Requiem

Several of my "Friends & Acquaintances" on the right have seen Requiem for a Dream and enjoyed the brainfuck enough to recommend it. My sister rented it the other day, and last nite we watched it. I must say that I was less than impressed. The first two-thirds were somewhat slow in developing the story and the characters. The last third was cinematographically interesting, graphic, hallucinogenic, but not enough to "rescue" the rest of the film, in my opinion. And how did the director figure that diet pills were worse than cocaine, at least for mental health?! While I didn't really dislike the movie, I can't say that I liked it either.

Meanwhile, I have a new addiction: frozen Heath bars. Thanks, Kinton.
