especially when Tarantino focuses on the single ugliest pair of feet in Hollywood, Uma Thurman's. so gross.
feet are gross.
Watched an older film called The Crew, about old wiseguys living retired in Miami Beach. Burt Reynolds was hilarious in it. silly film, but funny, and enjoyable.
Also watched the 1st part of Olive Kittridge, because my wife wanted me to. It was very well-done, very honest, and the acting in it is amazing, but fuck if it was NOT entertaining to me in the least. I do not understand watching something like that for pleasure. I discussed this with my wife and we came to the conclusion that, for various sundry reasons, I have a deep inability to understand inner emotions by reading the face of someone. so, movies like this, where the most important stuff goes unsaid and is instead conveyed by subtext and visual cues and facial expressions mean nothing to me.
I find them to be attempts at making an audience feel as shitty as the writer of the story felt while writing it. hahaha. I could care less.
My wife says the next two parts are different, that the first part deals solely with depression, but I am in no way drawn to continue down that path.
