I worship Jim Jarmusch.  havent seen them but from what i understand, Dead Man (or whatever from Johhny Depp) would qualify as an ugly white person film...  It sounds like you might hate them. God, I love his movies: Stranger Than Paradise Down By Law Mystery Train Night On Earth Dead Man Ghost Dog
His new one, Coffee and Cigarettes, is coming out this month I think.   | |

sosgemini said: you know who does ugly white people movies right?
Atom Egoyan I loved The Sweet Here After and Exotica... Ugly inside, yes. I'm not a huge fan of his work. I think my favorite was The Adjuster. | |

Or a movie forum would be great. I always comb through the GD threads for movie topics. Recently, I saw a pretty good film: Me You and Everyone We Know uh-oh, that might qualify as an UWP film. Um, yeah, I definitely think it does.  | |

sosgemini said: i hate ugly white people movies
(rushmore, lost in translation, pt anderson films)... but i actually enjoyed this one.... and when i say ugly white people i dont mean i hate ugly white people...i just cant relate to ugly white people's stories.....there's no commonality there for me....and thats just a cute lil name i have for them..... and there exceptions to this rule of mine...this film being a perfect example..i was pleasantly suprised at how funny and interesting this movie was.... I loved "Rushmore" and "Lost In Translation", although I'd like to see Bill do more light stuff. Now PT Anderson...hells no! I liked "Sideways" a lot even though the people I was watching it with thought it had too much talking and only liked the slapstick parts. I liked the entire movie! Paul Giamatti was superb and I hope he continues to do more fine work like this. | |

heartbeatocean said: sosgemini said: oohh...thats funny... NO..no i am not talking about independent film...im talking about a subgenre of independent film... for the record, some of my fav films? Eve's Bayou Talk To Her Hotel Rhowanda Mulholand Dr Woman On The Verge Of A Nervous Break Down West Side Story In The Bedroom so you see, indie films dont have to star white people.....or beautiful people.... but thanks for trying to slam me... 
(damn...this site sometimes...people always trying to cut someone down...silly ass shit...) I'm not trying to slam you, but still not clear on what makes it a subgenre. Scarlett Johanssen is anything but ugly, in my opinion. Wouldn't In The Bedroom qualify as an UWP movie? By the way, Mullholland Drive is one of my top all-time favorites too. I think he also means "ugly" as in "whinny"! Too an extent, those movies are like that. I saw the most pretenious "white" movie ever not too long ago. I watch so many rentals lately, I wish I could remember it to warn people... | |

His new one, Coffee and Cigarettes, is coming out this month I think. So you are one of those "Ghost Dog" people. I was so hyped to see that movie but it was just waaay too slow! Not a bad movie, but I had higher expectations (and I made the mistake of watching it with friends who were not feeling it at all!). | |

 I just watched it tonight! It takes a while to get going - and the montages are too cheesy - but it's worth the wait.
Be sure to watch About Schmidt if you do end up liking it. That one's at least as good, if not better. | |

Sideways is easily one of the worst movies I ever saw. There is nothing likeable in the characters, but I also can't muster up enough feeling to really dislike or hate them. I surprised myself that I even made it all the way through this movie. :OjitheFanKeybumpersticker: | |

Yeah I didn't like it either...the previews for this movie were very misleading. But something kept me watching it for some weird reason. Normally I'd just fall asleep or turn it off

The funniest part was when the friend got caught boinking the dumpy waitress by her husband. Then when they had to get his wallet back. Oh wait, maybe when he got smashed in the face with a helmet!
Hey nice avvie! | |
