Same liked it when I 16-22 but don't like it now mid 30s

The relationship with JD and Turk. The amazingness of Cox. The guest stars. Never a huge Elliot fan, but this show is fantastic. Opinion of course. Not every show is for everyone. This was one of the last network comedies that was truly exceptional, IMO.

It's a way to promote local culture, local industry and fight Americanization

My best friend works in the industry, in front of the camera. Saw him in October. He was and does work on major TV shows and movies. Asked him in 30 years of doing this professionally who was the worst to work with, and he said without hesitation. Zack Braff. I said no way, and he said he's acts like an entitled a hole and pretentious as hell. And I thought of 6 or 7 folks before I asked the question.

However, I still love Scrubs and Garden State, but it does make me look at a few scenes with a little more scrutiny.

I wonder why Australia has this problem but not Canada?

Didn't he say they had everything?

Scrubs is so pedestrian though

I liked Garden State when I was like 20 & heavily depressed, but tried to watch it again last year & nah

That does make sense! I doubt they would eat the high end ingredients themselves all the time!

Thanks bro, may you be surrounded by others who support you just as well.

-edit: you guys have been a fantastic mob. I couldn't have asked for a more surely sack of anti intellectualism dogpiled with angst and ignorance. You keep watching but not understanding film, and I'll keep on giggling at the wrong parts. Keep the sudsy, slippy, movie industry alive with the charity of the cutting edge of your wit.

-edit: some of of the dumbest comments here are from my alts. Can you.vote only for the real ones? Hint, I said the stupidest things.

Hmmm

The best suggestion from the discussion thread- months back- the cooks' pantry. Those are definitely items they'd have on hand for their own meals.

Death to Smoochy, seconded.

Well, as long as it's not law breaking young, there isn't a real issue, is there?

I don’t get this. For FTA it’s part of their broadcast license. If they want to use the frequencies they have to make the Aussie content. But streaming. No airwaves. It’s not broadcast. Why the hell do they have to do that.

Yes it is completely the wrong choice. The movie starts out as a funny movie about some really quirky, sort of easy going people dealing with what seems a silly issue.

All of a sudden it goes really fucking dark and you realized how miserable they all really are.

Hadn't noticed that

Zach likes young women

Zach Braff is a genius. Wish I was here was also a really really good film. Existential crises all over his films. You can tell he really has some depth to him and has a great feel for writing. His dialogue and pacing is top notch. I think an underrated filmmaker for sure.

An aside: sucks he go so much plastic surgery I saw him a year or so ago and was like ouch!

“It’s nice… it’s different…. It’s unusual!”

Protectionism is silly.

> Just because you can give a name to a character trope doesn't mean the whole surrounding film is bad as a result.

Well, yes, except this film is entirely about one man's growth - with a young woman as the primary catalyst for it - and when said catalyst is unrealistic, then the whole endeavor rings false.

> using subtleties and symbolism

There's nothing subtle in Garden State.

> The overall result is still a good film that can elicit emotion.

Bad movies can still be manipulative.

Wow, you have strong feelings. I would counter that there would have been no Scrubs without him.

JD is the most selfish, self centered asshole character and scrubs would have been a thousand times better without him

I do see this perspective, but I have a different take on it. Just because you can give a name to a character trope doesn't mean the whole surrounding film is bad as a result. Garden State cleverly depicts the transition into adulthood using subtleties and symbolism, even if some of the characters are cartoonish and unrealistic. This doesn't just apply to Portman's character. The overall result is still a good film that can elicit emotion.

I think the movie is pretty overrated and pretentious but I do like The Shins
