[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1308990, member: 4319"] Oh, I have an idea. I love that movie and think most of it is brilliant. I take a lot of crap for it though. It's one of the "cool movies to hate". Because people think it "tries too hard" at being deep or meaningful. (Plastic bag scene, etc.) I see it more as a black comedy, intentionally overdone...but brilliant. The mid-life crisis, the teenage stuff, the affair, the job, the gay neighbor, Ricky...it's done that way intentionally. It's not meant to be realistic or believable. I think people just hate it because they heard they should hate it. [I] "The only way I can save myself now is if I start firebombing." "Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars." "I didn't LOSE it - it's not like "whoops! Where did my job go?" I QUIT! Someone pass me the asparagus."[/I] [/QUOTE]
