217152, Even if he's an asshole

He's absolutely right. Brian M. Palmer wrote a funnier piece about how similar Garden State and the Last Kiss are, and I think fans of his movies really have a certain kind of drama they like (I've noticed most fans also enjoy shows like Grey's Anatomy and the O.C.). I think it's sappy bullshit where he tries to trick the viewer into thinking his direction and writing don't suck by putting a pretty awesome Shins song over the scene.

Like mc delta said, I agree with the main points here. He's a far superior comic actor and his movies are/look awful (I'm skipping out on the Last Kiss because dramatic Braff/Haggis/O.C. girl is a really ugly combination). It's not hate to say that. However, the "change the music" line is so hate-filled, it doesn't really make sense.
