Definitely! I noticed that right away with Brad Pitt. Do you think that's
why Redford cast him in _A River Runs Through It_, because he really wanted to
play the part himself?

I have seen that movie 10 times.
Ever had "Add it up" sung to you?Even know who did that song in the first
place? If that scene didn't bring back high school memories, you can't relate.
Ever played drinking games round a coffee table?
Ever been in debt up to your eyeballs and paid it off using a credit card?
Ever had slacker friends and non-slacker friends live in the same house?
Ever been the fuel in the engine that powers your best friend out of the
closet? Ever made video's of your friends that you cherish? Know all the words
to the SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK series? Ever try and be friends with someone you are
completely in love with?
When you do, when you can relate...watch it again.

Nope, sorry. Done that, been there, know all about Schoolhouse Rock (I'm
only a bill, yes I'm only a bill). Same generation, vastly different
people. There you are. The movie bored the living hell out of me,
frankly. Two whiners dumping their problems on everyone else and doing
nothing to help themselves.
To be completely honest, after seeing the thing I was offended the media
thinks we're like those flimsy characters. They've been watching too
much of that Mtv "Real World" propaganda.
...IMHO.

Thanks for bringing that up. I found the movie's attitude to be a little
offensive as well. It was just SOOOO slick and SOOOO full of itself (from
the performances right down to the narcissistic self-awareness of the
film itself) that it couldn't make contact with anything resembling real
feeling. Putting the Femmes on the soundtrack and resurrecting
Schoolhouse Rock doesn't get you anywhere by itself. And there are plenty
of other movies out there about unrequited love, friendship, changed
relationships, and youthful directionlessness. I agree that our
generation needs spokespeople, but not these.

just every female sterotype that they could think of: Stupid pregnant

movie full of cliches - and I prefer Roy Orbitson's rendition of "Anything

20-somethings (and more entertaining too).

Would you happen to know who sings the song in the trailer? I

I don't remember which song was in the trailer....but the movie in general

Bonnie Raitt..
Brad Morris
The reson Reality Bites was so bad is that it took every Generation X
cliche and tried to cram it into one movie.
Shall we list them...ok...here are the ones I remember...
Yuppie scum tv producer
Go no where rock band
Group of friends that say witty things
Brillant philosipher outcast
Unable to hold down jobs
Love interest between friends
All of these are stereo typed cliche...the whole movie was an amalgum
of stereo typed cliche!
And the thing that really gets me about the movie, which had no plot
except to show us cliche, was that the major plot device is that Winona
is a brilliant video maker that cannot get her chance. But everything
we see her film is stupid cliched Generation X babble. Are we supposed to
believe that everyone who saw these clips would immediately say that she
has tons of talent?
All in all, pathetic. And yes, I am 25...been there, done that.

Well,
After reading these obviously ridiculous comments on
REALITY BITES I have to say this:
- The movie's far more realistic and describes our
generation much better than SINGLES for example
or BODIES, REST AND MOTION ...
- The actors were all normally played and the movie
was not about some two whining people laying their
problem on everyone els ...
- The script, the dialogues, relate far more to real
life than Q. Tarantino's scripts (Helen Childress
did a marvellous job, but I must say that I really
loved Q.T.-script ... brilliantly written and much
fun)
- Of course we have different opinions, but I find it
hard to believe that our generation (X- or whatever)
can really be offended if the media compares us to
the characters in the movie. Believe it:
- a lot of our generation's parents are divorced
- there are groups of friends like in R.B. in
the world today
- people are trying hard to make it on their own
(especially after graduation)
- our generation's search for identity has been
going on for several years and it has made us
very confused (which explains the X-...)
- Ethan Hawke's character (and Winona's, Ben's...)
can be so easily found in the society today
- ....
Yes there are lot of things in REALITY BITES which made me
think: "At last, here is a great "interpretation"(?) for my
generation. This is so like real life!"
Plus: (last, but certainly not least...) the songs in the
picture are brilliant -- that is, Reality Bites has probably
the best soundtrack (collection of brilliant songs) that I
can think of (along with Forrest box of chocolates Gump!!)
I'd better quit now, the thin ice I'm standing on is
cracking ...
Regards from Iceland,
Doddi (a true R.B. fan!!!)

While we're on the subject of Gen-x ish films, I thought I'd mention
another couple: Before Sunrise & Spanking the Monkey. I thought BS was
one of the better 20something representations I've seen. The script was
intelligent, the story unconventional, and the movie managed to avoid (or
mock) lots of the cliches that Reality Bites subscribed to.
(I still, in a stupid hollywood kind of way, liked Reality Bites,
but it's a rental at best)
I was depressed by Spanking the Monkey. No happy ending, and the lead
character's an asshole, regardless of his personal problems. But I've
read some criticism that argued it was this whole generational metaphor
about boomers who won't let go of their youth --> I should probably see it
again.
Singles was way cool, by the way. Perhaps a little bit yuppie (main
characters are successful professionals, remember) but still likeable.

How about Murray Hamilton (the mayor in Jaws II) and Hal Holbrook. Also the
actress who played Lois Lane's cousin in Supergirl looked not surprisingly

***Slight spoilers to follow, won't ruin it for you though, the plot is not
revealed***
Just rented the 'Directors Cut' of "The Color Of Night" with
Bruce Willis. For months, I've read how the director (Steve Rush?)
was so upset with the way the studio pieced the movie together
and cut out several scenes that he felt were crucial. If everyone
remembers, the movie went through several edits before landing
an R rating because the ratings board thought the movie was too steamy
and kept slapping it with an NC-17. Now comes the movie on video
that has a disclosure on the front of the box that says 'The Directors
Cut with 15 extra steamy minutes'. And steamy it was. Strangely enough,
this version was rated unlike other movies that carry the banner 'Directors
Cut'. The board decided it was worthy of an R now. Which is shocking. This
has to be one of the most explicit R rated movies I've ever seen. Several
seconds were added to each love scene. Including a brief shot of Bruce's
Willie in the underwater pool scene. No shrinkage problem here. The man
is in the wrong indrustry. He should try adult features. There's also a
scene in which they show him walking up to the shower stall (nude), turning
it on and running over to the closet to put on a pair of jeans. He wanted his
girlfriend downstairs to think he was in the shower while he spied on her from
the top of the stairs. In this scene, before he dressed, you really couldn't
see anything, don't know why this was cut out in the first place. There's also
a lesbian scene between Jean March and Leslie Ann Warren that was restored that
really wasn't necessary. They hinted at an attraction between the two of them
much earlier in the movie.
All and all, there is no difference in the structure of the movie. I don't
know why the Director was upset with the way it was put together overall. It's
not a very good movie either way. But as the USA Today put it, it is 5 star
trash. Kind of like "Melrose Place" with flesh.
