Yep... twice in one day. Hasn't happened since May, but here we go. Just finished watching "The Opposite of Sex" with Lisa Kudrow and Christina Ricci; a great independent film with interesting characters, not many unpredictable plot twists, but the script, and acting made up for the predictability. Ms. Ricci played a truly reprehensible reprobate - Ms. "Trailer Trash" with a capital 'Bee' - Yotch.
Yes, I'm still working my way through the 1001 Movies list, and the next films on my watch list are 'Memento', 'United 93', 'Adaptation', and 'Live and Become'. I saw 'Chungking Express' earlier in the week, and I really don't understand why (or how) that film made the list.... Oh, sure... Mr. Quintin "I'm-a-God-among-film-makers" Tarantino liked it, and introduces the DVD, but PLEASE. Two disconnected rambling stories. No script, no plot, no likable characters. Come on! Give me characters I can care about! His introduction was almost as unbearable as the introduction to 'Spirited Away' by John Lasseter [how many drinks had HE had while filming THAT intro].
