i know you've mentioned im as scorsese's potential successor in the "intensity" department, so this one is not like that at all--this one has the pynchon paranoia but also its goofiness. in spite of the crime and all the drama, it's definitely a comedy-- both in the way it looks at people and in the classic happy ending form. [SORRY SPOILERS]
now i'm curious about something-- i know you favor horror (it's not really my thing, save some great exceptions). but how do you feel about the comedies in general?
