Rushmore

[mentalchik]

Film 4 doesn't work on my telly box.............

 

[Sadken]

Parts 1-10 are on youtube! that's the entire film, I think.

 

[mentalchik]

Nah can't be sitting here watching on a tiny screen on an uncomfortable chair.............

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I think this might very well be in my top ten films of all time, I've been meaning to watch it for about the tenth time recently but can't find my DVD.

Anyway, for anyone who hasn't seen it - you should and you should do so immediately. It is funny as you like, with outstanding performances from Jason Schwartzmann as Max Fischer and Bill Murray as Bill Murray under a name I can't recall right now. You know what I mean about Bill Murray though, this is vintage Bill.

It's about Max Fischer, son of a barber going to a private school on scholarship, being incredibly clever but spreading himself too thin and then falling in love with a new teacher. There's no way I can get across to you how funny and warm hearted a film this is though and how every single scene featuring the Max Fischer Players, his theatre group is fantastically funny.

Watch it or rewatch it.

I have to agree. It is also almost certainly in my top ten. I think I am about ready to watch it again for the millionth time.

"Mmm, I'm a little bit lonely these days "

 

[Sadken]

That's fair, mentalchick.

 

[Sadken]

"The killing's gotta stop, esse, it's getting too loco. No more gats."

The scene that quote comes from and the context it is in makes me lol every time.

 

[Sadken]

Brilliant soundtrack too. It has "Oh, Yoko" on it by John Lennon, which is lolworthy.

 

[El Jefe]

Rushmore is a stone cold classic, just untouchable!

 

[Sadken]

That endorsement has to count for a lot and I welcome it.

 

[mentalchik]

I am now gonna make sure i watch this.............

 

[Sadken]

I would actually be willing to give you a fiver if you do and you don't like it, mentalchik.

[El Jefe]

there isn't a wasted moment, a surplus line. It might actually be perfect

 

[Sadken]

Yeah, I really think so too and it zips along as well. It's an absolute pleasure.

 

[Sadken]

Serious, I'm not even talking about vouchers but you must be honest.

i want to find that rude, but just can't quite bring myself to be that low.

[El Jefe]

Lost in Translation is another wonderful film, and it's absurd to think it's racist -it's about difference, not racism. It would have worked the same if Murray had been an Inuit staying in a hotel in Dubai.

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Rushmore is great, am looking forward to watching it later.

 

[Sadken]

If LIT was about Japanese people in Britain, we'd be monocle wearing top hatters and chimney sweeps with bad teeth and repressed homosexuality.

*adjusts cravat*

 

[butchersapron]

Possibly Murray's best ever performance.

 

[Upchuck]

Rushmore is a cracking movie. It is in my top 5 kimosabe.

 

[El Jefe]

"I saved Latin. What did you ever do?"

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Excellent, it's still fucking great!

 

[Sadken]

Revenge montage

 

[Sadken]

Does everyone find themselves identifying with Bill Murray in, like, every film he does, or is that just me?
