But if I showed you 15 minutes of me driving around on the freeway,
you'd think I was torturing you.
Well yah but that's because it'd be /you/. :o)
It's like that unauthenticated Pollock painting. If it is authenticated,
it's a masterpiece. If not, it's just paint dribbled on canvas. The
painting is the same in either case.
Not at all. The comparison doesn't make sense. I and others I discussed
it with found the scene was very powerful, and when I first watched the
movie I had no opinion about the director etc. That you didn't find
anything in it doesn't automatically make it crappy.
