It’s gonna -oh fuck- take me a little while to stop hating these two people enough to invest in this movie.

I think some of their captions are wrong? #mumblecore

Thought tao was fellating megan after that jump cut and freaked out just a second #mumblecore

2 hours ago 

You can tell when they’re fucked up for real because they have fun. GR88888 #mumblecore

2 hours ago 

sometimes neither of them can help from being entertainers. which is a relief, i think, based on what people expect from both #mumblecore

2 hours ago 

on a side note thank you @tao_lin for sending me this dvd even though i lied about being on the school newspaper

2 hours ago 

okay okay they’re cute #mumblecute

2 hours ago

probably one of the most interesting things about this is the cinematography. the vantage points are really good #mumblecore

2 hours ago 

“he doesn’t get it” sorry buddy dads can be a real buzzkil huh #mumblecore

2 hours ago 

holy shit i had the same sentiment about christmas things megan and truth i still do #mumblecore

2 hours ago 

oh it’s a- it’s a laptop. i see. man now i’m gonna be sitting here worried that you’re gonna drop your fucking album #mumblecore

2 hours ago 

feel like if i killed @tao_lin and took his place that is not just an acceptable way but the only way to date @meganboyle #mumblecore

to get underneath those raybans to her cute little eye juices. we could make out with honey mustard. #mumblecore

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk #mumblecore

this situation in walgreens is getting really unbelievably terrible #mumblecore

would @meganboyle and @mollylambert be friends or bloodthirsty enemies

2 hours ago 

megan boyle is a great fucking woman because she totally conquers tao when tao starts talking like his books

2 hours ago 

pizza break!!

2 hours ago

and we’re back.

1 hour ago 

@meganboyle sometimes looks like phyllis

1 hour ago 

seems like they are being brought together in smooches by their simultaneous trying to pretend there is no camera

1 hour ago 

‘seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems seems’

1 hour ago 

if your big question about these two is the question ‘are all their friends like them’ the answer is ‘no they are the most alienated people’

1 hour ago 

mdma films presents: tristan and iseult

1 hour ago 

another question ‘how ironic is he being when they say damn and sweet all the time’ the answer is ‘pretty much not’

1 hour ago 

so i’m okay with that

1 hour ago 

i just had a conversation with karen where i couldn’t stop thinking about how i was talking just like these fucking people and that was bad.

1 hour ago 

@tao_lin is the most unexpected true proto-male chauvnist especially with his women

1 hour ago 

and @meganboyle is way better at dealing with it without losing her positioning than any of the characters in his novels.

1 hour ago 

the clips of the readings are so far the most affecting #mumblecore

1 hour ago 

hey mr skin @meganboyle gets naked at 33:11 #mumblecore #checkplease

1 hour ago 

i have definitely though the thought ‘seems like another sweet whole foods’

1 hour ago 

considering about how the highs and lows of this lifestyle are huge relatively but in contrast with others are super tiny and how the

59 minutes ago 

actually huge highs and lows of emotion would probably be overwhelming and just cause a cerebral shutdown. like huge visual stimulation on

59 minutes ago 

drugs when regular stimulation seems huge. like that. #mumblecore

59 minutes ago 

oh man i just got a deep deep feeling of apprehension when @tao_lin brings up dakota fanning from ‘richard yates’ #mumblecore

56 minutes ago 

‘how do you relate to ‘dakota fanning’ ’ auuuuuauugh

56 minutes ago 

he’s so wry he tries to escape his own snark an cleverness an humor but sometimes he cant and it peeks out right at the corners of his mouth

52 minutes ago 

i wonder if this stuff would be incomprehensible to some people. the parts that are clear but annoying, some people it might be gibberish

50 minutes ago 

fear and loathing in las vegas 2011 #mumblecore

47 minutes ago 

fear and loathing in las ass vegas

47 minutes ago 

this movie has a spike of enjoyment and after the spike it’s like, i relate to the things these two are feeling but that no longer matters.

46 minutes ago 

the purple is really good.

43 minutes ago 

this movie is offering no solutions to problems. is it “integrity” to be living as brutally with people as them? #mumblecore

42 minutes ago 

this conversation about taking things seriously is basically the nugget of the fucking problem we can end the movie after this.

41 minutes ago 

it’s the jerry moment.

41 minutes ago 

i think i’m gonna jerk it when we get to 11:00 #mumblecore

40 minutes ago 

not to the movie.

40 minutes ago 

could i do a mumblecore tv show? i don’t know. like who’s gonna yell at me about that?

37 minutes ago 

should have smoked a jjjjjjjjjjj “4” this Movie

36 minutes ago 

this purple light scene is great and i think the reason for that is that it’s two people who have managed to cut out all the one-upping.

33 minutes ago 

and then while not doing that they can just talk and not be a piece of shit.

33 minutes ago 

oh this is about them getting married? this is like the last week and a half before they get married?

29 minutes ago 

is there a climax in this thing after all?

29 minutes ago 

antiwedding anticlimax antihip

28 minutes ago 

all my friends will make fun of me for making a mumblecore serial. mumblecore cereal.

28 minutes ago 

with my flip.

28 minutes ago 

ahaha they caught me looking for a plot they are like a step ahead always.

26 minutes ago 

tax purposes

25 minutes ago 

every once in a while @tao_lin kisses her like ‘shut up babe’ and she does

24 minutes ago 

lololololol ‘maybe we shouldn’t do this thing’

23 minutes ago 

he is way more determined not to have any fun than she is #mumblecore

22 minutes ago 

a lot of blase talk about dying

21 minutes ago

i got bored liveblogging so i looked at @smichaelbrannon and his four tweets

20 minutes ago 

shots of the reverend at the desk wedding while @meganboyle is in the bathroom are probably the hardest thing to watch so far.

18 minutes ago 

it’s- i can’t help it i’ve been pavlov trained to think the systemic process of marriage is really cute.

18 minutes ago 

haha cue sound of silence.

17 minutes ago 

married.

17 minutes ago 

the reverend should write a book. the footage is so fuckd up here. is that on purpose?

16 minutes ago 

it works. it’s like the equivalent of a fade out for a movie like this.

15 minutes ago 

was that the end or was that the dvd fucking up.

15 minutes ago 

that was the third big question with an answer was how do they end a movie like this, and i guess that little whimper not bang was like

14 minutes ago 

i mean, the only way they could have.

13 minutes ago

they just sent me the email i got already so i guess i should look up the ending on vimeo, which is fine.

11 minutes ago

that was cool of them / you

10 minutes ago 

on vimeo that was the ending too. i liked it.

9 minutes ago 

right now the feeling that i’m sitting with is that so long as you frame something

8 minutes ago

you end up putting sentiment in it. and that was just the bare bones of two pretty tired people and it still really filled me up.

8 minutes ago 

i dunno. good job @meganboyle and @tao_lin . a lot of people will not like this movie but hey wow who would have guessed that.

7 minutes ago 

i liked it.
