Jeezle Pete, Bruce. How do you really feel?
How about some rational reasons for not liking it.
This just seems like an emotional tirade.

Yeah, and we only get about 354 of those each year,
most of them with Meg Ryan. (Although I think there's
much more to this movie than your pithy description
gives it credit for.)

I don't get this one. I thought it was an overblown
assault on the senses. Take away the color, the
loudness, the conflicted music score, and you
basically got a very shallow story. Boy meets ho. Ho
gets sick and dies. Boy is sad.
Not that it wasn't entertaining. Just a little
overhyped in my opinion.

Absolutely. Unfortunately, and typically, you
wouldn't have known that from last night.

Amazing, they are!
I caught just a bit of the INdepenant Spirit Awards
this weekend. It reminded me how livid I am that
Memento was so overlooked and unappreciated last
night.
More cynical than I usually am about this stuff.
