mixed I don't know what to do. How many of you saw it and thought it was "The Shit' (©2000 Sean Deason/Matrix records) >> I saw it and whoever didn't like it is *full* of "shit" (neatly avoiding trademark hassles by not using the 'the' prefix). Jet's fight scenes were a little Jackie Chan/found- objects-as-weapons-esque, but the film overall was noirish and very stylized and Aaliyah was incredible. The plot became transparent in the third act of the film but it looked so good, it didn't matter. Its "Romeo and Juliet" subtext was a bit of a stretch, too; in this movie, they weren't lovers (I still like the visually tricked-out Baz Luhrmann alternate-Earth version with Leo and Claire Danes though). The film was set in San Fran and why am I talking about this movie on 313 ? Alan (woken up by upstairs neighbor's mini-revival meeting; wait till I start working on my album)
