I couldn't wait for the film to end so I could get away from her-a reaction Delpy has never elicited in me before. Over the years, unfortunately, Celine had become resentful of Jesse's more successful career. Ironically, Boyhood arrives only a year after Before Midnight, the rare Linklater effort to actively irritate me, which took me by surprise since I had found Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) such agreeable company in Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, the first films in the "Before" series. She was the Managing Director of the Austin Film Society, 1990-95.
RICHARD LINKLATER SLACKER FULL
Katie produced Eagle Pennell’s film, Heart Full of Soul (1990) was a publicist for Richard Linklater’s Slacker, (1990). Dick's A Scanner Darkly (both films feature rotoscoping, in which he animated live-action sequences after the fact). She has made over ten short films and in 2000 wrote, directed, and acted in the feature film, Portrait of a Girl as a Young Cat which premiered at SXSW. Which made him a good choice, I thought, for a suitably tripped-out adaptation of Philip K. Two of them hated it, but I've thought a lot about lucid dreaming ever since-Linklater planted that seed in my head. It was worth the wait, and that's when I decided, "Hey! I like this guy." I even liked Waking Life, which I saw with a group of friends at the Broadway Market Cinemas (R.I.P.). I remember, for instance, waiting in a line that snaked around the Neptune just so I could see his third film, Dazed and Confused, at SIFF '94 with Linklater in attendance. Considering the length of his filmography, that's a pretty good record. Based on the description on the inside sleeve of the book, I was expecting something different, I’m just a bit disappointed to find out that this wasn’t a novelization or a story and more of a rehash of the film.Since that first disappointing experience, I've seen every film he's made, with the exception of Fast Food Nation, and I've liked most of them. There are little instances of really interesting reads in the book and the whole 90’s Austin Slacker lifestyle can be insightful and relatable to a lot of people who may be interested in reading “Slacker” but there’s just not enough of that. Yeah you get to learn some of the little details of the film, but a majority of the book is just a direct script and storyboard of what was in the movie. There’s basically zero reason to read this book if you’ve already seen the movie, as it barely introduces anything new beyond some character bios of the cast and production notes from Linklater.
RICHARD LINKLATER SLACKER MOVIE
I was really disappointed to find out that this wasn’t actually a novel or story that contained the attitude and themes of the movie but instead just an in-depth look at every aspect of the movie and how it got filmed and eventually produced and distributed. There’s basically zero reason to read this book if you’ve already seen the movie, as it barely introduces anything new The book “Slacker” is basically a retread of the film of the same name written by that movie’s director, Richard Linklater. He seems to carry the same inertia in his filmmaking that he articulated in the vignettes of misanthropic youth that propelled Slacker to its iconic status in the independent film world.

RICHARD LINKLATER SLACKER TV
It goes on.like TV channel-cruising, no plot, no tragic flaws, no resolution, just mastering the moment, pushing forward, full of sound and fury, full of life signifying everything on any given day. Faustus hold equal sway over the mind, where the Butthole Surfers provide the background volume, where we choose what is not obvious over what is easy. I'm in that white space where consumer terror meets irony and pessimism, where Scooby Doo and Dr. Okay, here I am, a tired inheritor of the Me generation, floating from school to street to bookstore to movie theater with a certain uncertainty. I'm not building a wall but making a brick.

I'm what, a slacker? A "twentysomething"? I'm in the margins. I'm what, a slacker? A "twentysomething"? I'm in the margins. 21 Years: Richard Linklater is a new documentary celebrating the career of one of Americas most critically acclaimed and stylistically diverse directors.
