Just watched Bottle Rocket the other day, and it was good—people say that was one of the most influential movies of the 90s, just as Slacker was another one, although for very different reasons. Anyway, maybe you can comment on the changes cinema was seeing in the 90s? What do you think of Paul Schrader's observed "death of the existential hero—in with the ironic hero"? I hope these don't sound like too heavy of questions—just hoping to start some film chat.
