[Rushmore]

The rasterbation thread had so many of you nice young gentlemen gushing about this movie, that I decided to Netflix it.

Good lord, what dreck.

Awful, awful...awful.

Believe me, I know a little bit about movies, and I think I can say with some certainty that this film is pretty awful.

All style, and no substance can be OK.

But all bad style and no substance is just plain bad.

Dumb writing, bad acting...blecch.

Even poor Willem Defoe looked like an imbecile trying to pull something out of this mess. Her came off like a cross between Dennis Hopper's Frank Booth and Gary Oldman's cop character from The Professional, only, uh, gay and, well, overacting horribly.

I want to say that I did not enjoy this film, and I want someone to tell me what I missed.

Is it just that there were a lot of guns and blood and cool stuff like that? Is it that there was a quirky twist--the avenging angels thing? Is it that I am just too high tonight?

What am I missing? You guys generally don't steer me this wrong.
