TNL Movie Club - Gerry

Originally posted by Wikipedia:
Gerry is about two driving companions, both called Gerry. "Gerry", a slang term used by Matt Damon and Ben and Casey Affleck meaning "screw up," [1] is used several times in the film as a verb or adjective and not a proper noun. Van Sant revealed in interviews that Damon and Affleck used the term before the movie had even been named.[citation needed] The characters are apparently on a hike to view a "thing" at the end of a wilderness trail, but after some walking, talking, and a short foot race they agree on their mutual disinterest in the site and decide to turn around. They soon realize that they are lost in the desert.

The actors and director in this get a lot of flack for a lot of reasons, but this movie is on great (great on) drugs. Watch it after taking some Tylenol PM or other downers - you'll be hypnotized.

I tried to watch this once and wanted to kill myself four minutes into the silent walk across the desert scene which stretched on about an additional four minutes past my breaking point. That's some pretentious shit.

Dude, no. Those Harmony Corrine flicks are just awful.


And like I said, you probably have to be on drugs (or at least think that way) to enjoy this movie. There's hardly any dialog and almost no action.

But you'll learn fun new phrases such as Rock-Marooned and Turban-Up.
