spike jonze's awesome hipster robot movie

spike jonze and absolut vodka have created a 30 minute short film that was in sundance and a bunch of other film festivals, but now it's just been released online. you are supposed to watch it at http://www.imheremovie.com/ in order to take part in the 'virtual movie experience' where you have to 'wait in line' for the movie to begin, and it's only shown to 5000 people a day. or you can just watch it on youtube:

after watching it twice, i noticed a lot more things the second time around. there's more going on with the story than you think

I'm about a third of the way through and it's driving me nuts (do you like music? yeah I like music). Does it get better?

'hipster'

agreed, it was big time boring turbo slow, again I was really drunk drained tired (still am) when I watched this short film but it was much more interesting and emotional than all of that movie.

I stopped watching because the opening shot combined with the music made me start to cry.

that film tried to irritate me and succeeded before the end of part one.

i don't see the appeal in watching c3po trying to hit on some robot. sorry.

pussy!

why did it make you cry?

Seeing dusk/dawn shots of city streets combined with sad music tends to make me feel incredibly lonely.

Makes me aware of how afraid I am of losing my friends and loved ones.

Not sure why this particular imagery evokes these feelings though, and it would probably be boring and or pathetic to get into.

Have to note that for some reason I'm suffering from some mood swings at the moment so I'm particularly prone to feeling strong emotions, I hope it's just some sort of seasonal thing.

Normally I don't cry. (maybe once a year or less, or at a funeral)

can someone please explain to me why this movie is hipster.

I think people now use the phrase hipster for when people like something but are not sure if their peers will approve of it.

It's sort of a built in safety, if their peers do like it the person can be all 'yeah I was being ironic/sarcastic', if their peers do not approve the person can say 'yeah total hipster douchebag crap'.

Not sure though.

makes sense

the 'quirky' girl robot in the film is a hipster, and it's directed by spike jonze

good film

Good short film, wouldn't have worked at feature length at all yet the story and presentation fit the short story build so well.

Damn that's just depressing almost....

it was really nice and quite well done at points yet blatantly heart wrenching...

Hating hipster is so IDM is so hipster.

I jst watched this again, in aphex branded organic pyjamas.

if robots are hipster...

well i dunno but that dosn't make any sense

hipsters are sheep.

spike jonze is not a sheep.

he makes great movies.

hipsters can create only evil, not good.

spike jonze is not a hipster.
