So I'd been hearing a buzz about this movie Crash, and added it to my netflicks list. The GF and I finally got around to watching it last night, and were stunned. Before I get any further, watch this movie when you have some time to kill afterwards.
This movie isn't easy to watch. It's largely about racial issues in LA, but it is also about how nobody is all bad or all good. Even the worst character in this movie, played by Matt Dillon, has highly redeemable characteristics. Crash is one of those movies that takes a couple scenes from a a bunch of different people whose lives are intertwined in LA. Some are cops, some criminal, some both. (There's also a TV director, a District Attorney, and Tony Danza.)
I know, that sounds sucky. Trust me though, you want to see this movie. I'm not sure how to describe it other than to say that at one point the gf and I were actually holding our breaths to see what happened next, hoping that we were wrong.
I've watched a shit-ton of movies in my life, and very rarely do I actually care what happens to the characters. This movie was an exception.

Wow, you actually ARE growing a vagina.
Don't worry Goody, there's boob in the movie, so you can watch it for that, and Amy can watch it for the movie itself.
tidbits, the writer/director was the guy that adapted million dollar baby. and he got the idea for crash after being car-jacked himself.
Saw it in the theatre when it came out and it blew me away. Makes ya think almost as much as _Kids_ did back in the day, but not quite as totally disturbing.
what's going on here? it's thursday and no blog since last friday.
i'm gonna have to get clem to start cracking the whip around there.
