Sinister: Storytelling...

[frith on the hills]

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?
