I haven't seen a single nod to subUrbia! That film fuckin' rocks!
Slacker is very good, Dazed and Confused is magical, Before Sunrise is beautiful, haven't seen and have no desire to see The Newton Boys, Waking Life was great, as was Tape.
School of Rock looks a little more comercial than most of Linklater's other stuff, but the tripple threat of Linklater in the director's chair, a screenplay by Mike White, and the almighty Jack Black in the lead role equals me buying a ticket first day, first show.
