Villains by Necessity

Y'know, I should form a rogue pirate theatre troupe. Like a floating crap game, only a floating production company putting up illegal shows. Just think about it.

"Thank you, thank you, we are the Villains By Necessity and thank you for coming to our production of CABARET! They wouldn't give us the rights, but that didn't stop us! Be sure to see us in WICKED at a yet-to-be-disclosed location this Friday, followed by me in a one-man-show version of THE PRODUCERS, which will be performed by the dumpsters behind Tequila Mockingbird. After that, we'll be putting up Morris Panych's VIGIL, CYRANO DE BERGERAC, assembled from five different translations where we picked out the versions we liked, DEAD MAN'S PARTY- a musical based on the songs of Oingo Boingo, and all of Broadway's hottest hits still not available for amateur production, all on... cheese it, it's the feds!"

*throws down smoke pellets, runs away*

Villains by Necessity- The only ones with rights are the PEOPLE!

(apologies to tazira for stealing the name, it just seemed to fit)

CRASH

Well, I finally saw CRASH (the Best Picture winner, not the Cronennerg James Spader/Holly Hunter open-wound fuckfest), and all I can say is thank god I didn't actually pay money to see it.

Now, I'm not gonna call it the dumbest movie ever like my Mom did, but I am curious to know if anyone else found this movie to be an incredibly obvious, cliched, stupid, beat-it-into-your-head, cloying, manipulative, simpering every-antonym-of-subtle bit of Oscar-baiting Hollywood crap?

Just wondering.
