wow you guys definitely know what you're talking about! it's sick :D

anyhoo, sorry to interrupt but how about "All the Real Girls"? Does it qualify as mumblecore? when i saw the trailer for "Quiet City" it's the first thing that came to mind.

it should :) like i said in the debate above, David Gordon Green's films, especially All The Real Girls, should be the perfect example of good mumblecore. but he never declared himself part of the movement (and it should be noted that ATRG came out after mumblecore), and neither did a lot of people doing the same thing. sayang! hahaha. sana may champion na ang mumblecore!

and yes, it IS sick.

david gordon green can't be mumblecore! diba parang american urban post-college angst yan?
he's rural! and only the girl went to college from what i know! and of course he shoots on film and has a brilliant cinematographer...
(that said i haven't seen any of these mumblecore films. though i watched a few episodes of joe swanberg's terrible sexfest internet series "young american bodies" (http://www.youngamericanbodies.com/).
why do so many american movies and tv shows have to declare themselves american? parang a third of the films i read about from sundance had america (or american) in the title. olats pare. you should make a film like "filipino gangsters", "filipino rakenrol"...ay wag na lang.

yeah i fuckin link y.a.b. above asshole! you didn't read the entry no? sometimes i think swanberg makes films just so he can show his penis all the time.

actually Bujalski shoots on film, and his stuff is rural-ish, and some of his characters haven't graduated college. i think the main difference DGG's got talent.

owww! dude what if Bujalski decides to icerocket his name (and i'm pretty sure he does) and sees what we've written. goodbye, American film career.
