"Movie posters have become increasingly more controversial in the past decade, or else people have become a lot more sensitive. Either way, it seems like there’s a new and controversial movie poster or billboard being banned somewhere. Usually it’s for one of two reasons: sex or violence, with violence being far more popular. One of the first sexually banned posters I could find was 1981’s For Your Eyes Only, which featured an A-frame design that was banned. It wasn’t so much the vaginal roof as it was the exposed buttocks, so they had to release a retouched version that covered more derriere. It’s been more than 25 years since that poster was sent back to the drawing board, so why do posters keep getting banned? Marketing people know that controversy can turn into a marketing campaign of its own, so maybe they’re pushing the boundaries in the vein of “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” With that in mind "

"I absolutely loved watching this film. This is one of Patrick Fugits best movies. I didn't want to see this movie in the beginning because i don't like wrist-cutters and suicide. I decided to watch it anyway, it is a wonderful story and I believe if you want to see it, you should definitely watch this amazing creation of love. "

"What happens when you die? Who cares because even if you kill yourself you get to go ahead and act like nothing ever happened. In this quest for meaning / road trip / buddy movie the answers to life's many questions are ignored as our main protagonist (if you can really call him that) goes on a Dante-like meandering journey through purgatory and doesn't really do anything. Snarky witticisms and blase attitudes aplenty suffocate the dialogue of Wristcutters: A Love Story and the fragmented story-line gave me that not so savory feeling of contemplating actually slitting my wrists.

"Wristcutters is equal parts roadtrip, and bitter comedy. It is a tough pair to pull off, especially when all the characters in the movie have committed suicide. This movie isn’t for everybody, but if you have the patience for it, it does pay off. Zia (Patrick Fugit) puts his world in order and then takes a razor to his wrist. He wakes up in a world depressingly like the one he just abandoned, only more washed out and one where everything is somehow broken. This world is inhabited by all the suicides. They all bear the physicals scars of their death into their new life, where even emotions are drained. After a while, Zia discovers that his girlfriend has also killed herself. He decides to find her, so he and his friend, Eugene, a Russian rocker who electrocuted himself on stage set out across the desolate landscape to find her. Along the way they pick up a hitchhiker (Shannon Sossamon) who claims that she is there by mistake, because she never killed herself. The humor in this ... "

"i have a wonderful picture of all my movie ticket stubs from this year in a pile but i can’t get it transferred to my filmblog (yes, i save my ticket stubs and scrapbook them at the end of the year…i know, it’s sad really)! armed with discount movie coupons, i saw 118 movies this year at the theater and, as usual, it was really hard to narrow them down but here’s my list, for what it’s worth. some are from 2006 that i didn’t see until later. my 15 favorite movies at the theater in 2007the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert fordthe diving bell and the butterflythe lives of othersjunothe painted veilonceno country for old men< "

"Stars Patrick Fugit (the kid from Almost Famous) and Shannyn Sossamon (a model turned actress who plays the insanely hot indie love interest with a chip on her shoulder). It also casts a woefully under-utilzed Tom Waits. I wont say much, but its the great american road trip with a twist -- that everyone is already dead! I think it was the L magazine that trashed it for treating things with levity, but their review reads like a crotchety old mans lament that they dont make em with greta garbo anymore. its the levity thats exactly why this movie works so well. its not some existential examination of the afterlife or suicide, thank christ! it's a funny, endearing romance story.

"(Review originally posted on PNR on 4/22/07)WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORYNOT RATEDSTARS: PATRICK FUGIT, SHANNYN SOSSAMON, SHEA WIGHAM, TOM WAITS, LESLIE BIPP, TOM ARNETT, ABRAHAM BENRUBIDIRECTOR: GORAN DUKICFor those who are curious about life after death, and especially for those who wonder what happens when they kill themselves, Wristcutters: A Love Story offers up an unusual side trip.The movie is the story of Zia (Fugit), a twentysomething young man from New Jersey who kills himself (the suicide opens the movie) over something that happened between he and his girlfriend (it's never actually revealed what happened, but it's implied that he may have found out she was cheating on him).Zia informs us via voiceover that life after death isn't much different from regular life, except that it might even be worse. Since offing himself, he's found a job at Kamikaze Pizza, he lives with a fussy Austrian roommate (Benrubi), and spends his off time hanging out at a local bar, ... "

"I saw Wristcutters: A Love Story at Sundance 2006, and I enjoyed it a lot. A semi-deconstructed road-trip rom-com set in an alternate afterlife reserved for suicides, it seemed like the kind of small-scale, entirely winning if not entirely original indie that you used to be able to happen upon late at night on IFC and fall in love with. Even though it was a touch smarter and darkly cooler than Garden State (no one in Wristcutters would have the dizzy gall to suggest that The Shins could change a person’s life), I really thought it had a chance at breaking through to the same audience. Shows what I know–apparently, there was only room for one unexpectedly “heartwarming” road-trip movie with the set design of a music video at Sundance that year, and at the end of a successful 2006 festival run, Wristcutters all but disappeared. Throughout 2006, I heard a few rumors of release dates, and read that it might go straight to DVD, but nothing ever happened. And then Courtney Solomon entere ... "

"Spout’s partnership with Four Eyed Monsters and YouTube has been a grand success, yielding over 37,000 new members for Spout, and over $37,000 for the film’s creators. Now we’ve launched a similar partnership behind a very different film. Harold Buttleman, Daredevil Stuntman is a comedy about a would-be Evel Kneivel, starring John Hawkes (of Me and You and Everyone We Know and the upcoming Wristcutters: A Love Story), Karen Black and Dan “voice of Homer Simpson” Castellaneta. The film toured the festival circuit and won a number of awards in 2003-2004 (before Hawkes became known for Me and You and Deadwood), but like so many self-produced indies, remained undistributed. Then, earlier this year its director,
