I don't want to go to the movies to see everyday life, that's not what movies are for. Movies are suppose to entertain and enrich, this dull slog did neither. I hated every single character, Mason was a useless twit and his mother was an appallingly bad parent. That Arquette, who I'm not a fan of to begin with, won an Oscar for this nothing performance makes my blood boil. <br /><br />I've never seen Running with Scissors though I've always meant to because of the cast, glad to find someone else who isn't a Paltrow fan!, but I haven't quite gotten to it yet. Even though the word to mouth on it has been bad those actors have to make it worth at least one watch.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-8421857885997243422015-08-24T01:32:06.680-05:002015-08-24T01:32:06.680-05:00The sister was the worst.

I absolutely loved Boyhood, I didn't find it slow and I completely just 'got' why you never saw characters again and I loved all of it's imperfections and I was able to just go with it. But I don't get why random people would start random arguments on twitter with you, that just seems petty! Like, personal taste isn't a thing?
