best original screenplay... :-(

Rating: 3/10 (15 March 2006)

Wow, Kevin, you made my day by your comments on 'Crash'. I was beginning to feel dangerously misunderstood, as I seem to genuinely think that films that most ppl praise are not worth even hearing about, let alone being watched and get Oscars for them! Disgraceful. "Magnolia" came to mind immediately.. sadly. What a lame attempt to make a point by falling off the stairs and spraining an ankle to realize how unfair you have been to others and how you've taken things for granted all your life (as opposed to the cop's brother who actually died). It's like having champagne with bread sticks. Surely millions and millions of miles away from Haufman's and Anderson's 'simplicity'... Yeah, that's real Hollywood for you - take a perfectly made film and start explaining it, assuming that ppl are stupid enough to piece it all together... reference made to "Abre los ojos", "Magnolia", "The grudge" etc.... how sad. Thanks again, Kevin.
