brief interviews with hideous men

So it's probably a failure if you host a screening and Q&A of your movie and the viewing group leaves not only hating your movie, but also leave thinking that you come off like an incredibly annoying person who they would constantly shit-talk if you were in their group of friends?

i saw the trailer and i am obsessed. with. how. bad. this. movie. looks. jim from the american office + DFW = ultimate depressing brofest.

emma it's really interestingly bad. like, it's pathetic. jim looks like a giant anthropomorphic ham and everyone else is a total figurative ham (only hamminess that works = chris meloni, as always, a gem). it's totally misguided and creepily sexist in the typical way where "sensitive guys" who love indie rock are always the most misogynistic of all.

also i left in the middle of the q and a because it was lots of vaguely homely nyu girls standing up and giggling and saying "hi, my name is heather, and i just wanted to let you know..."

If you want to experience these feelings again, I definitely recommend "Away We Go."

so true. lolz 2 "homely nyu girls" and i am also obsessed with how bad "away we go" looked, although jim from the american office looked fione with that beard.

i am interested to see away we go in the same way you'd be interested in, like, seeing an annoying acquaintance do a performance piece. which is, barely and smugly, but not enough to pay money for it. emma not even a beard can help his giant pliable-looking-but-not-actually-twisty-or-expressive face.
