I know alot of people who love this film. It's a classic Altman film. We tried watching it last night but grew tired of it pretty quickly. I think he did a decent job in adapting the comic strip (and I suppose cartoon) to live-action, but that doesn't mean it's a good movie. The pacing and editing was too slow for my tastes.
Oh, and HBO SUCKS!! TV SUCKS!! The only reason why I pay money for stupid cable are for those 2-3 HBO series per year. I'm considering dropping cable all-together and just renting those shows on DVD when they become available. Shoot your television - it rots your brain and soul.
But the baby was so cute..
ReplyDeleteCrap? It was Robin Williams at his coked out prime in a Robert Altman film. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but I do have fond memories.
ReplyDeleteI have often wondered why, oh why is it so hard for them to play good movies.
ReplyDeleteOut of the thousands that have been made surely they could find better.
I hear ya! Although they redeemed themselves a bit last night when they played Napoleon Dynamite.
ReplyDeleteRight on sister, amen.
