i think i learned from watching 21 grams that the main characters aren't always supposed to be likable. once i got my mind around that i liked eyes wide shut (and a bunch of other movies) a lot more.

and i thought the shining was way better than the book. but i think anything with shelley duvall in it is good.

dr. strangelove is boring as hell. for me it's not because it's been done to death by now, but because it's sluggy and sludgy.
