Do you think this is a good movie about writers and writing?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 30 20:38:46 2013 No.3984599 didn't have enough to do with literature. kinda cringey imo

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 30 20:53:46 2013 No.3984610 Finding Forrester is a little too cheesy. want a good movie about the creative process? ADAPTATION.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 30 20:57:48 2013 No.3984613 It's pretty good. The soundtrack is cool. You don't hear Bill Frisell and 70's Miles too often in Hollywood shit. A good movie about writers and writing? Not really. As the other guy said, Adaptation is probably the best

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 30 21:02:48 2013 No.3984621 People here like "Midnight in Paris". This is the worst place, probably on the entire internet, to discuss film--except maybe /tv/, and that's a big maybe.

>>	Maverick !!IBS5wnqlhZr Tue Jul 30 21:08:46 2013 No.3984632 >>3984426 Barton Fink would be a better choice.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 30 21:14:46 2013 No.3984651 >>3984621 Midnight Paris is not about writing, its about nostalgia. it just happens to have writers in it.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 30 21:14:48 2013 No.3984650 Stranger than Fiction was enjoyable for me.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 30 21:24:48 2013 No.3984680 >>3984427 I built a song around the titular YTMND page.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 30 21:26:48 2013 No.3984685 >>3984621 /lit/ is pretty good at discussing film and /tv/ is horrible at it unless you're a pleb of course

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 30 22:55:46 2013 No.3984995 >>3984621 I think you're distracting from a main issue... Midnight in Paris sucked balls. Prove me wrong...

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 31 01:02:45 2013 No.3985447 Enjoyable, feel good bullshit. There aren't any black geniuses coming out of the ghetto.
