“Still, no matter how bad it is it can’t be as bad as Because I Said So, which has universally been ripped apart by the critics. As usually we haven’t seen much more than the trailers, but when even the film reviewer for 680 News (We apologize to him, we’ve forgotten his name) is kicking the film to bits you know it’s not a classic. Eye’s Adam Nayman calls it “A women’s film that actively hates women”; the Sun’s Liz Braun commits suicide over it (“We discovered the movie was actually co-written by two women, so … we just put our head in the microwave.”) And everyone, all round, laments what has happened to Diane Keaton.”
I should really give thanks to Jim Rossignol for revealing the remarkable insanity of Alejandro Jodorowsky (referred to in this Film Friday) to me in his blog post “Space Messiah, Rabbit Killer.” Or perhaps I should retain my thanks until after I’ve seen The Holy Mountain this weekend?
