I saw this movie last night, and it won some major awards at Cannes from what I understand...but I just thought it sucked. It was boring. I was looking at the condensation form on my glass of water more than I was this movie. It's supposed to be a Columbine-style high school, with kids going through their lunch hour, and then the killers kill them. I don't understand what the point was suposed to be - high school is hard? You never know when/where it's going to happen? Blame it on the bad parenting and video games? I think this movie was made for Europeans, so they can understand what a typical American high school is like. But my school was nothing like that. I thought it was exploitative....written and directed by someone who wasn't there, full of speculation (or none at all), who's then showered with awards and praised as a genius. Give the money you made to this piece of shit to the parents of the dead kids - I'm sure they just loved this movie. Did anyone else see this movie and love or hate it?
That's so NA.

i did not like it at all. i was very disapointed with good ole Gus. the idea seemd played out and very un-realistic. even though we know something of that magnitude can happen...the idea came off as very far-fetched and disorganized. plus...very boring.
We have about 1500 songs.....all of them good!
