 20060808 The Puffy Chair
Last night I saw The Puffy Chair at the Angelika. It's a bizarre roadtrip romantic comedy about a New Yorker ex-indie rocker who takes his girlfriend and brother on a circuit to pickup a chair he bought on eBay for his dad's birthday.It was particularly entertaining because the dialogue was overwhelmingly idiosyncratic to this time and place in my life. Plus, I was crushing hard on Katie Aselton from the start. So, highly recommended. Here's a list of release dates. 1

Pete said... Part of it might be because many young directors first film is something about his/her age group, giving those viewers something they can relate to strongly. Not just in theme but in pop culture references and mood. Kevin Smith did this with Clerks, Wes Anderson did this with Rushmore and even Martin Scorsese did it with Mean Streets. One great late-teen/20-something film i saw some time ago but keep going back to is Noi: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0351461/ 1:42 PM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
