Slacker

[pierreerichexum]

guy at 59.25 looks like Alexander from Saagard from True Blood but skinnier, and the weird guy/girl with the madonna pube looks like a small Bradford Cox from Deerhunter

[Godamilk]

You can see the boom mike at 25:25

[browncarp]

Continuity issue - at 1:20 he gets into taxi number 3 with whitewall tires front and rear and no sign on rear door. He talks to the driver until 4:50 when he gets out of taxi number 38 which has a blackwall tire on the front, whitewall on the back, and a "no smoking" sign on the door.

[McPfoot]

great movie

[Bennis83]

aaah, the nice movie. fine filmen sin1

[frankieicheban]

25:24 mike fuck up. ahaha

[frankieicheban]

?...hahahahahahaha

[howlermonkeysweat]

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?

[howlermonkeysweat]

Pens! wait no i mean penis

[renzoasity]

Lol, that taxi guy at the beginning is like "Cool story bro."

[gymrat7847]

@renzoasity i was thinking that same thing.

[charlessagonto]

oh yeah! bitches!

[TheGirldriver]

thank you and a million more thank you's for posting this. One of my all time favourite movies! lots of XXXXXX's for you!

[Puelof]

most favorite movie ever.

[ChristInLimbo]

@Puelof Waking Life was fucking awesome. It's also directed by Linklater, but it's rotoscoped. :3

[oddtunes]

check it out ron paul for prez banner at 58:40. twenty years ago lol

[endthedrugwarvision]

@oddtunes Imagine that. An illuminati puppet master endorsing Ron Paul. Waht are the odds?

[McPfoot]

@endthedrugwarvision richard linklater obvious reptillian overlord.

[endthedrugwarvision]

@McPfoot Right up there with Roman Polansky. But Linkletters associations with Alex Jones makes him much more scummy than anything like the Manson Massacre that Polansky set up.

[docterphreak]

35:50, you should quit, you should quit, you should quit traumatizing women sexually.

[docterphreak]

20:23, Boom is in the shot! YES!!!

[docterphreak]

20:20, isn't that the guy from the Shamwow commercials?

[TheMokk5]

slacker good name for this movie. come long way since that time. great job portraying time and some people in that time. been there. thank god for technology.

[3111s74]

just moved away from this beautiful city. it has changed so much since i first moved their. this brings back good memories of how austin used to be, but i like it better now. no city is cooler, or wierder, i wish this movie captured the true wierd of austin.

[kdsmour]

I don't understand.

[VasjaStankovic]

Fuckin' masterpiece. Whoever uploaded this is the boss.

[mynameispaul0530]

I lived in the neighborhood they filmed this scene in.  It was WAY more bizarre than the movie.

[ItzAlexSoSmile]

15 minutes in and I don't like it yet.

[letsmakeahit]

re-al-uh-tee. re-al-uh-tee. re-al-uh-tee. re-al-uh-tee. re-al-uh-tee. re-al-uh-tee. re-al-uh-tee. re-al-uh-tee. re-al-uh-tee. re-al-uh-tee. re-al-uh-tee.

[chinary8]

I hate that guy already and I'm two minutes in.

[Theomite]

God, I know so many people like the pushy asshole ceremonial leader with his pretentious sense of gravitas. A typewriter is NOT a symbol, it's a mechanism!

[GLoBeTree1]

that poor taxi driver

[GLoBeTree1]

thanks filmbuff and Oancitizen

[Toecutterification]

linklater is god

[Manuhashidate]

Great concept... bad acting (mostly)... 'mental to see Ron Paul canvassing coincidentally in the background in 1991. Script? Mnnnn... so so!

[bryncomeaux]

SORRY IM LATE, THATS ALLRIGHT TIME DOESN'T EXIST

[bryncomeaux]

ITS NOT BUILDING A WALL BUT MAKING A BRICK. GREAT WORDS TO LIVE BY

[3sixsex]

thia film is legit

[RuggedMindstate]

Comb game player...Daniel Dugan

Sadistic comb game player...Brian Crockett. haha

[Louielounge]

@15:18 "Funny, huh? Except it's absolutely true."

[BubbaNo1]

Great ending!

[Gmancrap]

Thank you for posting this!

[LFK1236]

It seems to me the thing they all have in common is that they believe in one thing, or mostly one thing, that is just so overpoweringly ridiculous to any sane person, and yet their devotion, passion, and loooong speeches does make it seem almost fair enough that they believe it.

