i liked sandra oh in that film
after my boyfriend and i saw it in the theater, we both scratched our heads and wondered whether the makers of the movie were trying to present the wine slo...er, snob as haha he's an alcolohic isn't that funny or say, he's got some poignantly funny and darkly humorous moments in the midst of his alcoholism a la leaving las vegas
because it looked like they couldn't make up their minds
also, that movie was about an hour too long. they should have stuck with the slapstick humor and made it like a wes anderson film or something.

That's one of the things that really gave the shits about it: it has this awesome female character, but she gets completely fucked around (fair enough, happens in real life) - but then the film-makers completely forget about her. She just drops out of the film altogether. So suddenly it's like she's not actually a human being at all, just a device to propel the two main characters along, and when the character's no longer useful she's ditched like an old carboard box. I thought that was pretty objectionable.
But I think actually that's the thing I really find unpleasant about Alexander Payne's films: he doesn't seem to actually like people, at all.

i'm guessing it hold more significance if you're middle aged, but it was still stupid

Actually, I saw it with my parents, and they thought it blew cockchunks too. Except my mom doesn't swear, so she said it was "bad". I'm pretty sure I remember my dad saying something about cockchunks though...
I just realized something... parents in their mid-40's aren't exactly middle-aged. Fuck.
Inlander:
Why not? Are they planning to live to 150 or something?

Yikes, looks like I'm alone in liking this movie, I better hide.
