Slacker, OTOH, was an annoying piece of shit. Its Linklater's Eraserhead.

The flow of Slacker, from the sort of tag-you're-it plot of changing storylines, was really different than anything I'd ever seen. It was great. D&C was very good, but not anything great or different.

Detroit Rock City? Its a cheap rock and roll knock off of D&C.

C'mon.

you didn't cheer when the bullies got arrested and lost their KISS tix? You didn't like when the repressed boy had sex in the confessional?

And I see no reason Farrell could not pull of Ignatius. What I wonder is why Ignatius is such a revered character to so many. He's funny, and the book is terrific, but he's really unlikeable. So if you hate Farrell, then he'd seem to be perfect for the role of Ignatius.

He's as broad as Fringey's backside. Ignatious is subltely and hatefully nuts. The bad-guy from Zoolander or the streaker from Old Skool aren't Ignatious.
