At least, in the 20s-30s, men took hits for being sluts almost as much as women did. Or, Chaplin was a serial groom, and hit with a paternity suit besides, right?
I saw the movie Crash last night. It was great. It was what Magnolia wanted to be.
I was going to dispute this idea, till I realized you do not mean the movie where James Spader becomes a psycho car-crash fetishist and sleeps with everything that moves (based on the J. G. Ballard book).
Why do movie producers not do title searches before they title their movies? Why?

I was right there with you Nutty.

Haha. No. I meant rain-of-toads-Magnolia.
And I don't remember if I mentioned that I saw
Winter Solstice
last week. I thought it was very well done, but boring. There was basically nothing there. To the point that, when it ended, I was like, "that's it?" And yet, wonderful acting. I don't know. I think other people, who possibly enjoy quiet movies more than I do, might like it. But I can't really recommend it.

Ditto. I was thinking "how did I miss Brendan Fraser in that movie? Was he a doctor that treated one of the crazy crash fetishists?"

Oh, I see. Crash is the repeated title. No, this one is new. The writers also worked on Million Dollar Baby. And the writer/director did a lot of TV, including Thirtysomething. And, funnily enough, Walker, Texas Ranger.

Me, too. In fact, I was convinced that you were the first person to ever call Crash "great" without using "twisted" or "disturbing" in the same sentence.
Heh. Having already drooled over that SO PRETTY cast list, I'd forgotten the existence of that other
Crash
movie.

Does anyone know of a film, animated, about an elderly couple who are dying of radiation poisoning but don't quite realise it? It may have been a kids' film, but I don't remember. I know
I
watched it as a kid, and it creeped me the bugfuck out. I'm not sure if it caused my apocalypse neurosis as a child, or if that's the reason it stuck with me. I was discussing it with a friend earlier, and she remembers it as a book, but I'm pretty sure it was a movie I saw.
It's been annoying me all day. Anyone? Bueller?
God. I saw that one too. "The Wind"?
"When The Wind Blows". Based on a children's book by Raymond Briggs.
