Agreed.

And I think its a bit wrong to call us the post 9/11 generation. I think Millennial would have been more suitable and a better term.

I don't really see how post 9/11 influenced geeks in society and coming of age films. Its not like post 9/11 caused everybody to turn into a bunch of geeks.

And why do they call the times we live in post 9/11, it should be called the post millennium. Or better yet the early 2000's that sounds more like something that should be in a history book.

All 9/11 did was make it more of a pain in the ass to go to the airport, I really don't think post 9/11 defines a generation and it should not be the title of the decade.

Donnie Darko - never seen it, can't stand time loop stuff

Ghost World - never heard of it

Napoleon Dynamite - saw part of it, was bored the entire time and quit well before the end

Juno - I've heard good things about it but I've never seen it

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - the 'game stuff in reality' motif doesn't interest me in the slightest, I avoided this despite some good reviews

My favourite 'Coming of Age' movie is Ferris Bueller's Day Out. Sooooo good.

The only one I tried to watch was Napoleon Dynamite, and that was at my oldest daughters urging. She loved it, and I watched the first 15 minutes like this :blink: before shutting it off.

I've never been a fan of coming of age movies. When I watched teen flicks, it was B-rated horror movies. And I 'd get pissed every time at the chick trying to run in her 5 inch spiked stilettoes and scream at her, "Kick them off you dumb ass!" :unsure:
