Gondry has a distinct style. Even if you don't like the script, visually it's an impressive piece of work Quote

It does hit so many of the cliches though. "Kooky" female lead and shy, quiet male lead, eho she slowly gets to break out of his shell. Nonlinear narrative, which has a become an overused storytelling mechanic. There is a reason these have become tropes of these big budget indies. Quote

Clementine is not a manic dream pixie girl as you seem to be saying, but yes a lot of indie films seem to have based characters on her but only from the first third or so of the movie while completely ignoring that in fact she's the complete opposite when you see her true self.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 26, 2019 Paid Members Posted July 26, 2019 Speaking of Clementine. Said song by Mark Owen is lovely. Quote

It's kinda funny that term is based off of Kirsten Dunst in Elizabethtown, and wasn't a thing when Spotless came out. Quote

I think it is different, but it's subtle. It seems to be that Coke are trying to torpedo their chief product for the sake of getting people to like the diet / zero range - the smaller tin sizes, the machines that won't give you extra flavours for the classic product and the similar effect in shops - I haven't seen classic coke with vanilla in shops since the tax came in effect.

The price certainly hasn't gotten any smaller. Quote

Merzbow Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Cupcakes are often a bit shit really, how did they become so fashionable with seemingly every middle class mum named Susan starting up a business selling them? Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 30, 2019 Paid Members Posted July 30, 2019 They are shit, mostly air. Quote
deathrey Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) I don't know how you can say cupcakes are mostly air? They are mostly icing, and they are shit. Who wants a fuckton of icing and very little cake?! Edited July 31, 2019 by deathrey Quote
Otto Dem Wanz Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 It always seems to be buttercream icing too, which I loathe Quote
