got some netflix entropy going right now - i’ve got 3 serious seeming movies and haven’t been feeling up to watching them yet. so i pulled this out of the dvd rack and realized i hadn’t actually watched it since i bought it and it was probably 18 years since i’d seen it at all. […]

this was kind of too bad at the missed opportunities here. maybe it was just what i wanted, but it seemed like they wanted to make a gritty ‘real’ type movie but were too tentative to do so. the most un-pc they get is when the clearly evil cameo says ‘negroes’. and dan having to […]
