Watched this movie last night. Life changing. Just... woah. A beautiful piece of sociology in a largely bohemian early 90s sect of society. Fascinating and beautiful piece of film.
This is insane. Just that woman would be insane enough. "You never. You never, no. You never know". But the quit following me guy heightened everything.
I think about people like Richard Linklater and see how they are very similar to authors like David Foster Wallace. They were so intelligent that they just noticed things and couldn’t look away from the strangeness and disjointedness of the society around them. Regardless of what you think of them, they were all fixated by the problems of modernity.
@@bronsondeliac2625 It used to be a quirky small town with a lot of unique people and unique places. It had a unique vibe that is pretty well summed up in this movie. Now it is packed with people and money, and all of the small businesses have been replaced with corporate chains, and houses have been replaced with towers. It now just looks like every other American big city. There's a documentary on TH-cam called Viva Les Amis that does a better job of telling this story of Austin then vs Austin now.
I just knew this had to be shot at what is now the Counter Cafe, 626 N. Lamar. A quick Google of "slacker shoot locations austin" turned up a Chronicle article with a map and descriptions of many of the locations, including confirmation that this scene was indeed shot at 626 N. Lamar. The fare at the Counter Cafe is excellent, by the way, and I recommend it highly to residents and visitors alike. You should never stiff your server on the tip, though. I should know; I'm a medical doctor.
Ah, the GM Luncheonette. It was between my freshman and sophomore year when they were making this film, and I thought, wow, the UT RTVF department sure is active. Also, this woman (who was always hilarious and completely sane) used to work out at the same little gym I did, on Guadalupe, near the old Amy’s Ice Cream. We were always on the stationary bikes at the same time. Nice lady
this is the only linklater film i can stand. the rest are really just more of the same, but with the same characters yammering on through the whole two hours. at least here you get a fresh set every so often. genius really. he should do this again, and not bad news bears II.
poor dude hes all frickedout from all these wackos.. my favourite scene its the very first one ... the whole reading in a dream and the alternate realities theory. awasome this director.. RL
heh. I always think of this scene when I run across people on social media who claim to be medical doctors, but don't even know grade school level basic biology.
Rhetorical question, but is it any wonder that the same town that spawned this film and its director is the same town that gave us Ministry and The Butthole Surfers?
An extremely important 🎥. This 2 min scene managed to provide lifetime inoculation frum SJW feminism despite nearly 7 yrs of direct exposure 2 Liberal Arts Educ. Shud b mandatory viewing for female college admission. Thank u Mr Linklater. Thank u "Traumatized Yacht Owner."🐭
A man being harassed by a mentally ill female's delusions, the woman professing false authority, a figure of actual authority telling the calm man to 'cool it down,' and a sign in the back saying "USA TODAY." This isn't a parallel, it's a fucking prophecy.
Hail Victory You love the idea of a woman, but in actuality a woman is an individual person with their own dreams, desires, will and agency, and you hate that because it means you will never truly possess a woman.
SJW's, in a nutshell... This movie was filmed in Austin, I live in Austin, and I meet random women arbitrarily spewing this same whacko crap in public all the time.

You should never name things in order.
The Poi Dog Pondering guy sets the world record for fastest time finishing a coffee.....
My favorite sequence; she is just fantastic here. Apparently, her parents got letters from concerned relatives!
i think about this on a literal weekly basis. i should know.
Haha! I love it -" hey cool it down over here." Meanwhile crazy lady at the bar is about to blow a gasket!lol
its like a scene out of my own life
The town that I live in has this kind of "feel and vibe" to it! Shout-out to Florence, Alabama!!
Cool it down over here!
"You heard me......QUIT FOLLOWING ME!"........ mucho thanks to the uploader
I like to eat at this place when I can.
BEST SCEEN IN THE MOVIE!!!! Thanks for posting it. The version I posted really sucks.

Holy crap, it's the singer from Poi Dog Pondering!!
Such a classic. It makes me sad to see what Austin was, considering what it has since become. That scene was shot in the old GM Steakhouse.
What has Austin become? What was it then? Not familiar with Texas subculture

@@dangeroso121 Ah, interesting. Essentially that's gentrification right? Although probably the same ethnicity
@@bronsondeliac2625 Yes gentrification, but cultural as much as economic.
Oh. Yacht.

Do you own a mansion and a yacht?
But of course

Part of that quote is from Bugs Bunny.

My favorite scene. Thank you, uploader! (Now I want to make an "Austin's finest hour" joke.)
You never know.
I do miss having lunch on North Lamar in Austin across the street from the State Hospital back when they still had patients living there.
I delivered pizzas there in the late 80s and early 90s
Linklater should stop traumatizing viewers with film 'a clef repetition therapy. I should know; Now I can't get this scene out of my head.
This woman would go on to become an active Twitter user

...or were allowed to own/operate Yachts without SERIOUS supervision, but then-again...Rainman was an Excellent Driver....
I just watched this movie for the first time on acid and this scene fucked me up.
I'm related to two people in this clip
poor dude hes all frickedout from all these wackos.. my favourite scene its the very first one ... the whole reading in a dream and the alternate realities theory. awasome this director.. RL
yep, me too...
heh. I always think of this scene when I run across people on social media who claim to be medical doctors, but don't even know grade school level basic biology.
I didn't get that at all
Poor Frank...
Shoe tim end uh hayud
Holy cr@p! It's Christine Ford and her entourage :o
@Jeff789654 That's the first thing I thought of too.
Rhetorical question, but is it any wonder that the same town that spawned this film and its director is the same town that gave us Ministry and The Butthole Surfers?
Sheesh, when was this filmed? 2017?
1989
I didn't know Jill Stein was in this movie.
Whoa. A liberal!

Did you appear in Slacker too?
i remember being a kid thinking this was the stupidest film i had ever seen. As an adult, I wasn't wrong.
Feminists are like this broken record
Modern day feminism in a nutshell.
What the fuck are you talking about? This has nothing to with feminism.
A man being harassed by a mentally ill female's delusions, the woman professing false authority, a figure of actual authority telling the calm man to 'cool it down,' and a sign in the back saying "USA TODAY."
This isn't a parallel, it's a fucking prophecy.
Thanks for telling me the man with a swastika avatar is a nazi.
I love women. I honour women. I cherish women. Feminists hate women even more than they hate men.
