And yes there will be spoilers below.
What the hell is the deal with Revolutionary Road? That movie is a huge stinking pile of crap slathered on a giant dung cracker. It's so bad, I couldn't believe it. I was sitting there, thinking, "Either kill yourself or sail off to France, but do it quickly." I cared so little about both the husband and the wife that I really wished the worst would happen to both of them. Then there's the dishwater dull script and the "shocking" visuals and Kathy Bates' flabby arms. Egad. Pretty much the only two good things in the film were Michael Shannon's truth-talking loonie mathematician and the skinny ties -- and then Shannon had only three scenes, while the ties featured heavily in only two.
Want to know how bad this movie is? Even Kate Winslett can't save it. Not convinced? How about this? It was Mick Lasalle's fave US movie of 2008. He even gave 10 reasons why, and not a single one stands up. (Alright, I agree that it could've been interesting having a guy who wants to be a big shot and a lady who wants to be a beatnik claw their way out of a marriage, but jesus this isn't that film.) Methinks that maybe Lasalle's wife should check for the smell of another woman's perfume on his neck, if he thinks that extra-marital sex is a sign of creative barrenness.
Jake and Waldo, you have a lot to answer for. I want my $10 back.
PS. Citron not so good.

That's too bad about the bad movie, but somehow I am not surprised. As for Citron, you went out on a Sunday night, that's not really a fair chance, right?
go get 'em, grumpy! i wasn't go see that movie anyway.
Yes, we have proven that Sunday nights are bad for eating out but alright for fighting. No, wait, that's Saturday, isn't it?