And yet so much of it makes sense - the first thing about the smurfs for example o.O

[BubbaNo1]

@LFK1236 That is such a great point. I thank you for that - now I can watch the rest with that in mind. It gives some sort of meaning to this seemingly meaningless flick :-)

[ronbergundy]

compelling on so many levels

[qwertyuiop5127]

weird weird movie , but interesting

[hunterthompsyn]

lol at the credits

[ScaRRedIINZ]

The irony is, this film is directed by the same guy who did School Of Rock. He is, by all means, talented.

[onlizinenet3]

daveravedotnet



[KISSMYSHITE]

@onlizinenet3 wtf is this its kinda sick

[Whiterhin018]

you should quit truamatizing women with sexual intercourse; I should know I'm a medical doctor...

[maxlee7]

has its moments.. trails off in the end

[onlizinenet3]

THE BEST RENDITION OF A-TOWN

I HAVE YET TO SEE. THE FACT OF

IT BEING THE ONLY AUSTIN MOVIE

'VE SEEN WHEN PLAYING AROUND

THAT HAMLET, 1991-2 WHILE DAVE

WAS HANGING AT SAM HOUSTON STATE =)

[cheesytom1]

Mind = Blown. Well worth 1.4 hours.

[TheRushingWind]

He killed his momma! Who would go around killin dey mommas? Ohmegawsh!

[JesusKrispies]

I remember watching this as a midnight movie some years ago. Well, I remember watching part of it as a midnight movie. I am man enough to admit that I slept a bit. Saw it some years later and enjoyed it thoroughly...during the afternoon.

[6995buddydog]

thought provoking,but I thought it wasn't a very good movie.

[kewlkatt7]

you should quit i should know...

[manicshizno]

0:26:60 Is that a guy or a girl, i can't tell at all

[8499cg54]

"The best scripts don't make the best films"

Don't be tied to the 'normal' continuity of films. This is an amazing one of a kind.

[BloodSlut]

25,24 u see microphone ^^ so far im enjoying the movie reminds me of clerks a bit

[spp41]

This is the best free movie on Youtube

[FronhaGeneration]

hate indie movies!!!!

[ericpage420]

I love the guy whose scene starts at 57:42.

He was in waking life too, as were a couple of the other actors in this.

[Floydthefuckbag]

@ericpage420 He was fantastic. You just sold me to watch Waking Life

[zachwhitchurch]

the dude at 1:19:05 is my hero

[21sarajones]

i aint sure what i think a bout that started of likin it but sort of trailed off

[tonystyletwo]

whats the movie about i know a waste of my time

[zidanetriball]

Texas is a great place very peaceful

[MrNewt66]

this movie sucks

[thomasxstewart]

Disappearing, getting what desered, stupidness of peace gen, kill from behind, best plot can be foiled, waste, conning each other. not business personalities, rippers, woman whom are disintrested, blood sacroments abound.

drashek md

[27junkhead]

GRUNGE YEARS :D



[thedirtyhippie01]

Wish I could make a movie this good.

[HELLOCCCRRRAAAIIIGGG]

Boom in shot. 23mins 24secs.

[TheChas76]

This was My first taste of You tube Cinema, For a first attempt movie Ok! As a classic movie I should think That was the overall Feeling of all the cast after the Party at the end.

[MetalisLikeAwesome]

everything is connected...

[TheIWSP]

@MetalisLikeAwesome thats the point of the movie.. a crappy B movie that show a day in the life of multiple people

[LifeGivesYouSugarToo]

although this movie gave me a headache, i'm kinda glad i watched it.

It makes me feel better about our style today...

[tbailey2185]

These are basically the proto hipsters and genXers. It's kinda funny how you can find a group of people just like this still living in a lot of our major cities. They just have a more diverse wardrobe now.

[WarVideo]

Ugly people everywhere, thank goodness that hollywood at leasts puts good looking people in their crappy movies. Not like this, crappy movie with ugly people.

[kickass5]

@WarVideo and u r one of those ugly ppl. on the inside.

[WarVideo]

@heartshapedhat

WHY?

[Duckstaped]

RON PAUL 58:40

RON PAUL

[TheDepressedNinja]

I love that the biggest accomplishment of movies on youtube will probably be making spotting mic booms easier.

