Haven't seen Taxi Driver, but yeah, Garden State kind of sucks.

What? That movie is amazing.

Well, apparently the rest of the world agrees with you but I didn't like it.

but y?

it is kinda overrated but it has its merits

for me I still think Mean Streets is the top Scorsese movie

Primarily because, and I know this was intentional but,

I did like the cinematography and the way the film captured 1970's NYC.

Been waiting to see this since I read the book about 50 million years ago.
Rhys Ifans is fantastic playing Marks as is David Thewlis playing IRA man Jim McCann. But the whole film just seems rushed & thrown together, doesn't really go into depth about anything and there just seems to be a total lack of any sort of drama to it.

Disappointing.

Taxi Driver crap? Oh dear me. I will give u the benefit of youthful innocence here though. You may not have liked it but crap?

Why am I still posting here?

Rejection of the mainstream, uncaring of other people's opinions, not paying attention to racial differences, generally not following the typical behavior associated with whatever stereotype you're pigeonholed into, and even just using mostly secondhand clothes/stuff.

...No, I'm not a hipster. That would put me into a subculture, and that's just too mainstream for me. ;p

Although one of my favorite places in the world is hipster central. Really, the whole neighborhood is. Ha.

lol yeah, next he will say that Raging Bull is crap and overrated as well.

I finally got around to seeing The Expendables and I really enjoy all the little insider jokes being tossed around. It was good for some mindless action fun.

Maybe crap was a bit harsh but I did not particularly enjoy it.

Perhaps there is some important aspect of "great" film that I'm under- or mis-appreciating because I did not like "Mulholland Drive" and that was also, apparently, amazing.
