I stopped reading your post at [ QUOTE ] I thought White Chicks was going to be a smart commentary on racial perceptions in America. [/ QUOTE ] Sort of hard to be interested in too much more you had to say. [/ QUOTE ] This is hilarious. EDIT: Rushmore, I don't know you very well; can you elaborate on your background? You're very well spoken and clearly well-versed in film. |

eyes wide shut......crap movie, great nudity thin red line...4 hours of my life gone forever [/ QUOTE ] Yup, I'm glad someone finally mentioned The Thin Red Line. I stayed until the bitter end, but most of the rest of the theatre walked out. Another one that just dragged on forever was Magnolia. |

I don't know about his other movies, but I saw Mulholland Drive so I completely understand it. The anti-Lynchism that is - not the movie.

I'm beginning to think maybe the MPAA should institute a licensing system so that people need to qualify in order to be able to actually go to the movies or even rent a movie or buy one on pay-per-view. It's true, Magnolia was maybe a half hour longer than the average movie. They really cluttered it all up with all of that, you know... artistry. |

Mulholland Drive
Memory is real bad on this one, but when I was young I saw a movie called Brazil that fits the m.o., but who knows, maybe I need to see it again. Despite the bag line, I thought American Beauty was good. Those of you who said Usual Suspects must have the movie ruined for you by overhype or something before you saw it, otherwise you're on crack. |

They are genius [/ QUOTE ] If you want to call Mulholland Drive art, more power to you, but I draw the line at "genius". Unless the genius is in convincing a bunch of people that you're some kind of great director. |
