Hey all. I just finally watched Thumbsucker, and I have to say it was one of my favorite tiny budget movies. Maybe I am slanted because it was partially filmed in the town I grew up in (Representing Beaverton Y'all) 2 specific Pac moments made it badass for me:

#1- the mall that the Mom and Kid are walking through in the beginning is the Mall I worked at throught HS. (that would be Washington Square, Nordstrom to the left, Newport bay to the right...)

#2- the dentist office that the 3rd itteration of Keanu Reeves works at at the end of the flick is Dr. Clark's office, the dentist I went to during my grade school years. I can still smell the "Highlights: for Children" magazines in the lobby...


Outside of that, it was just a friggen fantastic exploration of what makes us unique and individual and all that touchy feely stuff.

Are you serious about the Washington Square portion of the film? That's freaking awesome since I'm just over the interstate from it.



Oh, I know this may be slightly off topic, but Pac, have you ever been to the Korean Karaoke over by Uwajimaya in Beaverton?