[alkoxy]

the book he talks about in the first scene sounds very similar to 'One' by Richard Bach.

[beamerfan]

Those are some ugly. ass. people.

[cmyers7555]

Wow...after watching this you should go watch waking life...the stories he tells the cabby are actual scenes in that movie so its like this mini universe that he builds...also hes kinda like james joyce on film its pretty brilliant actually....

[cpHiJet]

subtitulos please :c

[Brownocean]

at the first part when the guy was in the cab he talks to got-damn much man just shut up!!

[luqmanpilu]

forever young.

[fanooch1]

painful

[jeancolmor]

feeling de puls of the neibeour hood tuching all aspect of being a live today ., you'r a elit

[DreamCharades]

@jeancolmor were you having a stroke while typing this?

[jcyteh]

terrible with no sense of continuity even in the chaos!!!

[SmackPuki]

1:07:47 - 1:07:53 BEST PART of the whole movie!

[tweetysur]

this shit is gay fucken pussys

[Obsiviction]

@tweetysur Your "gerammor" is the only thing I would consider referring to as "gay fucken pussys"

[djk4tt]

58:36 RON PAUL LIBERTARIAN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

[lawrenciaj]

on 0:25:25 u can see the mic.

[chazrudeboy07]

amazin! 

[liberator279]

im a dropout and im entering my 20's soon. im not an atheist nor religious, just a free thinking man. I'm not artistic but i'm not down-to-earth either. I find myself daydreaming most of the time. The paranormal fascinates me and theres much work i have to do, yet i don't know what that work is. I wish i could obtain drugs, but my destiny does not allow it and i've learned to get high by changing the molecules in my brain. Sometimes i get lonely and think of leaving but something keeps me here.

[Trimbler00]

@liberator279 Nice. Usually I'm skeptical of people who ramble on this bathetic "molecule changing" stuff but you sound sincere. But how do you make enough money to live?

[liberator279]

@Trimbler00 i found a gold mine. literally ;)

[Trimbler00]

@liberator279 -.- seriously though

[liberator279]

@Trimbler00 the land my dad left for me is a small hill in the countryside and i found a hidden cave filled with gold :/

[mariare0]

Ima have to watch this movie when Im not sleepy...

[smith1russell2]

I adore the relaxed stream-of-consciousness this film projects towards people and society. These instant flashes of life, purpose, and focus (or lack thereof) are intoxicating and mind-altering. Neurotics and stoners, conspiracy theorists and petty thieves, philosophers and drunks; fantastic!

[Voblatheriba]

I'm not high and i think this movie is good... it that bad?

[Pct3ch]

@Voblatheriba naw.... its good both ways. ~C~

[superasianphill]

there arent that many perverts around

[dinoBIF123]

Kevin Smith fact: Did you know that "Slacker" inspired Kevin to make "Clerks"?

[Obsiviction]

@dinoBIF123 I wouldn't have guessed that. It's nothing like Clerks.

[dinoBIF123]

@Obsiviction He thought that if they could make a movie like this with such a low budget, he could do it to

[Obsiviction]

@dinoBIF123 That makes more sense.

[concretedemon777]

"Hello,is there anybody out there?Just nod if you can hear me."

[concretedemon777]

The sounds of the Beatles awoke me and I realized it was all" just a dream,just a dream,just a dream, that's me in the corner,that's me in the spotlight,losing my religion".That's me dreaming of R.E.M.

[concretedemon777]

This is my reality,that"nothing is real,and nothing to get hung about".I dreamed this while wide awake in a daydream daytrip!

[TreppilDet]

I can't say why I watched this whole movie.

I can't say what made me so interested.

I can't say how it blew my mind.

I can't say that it helped me at all.

I can't say why i loved it.

but i'm glad i watched it

[DrwipeProductions]

FUCK!..i just fucking love this movie.....infact, its my favorite of all times <3

[JaremieChance]

25:24 you can see a mic just come on the screen Lmao!

[freyamum]

however it could just be a load of rubbish - beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[freyamum]

it reminds me of an Orb song ..... it is what it is - either look to deeply and find nothing or just watch as a "piece of art" in a really unpretentious matter. Rather than being absorbed by the zeitgiest thing i am watching it whilst cookig a sunday roast - keeping it real

[JDIRKable]

...."quit traumatizing women with sexual intercourse" lol

[mickyar92]

omg im only 03:50 in nd im watchin it all xD

[700bees]

Why is it that in this movie and Waking Life (same director) certain people have almost the exact same mannerism and speech patterns??? Regardless, both movies are great!

