Hey, you're preachin' at the choir here, Barker. We went to see it
last weekend (at Antoinette's behest), and rather enjoyed it. The
end, though. Christ! Just when you think Bill Paxton's character
can't BE anymore fucked... Well, don't want to spoil it for the rest
of you. I recommend you all go out and see it. NOW.
What's the deal with his wife, anyway? She had fewer ethics & morals
