Only thing I remember about Garden State is Jim Parsons sitting in the kitchen wearing knight’s armor.

…after fucking Peter Sarsgaard‘s mom.
Also, the shirt that matched the wallpaper.
And an old military motorcycle with a sidecar.

I think the movie aged poorly immediately. I wanted it to be a movie I would watch over and over but with my second viewing I was kind of well ick. I think it really only works once.

Yeah, I think the movie (Zach Braff) thought he was way more profound and interesting than he actually was.

I was in college and probably trusted that Zach Braff was more profound and interesting than he actually was at the time.

It’s all a bit too suburban emo for its own good.

Don't remember the movie at all but without including the "Such Great Heights" cover, not sure Iron & Wine would have had the career or success he's had, so I'm thankful for that.

And Bilbo Baggins as his dad, and his mom died from tripping over the door from the dish washer...
Also this movie introduced me to Nick Drake. So I can thank it for that.

this reminds me a bit of another soundtrack, that was really good for an mid 00s perspective attached to an absolute dog shit film.
Do you recall the soundtrack the Josh Hartnett romantic thriller, Wicker Park?
They were both released in 2004 too.

I believe Curtis Mayfield's Pusherman plays in the background during one of the party scenes (maybe with the shirt). I remember being transfused because it sounded like Eminem's I'm Shady, only to later make the connection that he sampled it.
Basically from what I'm hearing is Garden State is actually the most influential movie of all time.

Volkswagen was my introduction. I still find this commercial absolutely tranquil.

That's Veto Cornelius to us that don't really watch LOTR! And I thought she fell down the stairs? Or got pushed down the stairs?

I think when he's talking to his dad he talks about a piece of plastic on a latch and as a kid he pushed his mom who tripped over a dish washer door and got paralyzed?

Oh yeah. that does sound kind of familiar. That's how she got paralyzed but not how she dies if I remember correctly. Glad we got that figured out.

Thanks to this movie and He Got Game, where Jesus Shuttlesworth's mom dies after getting pushed over a dishwasher door, I'm still super paranoid when my family is in the kitchen when I'm doing the dishes. Might as well be playing Russian roulette with that door open

When I was little I fell and had to get stitches while playing Wheel of Fortune with the spinny thing at the bottom of the dishwasher. I almost poked my eye out. Those things should be outlawed!Thanks to this movie and He Got Game, where Jesus Shuttlesworth's mom dies after getting pushed over a dishwasher door, I'm still super paranoid when my family is in the kitchen when I'm doing the dishes.

WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT EXISTENTIAL TERROR THAT DIDNT EXIST BEFORE THIS POST.

Nope, but that is definitely a very 2004 soundtrack. Lifehouse is a band I have not thought about for 20 years.
