Art School Confidential

[Zinke]

I think the confidential part is that your not supposed to tell anyone how much it sucked after seeing it.

I am breaking that vow.

This was retarded. It started off as a funny and slightly clever movie making fun of uppity art school cliches. Then, it went into angsty emo overdrive and forgot about the themes it had setup in the beginning.

The sarcastic, comedic relief, friend basically disappears about halfway through the movie, and he was the best part until then. The main character overacts his way through most of the scenes. He's either being so shy and timid that you want to punch him for being such a pussy, or he's so depressed over the stupidest shit that you still want to punch him for being a pussy. Moderate spoilers:"Wha wha, this girl that I think is pretty, but I haven't actually asked her out or anything, is dating some other guy. What a bitch, I hate her." is basically exactly what the main character's story is for most of the movie. Retarded. Then the whole strangler storyline was lame. I did like the slightly unexpected direction they took with it, making you think it's the one guy for a little bit. But, when he gets the paintings from the oldguy that have the victims' DRIVER LISCENSE AND SOCIAL SECURITY CARDS, and he doesn't realize who the killer is.. YOU want to strangle someone. Namely, the writer.
