Crash! Repeatedly overrated

Last night I went and saw the highly touted Crash. That movie sucks. Sucks hardcore. I kinda want to start a facebook group called "I hated Crash" or something, because I feel very passionately that that movie was plain awful. And I know others are with me, but I fear their voices have been silenced by the hype. That flick is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S. SOOOOOO forced. Way too deliberate. The acting was forced, the characters were forced, the racism was forced, the dialogue blew, the tities were forced, and above all, so was the cinematography and the music. Overall, just a piece of shit. The only redeeming feature in my opinion...well, three. First and second, frontal nudity of the feminine sort is always appreciated. Third, the movie did stir something in me. Frustration. Maybe it was supposed to CRASH on into me, but suriously, it wasn't the 5 deliberately tragic plots that CRASHED into my unadulterated mind. No. I was frustrated by the flick. BUT, I was reminded of how quickly we/I dehumanize everybody. Not so much for their race or gender or sexuality. Actually, not that at all. BUT, just in general. How sometimes I just go about neglecting to acknowledge anyone else's existence. That happens a lot I guess. So there ya go, Crash sucked. Here's a link to an article that is better written than my ranting and conveys my points as well as some additonal considerations: http://movies2.nytimes.com/mem/movies/review.html?title1=CRASH%20%28MOVIE%29%20%20%20&reviewer=By%20A%2eO%2e%20SCOTT%20&pdate=20050506 The name Crash has been overrated before, even by yours truly. Dave Mathews' Band Crash is a very good album, but it is NOT great nor is it an amazing achievement. Once upon a time I thought that it was close. I mean I never thought it was an Ok Computer or a Siamese Dream, or an August and Everything After for that matter, but it certainly has its gems. BUT, have you been to Jew camp lately? Ok, I thought not. But back in the day...my goodness. You would have thought Crash was fucking Abbey Road or something. Jam band fans beware, that shit just got played out and it's a bit formulaic and repetitive. But I will say this. Dave hasn't done shit since then. I'm still waiting for that sound. Cuz it was pretty cool,however monotonous it got at times.
