Crash was trash. But the biggest stinker of all time versus the accolades it got has to be the English Patient. I was bored to tears by it’s unconvincing love story, until by the end I sort of felt bad for laughing out loud. people in the theater were in tears. That made it harder for me to stifle my laughter. It started from the moment ralph fiennes escaped the Nazis on the train. When he leaps off, wipes out in the dirt, gets up and starts limping back to kristin Scott Thomas. That’s when I started chuckling. When he finds her and carries her out of the cave and does the silent scream, I couldn’t control myself.
Of course I felt vindicated by thale Seinfeld episode dealing with Elaine getting stuck seeing the English Patient twice. That episode made it all worth while.
Little Miss Sunshine was very overrated. It had test audience written all over it.
Wes Anderson’s films do nothing but propagandize life. The same thing runs through Cameron Crowes films. Their films have false hearts wrapped in showy quirkiness. They are superficially entertaining, but they spend so much energy trying to get you to be impressed with the main characters and very little time grounding them in anything authentic.
Um, did anyone get past the packaging and actually watch the film? This movie shocked me. I’ve never seen such a display. And to think all people can discuss is the plastic case! Freaking hilarious.
ITROTS hits hard from the first few minutes and doesn’t let up. So in-your-face. Close-ups of all body parts, and constant sex that isn’t fake. You’re watching something that is so erotic and then it leads you into madness. No other film has ever led me down that path so thoroughly. I don’t think I will ever forget this one. And I hope it doesn’t encroach upon my thoughts when I’m having sex. Eeek!

Wings of Desire is such a bore. Pasolini’s Teorema was greater because it asked tougher questions about mortality and sexuality.
