Well guys, I'm glad that my pathetic little life has garnered such response to my review. Mike and Dicaprio, I thank you for your comments on my review and understading where I'm coming from. My 1st thought when I wrote the review was "people are gonna think im nuts". Luckily that hasn't really happened yet. But to let you guys better understand where im coming from, let me give you a sypnosis of a day in my life. 6:45 wake up time. 7:30 out the door for school. 7:40 arrive at school 20 mintues early (in order to get a good parking spot). 7:55 1st hour starts, I sit in the back corner and talk to no one because, well, no one cares if I do or not. 9:10 2nd hour starts, see details of 1st hour. 10:20 3rd hour starts, same story. 11:00 4th hour starts, its a co-ed gym class, im the only one in class who isn't on a sports team, im ignored bitterly. 12:10, lunch, I sit in the corner, alone, and drink a bottle of water. 12:50, 5th hour starts, study hall, I go to the library and read newspapers for the entire 70 minutes. 2:10, 6th hour, I sit in front, dont talk again cause no one cares. 3:15, schools over, go to work at the office until 5, come home, do whatever homework I have, watch t.v. or movies, go to bed around 11:30. Next day, same thing.
When I watched this movie, I saw someone with almost the exact same life. Paul gets up and goes to school, and no one could care less if he's there or not, except for the girl he secretly loves. Paul gets treated like shit, just because he's a nice guy and cares about other people (just like me). Paul eats alone in the cafeteria. Paul comes home from school and goes straight to the homework. Paul watches movies and television and eats alone. I swear, Amy Heckerling looked at my life and decided to make a movie called "Loser" and got Jason Biggs to star. Kudos to you Jason, you succesfully mirrored my life on film, now how bout a share of the profits? I'd like to apologize if my life is depressing others when they read about it. I'm just still stuck on the fact that for the 1st time ever, I found a movie that mirrors my life, and I can't stop dwelling on that fact.
Dicaprio, as for you saying my review is better than your reviews and you write for a paper, well, as the saying goes "Nice guys finish last", I applied for a job as movie critic for our towns newspaper and the guy completely ignored my application. I'm glad someone appreciates my work. Thank you. |
