Seen it. I really like the long camera shots and the multi-angles w/o seeing the other camera, but it was like 2 hours long and it should have been 15 minutes long.

It was *WAY* to slow, but besides that it was alright

yeah no kidding why all the sub plots with the different students, like the first kid with the long blonde hair--what the hell did he have to do with the movie?

one of the more disturbing movies i have seen without being graphic, the music helps.

didnt' think it was that bad. many people on this board might like the gay shower scene though.

That was my other objection. These kids played FPS's and are gay, so obviously they are going to shoot up their schools, right? That kind of stereotyping is terrible.

I think the idea was, like, look at all these people's seemingly random, lives and their preoccupation with irrelevancies, just like your own life, now they're all dead. And also just when death is personalised it's much more emotionally effective than statistics (like Hitler said). If this was the point of the movie, I think it completely sucked at what it was trying to do.

If I missed the point, maybe it didn't suck as much as I think but it was still boring.
