Bush in '88. That on the telly and the soundtrack music merely serve as ambiance for a (precious, contrived?) story about a disturbed young man experiencing visions of a giant scary bunny who encourages him to perpetuate acts of sabotage. I think you would hate this movie and should not hesitate to skip it. You're not pathetic and "challenging" is largely subjective. I find Far and Away extremely challenging. You walked out on A Clockwork Orange. (!?!) Let's meet again for Fellowship of the Ring? ViaLys, it’s not really *about* Dukakis v. Bush in ‘88.

Who was running, anyway? Sigh. Can't say anything but the soundtrack invites. I'm pathetic with challenging movies. I'm so glad that you are riding that wave. I'm on the beach cheering you on.

The film is set during the '88 presidential election, and the music is a huge nostalgia trip. INXS, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran...takes me back to when MTV was MTV (and I liked to make up dance routines). :-] I'm trolling Facebook and MySpace for James's "Mad World" cover.

Steve said it was "a really bizarre movie." Steve & James love the song "Mad World," so much so that James recorded a nice cover of it this summer. I'll send your review to James for his commentary. I didn't watch it, but I think James' cover of it is one of the better tracks he's recorded. Steve and James saw this on friend Alanna’s recommendation.
