I am actually really gonna make an effort to go see this...I am sorta a sucker for good movies about high school...I dunno why, maybe it's cause I have a gang of high school stories myself....but the idea of this movie (I am a ssuming it's about a shootin' type thing) hits kinda close, cause though it never happened, a went to a school where I could see it happenin'. The perfect school in a town withdrawn from reality. Sorta a touchy subject but I like the idea of Gus takin' aim at it....

release date?

I think it opens October 24th in limited release if I'm not mistaken.

I'll be seeing it at the denver international film fest (where my own short's playing, yay), and what's interesting is that Columbine is still very much the elephant around here, since me and many friends were too close to the events. I knew people who attended Columbine, I was at a high school not fifteen minutes away from it when it occurred, and there were many people affected by this event, the national repercussions withstanding, and like 9/11, it's one of those things that I think is too early to objectify, or to showcase. But I believe this is just for people who were affected. Certainly a film about 9/11 today wouldn't be in the public's best interest. I find it interesting Sant chose to do it now.

Quote from: GhostboyThat's not the one I saw.

That's the one I saw, too.

And what is your new avatar from? The same place as Banky's, I imagine? Hot damn. I like it more than the UPS one.

I need to see this...I need to pirate it so I can hold myself off til I buy it or something...I must see it!

Finn · October 08, 2003, 02:35:39 PM

Can someone post the poster that Ghostboy saw?

ono · October 08, 2003, 03:10:35 PM

That poster is simply beautiful. Man, I can't wait to see this movie.

I'm extremely interested in this film...but its hard to be living in central Illinois and want to see a film that isn't "Bad Boys II". Both American Splendor and Lost in Translation didn't come within 60 miles of me.

until the poster is found somewhere on the net, use your imagination:

1.Go to the website: http://www.elephantmovie.com/
2. Imagine the elephant in red centered on a white background
3. Imagine the kissing pic boxed and centered inside the elephant
4. Enjoy the poster
