I HATED IT...HOW CAN I GET THE TIME IT TOOK TO WATCH BACK INTO MY LIFE?

Yeah, I know there will be an assortment of pseudo-wannabe film critics who can find great depth in a rain puddle, who will rationalize their love of this movie, but I truly HATED THIS MOVIE. I spent the last 20 minutes mouth breathing with my jaw on my chest. First time I've seen Streep look incredibly ridiculous in a role, during that period. Cooper was very good, but I kept watching Cage 'acting.' That seems to happen a lot when I watch him. I can't believe all the positive attention this film got. Making money sharing your not very unique angst with the population...how lucky can one get?

Oh well.

And yet you are content to dive right in and drown in it. Congrats.

BTW, "pseudo" means "fake." Thus, a fake wannabe critic is an actual wannabe critic, thus a *real* critic, by your own rubric.

"Beethoven had his critics too, Keith. See if you can name three of 'em."

Okay, so what did you dislike about it? Besides acting I mean? Your comment didn't say anything about anything else.

The title of your post is one of the biggest cliches on the IMDB message boards. It follows that you wouldn't be interested in originality and genre subversion.

Just forget you ever saw it. It's better that way.

All you need is a time machine.

...by wasting even more time online, bitching about it to strangers. That will help.
