jesus christ. when did crash become 2005's answer to Triumph of the Will?

i can't take this shit.

Triumph of the Will was actually good filmmaking, though.

Crash winning Oscars will be boring, not irritating. Like the fat chick showing up for the prom in the prettiest dress.

crash winning oscars won't be boring. watching a whole oscar ceremony where one movie wins every oscar.. THAT'S boring.

especially if that film doesnt deserve them, so let's hope they spread em around this year.

i think Crash is this years Garden State. its at the very least an 'okay' movie with some good things going for it and yet everyone has found that it stands for everything they hate.

well, movies with good things in them that end up being really bad are worse than movies where everything is bad. I'd rather watch an amatuer b-movie than Patch Adams and I'd rather watch Patch Adams than Alexander and I'd rather watch Alexander than Crash.

I'd rather watch Days of Thunder than Top Gun and I'd rather watch Top Gun than Mission Impossible: 2 and I'd rather watch Mission Impossible: 2 than The Last Samurai. wow that really does work. But then I'd really rather watch Days of Thunder over all of them.

I'd rather watch a kangaroo masturbate than to watch any of those movies.

The problem with that comparison is that Garden State was a harmless little personal movie, while Crash threatens to destroy the very fabric of reality, one hack scene at a time.

Maybe that's an overstatement....

Nope. Fabric of reality, destroyed. I mean seriously, watch the part where Tony Danza's talking to Terence Howard and tell me that shit's not damaging the universe.

i dont hate on crash as much as most here do...i think the score and cinematography are both quite nice...some of the dialogue is bad and i am not a fan of most of the actors in this film...i liked ryan phillipe/cheadle the most...and i thought that sandra bulluck looked very hot in this film...i do to give crash props for doing something different with the stereotypes/races...spoilers..............................like, in most films african-americans are portrayed as martyrs and the white people are the devils...but in this film a few of the black characters ended up having no redeeming qualities...thats very unusual...in most hollywood films the racial trumpt card is always given to the minorities...and i like how they threw my ass for a loop..when out of all the characters that i related to the most and felt their situations....ryan was who i was pulling for to have a happy ending...and he fucked up...and i like how they made cheadle fuck over his own race to better himself...end of spoilers...........

maybe cine's right..ths iaint that bad.....
its pretty much anit-hollywood in a way...i'll be pulling for munich though
