Igby Goes Down - seen it? like it? I thought it was pretty good. Kieran Culkin looks pretty good. So, let's discuss...

How Holden Caufield was it?

I liked small bits of it (some of the dialogue was decent) but on the whole it felt suspiciously like an MTV movie or something.
I think it was all the alt-rock interludes (ie. cut to Kieran walking down NY streets while 'Why Does It Always Rain On Me' or whatever plays not so discreetly in the forefront)...

James: very.

he was less annoying than holden

But the older brother was supposed to be a smarmy SOB, and therefore he nailed it.

People have finally figured out how to cast Ryan Phillipe. Altman showed them the light.

― James Blount, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 03:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought Altman did a way better job casting Antonio Banderas.

I'm going to repost my review from the "Last 3 movies you saw in the theatre" thread:

Igby Goes Down = Terrible - should be called Igby Goes Down on Himself for it's unrelenting depiction of inane self-absorption - and that Ryan Phillip-ee-or-ay cannot act! He's proven this in several films now, so wake up casting directors. The Culkin kid is actually good, but I have absolutely no sympathy for the character

If you liked Igby Goes Down, check out Tadpole.

To even invoke the name "Holden Caufield" pays this dreadful film a high compliment it most assuredly does not deserve.

Ugh, piece of poo. Jeff Goldblum was good though. I liked it when he beat the shit out of the little asshole.
