Dude, you do know that rap was a joke, right? Did you read the last line?
You guys are insane. 😂
Congrats, hownos! :D
While I agree it was a black comedy, this is one that was so difficult for me to watch that I doubt I will ever see it again! It was too intense. Great movie, but once is enough for me.
I can understand why some people thought it funny -- or at least had dark comedic elements -- but I found it terrifying.
I haven't seen this one since watching it in the theater, so I don't know what my reaction would be to it today. I did love it in the theater.
I am sure I will eventually see it again. I generally like anything Bill Murray does, at least from what I have seen of his.
Welcome to the forum!
I love puzzlers like these.
I didn't find your movie, yet, but I found some with the same theme. I realize you weren't looking for suggestions -- but these look good!
Eagle vs. Shark (2007) -- It was a New Zealand film (I haven't seen it myself) but there is a kid in it with long hair and glasses. Not sure if he is as socially awkward as the kid you are describing.
YouTube trailer for it:

The Forest for the Trees (Der Wald vor lauter Bäumen) (2003, German)
A couple of brief video clips:

It deeply affected me because I grew up in the 1960s in the Deep South. Actually, I will probably start a thread underneath the movie, as this movie deserves to be discussed.
Books are usually better, but I quite liked a lot of the actors here.
I liked Kyle Johnson as Newt, Estelle Evans as Newt's mom (who was also in "To Kill A Mockingbird"), Mira Waters as Newt's girlfriend. Most of the cast did a good job. I thought Alex Clarke was good as Marcus Savage although the crying effects (fake tears they put on his face in many scenes) were unnecessary. And the blind man's glasses bugged me a bit as they looked like something John Lennon would wear -- they probably snagged them from a dime store since this movie was made in the 1960s and that style of glasses was popular.
I would not want to see this film remade. First, they would never use n*** now even though it clearly WAS used, but no, let's pretend that never happened and erase history so society can't learn anything from its bad behavior.
Second, the film's raw nature and beautiful scenery (even when human ugliness interfered) could not be duplicated today, in my opinion. The fair scene was an actual fair and it looked like one. The clothes and hairstyles looked as they should have for this period drama.
Painful, heart-wrenching. Unflinching look at brutal subject matter. It was well-cast and beautifully filmed by writer/director Gordon Parks, the first black photographer of "Life" magazine. Kyle Johnson's portrayal of the young protagonist Newt was sensitive and believable.
One of the first 25 films to be nominated for the National Film Registry, in the 1980s when film restoration and preservation efforts finally began to take hold.
It had aspects that reminded me of "To Kill A Mockingbird."
Can you kindly put that part behind spoiler tags, or with a big spoiler warning?
Thanks for being more specific about the area in the movie; if I find anything out, I will post it here.
I love the interplay between Jack Cassidy and Peter Falk.
Found the links to the individual episodes: they were somewhat buried here because when searching for "Columbo" they did not appear:
Murder by the Book:

Now You See Him:

Publish or Perish:
[url]https://moviechat.org/tt0071349/Publish-or-Perish[/url]
They are searchable when searching for the title; just not with the word "Columbo."
Jack Cassidy was the best villain!
Even after so many years, it is almost unbelievable that he died at only 49 years old.
I didn't realize that Peter Falk directed an episode! I will have to look for it. Chances are I have probably seen it since I rarely missed anything of his!
Addendum to previous post:
Apparently Conan signed another 4-year deal with TBS last May -- although it sounds like he'll be "getting out from behind the desk" more often to pursue "digital venues, podcasting, mobile gaming, pay TV, and live tours." I am at least relieved that he will still be there and hopefully entertaining us for many nights/years to come.

In the late 70s and 80s it was arcade games like Space Invaders, Pac Man, Asteroids, and pinball machines! Glorious pinball machines.
In the 90s some of my favorites were Myst, Riven, The 7th Guest, and Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time. My dad was into Doom.
Lately I've been into Hearthstone, Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm.
My best gaming experience was either the arcade games of my college days or Myst. My dream would be to have a whole room of pinball machines! Myst was cool, too.
Hahaha!!!
LOLLLLLLLLLLLL

Beyond the walls of movies, life is defined.
I think of rap when I'm in a Moviechat state of mind.

My tree don't like no dirty me.
Run up to the sea and get the hyperbole.
In a Moviechat state of mind.

Yea, yaz, in a Moviechat state of mind.
When I was young my mother had an aurum.
I waz kicked out without no jorum.
I never thought I'd see that joram.
Ain't a soul alive that could take my mother's quorum.
A shizzle map is quite the rap.
Thinking of rap. Yaz, thinking of rap (rap).

If this makes no sense, it's because I don't like rap and I used a rap autogenerator to create it. :D
