One up to the cynics - a pretty neat trick!!!

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2005)

Wow... a pretty neat trick by a bunch of clever and cynical guys - they seem to be saying that if you don't think much of this movie, you must be on the side of the "enemy"! But the fact is, one of the central themes of this movie is perfectly correct - if you watch enough trash, you'll end up thinking that trash can save the world!!! Well done, lads. In a world that seems increasingly conventional and square, this film must stand as a landmark on the pathway to total squareness... yet gosh! it seems so daring.... It's just kind of sad that the version of democracy we have in the Western world means we're forever digging deeper and deeper into the mire to establish just where the level of democratic lowest-common-denominator lies. Certain other commentators mentioned that they were genuinely shocked by this movie and that perhaps it wouldn't have worked otherwise. Maybe they should go figure just what it was that shocked them and ask a few deeper questions about where we are all headed...
