Overwritten tripe

an impressive movie, with so many great actors. it's the events really that carry this movie more than anything else, but that's not to say that the other aspects are bad, not at all.

Strikes me as a very Zen movie: for all Eddie's struggles, he'd be fine if he would acknowledge the truths in front of him and stop trying to out-think life itself or argue his way out of pain. The futility of man's attempt to understand and direct things is underlined by all the literally meaningless dialogue: "bla bla bla." And the only characters who seem at all well off are the ones who refuse to lie to themselves, like Artie and Bonnie. Endlessly fascinating.

Absolutely hated it.

I kinda liked this movie, aside form being a showcase for acting talent, there were some well shot scenes, & i get to feel uplifted because i'm not a coke sniffing head case with mouth diarrhea. Why anyone would want to spend time with these people is pretty much beyond me, although they do have somewhat amusing & colorful lives in a pathetic way.

It says it all about itself, even though it even overemphasizes that, blah blah blah

Passes the time.

yeah!!?!
