Slacker: A Uniquely Weird Movie

Slacker is a weirdly amazing film. I had the urge to talk about this movie after watching it recently.
Let me know: Have you seen it? Are you gonna watch it? What did you think about it?

Thanks For Watching!

Maybe Gummo (1997) would be something for you.

this movie has a prequel the idea is you get high, watch Richard Linklater's "Waking Life" then you get high and watch this and you start to see the parallels in the movies. That's why these are cult classics, they're talking about alternate realities and parallel universes.

One of my favorite movies.

Great video, Increadible film! subscribed.

Saw it when it came out. It's odd because it convinces you that nothing much is happening, yet the second scene is the aftermath of a murder, the next-to-last scene is someone calling for free distribution of weapons to create an orgy of violence, and in between there are two near misses on mass shootings -- the crazy car driver who commits suicide and the grad student who takes hostages on campus and gets killed by a SWAT team -- both of which appear to have occurred that very day. There's a sense that violence is a constant presence but isn't real to the people in the film because, as the nutty TV guy says, it's not on a screen.

So I was 20 years and I ordered stacker to the video store. I own it and watched it 40 times.

I'm 54 now and you nailed it. Get your $23k together, we got art to hatch out!

[@carpenoctem775]

It’s a pretty good indie classic.

I love this film so much

[@IsThisRealLife23]

Your assessment is accurate. Remembering trying to get my local video store to get it and rented several times when they did.

I am not watching this video, just commenting that this movie is sacred and unworthy of any analysis from a fragmented pinpointed human turd. I don't even like what Richard Linklater says about this movie. I don't think even he knows how awesome this film is. But I do. This is The Greatest Film of All Time. This movie is so good, that I have to cringe in anticipation of anything said about it, since whoever is saying it just doesn't get it. You think this movie is some odd curiosity or some such nonsense, and I won't take one second of anyone nerfing this Amazing Film with their less than worthy tired analytical banter.

Kinda cool that so much of your commentary could apply perfectly to Jame's Joyce's Ulysses, which I would contend is the film's main inspiration (one section of the book specifically, and also the 24 hour structure). Linklater has never expounded on the subject much in the interviews that I"ve seen/heard/read, but he did allude to it in the Slacker commentary, and if you have a character straight up read a passage from a book in your movie, there's a good chance there's a pretty strong connection.

[@TruestPicture]

Interesting. I haven't read it but I'll definitely add it to the list.

[@herbertquain6875]

The section referred to as "Wandering Rocks"...very similar type of structure. Love it that people are still discovering Slacker. @@TruestPicture

[@D.B.Cooper..]

Bro I am a huge fan of this genre and one of the most awesome indie flicks I sawon a somewhat similar theme is 'Tangerine'.... Pls do a commentary on that
