I don’t think so but I’m glad Johnny Depp is playing the lead role.

It seems Blue Velvet and Mulholland Dr. is tied so far, and yes Twin Peaks does count.

It had so many better films on it, but the Criterion DVD Collection is full of good films too.

They thought the acting sucked? Johnny Depp excelled at playing Hunter S. Thompson. You’re a smart guy POLARISDIB, you knew the acting was good.

POLARISDIB, it really helps to enjoy the film if you’re a fan of Hunter S. Thompson like I am, but I also know people who don’t know who he is that loved the film.

Yeah, the movie is about two guys on an acid trip so it’s bound to have some crazy stuff in it.

JUSTIN VICARI, I know Gilliam’s characters are wacky but I think they go well in dramatic situations. Look at Robin Williams in the Fisher King

Yeah the energy got pretty overwhelming sometimes. Especially the adrenechrome seen when Benicio Del Toro turns into that devil thing.

DECKARD CROIX, I half agree with you. I think Gilliam does have real characters there just usually very wacky.

Steven Soderbergh's best film. almost 3 years ago

For me it’s Schizopolis.

LAW, Schizopolis is a very bizarre and funny film. However it requires a very bizarre sense of humor, and I mean VERY bizarre. Steven Soderbergh gives a really good performance and it was hard to believe he hadn’t acted before, and it’s on the Criterion Collection. So there are three reasons right there. Also what made you think Traffic was medioce?

FREDO, Out of Sight was good but it didn’t have the originality of Schizopolis.
