@movie goer i loved the movie! and he’s hot!
@confused is this post supposed to mean that the star goes to columbia, that the movie was shot at columbia, or that the movie fictionally takes place at columbia?
@fact joey is cool, though.
@fact liz straus is annoying.
@re: umm presumably, they pay him.
@umm If Max doesn’t even think his movies are good, then why does he keep making them?
@hey now! Wtf?! I actually like Swish. Is something wrong with me? They’re about 8000 times better than the place next door.
@hm The movie is not terrible; it’s actually quite good. It succeeds at being a full-on satire (for art school) where “Saved!” (for religion) tried and failed because the creators of it felt like it had to have some sort of cheesy message at the end. Art School doesn’t. It just ends up lampooning everyone, darkly and hilariously.
@thanks hey, thanks, max.
@trust me max minghella does not give a shit what anyone thinks of his movies. i’m pretty certain he doesn’t even think they’re good himself. (maybe because i’ve heard him say it)
@The truth …is that the movie sucks, Max is not cute (weird face), and Swish is terrible.
@mccain tomorrow! hey,
i don’t know if you’re already planning to cover this, but y’all should mention the wear-orange-to-protest-McCain thing happening at Class Day tomorrow (there are flyers up and such). also there’re quite a few interesting articles floating around about protests at the New School and his speech at Liberty University that pertain.
and gothamist is on it! http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2006/05/13/columbia_studen.php
@me he’s not leaving for good. just shooting some films and all of that.
they spelled your name wrong, liz!! ONE S – Straus!
@you I know who you are :)
@yeah art school was SO BAD.
@and... c) the bathrooms in joyn jay are actually really awesome!
@well, a)he’s not leaving
b)the movie is good!
@shira okay, I stand corrected. however, I was really surprised they were eating at swish. ew.
@shira I’ll probably go see it even though I’ve read those reviews… I mean, I’m sure it’s better than a lot of the other movies that seem to be out these days. I heard that he wasn’t going to columbia anymore, though.
@transferring? but why? is the combo of john jay’s crudulent bathrooms and lackluster pan-asian at swish too much to handle?
@i just saw it last night and he’s HOT but the movie sucks
