Still a good film though. 207897@blogcritics.org Wed, 17 Aug 2005 09:36:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/26/200243.php#comment-123195 It wasn't neccesarily the thinking behind the film that i found risable, more the utterly shitty, shambolic, vacant application of such. Nobody had a clue how to convey any emotion of any sort. It played the same game as Aronofsky's Requiem For A Dream, ie, every tragedy piled on top of the last one just made me laugh at the absurdity of it all. How much more tragic can it get??? It was hilarious. it had all the substance of an especially shitty pop promo. and everyone seemed to think they were acting in Dawsons Creek or something. Even Eric Stoltz couldn't save it from utter gut-busting unintentional hilarity. 123195@blogcritics.org Sun, 27 Feb 2005 14:11:35 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/26/200243.php#comment-123043 Ok, there are rules. You can't post a comment like that without giving a reason. I totally bought the premise and got sucked right in. Going on movie logic, it works. 123043@blogcritics.org Sat, 26 Feb 2005 23:42:55 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/26/200243.php#comment-123000 great review Matt. i have to say, i found the film utterly awful. Incredibly enjoyable, though, as only the truly awful can be. 123000@blogcritics.org Sat, 26 Feb 2005 21:31:21 EST
