Yeah I don't have any real moral qualms with the movie or anything (My mom insists its the liberal media trying to convert our men to gayness). I do find it to be pretty unpalatable, though. Then add to that that I'm mostly just an action/thriller buff as far as movies go, and you've just about killed any reason I have to see it. Guess I'm in the same boat as Mazra.

Crash was so obvious. So tired, overdone and bloody obvious.
Arg...I have to vent about that one too. I was coerced into seeing it by my ex-girlfriend. She absolutely loved the movie simply because it hammered, as tricky said, "racism is bad!" into your head. I couldn't say anything at the time (because she would have been mad at me for the next two weeks as a result) but I thought it was trite and unintelligent, with shallow and unbelievably overblown characters.
We had a mildly interesting conversation about the arab shop owner (the ex is lebanese), because I thought he was a jackass and my ex had sympathy for him as a foreigner. But then she got pissed at me for not agreeing, and that was the end of that.
Stupid movie. And didn't it win best picture or something? I knew there was a reason why I didn't watch award shows.
