via Speak (2004) (TV) (which is on channel 41 lifetime now) to Steve Zahn (who I thought I recognized as McFly from Back to the Future but no guess not - where I've seen him is Riding in Cars with Boys where he was the young husband, sweet but ~useless and drug lost, to Drew Barrymore's character)
to SubUrbia (1996) (which I have not seen and maybe I actually d n like any of Linklater's films - hear about him as if he is interesting and maybe the name sounds its so I've thought maybe I just happened not to like whichever movie I was watching did not care for Waking Life and found Before Sunset awful, the dialogue offensively awfully pretentious & cliched, not that there aren't people that talk like that but I find them as is said insufferable, oh and Tape was pretty bad too!):
--Linklater is treading in some of his familiar water ... one night in the night of a group of adolescents dealing with that difficult period at the end of high school, when one stops being what one must be and starts being what one chooses to be.
huh. doesn't seem profound but maybe that's the rub. when I got to St and felt inarticulately that this is just us now, why aren't we being...? what? did I mean, why am I not being what I choose to be.
HS being what you must be.
then: it's your life. the reason to do anything is you.
