… but I still want to see it.
OK OK. I know how terrible Brown Bunny is. I just read this review (in addition to the others I have read since it was first screened at Cannes).
My favourite line in the review mentioned above is the line that “…the 5 day road trip (seems to be) happening in real time…”.
But, I still really want to see it. The trailer which you can find somewhere online, is actually pretty darn good, I thought. If that is the style of the film, then I reckon it’s gonna be pretty darn good.
Anyway, it can’t be any worse than a lot of the films I saw during my university days. Having said that, I can’t think of one film that was stand-out bad. Scott, Tim, Claire? Fancy reminding me? I know there were some. I remember leaving the cinema fuming. I even remember leaving a cinema during a film. Just can’t for the life of me remember what film it was.

Several days after this post, I received the following message from Tim:
…..Pedro Almodovar’s High Heels. We got the hell out of the cinema after
10 minutes. Otherwise all of the bad films have left my memory. There were heaps
though.
He’s right. I remember leaving the cinema feeling as though we had been personally cheated and crossed. I can’t remember what I hated about it, but the bitter taste stayed for some time. I just read about High Heels and now I kind of want to give it a second chance.
Should I? Shouldn’t I?
