Of course, I can look back and see a million plot holes, but the whole thing had a pretty great feel as it went along. Either that or Naomi Watts is the most riveting screen presence currently making films. Now please tell me nobody here is about to praise JACKASS: THE MOVIE. _________________________________________________________________ Broadband? Dial-up?

The thing I disliked about Seven, though, was that that John Doe's ranting about how he'd done something so brilliant that people would remember it for years sort of applied to the creators of the movie, too, which in turn made me feel like, yeah, they made this movie extra-disturbing just to mess with people.

I feel better now. By the way, speaking of spouse-music-crossover-compatibility, Stacey and I sorta merge on Todd Rundgren, XTC and Bowie. She gets way into power pop more than I do, and I seem to get into British blues and Italian film soundtracks more than her. A big secret to our married bliss is: 1. Separate checking accounts, and 2. Separate lp and cd collections If I hold off on playing the Beach Boys, she spares me opera. Gil Y!
