I said it\’s good because I\’ve seen it. I\’m sure you have too. I actually appreciated that this post acknowledged that people seem to like the movie — I just thought maybe the writers would cop to how much they had been shitting on it previously because of the bad trailer.

By the way, I live in Los Angeles so I can see pretty much anything on opening weekend that gets released on at least two screens. But if I lived in jerkwaterburg, probably my only chance to see this movie when it first comes out (or any movie that doesn\’t get a wide release) would be on a premium VOD program like magnolia is doing (and the Weinsteins are probably about to do). But you knew that, right? You seem very knowledgeable.

The writer thought it looked like shit. He\’s entitled to his opinion, just as you\’re unfortunately somewhat entitled to this comment. Maybe it\’s great, if so cool. Any writer here is usually the first one to call himself out if something is actually good, but hey, you nor he have actually seen the movie, so who says its good?

And Magnolia is tiny. I\’m sure you\’re not going to see it until its on DVD cause it won\’t be released in your jerkwaterburg.
