So I'm here to see A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, but next theater is the day-early premiere screening of DOOM. And there is an angry man yelling at an employee over being denied entry. This is only funny because the angry man is at least in his fifties and looks like Santa Claus.

Santa Claus is pissed off at not being allowed to see DOOM. Top that, David Cronenberg.

Terry Gilliam may have actually died on the catastrophic set of THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE and been replaced by a rabid mandrill. Cherie Priest did a much more professional job of watching THE BOTHERS GRIMM than I, if you want reasonable, go there.

Me, I walked out at the one-hour mark, having had my fill of frothing-at-the-mouth, teeth-clenched-so-hard-they-shatter francophobia and Heath Ledger's constant and nonsensical jock-impersonating-a-nerd whining and fumbling.

Why oh why did they not cast Roberto Benigni in this to warn me away?
