pearwaldorfJust spent two hours in sweltering heat watching a really weird movie, unfortunately it sucked, which is unfortunate, because it had some very Murakami-like moments of whimsy. And the commentary by Quentin "I make lots of annoying hand gestures" Tarantino didn't do much to improve my mood. (I was amused to see he was wearing a drab Phat Farm shirt in the post-film discussion, which only accentuated his pasty whiteness)
Maybe it's just me, but when filmmakers try too hard to be arty and not actually do something with the plot, it annoys the shit out of me. I am here to be entertained, occasionally learn a tidbit or two about history or gain some insight into humanity, not ask "Okay. What the FUCK is going on?" eight times during the movie. If that makes me a movie yokel, bring on the moonshine and the shotgun, coz I'm here.
