of course there aren't supposed to be vegetables-- these are stock stories. everybody knows how they're going to end. they won't provide you with the key to life or shocking plot twists. they're an excuse to get your senses bombarded with color, sound, blood, and beautiful faces. there is nothing underneath. just stylistic overload.

drive works with the logic of dreams, not the logic of reality-- like melville's "le samourai". it's not supposed to be examined for plausibility-- what hitchcock called "moronic logic"-- looking for explanations instead of having fun: http://news.google.com/newspapers?ni...g=5468,3832269

if this movie isn't doing its thing you need to calibrate your screen and fix your speakers. don't ask for what it never offered in the first place. its offering is postulated from the start. then again, not everybody likes ice cream.
