Palindromes (Todd Solondz)

[Triple A]

<img src="http://www.crankycritic.com/archive04/posters/palindromes.jpg">

This is Todd Solondz's (Happiness, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Storytelling) new movie. Just came out in NYC and LA.

Plot: There is a 13 year old girl who wants to get pregnant. Her parents thwart her attemps so she runs away from home on a journey, seeking sex and pregnancy. We follow her on her adventures. The main character is played by several actors, apparently. Like it will change from a 13 year old girl to a big fat black woman, who is still the same character in the movie, apparently.

I don't know, <a href="http://www.cinebizarre.com/pix/actors/dir_solondz.jpg" target="new">Solondz</a> is the greatest man of all time. I love his fucking movies so I went to the city tonight to go see this shit and they said the fucking projector ate the film or something!!! What the fuck. Made me so furious. It is only playing in like two theaters in the entire city too, and this one is apparently fucked up so I have to go way downtown or something to see this. Fucking bullshit. I WILL SEE IT TOMORROW THOUGH. I AM HELLBENT.

I want to see it.

[YOUR Hero]

Are they trying to appear intellectually superior in their making of this film? Why flip flop the character's identity such?

[Buzzkill]

BECAUSE IT IS ART.

[Triple A]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG just saw it. OMGGGGGGGGGGGG I LOVE IT.

So fuckign awesome. Holy shit. It was just about as good as Happiness, which is like my favorite movie ever.

Holy shittttttttt. It was so fucking amazingly weird and so amazingly FUCKED UP and so amazingly ROFL. It was the fucking perfect movie. My definition of a perfect movie. OMGGGGGG I LOVE TODD SOLONDZ.

HOLY SHIT REALLY GOOD SHIT.

Plus there were like 92735 references to Welcome to the Dollhouse.

Because. When you see the movie it will make sense.

[PapaGeorgio]

I'm a big fan of Todd Solondz as well. Did a report on Happiness for my Cult Films class. Can't wait to see this movie. I'll drive up to chicago when it gets released there, assuming it does and isn't released anywhere closer to my house.

[Triple A]

I have no idea how this film got released anywhere. It has the most ridiculous shit ever. Like has old guys having sex with 13 year old girls and kids having sex and violence and abortions and all this ridiculous shit. I LOVE IT.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Not coming out till May 13th here. God dammit I've been waiting for this movie for like 80 years.

[Triple A]

You are lucky that shit is even coming out. It is not rated or anything. Usually this shit doesn't see the light of day. I am so surprised that mad people haven't tried to protest against this or something. It is crazy how much messed up shit he puts in it. It is so entertaining.

[Triple A]

He is seriously the master of making you ROFL uncomfortably.

[Triple A]

"Can you still get pregnant when it goes in there?"

[Triple A]

Also, a retarded kid and a bunch of other disabled kids are used as comic relief lol.

[Zelda]

It is not shown anywhere around here, but it will probably be out in a couple of months at the video store "Le Septième", the best video store ever. They got every movie ever made by Todd Solondz.

[Triple A]

SO DOES TANGLEWOOD VIDEO.

[YOUR Hero]

Stop schilling FFS

[Triple A]

Stop SUCKING DICK.

[samichna]

Word, will probably open on the 29th here, cause Toronto is pritty "big" on the movie scene or w/e.

[Zelda]

SO DOES TANGLEWOOD VIDEO.


Do you have the power to decide what movies your video store buy?

[Triple A]

Do you have the power to decide what movies your video store buy?
Yeah, I tell him what to order, and how many copies, and shit.

[Triple A]

Lisa: Tough break, toots. I need a man who answers to no one -- a full manager.
Milhouse: Hachie-machie! [his glasses fog]
[back to reality]
I can help you, sir -- and I answer to no one.
[winks at Lisa, who looks confused]

[Funky Fly]

Happiness is great, but I found Welcome To The Dollhouse kinda boring. Haven't been able to finish it.

This shit sounds interesting.

[Triple A]

Welcome to the Dollhouse is great. The first time I saw it, I thought it was OK, but I saw it a second time and thought it was amazing. Third time was even better.

[Triple A]

Oh yeah, also, a little girl gets shot in the head on camera.

[Boondock Saint]

Yeah Happiness is good stuff. Hopefully check this out.

Ebert & Roeper gave it thumbs up too, for what it's worth...

[Triple A]

K just saw it again. Seriously the best movie ever. NOT SERIOUSLY "EVER" BUT YOU KNOW.

[YOUR Hero]

Was your date liking it? To me, it sounds like a risky first date movie.
