says that this is technically a masterpiece only marginally off-perfect: As good, if not better then movies by Orson Welles, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, Gus Van Sandt and Speilburg.
You see, whats got me pissed off is that it seems when I actually really dig a movie, it's tomatometer reading sucks it. I'm gonna throw you a few flicks that I know are way better then dazed and confused.
