There might be the case of disliking a film because all of the characters are pathetic which is the case here.Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167966624693577245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15559257.post-71043189037529223422008-10-10T08:31:00.000-07:002008-10-10T08:31:00.000-07:00Perhaps - I'm just sayin' - you didn't enjoy the m...Perhaps - I'm just sayin' - you didn't enjoy the movie becuase you wouldn't enjoy the lifestyle. I say that only because I spent a few days in 1989 with some overprivileged scions in Oklahoma City of all places, whose lives were like those of the characters in LTZ. I enjoyed that time as little as I enjoyed LTZ the movie. Which is to say, the movie may have been spot on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15559257.post-30234343935518607802008-10-06T12:59:00.000-07:002008-10-06T12:59:00.000-07:0080s movies in general are just bad.

I think the reason people got excited about movies like Reality Bites is that they were surprised that movies started to not suck in the 90s.Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167966624693577245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15559257.post-89215985320343804912008-10-06T12:58:00.000-07:002008-10-06T12:58:00.000-07:00You know I am thinking about watching American Psy...You know I am thinking about watching American Psycho (which I never saw!)

Why? I have no idea, now. Loving movies like this one and "Top Gun" in my early teens is always a nice reminder that yes, people can change, and yes, I have changed. Just thinking about "Top Gun" now makes me want to vomit.<BR/><BR/>Don't forget Spader's equally oily turn in Pretty in Pink, by the way. I totally forgot he was in this one too.<BR/><BR/>Will you be going on a Bret Easton Ellis kick now, complete with "American Psycho" and Christian Bale?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
