Cranked and Deflated
It's a little bit of a deflater when you go to a film that's been buzzed up, or which you've been buzzing up in your head, and then it turns out to be, like, less than that. I had two such experiences yesterday. What happens is that in order to work through your reactions you wind up calling everyone you know who's seen them and bat it around. That eats up an hour or two, easy. Especially when you've got two films to discuss.
I've learned from experience to tap something out right away or you'll forget where you put the fuel. One easy way to get rolling is to bounce of someone else's reaction, and one thing I heard this morning is that a certain earlybird fellow suspects that one of the films I saw yesterday may be a "near masterpiece." Yeegodz.

Wow. I guess this means that DISASTER MOVIE and BABYLON A.D. suck.

I hate that about writing. It's so much easier and more fun to talk to someone about a film/story idea/event than write about it. Since you know you do this, why not tape your conversations and consider them first drafts?

I'm guessing the Coen Bros. "Burn After Reading" and the Charlie Kaufman film both of which were screened yesterday in L.A.

Preuming, if Davidb's speculation is correct, the Kaufman film is the "near masterpiece."

Saw the the Charlie Kaufman film and hated it, but i'm not a Charlie Kaufman fan, to say the least.

Surely not the Kaufman. Jeff saw it at Cannes already.
