The Rules of Attraction (*** out of four) is a movie that is challenging, shocking, and provocative, but it nearly collapses underneath the raging nihilistic debauchery of its characters. Moments upon moments of absolutely jaw-dropping depravity unfold on the screen, often played comically, but always to the hilt and out of control. It’s clear that everyone involved in this movie set out to break as many supposed rules as possible, and by the end, their reckless pursuit has had definite consequences...
Man, what a nutty movie. See it, if you think you can handle it.
Oh, I forgot to note in my last post that both the Oscar docu and the Apple ads were created by famed documentary director Errol Morris. I guess Steve Jobs et al. saw the Oscar telecast and payed him to rip himself off. Guess that's better than ripping him off without his permission. ;-) posted by Steve
