omigod! i finally got around to seeing that film last night, and here's my opinion: what in the hell were both todd solondz and belle and sebastian POSSIBLY thinking?!! i thought that piece of tripe was the biggest waste of $3.50 that i've ever dropped for a rental. well, not quite, but damn awful close. there was not one redeeming quality to that film WHATSOEVER except for the songs of b&s featured, which really didn't account for enough to sit through the damn thing. i think i'd have done just fine to fast-forward to the end credits just to hear the new song and been just fine with that alone. and i LOVE all that is belle and sebastian AND todd solondz heretofore. what a pretentious, boring, useless and totally offensive film. and not offensive because of content, i think that's what he was aiming for--to be all avant-garde by being as utterly un-p.c. as possible, which i'm all for generally speaking, but this??? it was just trite and long and dry and pointless. the ONLY point made was that "ewww, i can be all shocking 'n' stuff", and really he wasn't at all. why on earth did b&s get their hands dirty with that garbage? chris _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
