Hipsters take over the cinema

>>just a heads up, I’m wearing a bow-tie tomorrow and friday. I kind of want to post a picture.<<
Ooh.
Can I paste it in my dictionary under …. you know …
(Running away before violence is done.)

Actually, right now I am wearing a tie tucked in the shirt at the 3rd button, Harold. Tomorrow, bow tie. I PROMISE

It’s Harry, not Harold, Tom.
(Hmm, we need Dick.)

Gree, KJ, what’s the thread. My firewall won’t let me visit…

we need what?

KJ, that clip is fantastic.

I’m off to watch Punch-Drunk with my girl then I’ll get you-all some hipster Tie pic’s.

HA.

Harry, it was Tower Of Power doing “what is hip” live in Chicago 1977.

Wait, hipsters don’t like power pop? They are crazy.

I hope this photo posts right

damn it!

subculture sold…
they obviously knew this was going to rank in alot of money, I was so distracted and annoyed at all the hipster advertisements, that I could not appreciate the film for what it was, but instead laughed at how ridiculous it was. Some parts were funny, but overall, i think this was an easy, big paycheck for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, whose role was unfulfilling.

Back to 500 Days of Summer, I’m just glad the title didn’t look like this:

The term hipster is being thrown around so much it makes me want to puke. Any fashionable 20 something year old is automatically classified as a hipster. Older people calling the culture of a younger generation “hipster”. Anyone with tight jeans, greasy hair, vintage hats, white belts, baristas, bartenders, rude servers. OMGD. Its endless. I find these back and forth accusations to be meaniless and totally unacceptable. Why is it OK for you to be shamelessly calling people out as hipsters based on the music they like or the clothes they wear. How many people can even define the word “hipster” and if they could, how many other people would agree? Its just sooooooooooo stupid.

Clearly, Vanessa, no one is actually interested in the core topic that I wanted to address, which is not hipsters, by the way. However, what I have discovered with this thread is that the term is used in a wide variety of ways, and seems to mean a number of things to different people. Oh, well.

>>we need what?<<
No … who.
But now that I think of it …

>>I’m just glad the title didn’t look like this<<
Migod. It’s like I stumbled into a collection fo Worst DVD Covers …The CHARLIE BARTLET is especially ghastly.

What? When did Hitlers take over the cinema? This aggression will not stand, man!

Is that those Hitler cats I unleashed the other day? Pesky Hitlers.

I saw a cat like that at Hemingway’s house on Key West. The house is overrun with cats, and they all have six toes.

There are no hipsters anymore.

Only Fanboys.

And all Fanboys are fascists.

So where’s that bowtie pic?

maybe the problem is not so much movies about hipsters, but movies that pander to hipsters in a way that strokes their carefully cultivated sense of cultural superiority. the same could be said of any movie that panders to a specific audience. though i cant think of one off hand, you can certainly have a film about hipsters that doesnt pander to them. but beware of any film that contains a soundtrack by yo la tengo and features a cameo by will oldham.

i need to get a photobucket account, i guess

500 days of summer to me seems like what hollywood thinks a modern “hipster” is/would be into (showcasing the smiths, ikea, etc.). i really don’t know what or who a real hipster would be. i mean, i know the typical stereotypes and all. in my mind i think of tom waits as being a real hipster i guess.

in a way i see this movie kind of like when you see a famous celebrity wearing something that looks like they got at a thrift store. it may look like they don’t “care” about what they wear, but actually spent like $200 on that shirt. it’s all about trend. right now, for some reason, the urbanoutfitters wearing, PBR drinking, skinny jeans wearing hipster is what’s trendy. so you’re bound to have movies come out that pander to that.

The most well-adjusted children may invent imaginary friends, but only maladjusted adults invent imaginary enemies.

I live in Richmond, which is full of fashionable, trendy types- all of which call other people hipsters. I still don’t understand this word. Also, tight jeans don’t seem to be very popular here anymore. Occasionally you see a pair, but a looser straight-leg is what’s on Richmond legs these days. Someone give me a better idea of what a hipster is?

It’s simple & it’s free. Go for it.

And so some of us might look like hipsters because we can only afford to shop in thrift stores & happen to like retro looks, I guess (though I doubt at my age I’d ever be mistaken for a hipster).

Apparently it’s always what someone else is …

Ten months go by and you reincarnate this thread with questions marks? o_O

That’s better.
