Slacker - Directed by Richard Linklater

[k97cross]

This is the best and my favorite vignette from "Slacker."

[Whimzy74]

In all my dreams I am a roadie for Frank Zappa

[theevilfed]

Anyone who thinks this is interesting...

Watch the music video on here for "Spirits In The Material World" by the Police. Watch the end of it, which is pretty much just the drummer talking. I swear he talks in the same exact way and even sounds like Linklater right here. Just a thought maan

[WVliberty]

just like waking life almost at the begining with out the animation

[goodvibesallround]

A whole generation with the brains to make a difference but lacks the motivation.

[goodvibesallround]

its amazing 20 years on and this film still has influence. To be honest i see no difference between today and the early 90's but music and governments.

[freeskier80]

this is pretty f'ing funny

[Silvertrine]

Stress is for losers. Rock on slackers!

[CosmosPrivateer]

The next time I get to the end of my drive I think I'll go the other way.

See what happens.

[peterhndz]

but what if you kept going instead?!?!?! ahhh!!!!

[BklynKing143]

@CosmosPrivateer LOL! DO IT!!!

[CosmosPrivateer]

@BklynKing143

I did it but it just took me longer to get to work.

Peace

[BklynKing143]

@CosmosPrivateer Aha!!

[mgnssss]

fucking love this

[SadClownMovies]

he's a really good director, makes very interesting and enjoyable movies. seems to be getting better.

[BboyStance1211]

awhh man...

[dddproject]

is rich linklater related to art linklater

[NoseEverything]

It's Art Linkletter, and no, there's no relation.

[amberhateyou]

Richard Linklater is a genius !

[amberhateyou]

I think I tried to get it with torrents but I didn't find it.:)

[merritttheferret]

@amberhateyou

Buy the Criterion 2-disc edition, it's totally worth the 30 bucks.

[thjmcd]

is his idea of the different realities based on any other philosophies?

[DudeFromSpringfield]

Yes, quantum immortality and parallel universes. Look up Hugh Everett, very interesting stuff

[hendrixonlsd]

yeah, i saw this documentary with E from THE EELS and his dad is Hugh Everett. all that was very interesting

[VomitSelf7]

i've had similar experiences

[DartmouthAlum96]

"How often do you read in a dream?" Hilarious and pricelss. I love "Slacker"!

[darmokthegreen]

@DartmouthAlum96 When I dream that I have something I need to read, I'm rarely if ever able to read it. I dream that the light is too bright for me to see anything.

[katards]

Shit, I should have stayed at the bus station.

[mcparham]

i think linklater had to have meditations on the first philosophy..lot of the stuff he talks about seems to be stolen from descartes...i still applaud him for giving 20 somethings an intro to philosophy in all his movies..

[sloeber]

stolen is a harsh word for popularizing great information...

[watashiwanachodes]

besides he's not stealing anything most of what he says its around that subject but he's got a different perspective whatsoever. read the "meditations" for furthermore reference

[lamanjello]

well aren't you a beautiful bumblebee butterfly on the rocks

[cpdavngr]

I love this film!  TFP! :)

[Mallard42]

Roy's taxi. Best cab company in Austin

[midtablesam]

Just out of interest, is Roy's taxi a real firm?

[scunes]

na sorry

[Matika]

the taxi cab is like: What a fucking nutcase!!

[paintbokx]

no he's like, wait, you're kinda broke? I hope you can pay the fair

[Matika]

hahahaha

[sydbarrett5]

When he was talking about a separate reality where he didn't take the cab, I expected the cab driver to say "I like that reality."

[Matika]

hahahahaha

Syd barret is fucking awesome by the way.

[sloeber]

rofl

[cvjucla3]

Yeah, or, I can see the cab driver saying, "I wish that he would have chosen that reality."

[cojudo4life]

LMAO

[filmmaker89]

He got all of that speech in one take without cutting or anything...Cool!

[chumbersdee]

Every commodity that you produce is a piece of your own death.....end of interview!

[MikhailMarx]

At least I know where the concept of Waking Life came from. It was probably always in his mind he was just waiting till he got a few movies under his belt.

[zombiemonster]

pure genious

[IBMeddling]

pleae post the ending of this movie. (the last ten minutes)

[vikingheads]

its my fave out of all the linklater films

[MarvinMonroe]
