I watched
Girl Interrupted tonight. I found the movie disturbing on multiple levels. While it is unreasonable to be bombarded with
images of
Winona Ryder and
Angelina Jolie running around in slumber wear and being chastised in bathtubs by an afro-sportin'
Whoopi it is entirely unreasonable to have them exchanging an adolescent kiss while riding in a VW Vanagon. Come on guys, no hitting in the face.
On a less serious note, this was one of those sequentially disjointed films I know many of you abhor. But, don't sweat it because the networks know your pain given the tv version of the
Godfather II where they cut all the interspersed flashbacks and put them in sequential order to ease the wear and tear on their living room audiences. You can't sell
ad time if the viewers don't understand the picture show. Conversely though, I think it would be interesting to take a film that was presented normally and muck it all up, turning it into one of these time-challenged pieces. How many whos in whoville could follow
Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time if the mall scene came after the sword fight...It was worse than I imagined.
I also wish my first name was
Wings.
