I thought the movie was awful and just couldn't - for the life of me - imagine the performance making it in. So, ya know, I started making excuses against it. Moronic in hindsight, but nobody's perfect. :)<BR/><BR/>I agree, the Filmbitchers are in stark contrast to my tastes.

They just ain't palatable in, let's face it, the way we prefer (non-conformist = good, inexplicable = bad). <BR/><BR/>I, for one, still can't fathom your Diane Lane diss from 2002 and. moreover, can't figure out for the life of me why you dug in your heels so long on that one.
