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.

That's the only movie that I've ever wanted to walk out of in my entire life. Unfortunately my friend drove, and she wanted to see the whole thing. I think she was waiting for a plot to develop.

That movie made me want to poke my eyes out. I saw it in the theater with my mom and my aunt and I think we spent most of the time laughing at how awful it was.

Surprised that movie didn't ruin Tom Cruise's career. It's that bad.

Grim combination of over-rated actor and long past his over-rated prime director.

I hate Kubrick with the passion of a million burning suns, but I will say this about him: he usually draws out a good performance from his actors.

It's just that Tom Cruise is downright awful.
