Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Tom DiCillo insisted on casting the relatively unknown Brad Pitt over the objections of the producer, who wanted him to consider Timothy Hutton. Ironically, DiCillo was ultimately dissatisfied with Pitt's portrayal of Johnny as being "slow" or "stupid" instead of just childish. more

Definitely my favorite Brad Pitt movie, very cool. This film has a great humour all of its own that bounces against the bleak environment. Was good to see Nick Cave's cameo here, he is cool too. I very much appreciated the whole thing with the relationships with the first girl who soon dumps him and Yvonne who is now offering everything but unfortunately he has been scared. This film truly is a cross between Eraserfead and James Dean if you ask me, it has that Lynchian quality to it. This film got me laughing out loud which was great. Some good music in here too, timeless good music. this is a very entertaining film, it has the right tempo to keep you watching.