[andromon01]

They were a lot fucking different than people are now!! o.0

[thefreetimedude]

fucken amazing......

[bobwasgugliemo]

Ah, the 90s was a simpler time :P

[mustardegg2]

the 90's............

beautiful.................

[bl3t00th]

wow XD



[wtfnamesrtaken]

look at the taxi at 1:27, then look at it again at 4:51. THAT NO SMOKING STICKER WASNT THERE!

[Brownjessea]

@wtfnamesrtaken The number switched from 38 to 3 as well. LOL!!!

[marcos20alves]

25:24 you can see the microphone at the top of the screen lol fail

[mad7fisher]

the guy who has the gun in the book store reminds me of Kurt Cobain... dunno why

[Trimbler00]

@mad7fisher That's not a bookstore that's the dude's house

[mynameispaul0530]

I lived in the neighborhood this movie was filmed in back in the early 1980's. This film almost captures the bizareness of this area - almost. LOL

[TheSweetestVegan]

This was not what I expected

[workingclasssociety]

All the spectrums of society. Old man had it right!

[ehswan]

So, I wasted some time before realizing that this film is Zionist/fascist garbage!

[THECROOKS11]

@ehswan the fuck?

[1994tgod]

i do not know what the hell is going on but im sitting here watching it and im all into it lmao

[Conjeaul18]

That Girl stole that guys magazine!!!!!! 30:50

[TheIWSP]

dude.. im only 13 mintues into this movie.. it makes no sense.. i fucking love it hahahaha

[flubbyz1]

check the end credits, Anne walker is my mom. im ruby waker

[noahsark50]

this only makes sense when Im tripping

[1994tgod]

@noahsark50 i think it only makes sense to the people that have gotten high before

[theroad2thezion]

Dear Youtube movies, Netflix.

[jleemink]

why isn't there more pot smoking in this movie? lol

[jleemink]

the only thing that made sense was the old man at 1:33

[boxinsteadyeddie]

This movie sucks. 

[ukyfug]

global warming prediction win

[jonzo22]

this is the firt movie ive watched on youtube, first of all i dont understand, can i watch this whole movie for free? and any movie? or what?

[boxinsteadyeddie]

@jonzo22 You can watch this one for free. They have quite a few free movies. Most of them aren't that good though.

[bobbybits2]

@jojoXPchristy my brain was going numb watching it. Nothing was mildly entertaining at all

[bobbybits2]

watched this film and I am not impressed at all by it, it was a lot of bollocks with no plot what so ever, do not buy it. It is the worst shit you could ever watch.

[jojoXPchristy90]

@bobbybits2 i thought my fucking brain was going to explode in the last few mins, the only mildly entertaining part was when the girl tried to sell madona's pap smear

[jaydet]

@bobbybits2 you clearly didnt get the point of the movie you twit

[bobbybits2]

@jaydet point is is was fucking shite, I wouldn't watch it again, even if there is a fucking plot to it!

[chriskimforlife]

lol that ad tried to convince me it was on my side...SKIPPED

[cheeserod87]

anyone else notice the boom at 25:24 ?

[jacklental]

for everone that wants to know this movie was made in Austin, Texas

[WopWops]

my life must be sooooooooooo boring if im watching hundreds of other peoples daily life

[joeb094]

lol the guys around 40:00 are funny xD

[zxz1997]

This reminds me of Gummo. Really liked it.

[DarkWhite25]

much like gummo best served with a dash of altered state ;)

[PYRO200055412]

Nice boom mic at 0:25:25

[BreakNeckTurtle]

Awesome, I just ordered this, youtube'd it and found out I could watch it for free, epic. O'well :]

[jeffbriggs1987]

i like the way the guy at the start pronounces reality, lol.

[arising87]

@jeffbriggs1987 that's how it's pronounced. most people replace the "t" with a "d" these days cause they're too lazy to pronounce it correctly. don't worry, I'm one of them.

[leebdough]

@jeffbriggs1987 That's the director, Richard Linklater.

[lilbruh90]

se vio el microfono como en las peliculas de cantinflas

[athena11k]

mind blown

[grunntalll]

@Cdenton95 one should always be able to do that.

[grunntalll]

@justinden99 i just want to know, what is your favorite movie?
