In that one scene, Adams gives an extraordinary performance, the best in the film, that suggests such a wealth of untapped, barely submerged despair. But the movie has no time for her, and it soon becomes clear that she's only there as an excuse to shock the audience with Haley's sudden (random, uncharacteristic) masturbation. In my book, the movie crossed the line from "awkward" to "awful" in that one scene.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, back to the subject at hand: what scenes have almost single-handedly made you despise a film?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-62786978144446160802007-02-28T15:58:00.000-05:002007-02-28T15:58:00.000-05:00more meryl.....more meryl.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-59125052547841371752007-02-28T15:34:00.000-05:002007-02-28T15:34:00.000-05:00I would like to hear your thoughts on the posibilt...I would like to hear your thoughts on the posibilty of Halle Berry returing to the nominees circle for her role in "Things We Lost in The Fire"Corey S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05917330314276622992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-34892848934524438232007-02-28T15:32:00.000-05:002007-02-28T15:32:00.000-05:00The raining frogs scene in Magnolia is a personal ...The raining frogs scene in Magnolia is a personal favorite of mine for discussion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-12091433233525825712007-02-28T15:03:00.000-05:002007-02-28T15:03:00.000-05:00How about your favorite movie "underwear" moments....How about your favorite movie "underwear" moments.
