Eyes Wide Shut. Aiiiii! Pluck them out!!!!!!

[foxmonkey]

Watched the last half of Eyes Wide Shut this morning. Speaking of eyes wide shut, I wish mine had been when I saw this posted in the guide. That way I'd have passed it by. Aiiiii!

Is it me, or did that screenplay suck a million smegma-fied monkey balls??? I swear, half the dialogue was made up of Tom Cruise's character repeating what someone had already said.


Actress: "I have to go downtown tomorrow."

Dr. Bill (stares at Actress in an extremely wooden way): "You have to go downtown tomorrow?"

Actress: "Yes, I need to get tomatoes. Do you want to go?"

Dr. Bill: "Do I want to go?"


Aiiiii! Kill me now! Better yet, kill *him*!

And also, the man has two expressions. He's not on my list of favorite actors, but I really liked Minority Report and. Hmmm. Something else he was in. But OY, with the agony of wooden acting in this one! Director's fault, maybe? Yikes.

I agree, the movie sucks ass. The only scene worth a shit is the orgy! *laughs* I've seen the movie a couple of times now (because it always seems to be on in the hotel in the middle of the night when I can't sleep!) and I still don't get the plot.

Figures, because that's the part I missed. ;-) I remember all the hoo-hah before it came out, about the nakeyness and the closed set and all, so I was curious. I figured I'd missed it since I was about halfway in when I started watching.

That's why I kept watching, because a lot of movies you can still pick up on and enjoy even halfway through. I'm going, "weh?" And honestly, Tom Cruise's performance didn't help in the least. Bleh.

You're right... his performance pretty well sucked. Could he have been more pretenious and boring?

The orgy scene was cool, though. He's just walking through this huge mansion and people are fucking everywhere. Everyone was wearing masks, of course, kind of adding to the mystique. I liked it! Now, if it's on, I'll watch that part, then shut it off! ahahaha!
